HYDRoPHoBIA AND EMpIRICIsM.--The London
Morning Star says:
Some time ago statement appeared in all
the journals that ten persons had been bitten
by mad dog at Author (Eurc-ct-L -Loire) The
Jounal de Chartres now announces the death of
the fourth victim, little girl, who had ap-
pcared quite we'll till three or four days back.
when the dreadful mala1y appeared and car
ried her off in a few hours. The six other per
sons bitten seem to be out of all danger The
same paper then proceeds: Thirty years ago
three persons of that village We're bitten by a
mad dog. Two Of them applied to man who
was said to possess an nfalsblc cure for hydro
phobia, handed down from father to son for
several generations. They both got well, while
the third, who applied to a regular practition-
cr, died few days after. This fact was uni
versally known in the country round
and when the last sad affair occurred, six o
the persons bitten applied to the son of the EN-
piric, who now possesses his fathers secret, the
other four being treated by professional men
The result is that the six survivors are those
who had recourse to the secret remedy while
the four who have died were treated by tn,
faculty. We cannot explain these facts, bu
we can guarantee their Authenticity

TooTTI-DRAwING IN SrAIN.--.A recent traveller
in Spain describes an itincrant dentist. in the
public square at Caliz, to whom patient, in
the shape of pain-strickcn muleeer, came,
gripping at his jaw for assistance. The grave
quack did not dismount hardly stopped in his
saddle, but, with one experienced, far-sightcd
keen glance at the cavcrnous tooth, drew q
long Toledo rapier, with curious twisted steel

under the muletccr's black fang, and scooped
it out with single twitch. With military pre-
cision he wiped his sword, slipped it back into
its sheath. held out his hand for the two-penny
fee, touched his hat and rode grayely away.

About the Size of Farms.

An old Roman story says \ certain vine
dresser had two daughters and vineyard
When his eldest daughter was married, he gave
her third of his vineyard, and raised as much
on what he had left. as he had raised on the
whole. When his youngest daughter was mar
ricd he gave her half of what remained, and
the product of his vineyard remained undimin
ishcd." This was the result of his bestowing rs
much labor on the third part as he had been
accustomed to perform on the whole. A great
majority of farmers would profit by the eXper-
imcnt Of the old Roman. AS a general rule We
need smaller farms. All will agree that
small quantity of land, when properly cultiva-
ted, will produce as much as double the guam
tity improperly or poorly cultivated. We have
heard farmers owning as high as q hundred
acres of tillable lard, say that their lands
didn't pay. and that they must have more land
cleared. Let lis look at his farm, and we will
see clumps Of bushes growing up in the fence
corners, around stumps and in open fields,
growing and gaining ground every year. His
fences are dapidated and going down; gates
and barn doors ure proppcd up, and an ap-
pearance of carelessnGss and neglect pcrvades
the whole farm. He has no time to fix these
things up for he must arork IN his clearing. No
wonder his farm don't pay! He neglccts to
tend properly what he already has, in his hurry
to get new ground ready for wheat, or corn, as
the case may be. IT, instead of clearing SO
much land, he would properly cultivate what
he has, he would find it would pay him, not
only in pecuniary point Of view, but in the
improvement and appearance of the place
Instead of trying to extend the area of his
acres, he should try to increase the products OF
them. Farming is a science, and can be stu
died with as much pl oft and pleasure as any
other science, and it should be done.
If Il man can stock and carry on a farm pro-
pcrly, making the soil yield its greatest capaci-
ty, there can be no objection to him adding
acre after acre, and thus securing the advanta-
gcs which large farm has over smaller one
The size Of the farm should always be proper
toned to the capital invested otherwise il
uon't pay Let us labor to improve and adorr
| what we already havc.'

elsewhere in issue of to-day that the explana-

THE STANDARD AND Mr. RAYNER-We deem it
due to ourself, no less than to neighbor, Mr..
Holden, to emphatically dsclaim any the slightest
intention or wish to rip up and bring upon the tapis
again. any old quarrel difficulty which may have
existed between him and Mr.. Rayner. That old
quarrel or difficulty, were aware, when we wrote
our article had been settled amicably and honoraby
to both parties and that their relations
dial and friendly. Our purpose in our article was
simply to make hit at our neighbor about what he
said of the hard " knocks" given by Mr.. Rayner to
the Democracy. No man living holds in more su-
preme contempt than We do, breeder of quarrels
and stIfes, and no man would do more, instead of
making them to close breaches among friends and
neighbors We do not desire personalities in the
campaign" No matter how hard and spirited the
fight may be. and matter how fast and thick the
blows may fall, we wish to see them given and re-
turned in all knightly courtesy"

Connecticut Election.

HARTFORD, CoNN., April 3, noon.-The annual
election for Governor and members of the Legisla-
ture took place to-day in this State after one of the
most exciting contests ever witnessed at similar
election in the Union. The battle was between the
Democrats and the Republicans the friends
of the Union North and South, on the one side, and
the advocates ofsectonalism and rampant fanaticsm
on the other.
The candidates for Governor were seymour, DEM,
and Buckingham, Rep. Last year the Republican
majority in the State was 1870. At the last Presi-
dental election, Fremont, Republican, carried the
State by majority of 1920.
In eighty-fve towns over half the State, Buck
ingham, Republican, for Governor, leads by one
thousand. This includes heavy maorities in Mid
detown Waterbury and most of the Democratic
districts.
In the House of Representatives the Republicans
will have an increased majority. The Senate Will
probably stand the same.
Seymours majority in New Haven is $50
Hartford, April 3.-Seymour is defeated by only
200 votes.
New HAVEN, April 3-Complete returns give
Buckingham majority of 81. In the Legislature
there is large Republican majority.
New HAVEN, April st is generally conceded
that the Republicans have carried the State by up
wards of one thousand majority.
