Two Children Die Of Hydrophobia.

About three months ago two of the
children of Mrs. Ferlin, residing on
Jourdan avenue, near the leyee, were
playing in the green near the residence
of their parent, and were attacked by q
savage dog, the property of colored
woman named Nine. Pierre, and Sc
verely bitten. One of the two, a little
boy, aged two years, was bitten in the
arm and face and the girl in the ankle.
The dog, at the request of the owner,
was killed Immediately and the chill
dren attended by physician. A few
days after the children were, it was
thought, well. and played around the
house as usual. One month later the
boy complained of being ill, and, after
q few days, died of what was declared
by the physician to be hydrophobia.
just one month and two days after the
death of the little boy, last Saturday,
Victorine told her mother that her leg,
at the place where she had been bitten,
panied her. Hardly had the child been
removed to her bed than she complained
of violent pains in the stomach and ex-
pressed an ardent desire for water; but
as soon as the liquid was handed to her
she repulsed it. The next day, when
ever anyone would approach, she would
complain that their breathing was SO
violent that it annoyed her extremely,
and during the four days of her illness,
whenever any of the dogs of the house
would enter her room she would scream
and order it taken away. On Wednes-
day the pains increased considerably,
and, after terrible agony, Victorine
died ut two o'clock Thursday morning.

The diminution of live stock in Great
Britain and Ireland within the last few
years is causing considerable anxiety
in agricultural circles in those coun-
tries. There has been decrease in
the number of cattle and sheep in Great
Britain since 1874 of per cent. There
was a steady increase per annum of
cattle in the United Kingdom from
1866 to 1874, and henceforward there
has been gradual falling off. The
cattle census this year shows only s.
SOS, 900 cattle in Great Britain, which
is loss Of 428, 900 in three wears. At
this rate of diminution the head of cat
tie would be reduced to one-half in
about twenty-one years. In Ireland the
decrease has been more than 8 per cent.
Sheep in Great Britain have decreased
to the number of 2,753;0OO, or z per
cent. while in Ireland there has been q
falling off of 103 per cent, and yet
there is now in Great Britain more
land under grass or crops for feeding
animals than there was in 1874. The
decrease in the number of live stock
kept is due to one or both of two causes;
either the farmers are short Of
money for buying cattle and sheep for
keeping up the yield of their green
crops, or disease has visited live stock
with such excessive mortality as to dis
suade the farmers from herding.

Lickshingle's Umbrella.

LEN me yer umbrella minnitr'
Such was the exclamation of Jones
as he rushed into the Office of Squire
Lickshingle, yesterday.
Certainly. certainly" said the
Squire, laying down his newspaper and
taking fresh chew of fine-cut, "glad
to accommodate you,'' and he opened
drawer in his desk and began rum
maging through his legal forms and
blanks.
Jones darted into the corner, seized
the green bingham relic, and was pre-
pairing to fly with it.
"Stop, stop, stopr' said the Squire,
raising his hand majestically; not too
fast, young man. Wait till make out
the necessary papers"
Jones dropped the umbrella. On his
corn, of course. After pumping his
lame foot up and down, and tying a
hard knot in his countenance, and un-
doing it again, he echoed:
q The necessary papers?'
"Yes," said the Squire, sternly,
"the necessary papers" and he con-
tinued his search among the blanks.
The right one found, he filled it out
in jiffy and handed it to Jones to
sign.
As Jones read the paper his knees
knocked together. 1t was mortgage
on his house and lot as security that he
would return the umbrella in good order
within fifteen minutes. He faltered:
Wh-why, Squire, / only want to
borrow your umbrella to run across the
street with. I'll fetch it back in two
seconds"
The Squire showed his spectacles up
over his bald spot until they formed
two sky-lights in his intellectual roof,
and, looking Jones full in the face. said
"You only want to run across the
street. You'll return in two seconds
Young man, that's what they all say

Because no man has ever taken it beyond
the range of my vision without first
signing over his estate that he would
return it in good condition. 1t may
not seem neighborly, but it's business
Here is the mortgage; there is the UNI

man resumed his newspaper.
Jones thought of his wife and babies
and the pleasant home that was:.all his
own. Then he looked at the rain that
was pounding at the doors and win
dows as if to get in out of the wet. A
glance at his new overcoat, and Jones
was decided.
"I'll risk it, he said, and stepping
to the desk with measured tread and
slow, he clapped his name to the mort
gage, and was off with the umbrella =

Relative Importance Of Studies.

Evidently the most useful knowledge,
for without it all other knowledge
would be worthless, is that which
teaches us to escape the perils by which
on every side we are constantly beset.
Here Nature has done much, and our
everyday experience compels us to be
constantly learning the lessons of self
preservation. Yet how imperfect our
knowledge in this department is, may
be Judged from the fact that very few
of us can be said to be in perfect
health. And it is indeed surprising,
that many people seem rather to glory
in their Ignorance. A man who will
blush to admit his ignorance on some
point of heather mythology will yet con-
fess that he does not know the functions
of the liver or lungs.
Next in order of importance is that
knowledge which enables us to earn q
livelihood. Here, too, science is OF
supreme Importance; for, do we but
shovel dirt, the labors Of the chemist,
physicist, mathematician, mechanic,
and perhaps astronomer, were re-
quired in collecting the material, and
constructing the instrument, with
which we work. Hardly is there any
occupation Of civilized life, that is not
directly dependent upon science.
Of third importance, because only by
the two foregoing does it become of
value, is the knowledge of the proper
way in which to rear the young. If the
sciences of psychology and physiology
were better, we do not say perfectly, un-
derstood, how much better physically,
Intellectually and morally, would be the
condition of future generations!
Of fourth importance is the knowl-
edge of ones duties as citizen; and TO
acquire this, knowledge Of the ele-
ments of sociology is necessary. This
can well be obtained by the study OF
organized history; not the history that
treats of battles and defeats, that this
is prolific in names and dates, but
that which treats of manners, customs,
morals.
OF fifth and least Importance, comes
the knowledge by which we obtain the
relaxations and pleasures which fill
our leisure time and render life more
enjoyable. Under this head comes ar
acquaintance with language, literature,
art, music and the like. But here, too
science is at least co-equal; for more
and more is thorough knowledge o.
acoustics becoming necessary to the
skilled musician, and the best artist il
he who most closely translates Nature
The great poet is Of necessity goot
psychologist; then, too, what poetry
can appeal more strongly to the imagi
nation than that long streak of trap
rock, those parallel scratches on yon
der ledge, that handful of siliciou'
earth, or piece of chalk?-N. Y. Schoo
