Care for Hydrophobia.

ava ~ ~s~F>V~AsS
A Pennsylvania doctor gives what he
calls an infallible remedy for hydropho
bia- He says:
" A dose for horse or COW should
be about four times AZ great a. for q
person. It is not too late to give the
medicine any time before the spasms
come on. The first dose for person is
II OF: OF elecampane root, bruised, put
in . pint of raw milk, reduced to one
half by boiling, then taken all at one
dose in the morning, fasting until after
noon, or at least very light dict after
several hours have elapsed. The second
dose the same as the first, except take
two'ounces of the root; third dose the
same as the last, to be taken every other
day. Three doses are all that are need
ed, anil there need be no fear.
This know from my own experience
and know of 4 number of other cases
where 1t has been entirely successful.
This is NO guess work. These persons
that alhde to were bitten by their
own rabid dogs, that had been bitten
by rabid dogs, and were penned up to
see If they would go mad; they did
go mad, and did bite the persous. This
remedy has been used in and about
Philadelphia for forty years or longer
with great success, ard 10 known rs the
Goodman remedy. I am acquainted
with physician who told me that he
knows of its use for more than thirty
years, but never knew case that failed
where it was properly administered.
among other cases he mentioned was
one where number of COWS had been
bitten by a mad dog; to half the num-
Der they administered this remedy, to
the other half not; the latter ell died
with hydrophobla, while those that
took the elecampane and milk showed
no signs of the disease"

Henry Kohlmer, . young German. It
was badly decOmposed, and had evi-

It had been thrown into o rivulet.
There were three bullet holes in his
body Into the thicket, through the
swamp grass and underbrush, was a
trail, as though made by dragging the
body. Twenty yards distant was nm
open space which had evidently been
the scene of q terrible hand-to.hapd
struggle. The grass and ferns were
trodden to the earth, and twie,
and bushes were broken and torn nm
by the roots. Here Kohlmer's hat and
. piece OF the assassin's shirt were
found. Kohlmer came to this country
from Germany about eight years ago.

Boston Cash Girls.

Notwithstanding the boast of the
Hub in regard to the superior educa-
tional advantages afforded in that citv
to the youth. it appears that the little
cash girls of Boston, according to The
Bureau OF Statistics of Massachusetts.
have hard time of 1t, and thew
receive small pay for the mental service.
In the large stores in Boston. for in.
stance, those cash or Grand girls
haven't five minutes leisure at a time.
In fancy goods stores they are some
times placed at counter where small,
wares are for sale.
1t is the practice among these shop
keepers to deduct from the pay of these
girls the price of any article which thew
may break, and the result is that when
Saturday night comes the poor things
have hardly any money to carry home
The articles generally arc fragile in
their set up, and are susceptible of
being broken by almost winking at
them. In one particular instance the
mother of one Of the children applied to
the keeper of shop for relief, but he
said it was the custom, although the
child had succeeded in selling the in
2ured articles at full price, the shop
keeper thus defauding the girl and
getting larger amount than he would
have otherwise obtained for the TOW.
These cash girls are paid from 81. 80
10 $2'W per week for running their lit
tie legs almost off in response to tho
frantic cry of cash. In this connection
the Commissioners say they found
large numbers of children EMPLOYED in

From the Hartford Times.
The funeral of Mrs. Mayer, wife of
Dr. lssac Mayer, took place from her
late residence on Tslcott street, q few
days ago, and was very largely attend
ed. The body lay in an upper room. in
a coffin OF black walnut, PLAIN and un-
vanished, clothed in shroud of white
Linen, which was made by the deceased
thirty.six years ago, it being q custom
with the 1sraelites to make and keep
their grave clothes in the house from
the time they arc married. After
short prayer, which was read in He
brew by Rabbi Mayer, the body was
conveyed to the hearse by the four
sons OF the deceased, and carried to
the Hebrew burial ground on Zion's
Hill, followed by = long line of car
riages.
On arriving at the cemetery the coffin
was placed on bier and carried
through the cemetery, the Rev. DIR:
Mayer and Rev. Mr.. Strauss chanting
the psalms and prayers appropriate for
the service. On reaching the grave,
winch had been dug by the SONS of the
dead woman, the lid of the coffin was
raised and the features of the deceased
once more exposed. 4 bag of white
linen was filled with earth by the rela-
tlves, and placed under the head of the
corpse in the place of the pillow, which
was removed. Small packages Of earth
from the Holy Land, which the de-
ceased had kept for this purpose twen-
ty-two years, were placed over the eyes
and over the stilled heart. The wind
ing.sheet was folded around the head,
and the lid replaced.
After the body had been lowered in.
to the grave. straw was placed on the
coffin, and the relatives strewed it with
beautiful white flowers. The afflicted
husband and father made the conclud-
ing prayer, and pronounced q feeling
eulogy on his beloved wife, amid the
tears and sobs of those congregated
around tho grave. This finished, he
took knife and cut the lappels Of his
coat and vest, and also those of his
four sons, and q lady cut the garments
OF the mourning daughter. This is
typical of the ienaing of garments :"
spoken of in tho Bible. and concluded
the services at the grave, which was
gently filed by the sons and relatives
of the deceased, and the mound COW
cred with choice flowers.
Mrs. Mayer was lady of culture and
refinement, and was dearly beloved in
her family, and by many friends.
