A Child's Death from HydrOphobia,

While Thomas Phillips, a child aged
two years, was playing on the door step
Of his residence, No. ll5 Spring street,
New York, he was attacked by rabid
Spitz dog, which bit him several times
on the calf of the left leg. Persons who
were witnesses of the occurrence at once
removed the boy to n neighboring drug
store, where the wounds, seven in nuns
Der, were thoroughly cauterized with
nitric acid. DIR. w. J. Savage was sum.
moned by the child's parents. The
physician applied equal portions of car
bolic acid and glycerine. and prescribed
lotion Of the same. The wounds, the
majority of which were slight, soon
began to heal kindly, and after eight
days the boy had apparently entirely re-
covered from the effects Of the dogs
savage attack. On Friday morning
soon after, however, he manifested
hydrophobic symptoms. When his
mother proceeded to give him his usual
morning bath he became terrorstricken
at the sight of the water, screaming
aloud and wildly clutching his mothers
DIR. Savage, who was again
called to attend him ON the following
found the little sufferer some
what fcvcrish, but showing no tendency
to spasms. A sedative was administered,
but with little effect, for, few hours
after, the child was seized with con-
accompanied by frothing from
the mouth and an aversion for liquids of
any kind. Even a draft of cool air
caused him to cry out with terror. These
symptoms were continuous throughout
night and Sunday morning.
His death, which ensued at three p. NJ.
on Sunday, was, however, comparatively
painless, the little patient having about
nm hour previous sank into condition
of exhaustion.

Extraordinary Gambling.

The "gentle Hindoo" and "mild
Mohammedan have, it seems, invented
between them n perfectly novel sort of
gambling. In one quarter of the inter-
esting city of Ajmer there is house &C.
cupied by some soothsayers who are
credited by the public with the faculty
of foreseeing changes of weather. They
are represented to be remarkably accur-
ate in their predictions, owing to long
practice in their profession. Outside
the residence of these worthy seers a
crowd of natives assemblies every day for
the purpose of betting Oh the chance of q
down-polr. After the "straight tip"
has been purchased from one of the
prophets, the buyer commences below
ing that he will take or lay certain odds
about the fall of rain within given time.
The ordinary quotations are sixteen to
one against heavy rain coming down
within twenty-four hours, eight to one
against light shower happening, and
longer odds in both cases rs the time is
reduced. When the weather happens to
beexceptionally variable, the whole street
becomes blocked by an excited throng of
gamblers, and the prophets do a smart
business in "straight tips" 1t appears
that the seers themselves very often join
in the amusement and back their respec-
tive opinions with the greatest pluck.
AS the hour approaches for the majority
of the bets to be decided, the more ner-
vous gamblers are heard Offering their
chances of winning at heavy discount.
This allows the weather prophets an OPP
portunity of hedging" at considerable
advantage: and it frequently happens
that the book of an old seer will show
certainty of gain, whether rain falls or
not.

Art of Swimming.

Men are drowned by raising their
arms above water, the unbuoyed weight
of which depresses the head. Other
animals have neither motion nor ability
to act in similar manner, and therefore
swim naturally. When q man falls into
deep water, he will rise to the surface,
and will continue there if he does not
elevate his hands. If he moves his hands
under the water in any way he pleases,
his head will rise so high as to allow him
free liberty to breathe, and if he will use
his legs in the act of walking (or rather
of walking up stairs), his shoulders will
rise above the water, SO that he may use
less exertion with his hands, or apply
them to other purposes. These plain
directions are recommended to the recol-
lection of those who have not learned
to swim in their youth, as they may be
found highly advantageous in preserving
life.

A Tragic Test,

singular murder case awaiting trial
in India has given rise to much legal
discussion rs to whether the circum-
stances justify the charge. A juggler,
who alleged that he possessed some
power which rendered him "bullet-
proof" invited the prisoner in the case
to aim at him with a loaded musket, as
surfing him that he might do SO without
the slightest fear of producing any pain
full results. The prisoner accepted the
kind invitation, and with loaded musket
presented to him by the iuggler, imme-
diately sent bullet through his head.
1t is urged that, as there was no inten-
ton on the part of the prisoner to kill
the deceased, the charge of murder can
not be maintained. The juggler was
thoroughly confident of his own invul-
nerability, and several of his relations
who we're to be called as witnesses for
the defense were prepared to prove
that, although several times shot at be-
fore, he was never hurt. A similar case
occurred in England few years ago A
wizard at one of the theaters begged one
of the audience as favor to fire gun
at him. The spectator, thus invited,
loaded the gun with q charge of shot he
had brought with him for the express
purpose of testing crucially the alleged
invulnerabilitv of the wizard. The re-
suit was painful in the extreme-the
wizards face was peppered with shot,
and the spectator who fired the gun was
given in the custody of the police Both
narrowly escaped death-one by the gun
and the other by the gallows.

Look Ont for Paint.

