The Incubation Period of II ydrophObia.

THE incubatory period in hydrophobia,
says the GalaGy or the space of time
during which the virus may remain latent
in the system after bite by rabid
animal, is seldom less than eight days,
and but rarely exceeds two or three
months The large majority of cases,
says Reynolds, have occurred within four
and eight weeks. Many authentic cases
have occurred N which the period of in
cubation extended to eight or nine
months, and a few where it appeared to
be much longer. A remarkable case has
been placed on record, says the same
author, in which man who had been in
prison for period of more than two
years became affected with hydrophobia
although he had only been bitten by a
mad dog seven years previously. The
following case, however which we find
in a newspaper, seems to show that the
period of incubation in this disease may
be protracted indefinitely Twenty years
ago daughter of Peter Hawk, Esq of
Stroudsburg, Pa, was bitten by a mad
dog Although cattle bitten by the same
dog were seized with hydrophobia, the
girl did not show symptoms of disease.
She grew to womanhood, and was mar
titu. I.eCently, rs she was r.lSlng glass
OF water to her lips, a shudder ran through
her and in few minutes she was seized
with hydrophobia in its worst form A
number of physicians were called, but
they could do nothing for her She died
in great agony. Another recent case of
protracted incubation we find related as
follows in theIVorid of May IA; Eighteen
years ago Daniel c, Weidner, of Farming
dale, n. j., then only six years old, was
bitten in the left arm by rabid dog He
suffered great deal of pain at the time
but it gradually passed away, and was
almost forgotten A few days since
while attempting to wash his face, he
was seized with the symptoms Of hydro
phobia. In spite Of all the medical care
that could be given him, his condition
grew worse and worse, and after forty
two hours intense suffering he died.

Bradbury's Mistake.

In Philadelphia there are whole blocks
of houses exactly alike, and sometimes
there is such quantity of them in a
square that a man who lives near the
middle has to begin counting at the cor
ner in order to ascertain which is his
house. Mr.. Bradbury a few nights ago
came home late, and as he was thinking
of something else he forgot to count
When about two doors from home he
ran up the front steps of Mr., Petty's res
idence with conviction that it was his
own. His dead-latch key opened tine
door readily, and Bradbury after crop
ing around in the dark for the hat-rack,
knocked against it and upset it. Mr.
Petty was upstairs Just about to GO to
bed, When he heard the noise he went
to the head 81 the staircase and listened
He discovered that there was a man in
the hall below and he knew at once it
was a burglar SO he went back to his
room and got his revolver. Then he shut
his eyes and fired at random. The noise
walked Mrs, Petty and she began to
scream violently. Then Bradbury felt
certain that there was a band of robbers
upstairs engaged in butchering Mrs.
Bradbury and the children. As he
started to creep softly mp the staircase to
rcconnoitre Petty began to steal quietly
down the staircase to look after the burg
lar he had killed. They met on the first
landing, and although both were terribly
frightened they grappled, for both knew
it would be a struggle to the death After
fighting desperately the combatants
rolled down the stairs to the floor be-
meath, while Mrs. Petty sprang l&Tatlle
for policeman Just as Petty 1Ebt the
upper hand of Bradbury and was mutlat-
ing his nose with his fist, the police burst
the front door open and struck light.
Then an explanation ensucd and Brad
bury went home. You have perhaps seen
prize egg plant at an agricultural fair:
Well, Bradbury's nose resembled that in
size and color and shape, and now he not
only counts from the corner when he
comes home, but lie has the front of his
house painted white, with "A locomotive
headlight over the front door.-Nar

ceeded in securing an uninjured captive,
which, to my ineXpressible delight,
proved to be one of the ruby -throated
species, the most splendid and diminu-
tive that comes north of Florida 1t i'm
mediately suggested itself to me that 3
mixture of two parts of oaf-sugar with
one of fine honey in ten of water, would
make about the nearest approach to the
nectar of flowers. While my sister ran
to prepare it | gradually opened my
hand to look at my prisoner, and saw, to
my no little amusement AS well as sus
picion, that it was actually playing pos
sum'-feigning to be dead most skilfully.
1t lay on my open palm motionless Tor
some minutes, during which ! watched 1t
in breathless curiosity. ! saw ii gradual
ly open its bright little eyes to peep
whether the way was clear and then
close them slowly as it caught my eye
upon it. But when The manufactured
nectar came and drop was touched
upon the point of its bill, it came to life
very suddenly, and in moment was on
its legs drinking with eager gusto of the
refreshing draught from silver tea
spoon. When stated it refused to take
any more, and sat perched with the cool
est self-composure on my finger, and
plumed itself quite as artistically as if
on its favorite spray. ! was enchanted
with the bold, innocent confidence with
which it turned up its keen black eyes to
survey us, as IluCh as to say, We'll, good
folks, who are you? BY the next day it
would come from any part of either
room, alight upon the side of white
china cup containing the mixture, and
drink eagerly, with its long bill thrust
into the very base. 1t would alight on
my fingers and seem to talk with us en-
dearingly in soft chirps." The writer af-
terward succeeded in tanning several Of
the same species. He gave them their
liberty occasionally and they returned
regularly. At the time for migration
they left for the winter, but the next
spring they sought their old quarters and
accepted the delicious nectar kindly pro-
vided for them, and by degrees brought
their mates"

nish only lbs of solid. nutritious sub
stance in 100 lbs; carrots, IA lbs; and
what is very remarkable, as being in OPP
position to the acknowledged theory, 100
lbs of potatoes only yield IS lbs of sub
stance valuable as nutritious. According
to this estimate, l Id of good bread is
equal to y or lbs of best potatoes; and
IS lbs of bread and 30 lbs of butcher
meat are equal to 800 lbs of potatoes
Or, again, ID of rice or of broad beans
is equal to 3 lbs of potatoes; while | ID

is considered perfectly correct and may
be useful to families, where the best mode

Quire different treatment from either of
those already mentioned, the evergreens
of various kinds. The seeds may be
kept dry in bags or boxes through winter,
and will grow quite freely when sown in
warm, moist soil; but shade to the young
seedlings is desderatum that cannot be
dispensed with in our climate. This
may be supplied in almost any manner
to suit the convenience of the grower,
but it must neither be too dense nor too
thin, but just sufficient to prevent the
direct rays of the sun reaching the plants
without entirely excluding the light.
These conditions must be maintained
during the greater part of the first sea-

greens may be grown as readily from

attention We are certain that if our
