How to Treat the Bite of Mad Dog.

DR.. Stephen Ware, Of Boston, in bis testi.
mony in recent case which grew out OF the
injuries from the bite of dog, furnished tho
following valuable advice:
In the case Of the bite Of dog, where tho
teeth Of the animal penetrated the flesh, whether
the dog was known to be mad or not, he should
use the same precautions. lie wonld wash
the wound with warm water, extract all the
virus possible by sucking the wound with his
lips, and then cauterize il deeply with tho
caustic most readily obtained bot should use
potash if it could be procured at once. The
time in which the effects of the bite Of mad
dog would be seen varied from two to threo
days to as many years, but If no effects were
felt after two or three months, as general
thing, the patient might consider himself safe.
Bites made through clothing are seldom pro-
ductve Of much harm, rs even if the dog is
mad the clothing absorbs the virns before the
teeth reach the flesh. Most Of all the fatal
cases are where the person was bitten on soms
naked part

THOU ART NOT HAPPY!

Thou art not happy, Nina dear
see il in thine eyes;
IT'S pictured in the stealthy tear;
IT'S whispered in thy sighs.
It grieves me much, to see thy grief,
And saddens me TO know,
That cannot afford relief,
NCr sUotIe thy bitter woe.
Did I Golconda's wealth possess,
Or tabled Ind's vast store,
I'd all renounce could thy distress
But find efiectual cure.
Thou art too young, too pure, too good,
To fall, a hopeless prey,
To sorrows snrelenting mood
And sigh thy life away.
Ifin thy heart one lone regret
Still fingers, love, for me,
Discard the feeling
Be happy and be free!
would not cause one throe of pain
To thrill thy virgin breast,
Copld all this worlds treasure gain
And be forever blest.
Though sighs, dear girl, be heaved for me,
Though gen'rous tears may flow,
] still must bear my misery
Must drain the cup OF woe.
Then Oh rebuke each cruel tear
That so bedims those eyes
Look up to God-Thy spirit cheer
Cease, Nina-caase thy sighs.
