The Canine Madness.
[From the Chicago Times. I

like dog, and frothing at the
mouth like a tired and chased
down deer, startled the usually
quiet and unromantic section Of
the city located at Orchard
street, between Sophia and
Centre streets, Chicago, recent
iy. 1t was at the particular
hour when there was quiet along
the thoroughtare. The laborers
had not returned from their
work, but the homes, humble in
their appearance, were waiting
their approach. Bevies of chill
dren scampered about the dimin-
utive yards, and the whole scene
was one akin to village simpli-
city. Suddenly this bareheaded
thing-a girl with a face that
has been rather prepossessing at
some time-dashod around the
corner, her hair down to her
waist, her eyes glaring as if they
had been forced from their sock
cts, her mouth swapping, and
her tongue, swollen and black
ened, protruding, and startled
the whole vicinity from its al
most Sunday quietade. The
poor creature must have been
blinded, for she staggered against
the palings, struck against the
houses, and seemed to be endeav-
oring to end her existence by
forcing herself against every
thing that came in her pathway.
The sight was one SO strange
and sudden that even the men
who happened to be in the vi.
cinity shrank back like scared
hares and looked upon the un-
fortunate and maddened girl
from behind their window blinds,
willing to stand in her way.
Thus, nnmolested, the snap
ing, maddened, frothing crea-
ture swept down the street until
she was overtaken by officer
Scanlon. He did not dare place
himself in front of her, but eau
tiously slipped up in the rear and
seized her by the arms. The eff
forts of the girl to free herself
or pounce upon her captor, be-
came painful. Her barking con
tinued, almost startling, and she
snapped as ferociously us ever
did an infurlated cur. The Off
Ger, stalwart and courageous as
he was, was unnerved, but he
kept the face from him and
clutched the girl with all tie
strength he possessed. Thus
pressed, she was taken to the
Webster avenue station, quite a
walk for an officer with mad
dened human. All along the
9he whole route the captive kept
up her heartrending bark. At
the station she continued to
rave. One would have thought
that SO young and frail a thing
would by this time have been
weakened down from exhaus-
ton, but she gave no evidence
Of anything of the kind. She
was confined for about an hour
in the station, during which time
efforts were made to ascertain
who she was and whence she
came. The officer learned that
her name was Mary or Augusta
Klein, and that she was Ger
man girl, whose parents live at
No. 90 Sullivan street. But at
what time she was bitten or
where, could not be ascertained.
About week ago mad Spitz
dog was shot by an officer in the
vicinity where she lives, and it
is supposed the same animal
came in contact with her, as it
was reported at the time that
several persons had been bitten
by the dog.
Chicken rearing by machinery
has reached its last and most glo-
rious perioi-it even supplies an
artificial mother hen for the
gulleless chicken to brood under
at night and fly to in moments
of peril during the day. The
hydromere is a French inven-
ton, and strikingly resembles a
real hen in all but one partlcu-
lar: beneath It's downy breast,
instead of warm heart, there
is only warm water. Thus, one
after another, by the chicken
Matching machine, by the. chick
en-food-cramming machine, and
now by the heartless hydromere
are the innocen: joys of chick
enhood vanishing.
