Amateur botanists who propose roam
ing about the fields and forests this
summer in quest of specimens for their
herbaria will be interested in the follow.
ing extract from the English Mechanic,
giving directions for the preservation of
the plants:
Small plants should have the roots
and, if possible, obtain specimen of
each at different seasons the young
plant, the flower, and when the seed or
fruit is nearly ripe. Get quire OF
good thick blotting paper and a couple
of large boards and paper on which to
mount your specimens. Let the boards
be about the same size as the blotting
paper. DENY paper of good quality is
the best size for mounting. Arrange
your plants between the sheets of blot
ting paper-some plants require several
thicknesses-and see that the leaves,
ETC., are properly disposed on the paper,
as you will not be able to alter them
when they are dry. 1t is a good plan
to interposc q few sheets of cardboard,
as it prevents one plant from spelling
another When your drying paper is
filed, put the whole between your
boards and subject to pressure; take
them out every twenty.four hours, and
dry the paper, correcting any displace-
mcnt as you 60 on when dry they are
ready for mounting. Don't gum or
paste them to the paper, but make short
Sits with penknife under the stalks
about one.eighth inch long. Take a
piece of paper as broad as the slit is
long, fold the paper, and pass it over
the stalk and through the hole at the
back, and gum the ends on the back. l
have seen every | think) method Of
mounting, and this is certainly the
neatest and cleanest. After this they
must be painted with the following preser.
vative solution Corrosive sublimate,
twenty grains camphor, twenty grains
rectified spirits of wine, one ounce. This
is a deadly poison, and should be handl
ed very cautiously. Each sheet should
have a neat label in the corner stating
date and place of collection, and name
of collector, also general habitant
specific aud generic names, with natural
order, etc. Without these particulars
they will Gas a collection) be perfectly
valueless."

SYMPTOMS OF HYDRoPnoBIA IN DOGS
Beware of dog which begins to be
sick. All sick dogs, as a principle
must be suspected. Beware especially
of one that is sad, morose and seeks for
solitude; one that does not know where
to rest one that goes and comes,
ramblcs about, snaps and barks without
reason, whose looks are duh and gloomy
and whose bright expression is lost,
Beware of the dog that looks about and
attacks imaginary phantoms. Beware
of one that is suddenly too aftectionate,
asking for your caresses by his pltlful
and repeated cravings. The mad dog
is not of necessity afraid of water, and
he will not run away if ono offers him a
drink. He will drink as long as he is
able to swallow. Rabid dogs have been
known to swim across rivers. The bark
of the mad dog is thorougly characters
tic. Instead of the normal and suc-
cessive barks, it is hoarsc, lower in tone,
prolonged, and not so strong. After
the first bark, made at full strength,
series of five, six, seven or eight other
Immediately succeeds, lower in strength,
and thrown out from the throat. The
bravest and strongest dog will in the
presence of mad dog show cowardice,
and Instead of attempting to fight with
him will try to escape. The rabid dog
is always violently impressed and irrita.
ted by the sight of animals of its own
species. 1t is generally believed that a
mad dog salivates abundantly-that he
