Symptoms and Treatment of HydrOphObia

A recent writer of large experience with this disease states that in nine cases out of ten it results from the bite of a rabid animal, but sometimes, though rarely, cases arise for which no cause has yet been assigned. The notion that one season is moro conducive to the disease than another is pronounced erroneous, as, according to the observation of this writer, mad dogs are quite as frequent in winter as in summer There is little danger of dog that is we'll taken care of and regularly fed going mad, unless from bite, yet such instances do some times occur. The symptoms are very distinct and easily observed. The first is that the dog refuses natural food as long as dog will eat bit of good meat there is no danger of hydrophobia. The second is that he will eat any rubbish he can get, shavings, bits of string, etc., able sign. Thirdly, the bark assumes @ peculiar hoarse tone that once heard Is not easily mistaken. The bite of mad dog is by no means always fatal, and is much less so in the human subject than in any other animal. Of four cases of persons bitten by dogs undoubtedly mad, all escaped without any bad consequences whatever. J. Hunter says, of twenty one persons bitten only one was attack ed by the disease. Other authors put the proportion at about one in twenty five. In case that occurred near Senlis, in France, where by order of the Gov ernment the most accurate inquiries were made, out of fifteen persons bitten five had hydrophobia.
 The treatment recommended is to have the place cut out and well burnt, either with hot iron or sharp stick of lunar caustic, the latter is thought to be the best. Yo1latt gives case where four dogs were bitten by the same rabid one, three of whom were deeply burnt with a hot iron and one with lunar caustic. The three died of hydrophobia, and the one treated with caustic was never af- fected by the bite. That the spasmodic symptoms have anything of tetanic character about them is denied. They are quite distinct, and are almost always accompanied by great desire to bite, of which the poor sufferer is quite con- scious, and will frequently warn his friends when he feels the approach of the attack.

A HNr.-If youth is wooingly dis posed towards any damsel, as he Values his happiness, let him call on that lady when she least expects him, and take her control. Observe if the shoes fit neatly, and the hair is well dressed. And we would forgive man for breaking off an engagement, if he discovered a greasy novel hid away under the cushion of a sofa, or hole in the garniture of the prettiest foot in the world. Slovenliness in woman will ever be avoided by a we'll regulated mind. A woman cannot always be what is called dressed;" but she may be always neat. And as certain ly as virtuous woman is crown of glory to her husband, so surely is a slovenly one crown of thorns.

A Valentine.

Maiden bonny, blithe, and airy, Joy be thine in February,
 Evermore be thine How, for thee, the years went by In a silvery flight, while Sat alone, and ever spied Of their wings, the dusky side Drearily they came and went, Gardening my discontent
 Till thou made'st them shine. Till thou made'st them shine, my Bessie Maiden winsome, sweet, and-dressy
 Made them shine with theel All the sun is in thy curls, Lilies greet thee, queen of girlsl Heavens blue is in thy glance, All the summer in thy dance, All earth's sweetness in thy breath; Shadows come alone with death.
 Bessie, live for me! Live for me, my heart of lightness, Filling all my soul with brightness!
 Let me live for theel Every month of every year, Every day, beyond and here, Every hour of every day, All the time, and all the way, am thine, and thou art mine, What can part us, Valentine!

A FR1aHTFUn DrsAsTER. passenger

A FR1aHTFU1 DISASTER. "A passenger train going to St. Lotus on the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railroad, when about three-quarters of a mile below upper Alton station, came in col lision with freight train going north.
 The baggage car and first coach were telescoped, and then almost instantly took fire. The scene that ensued was most appalling. The unfortunate passen- gers were, most of them, caught between the car seats, and egress from the car was nearly impossible. The flames enveloped the doomed cars almost in- stantly, and the terrified passengers were left to be slowly roasted alive. The charred and blackened remains of four victims of this fearful accident were re- covered, and some thirteen more were seriously injured. ..-- -.....s

Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY CARTRIDGES FIRED TO EACH MAN STRUCK. El5er- field Gazette publishes some curious statis- tics of the comparative deadliness of the different weapons used in the Franco German war. Of 3453 Germans wound ed before Metz, no fewer than 95.5 per cent. were struck by Chassepot balls j; 2.7 per cent. were wounded by projectiles from heavy guns, and there were only O.9 per cent. of wounds from cold steel. As to the French wounded, it is calcu- lated that as high proportion as 25 per cent. were wounded by artillery proiec- tiles, and about 70 per cent. by the fire of the zundnadelgewehr. No fewer than 1000 Frenchmen In all wore struck by the projectiles of the German artillery The total number of cartridges fired by the Germans in the late war is said to have been 25,000, ,000 or about thirty per man. The war having lasted-for fight ing purposes-justsix months, this gives only an average of five cartridges per man per month for the whole army. Taking the total number of French kill ed and wounded at 100000, this would give an average of 250 cartradges fired to each man struck.

FIRE-PRooF BUILDINGS secret of fre-proof building is just this It must be made impossible for the flames to pass through the floors or up the stair. way. If you will have wooden floors and stairs, lay flooring of the thinest sheet iron over the joists, and your wood upon that and sheath the stairs with the same material. A floor will not burn without supply of air underneath it Throw dry board upon perfectly fat pavement and kindle it as it lies, if you can. You may make fire upon it and ir time consume it, but it will require long time. Prevent drafts, and thougl there will still be fires no house will be consumed. The combustion will go on SC slowly that discovery is certain in time to prevent any great calamity.

BlASoul. From the Boston Post
There are men who, early in life, take strange
freaks, and seem throughout their career to
h,ll what at frstSeemed to be their destiny
They take delight in perils and dangerous &C
ton. defy the law and its strong arm to the
worst. and not content with one or two escapes
straightway coutrive how they shall get in dur
ance vile again. OF this sort is evidently the
white headed, wriukled lantern, iawed, caver-
nous-eyed man OF siXty-seven, who has Just
been tried at Versailles for his agency in the
Communist revolt and sentenced therefore to
perpetual imprisonment. Banqu was the
SC on Of an excellent family in the south OF
France lie was not only literally educated
but was early noted for his attalnments as a
classic scholar he was recognized as young
man of marked talents aud his family were,
one and all, Leeitimists, devoted to the Bour,
bon rule, and loyal subjects OF Louis XVI and
Charles Y. They looked forward to the time
when the young man would take an active part
in national affairs as champion of the divine
IL Amounted King" BlanQui spent the first
wear of his manhood as tutor in some OF the
noble families of Provence he read Horace
aud the Latin classics with enthusiasm ne
seemed ouiet, studouS, model Of moderation
aud sobriety. All at once, however, he broke
forth into a bitter, violent, and radical revolu-
zionist, and from that day-torty years or mole
ago-he has been the most lrcconcate and
restless spirit in France.
\ large portion of his life has been spent IN
prison for he tried to lnaugurate revolution
in 1899, and on failing was condemned and all
but put to death he rebelled against the lie,
public which he had helped to found. and
that exiled him :; he plotted industriousy
against Napoleon Ill., and it has been said
that he was in a conspiracy to assassinate that
sovereign he rebelled against the Provisional
Government of September, 1870, and nearly
overthrow it; once more, he was the fiery old
Nestor of the Communist rising of March 1871 ;,
and now pays what will probably be the last Of
his many penalties within the walls OF a French
prison. Compared with Blanqui, Jules Fayre
is an absoutist, Louis Blanc and Ledru Rolliu,
old fogies, Gambctta and Rochetort tories far
behind their age The republic, social and
tiaternal has been his perpetual cry but 1t Is
doubtful whether so fiery and impetuous a
spirit would be appeased if his widest dream
we're crystalized into French constitution.
