A CUBE FOR HYDRopHoBIA.

The SaiHt Public of Lyons Gays DR.. Buisson
claims to have discovered q remedy for this ter
rible disease, and to have applied it with COM
plete success IN many cases. In attending . 10
male patient in the last stage of canine madness,
the Doctor imprudently wiped his hands With
handkerchief impregnated with her taliya. mere
happened to be slight abrasion on the INDEX
finger of the left hand. and, confident M his own
curative system, the Doctor merely washed the
part with water. He was fully aware, however,
of the imprudence be had committed, aud gives
the following account of the matter afterwaru:
believing that the malady would not declare
itself until the fortieth day, and having varicus
patients to visit,H put of from day to day the
application of my remedy-that is TO say Napor
baths. The ninth day, being in my cabinet,
felt all at once pain in my eyes. My BODY ieit

course was preservative, not curative, took a
vapOr bath, not with the intention of cure, but
of suffoeating myself. When the hath was at

vapOr bath may be quickly made by putting
three or four red hot bricks in bucket or tub
of water, and let the patient sit over it on a cane

blanket, for fifteen or twenty minutes. When
the disease is declared, it only requires vapor

Effect Of Beef Tea.

In an article in of the popular London
journals, DIR. Kimmerich ascribs the effect of
beef tea not to its aromatic and combustible in
gradients, hut to the potash salts which it con-
tains, and concerning which it is well known
that if given in larger doses an injurious effect
is exercised on the organism; nevertheless, pot
ash salts are an element of all articles of
food, forming not only the chief ingredients of
the salts of every sort of flesh, including that of
fish, but likewise of all other food. In medical
practice, says DIR. Himmerich, ether, camphOr
and musks eminently invigorating and re-
freshing remedies, and compared TO these beef
tea occupies, of course, a subordinate posi-
ton; if, however, it be necessary to preserve an
exhausted body from protracted illness, then
there is no other remedy in the whole rick store
house of medicine which can afford such assis-
tance for regeneratng the diseased organism, as
repeated doses of beef tea.

On Grunting.

The following story told by John Smith 1--WE
will suppose bis name to be Smith) and his son
Virgil rs said to be a "true bilf':
Smith had very promising yOnng horse, in train
ing for the track. The other day Virgil bright lit
tie chap, some 10 years of age, was speeding the
colt around the track, aud was making the run
in gallant style, when the colt suddenly SHE'D
and threw the boy of. The cause of this was
young porker that had slowed himself in the
brush close to the track, quiet spectator of the
colts performance, until the latter got almost
opposite to him, when, hog-like, he made vio-
lent rush, with the result mentioned. BY the
time his anxious father reached the ground the
boy was OH his feet unhurt. Said the father:
"Virgil, you don't know how TO ride a colt, TO
let little pig like that throw yon off, | don
want the colt spoiled; | want him tn go round
the track, and Ill show you that pig can't pre-
vent him."
an bet yon," said Virgil, "he'll throw you,
too, if zig makes him jump like he did with
me.D
"No, he won't, Virgil; yon can get in the brush
there, and when ride him around you can gruut
like pig. III show yOu how it is dore," said
the elder Smith.
Accordingly the colt was caught and mounted
by Smith the elder, the boy in the meantime hav-
ing taken his position in the brush to play the rolt
of pig, in which he succeeded to perfection, for
when the sire, after a rafting run, had reached
the proper place, he started like young grizzly
and, tearing out of the brush, caused the panic
struck colt to pitch his rider iDgoriously in the
dirt. Gathering himself mp, he said, savagely

VeaeInhIe Rnemies,

Todestroy bugs on squash and cucumber, vines,
dissolve tablespoonful of saltpeter in pail
full of water, put one pint of this around each
hill, shaping the earth that it will not spread
much, and the thing is done. Use more saltpe-
ter if you can afford it; it is good for vegeta-
bles, but death to animal life. The bngs burrow
in the earth at night and fail to rise in the NOR
ming. 1t is also good to kill the grub" iT peach
trees-only use twice much, say quart or
two to each tree. There was not yellow or
blistered leaf on twelve fifteen trees to which
it was applied last season. No danger of killing
any vegetable with it; concentrated solution
annlied TO beans makes them grow wonderfully.
