HydrOpllObia Cases.

In the summer of 1873 the writer Of
this article was summering i'll country
village in Connecticut, where no case of
rabies had occurred for many years. In
July family owning pet Spitz, very
pretty little animal, took board at the
hotel for couple of months. During
July and August Of that summer the
mad dog was the standing sensation of
the village, and in all eleven dogs show
ing symptoms of the disorder were shot
The Spitz i'll question was quarrelsome
little vagabond, liable to snap at dog or
man with or without provocation, and
was, no doubt, responsible for every in
stance Of rabies Gamma that occurred in
the village and vicinity that summer.
A German family, near Kingsland, n.
j., had Spitz dog which has bitten the
wife and three children. A son, about
twelve years old, died, and fears are en-
tertained that the other three persons
will suffer the same late.

A CRUEL HoAx-A cruel hoax was
recently perpetrated on two members of
the Hebrew community who presented
themselves at the synagogue in Birming-
ham, England, to be married. The cere-
mony was interrupted by the arrival of a
telegram to the rabbi informing him that
the bridegroom was already married and
had two children. The bride was re-
moved in fainting condition, and the
bridegroom was chased through the
streets by mob, who saluted him with
"a shower of stones and mud" Investi-
cation has since proved that the telegram
was forgery, and the wedding will take
place after all.

AsroNIsHED.-A circus company, on
their way TO Australia, stopped TO see
one of the Fiji islands. While wander

astonished by the sight. Thereafter,
the circus men, discerning the opportu-
nifty for fun, varied their walks by fire.

belief they were missionaries, sent to

the edge of the bed (t was such big bed

Paulby would come back crying lit was
q strange thing to see him cry, and it
touched me as it touches me now to see q
big man in tears), and he would spend
his half-pence-they were rare enough,
poor fellow-in picture books for our
poor little dying wife. But a time came
when even the picture books were for
hidden, and then the whole house was
enjoined to silence, and the grave doc
tor-graver now than ever--came and
went on tiptoe. And if we stole to the
little girls bedroom, as we often did, we
were pretty sure to find great hard Nurse
Stark in tears, or with traces of tears
upon her face and once, when Joe and
/ crept down to the room, and looked in
ut the half-opened door, we saw the
shadow of Nurse Stark on her knees,
thrown by the fiickering freight on the
wall. Then we knew that the end was
near.
One day Captain Paulby came home
earlier than usual, looking very grave,
and with him came the kind doctor, and
with them another doctor, an older man,
but also very kind. They went up into
little Minis room, and they staid SO long
that Joe and L stole down from our cold
dark play-room to hear, if we could, the
reason of his uncle's unexpected return.
And Joe and l cried as if our hearts
would break, for our dear little wife was
dying.
! Captain Paulby came out of the room,
and, seeing us in the passage, told us
quite kindly to go back to the play
room. Joe Paulby went, but begged
! Captain Paulby to let me see my dear
little playmate once more and, alarmed

sobs, he admitted me.
l had not seen her for two days, and
she was greatly changed. She looked
SO little in that big bed that the two
doctors and Captain Paulby and Nurse
Stark seemed absolutely gigantic as they
all bent, silently and without motion,
over the little child. 1 think we must
have remained SO for nearly two hours,
the silence undisturbed except by an oc
casional whisper from one of the doctors
and a sob from Nurse Stark. When
first went into the dark room Ethel was
asleep, but eventually she recognized
me, and begged to be allowed to kiss
me, as she was nearly quite well. They
laid me on the bed by her side, and he

Raising Snakes to Kill Rats.

Notwithstanding the great profit in
raising oranges in Florida, the business
has its perplexities. A correspondent
writes : Everybody talks about oranges.
All that's yellow is not golden fruit, how
ever. listened to a gentleman on Sat
urday who was relating a misfortune.
The rats had climbed his trees and eaten
out all the inside part of many of his
oranges without causing the rinds to col
lapse or to fall from the limbs He was
going to raise two particular kinds of
snakes which would drive off the rats;
and he had also somewhat similar plan
for killing the squirrels that visited his
orange grove.
