Novel Reading as Dissipation.

There are millions of people in Eng
land and millions in America and almost
millions in Australia to whose enjoy
ment of life novels are almost as ne
cessary as food is to their life itself
every one of whom take some credit to
themselves for the time they pass in
reading" complacently contrasting
themselves with idlers and those who
are given up to the frivolities of life. A
vain and foolish notion, for there is prob
ably no more insidious form of laziness,
no method of passing time more abso-
lutely void of exertion of any kind than
novel reading as novels are read by most
of those for whom they are written. As
a child opens its mouth and has sugar
plums put into it, so the ordinary novel
reader sits quietly and thoughtlessly and
has a story poured through his eyes into
his mind or into what serves him in that
capacity. 1t is in quite another spirit
and with another purpose that great
works of Imagination are approached
by those who can appreciate them

FORT ROBINSON, Neb., Jan. 1S-A con-

CLOUDS new location for the purpose of enlist

employed as scouts i'll the expedition against
the brave little band of Cheyennes now cor
raled at Crow Ridge, 30 miles distant. Lieut..
schuyler asked Red Cloud if he thought Lieut..
DOdd could succeed in obtaining the services
of - of his warriors The old chief, in very
grave tone of voice and without raising his
eyes from the ground said: My people are
sad ut heart since their brothers were killed
with the whites and am nearly certain will
not assist thcm.' Lieut.. Schuyler in as few
words possible gave him an account of the
Cheyenne outbreak, how the Chcyennes fired
room, killing them, and how in trying
to punish the Cheyenne bucks, the squaws
Were accidentally killed Lieut.. Schuyler

The Indians at Bay.

FORT ROBINSON, Neb., Jan. IA courier
has just arrived from tile scene Of hostilities,
five miles distant from the position held by
the Cheyennes at the last writing, with in
formation to the effect that the savages had
assumed the most inaccessible position of
any of the many from which they recently
stood the troops ut bay. He also states that
a party of five soldiers We're detached from
the command for the purpose of ascertaining
the position held by the Indians; that while
engaged in this duty they unexpectedly
found themselves within short rifle range of
over half score of Indians. The latter
discharged a volley mt the squad in command,
killing private Barber of Company II, Third
Cavalry. gaining possession of his carbine,
pistol, and ammunition. The comrades of
Barber, though exposed to the fire of the In
dians, used desperate efforts to prevent the
Indians from obtaining either his remains or
equipments but without avail. Capt. Yves
sells believes the Indians can not be dislodged
from their present position without the sac
rifice of n greater number of lives than he
deems advisable, and has in consequence dis
patched Lieut.. Dodd, Third Cavalry, to Red

sistance of n dozen Sioux scouts, we'll versed

HydrOphObia in Winter.

With most people the idea of mad
dogs is intimately associated with the
heated term" In fact, CANNES with
the rabies are almost looked upon as a
summer institution. Eminent medical
men who have paid attention to cases of
hydrophobia have declared that the dis
ease has its origin in the action of in
tense heat in the CANNES physical sys-
tenn The theory is, however, now met
by the fact that hydrophobia is not a
''season complaint" but is liable to ap-
pear in CANNES at any time of the year.
Several mad dogs have recently turn
ed up in New York State where the ther-
mometer was at zero, and one was kill
ed at Blue Bell only few days ago. In
December last also mad dog at Over
brook viciously attacked horse, which
few days later showed signs of the
rabies and had to be destroyed.
"My idea is that hydrophobia is not
peculiarly summer disease, but that it
may be looked for as much in cold as in
warm weather." said prominet veter-
Liai oti Sooi SoooAohJ. III tlC VIII
ter" he continued, "when everything
is frozen up, it is very difficult for dogs
to procure water, and intense thirst is
invariably the forerunner of hydropho-
bia. 1t is also held to some extent that
the disease may in some eases have its
origin in a want of food, or again from
the animal being kept in too close con-
finement. Altogether, while we look
for rabid dogs in the summer there is
no reason why owners of CANNES should.
not be on their guard equally in the
winter
Cases of hydrophobia are frequent in
Quebec when the thermometer is 80 de-
grees below zero, but in the summer,
when it is up in the nineties, a mad dog
is very rarely seen.-Phiiadelphia Rec.

ACCORDING to statements made in the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, it
appears that several physicians during
the yellow fever epidemic went from
Ohio and Indiana relying upon the
theory that yellow fever always attacked
its victims at night, while sleeping, and
that sleeping in upper rooms and the
use of quinine were powerful preventives.
Accordingly they used quinine daily, did
not go out after night-fall, and slept in
third or fourth story rooms. But of
twenty-eight who had not had the fever,
not one escaped. All who were I'M
acclimated were attacked. OF delega-
ton of eleven nurses from Cincinnati
but one was alive at the end of the cpl
demic, and he was the only one of the
number who had had the fever. On the
other hand, of four physicians and fifty
four nurses from Charleston, all of whom
had suffered from the fever in previous
epidemics, not one was attacked in
Memphis.
