CURE FOR HYDRoPHoB1A.-The Newark IN.
j.. Advertiser is requested to publish the follow
ing, said to be preventive of hydrophobia, as
discovered by French physician, NJ. Cesar:
"Take two table spoonsful of of fresh Chlro-
ride of Lime, mix with half pint of water, and
with this wash, keep the wound constantly
bathed, the lotion to be frequently renewed. The
chloride gas possesses the power of decompo-
sing the tremendous poison, and renders mild
and harmless that venom against whose resist
less attack the artillery of medical science has
so long been directed in vain. 1t is necessary to
add that this wash should be applied as soon as
possible after the infction of the bite The fol-
lowing are the results of this treatment: From
1910 to 1924 the number of patients admitted
in to Breslau hospital was 1874, of whom only
t,co died; 1874 to 1924, into the hospital at Zu-
rich, 223 persons bitten by different animals,
(s2 by dogs,) of whom only four died."
another Cure.-Take handful of strawberry
leaves and pour on them half pint of boiling
water; let it remain one hour and drink the tea.
If boiling water cannot be had, chew and swal-
low the leaves. This, it is said, is a most valu-
able and efficient remedy. 1t rarely fails to
give immediate relief and perform permanent
cure.

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON THE Color OF
MANK1ND.-For 1900 years the Jewish race has
been dispersed into different ATTITUDES and
climates. and they have preserved themselves
most distinct from any intermixture with the
other races of mankind There are some Jews
still lingering in the valleys of the Jordan, hav-
ing been oppressed by the successive conquerors
of Syria for ages-a low race of people, and
described by trustworthy travellers as being as
black as any of the Ethiopian races Others of
the Jewish people participating in European
civilization, and dwelling in the northern nations.
show instances of the light complexion, the blue
eyes, and light hair of the Scandinavian families.
We see then how to account for the difference in
color, without having to refer them to original
and specific distinctions.-Prof. Ouen.

Gallipoli:
SOLDIERS OF FRANCE We are on foreign

with hospitality. Do you know what is meant
by hospitality in the Orient? The guest is
made the equal of the master of the house.
You will not abuse this hospitality We are

barous aggression of the Gar. Our mission is
great, and if, with the assistance of God we
succeed in accomplishing it, we shall cover our
selves with glory as did our ancestors Our
Emperor thinks only of the glory of France and
of your welfare. He expects from you, in the
struggles against the barbarians of the North,
the courage and valor which will increase the
glory of our country Let "Vive rEmpereuro

our immortal ancestors to victory With the
cry Of "Vive PEmpereur," we will conquer or

OUR RELATIONS WITH SpA1N.-"X," the
washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
says:
There is nothing warlike in the last dispatches
from Madrid. Negotiations for the acquisition
OF the Island of Cuba are certainly on foot, and
will, IN all probability, succeed if not interfered
with by the premature action of Congress. The
chairman of the House committee on foreign re-
lations is giving evidence of his wisdom and dis
erection by not reporting on the many resolutions
referred to him on that subject There is pro-
baby no better Saxon proverb than that of
letting well enough alone.

Cooley FOR JuLY.-We have so often spoken
of the merits Of this exclusively American Mag
azine, that we are at a loss for words or ideas
to do the subject justice, without committing a
plagiarism by repeating what we have previous
ly said. Suffice it, then, to say, that the
present number is one that fully sustains its
former high reputation as one of the most pop
ular periodicals of the day; and its founder is
fully deserving Of that support which his fair
country-women have so literally bestowed. The
present number is indeed gem.

AMERICAN BooKs.-In 1852 the whole num-
Der Of new books published in this country was
966-reprints 322-total 128S-new editions
49, The small proportion Of reprints only one
fourth, speaks well for the rising literature of
our country, which only wants encouragement
and fair division Of profits to enssre new
original growth of our own, without Sofvility to
foreign models. Until We possess An original
American literature, we shall continue to be, in
important respects, in sort Of colonial infe-
riority and dependence on Great Britain. OF
the publishers of the works aforesaid, 191 in
number, seventy two were in New York, 30 in
Philadelphia, and 81 in Boston. The remainder