A Danbury hat dealer had dog cut
from wood to use as a sign in front of
his store. He had it painted pure
white and set it out in front, after the
color had dried. A day or two after he
was surprised to see people come along,
stop by the dog. touch it with their
fingers, then look at their fingers, then
repeat the motion, and finally pass on.
BE was SO busy attending to customers
when this sight met him that he
could not leave to learn the cause, and
to warn the meddlers to leave the sign
alone, as they were marring it with their
hands. When he did get out there he
found the beautiful white dog covered
with finger marks, and discovered the
cause of the public's action. Some one
who is careful student of human ma
ture, as well as given to mischief, had
attached card to the dog bearing the
warning: "Look out for paint, ~ an-

The Cincinnati Commercial has re.
Gently published series of articles
pointing out the evil effects of ice water,
and condemning its use in the strongest
terms. In one of its articles it says:
A man, who in state of perspiration,
with the sweat oozing from every pore
in his skin, should suddenly strip off his
clothing and shut himself up in a refrig-
orator would be set down in public esti-
nation as natural fool, who defed
Providence itself to save him from death.
Such thing actually happened in this
city few years ago, and the man was
taken out of his icebox dead as herring
and stiff rs pikestaff.
Ice water arrests digestion, if it does
not absolutely drive out all animal heat,
and it is not resumed till the water is
raised to the temperature required to
carry it on.
Habitual ice water drinkers are usual
ly very habby about the region of the
stomach. They complain that their
food lies heavy on that patient organ.
They taste their dinner for hours after
it is bolted. They cultivate the use of
stimulants to aid digestion. If they are
intelligent they read up Oh food and
what the psychologists have to say about
it-how long it takes cabbage pnd pork
and beef and potatoes and other meats
and esculents to go through the process
of assimilation. They roar at new bread
and hot cakes and fried meat, imagining
these to have been the cause of their
maladies.
The article proceeds to show that in
numberless cases fine teeth are totally
destroyed by the use of ice water. 1t
chills the teeth and cracks the enamel,
then follows rapid decay and frequent
visits to the office of the dentist.
In conclusion the article says: These
remarks seem to be necessary, because
ice is abundant and cheap this year, and
the water drinkers are increasing in
numbers, thr ough the missionary efforts
OF the disciples of Francis Murphy.
There is no objection, certainly, to the
exclusive use of water, if taken as the
Creator intended it should be. 1t is the
excessive use of water, reduced below its
average temperature with ice that is to
be condemned. 1t is an abuse of the
stomach to use it, as it is an abuse of the
stomach to put into it fluids that inAame
its coatings and finally eat them away.

The Canary a Sensible Bird.

As general rule, you cannot give q
bird too much fresh dir. Even in the
winter time, although it is never safe or
expedient to hang the cage in the win
dow, it is advisable to throw open the
window once or twice day and let in
the air. Canaries are tender creatures,
but they will stand low temperature
as low as fifty degrees-providing they
be out of the reach of draughts. A tenn
perature not lower than sixty degrees is
perhaps more desirable, and this should
be maintained day and night if possible.
More birds sickcn and die from diseases
contracted by exposure to night chilli
ness than from any other known causes.
Again, the air of the room should not be
overheated or suffused with gas. II of
a morning you should chance to observe
the same tinge gathering on the wings
of your canary that is constantly notice.
able on silver plate in winter, the
chances are that coal-gas has much to do
with it. On the other hand, the odor of
tobacco smoke, instead of injuring,
seems to have the tendency to improve
the brightness of the plumage, and at
the same time to put more vigor into the
canarys song. Were 1 writing without
some experience, should unhestatingly
say, never subject your birds at all to
tobacco smoke. But facts appear to
controvert any counsel OF the order; for
my own birds, whenever tobacco is
lighted, will, if the Gagged doors are open.
Immediately fly toward the smoker, and
vie with each other in getting into the
densest cloud. Having shifted the
aroma. they will light upon the shoulder
or the back Of the chair, and pour forth
the sweetest harmonies of the day. Per-
nit me to suggest, then, plenty of fresh
air, and even moderate temperature and
occasionally tobacco smoke. Be sure,
however, that during and after smoking
current of fresh air is allowed to pass
through and to ventilate the ROOM

The Toughest Fish Story on Record.

The Toughest Fish Story on Record.
The most wonderful lie we have read

St. Louis Globo-DemOcrat by corre-

On my return to st. Louis from
Quincy, ILL.,, where ! had been attend
ing to some business, hasten to inform
you Of peculiar natural curiosity that
is now in Quincy, ILL.,, and will shortly
be exhibited IN this city.
On the morning of the thirteenth
inst, party of five gentlemen started
out on fishing excursion from Quincy
up the river to a bridge that crosses the
Mississippi about one mile north of that
city. One of the party, on his first cast,
brought to the surface a peculiar fish,
which will endeavor to describe, and
which must attract the attention of natu-
ralists in this and every other country.
1t weighs eighty.two pounds; has a
well developed human head has n good
head of straight, black hair, and its gen.
eral features would indicate considera-
BILE amount of Intelligence. After great
difficulty we succeeded in landing it in
the boat, without injury, and brought it
to the Missouri House, on Main street,
where it was seen by great number of
citizens, who can vouch for the truth of
my statement. But one of the most
wonderful things of all, Portuguese
gentleman happening to be passing at
the time and heard it uttering some
sounds which attracted his attention,
and he was completely astonished when
he found the fish was able to converse in
the vernacular of his childhood, and by
his Interpretation he was enabled to
learn something of its family history and
genealogy, which has been handed down
to him by tradition. Some 500 years
ago Portuguese sailor, who had been
brought up in the business of coral and
pearl fishing, got overheard in storm
on the Pacific, made the acquaintance of
a mermaid he met in the Atlantic and
established colony on a coral reef on
the coast of Florida, and this strange
creature traces his origin back to that
extraordinary union.

angrily disputed by Ross and Holt, and
they have gone to law about it. The
