The Cry of " mad DOgv

1t is wonderful how quickly a crowd
will disperse if the announcement Is made
that mad dog is at large. In Washing
ton the other day, Il canine was observed
to be going through some very eccentric
movements. May be some flea perched
upon nOtgetatable portion of his body
was the cause, but be that as it may, some
unusually bright person jumped at the
conclusion that hydrOphObia allied him,
and gave the warming cry, Look out for
the mad dog" The dog heard the cry,
and as he had never seen a real mad dog,
concluded to investigate the case, and
trotted OfftOward group of lOaters. who
were summing themselves in front OF sa-
loon. But when he gOt there the railing
was bare. Those useful members OF so
ciety had not walked away, neither had
they run, they had simply vanished; !;
some into the saloon and others over the
railing into the cellar This put an idea
into the dogs head; he concluded to have
some fun. Pausing for mOment On the
corner of the avenue, he allowed several
yelps to escape and then charged down
the sidewalk. Fast as he went, the cry
Look out for the mad dog" Travelled
faster. Men, women and children rushed
into the stores or took shelter in door
wards one OF IIle gudIu6luS VI tllC OilS :
peace climed a fence to get better view
of the disturbance, and while on his perch
fired off all the charges of his revolver, TO
the great detriment of the windows in the
upper story of the house on the opposite
SIDE of the road. The noise of the firing
attracted the attention of fat old gentle
man who was taking a stroll, and as he
turned the warning sound, Look out for
the mad dog ~ fell on his ear. and the
next moment he caught sight of the dog
making rapid progress toward him. Run
he could nOt-he was too fat; and his only
salvation seemed 20 be to climb the lamp
post. This ne made a dash for, and the
climbing began. Desperately he clutched
the post, and heroically he struggled %
rech the top. His linen trowsers slipped
up over his knees, and his denuded legs;
coming in contact with the sun-heated
/ iron, drew out blisters and profanity
Long before this the dog had passed down
the avenue and out of sight, and the hue
and cry that followed in his wake found
the aged man frantically grabbing the
lamp-post, his toes within few inches ol
the ground.-Antsr-Ocedn.

The Widows Protest.

One of the sadest things that ever came
under my notice (said the bankers clerk
was there in Corning during the war.
Dan Murphy enlisted as private, and
fought very bravely. The boys all liked
him: and when a wound, by and by,
weakened him down till carrying mus
ket was too heavy work for him, they
dubbed together and fixed him up as a
sutler. He made money then, and sent 1t
always to his wife to bank for him. She
was washer and an irOner, and knew
enough by hard experience to keep money
when she got it. She didn't waste pen
nv. On the contrary, she began to get
miserly as her bank account grew. She
grieved to part with cent, poor creature.
for twice in her hard working life she had
known what it was to be hungry, cold,
friendless, sick, and without dollar in
the world, and she had a haunting dread
of suffering so again. Well, at last Dan
died and the boys, in testimony of Their
esteem and respect for him, telegraphed to
Mrs. Murphy to know if she would like to
have him enbalmed and sent home; when
Won know the usual custom was to dump
a poor devil like him into a shallow hole,
and then inform his friends what had be-
come ofhim. Mrs. Murphy jumped TO the
conclusion that it would only cost two Oh
three dollars to embalm her dead hus.
band, and so she telegrabhed ''Ges. Ii
was at the 'swake" that the bill for embalm-
ing arrived, and was presented to the
widow.
She uttered a wild, sad wall. that
pierced every heart. and said: ''Sivinty
foive dollars for stuffin' Dan, blister theil
sowlsl Did thin divils suppose L was
ooin' to start a museim, that I'd be dalin
in such expansive curiassities ?"
The bankers clerk said there was not
dry eve in the house.-Mdrk TDdin.

hope that medical science can find any al

hope that medical science can find any al
deviation for these sufferers?
Doctor Lorette-Yes; there is in the eX.
perience of Mr.. Buffers case just the
gleam of hope. Driven to desperation by
witnessing his aganies on Tuesday even
ing about s O'Clock, placed blister on
his breast, which took effect at once, and
removed about two square inches of the
skin. On this denuded surface L busted
ten grains of the sulphate of morphine.
This had not been done ten minutes before
he showed signs of opium delirium, and
said to his wife, "Oh, | am in heayen!"
He described the beauty of the foliage
there, and was evidently out of pain, and
in a temporary condition of happiness.
We repeated this three times, applying
forty grains in all, and in the end, though
dea h could not longer be postponed, it
was freed from those fearful exhibitions of
pain which had before characterized the
progress of the disease. | hope that this
suggestion of the extreme struggle in my
mind to relieve my friend may. if applied
in the carrier stages, lead TO some means OF
breaking the heretofore certain fatality OF
hyarophObia.
Reporter-What is the cause of death in
this disease?
D0cJOf lIOreCCe-Ex ITOn SuliO-
cation. That the disease is not a creature
of the Imagination is apparent from its
deadly end. But when you have seen
cases stated as being cured they have SIM
ply not been hydrophObia. If drop of
water can be introduced by the throat into
the stomach there is no hydrophobia. The
water TEST is, so far as my knowledge goes,
an unfai!ing one. The closing of the
throat is from nervous action, no doubt,
but during the parOxysms it is just as real
and as effective as though the Oritice was
spalpd nm

