Specific Against Hydrophobia.

DIR. GRzYvALA, Of Krivoc Ozcroc, Po-
dolia, Russia, for whose trustworthincss
Prof. Gublcr, of Paris, vouchcs, declares
that, after series Of crucial trials, which
he describes at length, lie has found that,
after having had opportunities of treating
at least 100 cases of men bitten by rabiu
dogs, with the Xanthiua Spinosun, he
has never, in any one of these cases, failed
to ward off hydrophobia. Hc gives some
startling examples. During the Crimean
war, a family of twelve persons had been
bitten by a hydrophobic wolf. Six Of
them entered his wards in the hospital at
Olschanka, government of Podolia, dis
trict of Balta. They were treated with
infusion Of the leaves Of cxthanthium, and
all recovered. The six others, who were
treated by the actual cautery and the dai
ly use OF genesta tinctoria and other
drugs, died with hydrophobia in the
course Of twelve to sixty days. He re-
counts many other facts not less striking
For an adult, the dose is sixty cent?
grammcs of the dry powder, repeated
three times day. Children under twelve
take half that quantity. The dose for an
imals is much larger. A herd of thirty
oxen had been bitten by a mad wolf,
eight had succumbcd with symptomssof
hydrophobia. The commissary of policB*
came to DR.. Grzyvala, for his "a, +irabic*
powder" He gave three ounces ,f the
powder, with bran, daily to eacl Of the
remaining animals; none of them, 6ercd
from the disease, These are exam Nes of
which DR.. Grzyvala says he ha. ,hun-
dred Others.

A Royal Fiddler.

Prince William of Prussia, the eldest
son Of the crown prince, and the future
emperor, has very great skill in play
ing the violin-a skill which he acquired
by taking lessons in private, without his
fathers knowledge, at Bonn, where he is
student. Not long ago the crown
prince, who likes popular tunes, ordered
a Hungarian band now staying at Berlin
to play at one Of his family gatherings
During a pause in tl,c music, Prince
William asked the first violin player to
lend him his violin for moment, and
walking up quietly behind the crown
princess, who was engaged in convcrsa-
tion with some ladies, struck up one 0
Strauss waltzcs. The crown princess
turned round to sec where the music
came from, and was equally surprised
and delighted to find that it was her son
playing; playing so nicely, too, that she
and all the ladies applaudcd. He went
through a variety Of tunes, waltzes,
student songs and quadrilles, and on
leaving off and making his bow was re-
warded, not only with hearty applause
from the princess and ladies present, but
by words of commentator from the
bandmaster and the crown prince.
Modestly disclaiming any merit for him
self, he returned the violin to its owner
with the words: ''Your violin plays very

The Value of Agriculture.

The principal imports to the United
States derived directly from agriculture,
for the last year were: Coffee, $40,
900; hides and skins, $1G,400,OOO; tea,
$15, 100000; raw silk, $6,900,000; bread
stutfs, 1O,000,000: manufactures of cot
ton, $19,000,000; flax and manufactures
of flax, $15 100000; fruit and nuts, $1O,-
100000; leather and leather goods, ST.
100000; silk goods, $21 100000; sugars,
$780, 900; tobacco and cigars, $4,000
900; wines, $j,G00,000; wool and woolcns,
$2S,S00,000. Total, $oSS, 100000.
Our exports Of the same nature were:
Living animals, $1O,OOO,O00; bread and
breadstutfs, s20G,700,O00; raw cotton,
1854 ,1O0,O0O: manufactured cotton, S10,-
100000; leather and leather goods, So
100000: oils, $5,30O,OOO; tobacco and
manufactures thereof, $3o 100000; wood
and manufactures thereof, $15,9OO, 900;
Total 5000, 100000.
The total value of our imports for the
year was $46O,GS0,32G The largest item
is sugar, principally from Cuba. This
country takes but little in return. Cof-
fee is the next in importance. This
comes principally from Brazil. Our
re-export trade is next to nothing. We
have not the merchant marine, and so
England rcaps the benefits of the ocean
carrying trade. Our wealth consists
principally in agricultural products,
manufactured products, exported, really
forming but small figure in our aggrc-
gate export articles. Our domestic ex-
ports reach total of $74S,64e,62S, the
total value of our agricultural exp ports
reaching about 570,000,00O. Curious, is
it not, that a country, depending as we
do almost exclusively on agriculture for
our wealth, should have so small pro-
portion ofpcrsons engaged in agriculture
to represent those interests in our state
and national government.

A resident on Brush street who had horse
to sell was directed to a citizen of Ninth ave-
nue who wanted to buy, and after little
talk the two made trade. The Ninth ave-
nue. man gave an old horse and 1928 in cash
for the other, and everything seemed per-
tectly satisfactory. In day or two. how
ever, The Brush street man returned and
said:
"You and I made trade the other day?''
"Yes," replied the other.
"You are member of the church, 1 un-
derstand?''
~ am.''
"Well, that horse you traded with me has
q SPAWN. and you never said word about
it. What sort of trickery is this for Chris
tian man to engage in?''
The other entered the house without q
word, but after a minute reappeared with
the family bible, and said:
'Mr. Blank, here is my guide and conso-
lation. have read this book through and
through, and If you will take it and find
where . Christian man is required to point
ont spavins in horse trade, IN buy you a
better horse than you ever owned.''
The Brush street man went home with
new thoughts in his head, and he has said no

A ST. LOUIS LOTTERY,

Pri=e.

Row on -4cco""t of the Fragment Of a
Prize.
st. Louis Special
The irrepressible Wakefield, whose con-
nection with the police board scandal, and
subsequent indictment for perjury in con-
nection Herewith is still town talk, has again
got himself into trouble. Defeated in his
scheme to retain a profitable control over
the Missouri Lottery company, he few
days ago got possession of the charter of the
Academy of Music lottery, under which, some
time since, its owners were empowered to
run a lottery in this State. The charter was
subsequently repealed by the Missouri leg
islature, but this made but little difference
to Wakefield, as, though he saw certain
prospect of litigation, he also saw that he
had, in the opinion of lawyer that the re-
peal of the charter was unconstitutional,
grounds for sufficient delay of the laws final
operation to allow him several months in
which to run his lottery. He accordingly
secured the cooperation of three Israelitish
brothers, Smit by name and pawnbrokers by
profession, organized the lottery,
and rented head Office on the
corner of Fourth street and Wash
ington avence. Preparations were soon
completed, and yesterday the sale of tickets
commenced. Quite a number were disposed
of, the late patrons of the defunct Missouri
lottery gladly invested in the new venture.
In fact, everything looked favorable until,
at a few minutes after noon to-day, a levee
hand named G. H. Price entered tho Office,
and presenting the orthodox ticket, demand
ed the $125 which it had evidently
drawn. There was no doubt that the
ticket was genuine, and that the man
had got it from one of y teh authorized
agents of the lottery. But the head
office had no record of the sale, and
declined to pay the prize. The Smits
and Wakefield did their best to
persuade the man that he
had been deceived, but he knew better, and
seeing that he was bent upon his rights,
they ordered him from the office. He de-
cliaed to move without the money. They
persisted and row followed, in which
(though the levee man was mighty and mus
cular) he was finally worsted, but not until
he had marked his four opponents; aud had
broken up the office furniture considerably.
The noise of the scufle caused considerable
commotion in the building, in which some
OF the most respectable business men of the
city have offices, and the result was that the
proprietor requested Wakefield and his
1sraelitish oonferes to remove their establish
ment instanter. They did SO, and it is not
yet known where the headquarters of the
new lottery will be located.
