HydrOphOhia.

Hydrophobia has been known for
5000 years, yet it's cause is still q mat
ter of speculation. 1t does not originate
from heat, for dogs in the warmest eli
mates, such as South Africa, Jamaica.
West Indies and South America. have
never been affected by it. Want of
water does not produce it, since dogs
have been kept forty days without water
and not gone mad. Insufficient and I'M
wholesome diet are not the causes, since
the ours of Madeira are the vilest and
most ill-kept of the world, and rabies is
unknown among them. Whether it is a
spontaneous production in the dog. cat
and wolf is also unsettled. The fact
that III remote countries of the world
where the disease has never been COM
municated, its existence is unknown
would imply that it must be acquired
by communication, yet Marray, an emf
nent writer on the subject, and others
believe the contrary. OF the real nature
of the virus little is known. It has never
been analysed. Though rabies in man
is III most cases communicated by the
bite OF o dog, yet the symptoms are
widely different. Man abhors and de-
tests water with spasmodic loathing.
while the dog searches for it and drinks
it with avidity. The statistics and ex-
perlments in hydrophobia are suggestive

Herbert Hertwig, succeeded in only %

tissues, out Of 145 persons bitten by rabid
animals in Wurtemberg, only Is had

sion was appointed to examine into the
subject OF rabies, and of 1876 cases in hu-
man subjects, los were from the bites
OF dogs, 20 from bite of wolves, s from
bite of cats, and 5 unknown. In 50
cases, where the exact date of the ap-
pearance of hydrophobia after the bite
was ascertained, it seems that IA cases
were fatal after the first month after the
bite, IL cases from the end of the first
month to the end of the third. 8 from

A Novel Exhibition.

Capt. A. Fl. Bogardus, of Elkhart, Ill.
champion wing shot, has made match

zen of New York. He has bet $500 even
that he will break 1000 glass balls in
two hours and forty minutes, the balls to
be sprung from three or more traps
though only one ball to be sent into the
air at one time. The shooter will stand
eighteen yards from the traps, and no
ball to be counted unless broken before
striking the groundg tits also stipulated
that Bogardus shall use one gun through
out the match, unless the gun becomes
disabled, when other guns can be chosen.
Two sets of barrels are allowed, and he
will confine himself to Il ounce shot.
This is the first time the Captain has
ever attempted the feat. -NeaO York

The Firefies, ExnIoit.

In the twilight of lovely June evening
the tirefles began to fit over the broad,
green meadow. First one, then two
more, then dozen, till at last there
were myriads displaying their tiny
lights. But somehow or other their
lights seemed to be much more dim
than usual, and one freely, who felt i'm
portant, because he was little bigger
than the others, paused in the shadow Of
the great maple-tree, to find out the rea-
son. He looked all around, but couldn' It
see anything uncommon; then, in fit
Of rage, he flew to the top Of a tree,
when, happening to look up he beheld
the moons silver crescent in the West.
"Ah that is it, " he cried; envy friends,
we are small, but we are many, and
the moon, because she is big, thinks
to outshine us all But we
will teach her presumption a lesson,
my friends; we will chase her out Of our
dominions. !" So he marshaled his fiery
army and led them up, up as high as he
could, after the moon, who still shone on
as brightly as ever. The vexed firefies
returned to the charge again and again,
while the moon calmly continued to sail
nearer the west, until at last she sudden
ly disappeared. Then there was rejoic-
ing among the frefies. Their great en-
envy was vanquished They had tri-
umphed at last Their little lights shone
with the utmost brilliancy as they danced
and fitted and danced again over the
meadow. Their joy seemed boundless,
for they kept up their festivities far into
the night, when I left them still in high
glee. Now, what do my little readers
think Of the frefies' wonderful victory {?

FASHION NOTES.
SPRING EIANTLES.

|
The new mantles are scarf-shaped.
much shorter behind than those now
worn, with long slender fronts. There
is but one seam in the back, and there
are no long shoulder seams, but merely
dart from the neck to the shoulder tip,
such as is used in Talmas and round
capes. Instead of folded wing-like
piece over the arm, there is slit for the
arm to pass through. This gives more
slender and stylish effect.
LACE SHAWLS, SPANISH Wells. ETC.
Small black lace points in shawls are
worn in various ways by Partisan ladies.
They are arrayed over the shoulders as
fchus carelessly knotted on the breast,
or as Spanish wells over the hair. They
are imported in llama and in fine laces
$SS44S2is the price of those of fine quality
ALPACAs, BRILLIANTINES, ETC.
Smooth-surfaced mohair goods, such
as alpacas and brilliantines, have retained
their place as serviceable materials dur
ing the long reign of soft fabrics with
rough surfaces. This is especially true
of black alpacas and it is now rumored
that colored alpacas in combination with
checked and figured mohair are again
coming into general use. The fine black
brilliantines sold at 81 q yard and up
ward are now made of pure Jet black
tints with luster-like silk, and are of me-
dunn weights that may be worn all the
year, or else of light weight for spring,
summer and fall. Among the favorite
brands are the Buffalo alpacas, beaver
mohairs and Turkish sable brilliantines.
SUMMER PARASOLs. ,..
Bunting parasois are the novelty to be
offered for spring and summer use.
They are made of navy blue or of white
bunting, with canopy-shaped tops, a
ring and bow to close them, and sticks
of bamboo. For trimming around the
edge, loops of ribbon half an inch wide
are arranged, or else the ribbon hangs
Like fringe, and is finished at the edge
with button or a tassel Thus blue
bunting parasol with blue bunting lining
will have cardinal red loops of ribbon
for border, and the ring that passes
over the top to close it will have car
dinal ribbon tied on it; others are SINH
larly trimmed with white. For more
dressy parasols black brocaded silk is
used, and the lining is white silk pinked
on the edges; a broad band Of satin is
woven near the edge, and the black rib
bon loops of the border have tassel on
each, or else there are rows of black
futed lace headed by a ruche. The
handles for these handsome parasols are
of ebony or Of black lacquered wood,
with Japanese designs of birds and flow
ers in gold lacquer, or else dotted with
pearls, or they may be pearl or ivory
handles with gold engraved heads, car
nelian knobs, or silver horseshoe links
and chains to fasten them to the belt
Many Of the ebonized handles have silver
ornaments of heads and flower medall-
ions. Light fancy sticks Of bamboo OF
other wood with natural roots at the end
are especially liked. Black gros- grain
parasols trimmed with lace are very
handsome. Smaller parasols for chill
dren are shown in brighter colors and
combinations of the designs just de-
scribed The cardinal red silk sun UNI

are offered again. H0rper's Bazaar.
