Interesting statistics Of HndrophobIA.

On the fourth of July last, the French
secretary Of the interior communicated TO
the Academy of Science IN Paris, report
concerning all the cases of hydrophobia
which had come 10 the knowledge of his
employees from 1853 TO 1869. Only eight
out of the one hundred departments into
which France is divided, failed to send in
reports, whilst in thirty departments
there had not occurred a single case ofhy-
drophobia. In the remaining forty.nine
departments 800 persons were bitten by
mad dogs. In 1870 cases the biting was
followed by hydrophobia in 1913 cases
the bitten persons suffered from no evil
consequence, and IL was never made
known what became Of the remaining 68.
1t is probable, however, that the majority
OF those were spared from the terrible
disease. In every case, without any ex-
ception, where hydrophobia broke out
the patients died. OF the whole number
of persons bitten only 26 were females.
Two-thirds of all persons who had been
bitten were males between five and fifteen
years of age. The number of mad dogs
was very nearly equally divided through
the four seasons, most of them, however
(S9), became mad in the forepart of the
year. Their number diminished some
what during the hottest months. The Of
ficers succeeded in establishing the time
when the hydrophobia broke out in 106
cases. In 73 cases 1t broke out during the
first two months after the patients were
bitten, and the other cases were divided
among the following six months, only two
falling sick in the eighth month. The dis
ease never lasted longer than four days,
and almost all the patients died the second
day. OF all the remedies employed after
a person was bitten by mad dog, the
burning of the wound proved the only
one which was followed by good results
of 134 persons whose wounds were burned,
% remained without evil consequences
whilst the same was the case with only 10
OF 90 whose wounds were not burned
The sucking of the wounds, or their treat
ment with ammonia Immediately after the
persons were bitten, proved salutary also
in many cases, but cauterization was far
the safest means of all. The report, more.
over, states that of 7s5 dogs which were
bitten by other mad dogs 526 were killed
at once, whilst more than 200 escaped and
were permitted to propagate the disease
If every dog which is in the least sus.
pected of madness were at once killed,
and bitten persons had the courage to
burn their wounds Immediately, the prev
alent disease would be greatly diminished

Sweet Potatoes without Ridges.

A writer in the South Land, published
at New Orleans, gives method of raising
sweet potatoes without the use of hoe.
He says: My plan is to flat-break, with
two horses, early. In April or May lay
off rows four feet with a subsoil- pillow,
which makes nothing more than mole
trace; drop the potato and sink it into this
trace with the foot; then run harrow,
and continue to run often enough to
keep down the grass until the potatoes are
up. When up to a pretty good stand,
throw two burrows with turning plow,
covering them up entirely. Let them re-
main until they commence coming through,
then run subsoil plow in the last fur
rows, and throw two more burrows with
the turning-plow, which will cover them
slightly and cover up the grass, leaving
them in nicely hillsd condition. Before
they commence running. break out the re-
naming balk with turning-plow and
run about three burrows with the subsoil.
When you dig, use the plow.

=" Best ROOms."
BY NELLIE WILLOW.

W
HAVE always wondered what some
people have best rooms for. 1t really
ls a mystery; for they always keep them
closed and dark-no ray of sunlight ever
peeps through the curtains or falls upon
the carpet or pictures. Everything is
cold and still, and a sort of awe-inspiring
atmosphere pervades the entire room.
and you feel involuntariiy like raising
your hat and making a profound bow
when you enter.
a lew times year the apartment is
aired, and two or three times opened for
grand company" But how uncongenial
everything is One feels just like walk
ing on tlp.toe; the children are sure to
talk In whispers, and there is peryading
ieenng that the carpet is too nice to walk
on, the chairs too easy to be enjoyed, the
pictures 100 beautiful to be commented
upon, the books too Handsomely bonnd IN
be looked at and read. So Won sit holt

always think soft carpets are to walk
upon, easy chairs to lounge in, beautiful
pictures to look at and admire, handsome
books to read and talk absut.
HOW love to throw open the "best

evening there have father and brother

NOW, this is what call enjoyment, and

ing the mean of many accounts, man
fifty years of age has slept 5000 days,
worked $500 days, walked 800 days,

meat, 1900 pounds of vegetables, eggs,

The Life Sustaining Organs.

The two organs which minister most directly to
the support OF the body, are the stomach and
liver. In the former the first process Of digestion
takes place, under the action Of that powerful
solvent, the gastric juice. Thence the food, con-
verted into a pulp, passes into the duodenum,
where It is subjected TO the action OF the bile or
gall, flowing from the liver, and Of the fluid gener
ated by the pancreas, sweetbread of the system.
These secretions separate the nutritious portion
from the rest and 1t IL then taken up by the alb