A "Lightning Newspaper Train"

The ''newspaper train between New
York and Philadelphia will, sooner or
later. furnish materials for first-class hor-
rOr. Every morning it leaves New York
and runs at higher rate of speed than
has hitherto been attained on this conti-
nent. One morning recently it left Jer-
sev City half an hour late and caught up
before reaching Trenton, making fifty
seven miles in fifty-nine minutes. This,
however. was not its fastest time. Near
New Brunswick five miles of the road
were run in three and half minutes, or at
the rate of eighty-siX miles an hour. This
train was placed on the rold for the pur-
pose of carrying the New York morning
papers to Philadelphia. so that they could
be distributed as early as the Philadelphia
journals. The engineer and Others EN-
ploved on the train have signed paper
declaring that they will not hold the road
responsible for damages in case of an acci-
dent. Not content with simply carrying
the mails, a passenger coach has been al
tached. making it n regular passenger
train. In England the rate of a mile per
minute is not considered excessive, but
there the roads are constructed with a
special reference to fast running, and the
road beds have solidity and tirmness un-
euualed on this side of the Atlantic.

The HerOiSm of Common Life.

Did itever strike the reader how much
heroism is required to make the work of
the world 90 on in spite of heat, H. spite
of cold, in despite of wind, rain, sickness,
disinclination. and all the obstacles which
exist and continually arise to the prOsecu-
tion of any plan, the fulfillment of any ell
deavOr?'
Had we, any of us, nothing to do but
consult our own desires, attend to our own
wishes, we should find that enough. We
should accept the fate which cast us in
world where every want was supplied
with becoming fortitude, and consider that
we had plenty to do in providing for our
personal comfort, escaping annOyances,
and nursing our tinger-acheS and head
aches.
But. instead of this easy state of things,
we are turned into a world where every
thing has to be wrested by persistent ef-
fort and the force of will from circum-
stances arrayed against it; where every
one is arrayed in pitched battle with fate
and the combined forces for whatever of
good can be GOT out of life, and for life it
self. All the old stories of the dragons
that guarded the treasures of the earth re-
cur to the mind and acquire new signiti-
canoe in the light of the modern conflict
of intelligence with natural phenomena.
The vast machinery of our social life is
new Juggernaut which rolls over and
mows down indiscriminately whatever is
not able to bear the pressure, whether it
be feelings, affections, or men and women.
The necessities of the case fortunately take
us out of ourselves we have no time to
discuss, or hardly TO discover, our indi-
vidual aches and pains, our wants and
wishes. We move as part OF system.
We wake up in the morning with the
whole current of will and being set in the
! direction of certain line of duty or the
accomplishment of particular object,
| and we allow no minor fact to interfere
with it. Cold or heat are diSregarded,
| bodily pains forgotten or resolutely set
aside, and by and by we find we can control
our own forces as certainly as we can con-
| troll the forces of nature. and almost make
ourselves well. as some few, by perpetu-
ally nursing their ailments, make them
! selves i'll.
/ This herOism, which rears and feeds and
| clothes and shelters us: which builds our
railroads and bridges and grand public ed
! ifices which adaptS to our use the pro-
ductOus of nature and delights us with
the beautiful and permanent in works OF

Wine in California.

Some Californians are predicting that
their State will, before the end of this CEN
tury, derive a larger annual income from
the expectation of wine than of wheat.
The San Francisco Alta says: "Our State
has 30,000,0 900 vines, covering $4,000 acres,
worth S4.500, 900, and yet not one acre IN
two hundred of the land suitable for vine
yards has been planted. From Mendocino
TO San Diego, the mountains of the Coast
Range, and from Shasta to Bakersfield, the
Sierra abound with situations better for
wine than most of those now planted, but
neglected because the planting or cultiva-
ton would be more expensive than in the
clear and level valleys. Much of this land
has little value for any other purpose it is
not strong enough for pasture or wheat
it is too dry for the orange; it is too grav-
ely for many varieties of fruit; and other
varieties, including the olive, are too slow
in coming into bearing for the means of
the farmer. The grape, therefore, is the
best reliance for its profit. The total area
of California is 100,000,000 acres, and of
that amount One-tenth is more va liable for
vineyards than for any other purpose.
These 100000 acres are now yielding
not more than twenty-five cents per acre
annually, and, therefore no. worth mt Re,
practically, than $3.50 per acre. though
much of the grape land is vainly seeking
purchasers at SIPS. But under judiciOus
legislation and good management it can
be made worth 500 per acre, or twice as
much as the present assessed value of all
the taxable property of the State. The
question arises whether we shall adopt a
policy that will keep these lands worth
S25, 900, 900, as they now are, or the other
one that will, at no distant period, raise
them to a value of 81 ,000,0 900. The
vineyards of Gaul increased very slowly
for five centuries after the first plantations
were made there by the Romans; but tnow
100000 French people derive tEeir sup
port from the wine industry of the cOun-
try, and the time may come when 1900,
600 of persons will be maintained by the
