The little good Obetry In the world has resulted In a flood of doggeral that create the usplclon that every man and woman on earth believe iui mm Nature and Symptoms of the Orlp and Ita Treatment. Influenza, or the grip, Is an acute In fectloua fever which usually occurs In widespread epidemics. It travela, as cholera formerly did, In waves over the world, running generally from the east to the west. It nttneks n very large proportion of the population, especially at the beginning of an epidemic; theu In recurrent yenra It seizes upon those who have previously escaped, and the epidemic doea not finally die out until nearly every ouo has suffered Ita mis eries. Medical writers usually distinguish three forms of Influenza, according as the nervous, the digestive, or the catar rhal symptoms predominate; but all constitute one anil the same disease, and one form mny enslly pass Into an other In the course of the same attack. In a typical case Influenza begin suddenly with a general 111 feeling, headache, pains In the muscles aud in the back, loss of appetite, and a sense of extreme weakness. There may be a bard chill, or a succession of slight chills, or a general chilly sensation, and soon a high fever declares Itself. The eyes are often congested aud sen sitive to light, the nose runs, there Is pain at the root of the nose and over the eyes, and all the symptoms of a se vere cold in the head nre experienced. The tongue Is heavily coated, swallow lug Is difficult or painful, aud the voice Is hoarse or whispering. Often there I more or less Jnundlce. The pulse Is very rapid and wenk, especially when the patient stuuds. A peculiar symptom In Influenza, oiu that often servea to distinguish It sburply from an ordinary cold, Is a mnrked depression of spirits; the pa tient is plunged ln despair, and no nmouut of argument or raillery has any effect on bis misery. Iu some severe cases of the no-called nervous form of the disease this melancholy Is so ex treme aa to lead to attempts nt suicide. In the gastric form of lufluenza wo find a loathing for food, nausea and vomiting, and severe bowel troubles. In the respiratory forms, bronchltla nnd especlnlly pucumonla nro frequent and dangeroua compllcatlona. in the treatment of grip we must first remember that we are dealing with no ordinary cold, but with a se vere disease calling for as much care as scarlet fever or pneumonia. The patient must not only stay In the house but In bed. All cases of grip, whether mild or severe, need n physi cian's oversight. Youth's Companion. WILL LEAD THE LIBERALS.

"Wliut was the uiot I merest i ug and Inqiortaut of all the eveuts that 00- j . lined during the battle of Man la buy V" This question has beeu put to DM N ufteu since my return from the I'hlttp pines that 1 am glad to be at liberty -now that Huce Is assured to un-wvr It without risk of givlug aid aud GOBI fort to the enemy. It has always tecn assumed in the Vulted Ktutes that, from start to finish, there was uothlllg fell on our tide ex cept a buoyant certainty of victory. It will do uo harm uow to tell the real facts. It will lie remembered that the tattle began at six minutes past B o'clock on the morning, of May 1; that Commodore Dewey led the line of American war ship Into action In his flHKshlp Oh in put; that, after a tierce fight, lasting two hours an.l a half, the attacking Beet rctlrisl from the battle Into the center of Manila bay. and did not re new the uttuck until nearly four hours later. When we hauled off from the lighting line at 7 :i0 o'clock, the sit tuition bad become apparently serious for lomuio dore Dewey. We had been lighting a determined and courageous enemy for more tbau two hours without having noticeably diminished the volume of his fire. It Is true, at least three of bis ships hnd broken Into flames, but so had one of ours the Koston. These tins hud all been put out without up parent injury to the ships. Generally speaking, nothing of great lmsrtaucc had occurred to show that we had se riously Injured any Spanish vessel. They were nil steaming about In the bight back of Sungley point, or In ltukor bay, as actively as when we flrst sighted them In the early dawn. So far, therefore, we could see noth lug Indlcntlng that the enemy was lens able to defeud his position than he hud been at the heglnulng. l)n the other hand, our condition was greatly altered for the worse. There remained In the magailues of the Olympla only eighty-five rounds of r. Inch ammunition, and though the stock of 8-Inch charges was not pro portionately depleted, It was reduced enough to make the continuance of the battle for another two hours Impos sible. When It Is remembered that Commodore Dewey wns more than 7,000 mllea from a home port, and that under the most fuvorable conditions a supply of ammunition could not be ob tained In less than a month, the out look was far from being satisfactory. The Commodore knew that the Smiii 1 lards hud Just received nn ample sup ply of ammunition In the transport ; Mindanao, so thut there was no hoie of exhausting their lighting power by an action lasting twice as long. If we should run short of powdof uud shell, we might become the bunted Instead of the hunters. I do not exaggerate In the least when J I say that, as we hauled off Into the bay, the gloom ou the bridge of the Olympla was thicker than a I.oudou fog In November. Neither Commodore Dewey nor any of the stuff believed that the Spanish ships had beeu sunY clently Injured by our lire to prevent them from renewing the buttle quite as furiously as they had previously fought. Indeed, we bad all been dis tinctly dlsapitolnted In the results of our fire. Our projectile teemed to go too high or too low Just us hud Ih'cii the case with those tired nt us by the Spaniards. Several times the Commo dore had expressed dissatisfaction wlih the fullure of our gunners to lilt the enemy. We had begun the tiring at too great a distance, but we had grail ually worked In further on each of the turns, until we were within alsiut 2,500 yard at the close of the fifth round. At that distance, ln a smooth sen, wo ought to have made a lurge percentage of lilts ; yet, so fur as we could Judge, we had not sensibly crip pled the foe. Consequently Commo dore Dewey hauled out Into the open bay at the end of the fifth round to take stock of ammunition and devise a new plan of attack. Aa I went aft the men asked me what we were hauling off for. They were In a distinctly different humor from that which prevailed on the bridge. They believed t tint they had done well, and that the other ships hnd done likewise. The Olympla cheer ed the Haltlmore, and the Baltimore returned the cheers with Interest. The gun captains were not at all dissatis fied with the result of their work. Whether they had a better knowledge of the accuracy of their aim than we had ou the bridge, or whether they took it for granted that the enemy must have suffered severely after so much fighting, I do not know; al any rate, they were eager to go on with the battle, and were confident of vic tory. I told one of them that we were merely hauling off for breakfast, which statement elicited the appeal to (Cap tain I.amberton, as he came past a mo ment later: "For Cod's sake, Captain, don't let u stop now. To hell with breakfast!'' When I told the Commodore that I Intended to attribute our withdrawal to the need for breakfast, ne Intimated that It was not h matter of so much Importance what ivbsou I gave, so long as I did not give the true one. And so the breakfast episode went to the world as a plausible excuse for what seemed like an extraordinary strategic maneuver -one which has been the subject of more comment than almost hi, other event during the battle. Many people have said to me that It would be a pity to iolI so goon a story uy telling the truth; but, aa the Commo dore will le sure to let the cat out of the bag some dny. I may aa well let her have her freedom now. Of course we learned the truth about the effect of our fire when we saw, soon afterward, the flames riling from the Itelna Crlstlnn and the Castllla, and beard the explosion of their ammuni tion and the former's magazine.
