A CURIOUS case of hYdrophobia has
occurred in Paris A young girl, living
in the Rue des Batignolles, had a pretty
little Havana poodle, of which she was
very fond. One day she noticed that
something was wrong with the dog. 1t
was, in fact, going mad, and to her great
sorrow it had to be killed. About a week
after, the girl became melancholy. She
shut herself up in her room, and re-
manned for hours in a state of utter pros
tration. On July % last she suddenly
rushed distracted out of the house, max
inc horrible cries, and she has not since
been seen. Her sad condition is ac-
counted for by the circumstance that she
used to wipe the foam of her pets
mouth with her pocket-handkerchief.
She is supposed to have committed sui
eide.
LEAVING Madrid by the Northern
Railway, an hours ride brings one to
the great Escurial, claimed by the Span
iards to be the eighth architectural Won
der of the world, built by Philip as a
palace, convent, and tomb. The
first stone was laid in 1868, and it was
q years before the masonry was COM
pleted. This great pile measures $40
feet in length by $50 in breadth, and 315
high, measuring to the pinnacle of the
central tower The circumference is p
$50 feet, and it contains 1000 doors and
windows 1t is built in square form of
huge blocks of BerrOquena, stone re-

handsome of which it is stated requir-
ed 80 yoke of cattle to draw. Most of
the materials were procured in Spain
the granite from the neighbOring hills,
and the marbles and jasper from other
parts of the kingdom. The embellish-

from Spanish dependencies, principally

A Peculiar Duel.

There is a curious duel now pending
in Boston, which began several years
ago. Mr.. A, a bachelor, challenged
Mr.. B., a married man with one child,
who replied that the conditions were
not equal, that he must necessarily put
more at risk with his life than the other,
and he declined. A year afterward he
received challenge from Mr.. A, who
stated that he, too, had now a wife and
child, and he supposed, therefore, the
objection of Mr.. B. was no longer valid.
Mr.. B. replied that he now had two
children, consequently the inequality
still subsisted. The next year Mr.. A. re-
newed his challenge, having now two
children also, but his adversary had
three The matter, when last heard
from, was still going on, the numbers
being six to seven, and the challenge
yearly renewed.-London Truth.

wedding tour.
"It's pity Ma'amselle Annette went
away so soon" said Simon to his assist
ant; * cause they say the masters kind
hearted in the main, and she might have
spoke up for herself
Mr.. Gerald Blake, in his best broad
cloth suit, and mustache newly dyed,
stood smiling in the broad doorway as
the carriage drove up to the entrance,
and MFR. Elderslie, a handsome blonde
proved man, sprang out and assisted a
young lady, in a dove-colOred travelling
suit, to alight.
"Blake, how are you?' he said, with
the carelessness of conscious superiority.
+" Annette, my love, this is Blake, my
foreman"
Mademoiselle Annette!''
And Mr.. Gerard Blake found himself
cringing before the slight French girl
whom he had turned from the factory
door month before.
81 must beg to look at the books,
Blake said Elderslie, authoritatively.
:. NV wife tells me some strange stories
about the way things are managed here.
1t became so notorious that the rumors
reached her even at Blythesdale Springs
and she chose to come and see for her
self. Annette, my darling, the best
wedding gift we can make to these poor
working girls is a new foreman. Blake,
you may consider yourself dismissed. -
"But, sir"
"Not another word,n cried Mr.. FL
derslie, with lowering brow, and Mr.
Gerald Blake crept away, with an I'M
comfortable consciousness of Annette S
scornful blue eyes following him.
Elderslie turned to his wife.
"You were right, my love-" said he.
The mans face is sufficient evidence
against him."
And a new reign began for poor Jen-
ny Purton and the working girls, as well
as for Simon Pettengill.
And Annette never regretted her
weeks apprenticeship in the Dapplevale
Calico Works.

Agricultural Notes.
BY A DISTINGUISHED POLITICIAN.

Experience shows that strychnine
mixed with fodder has a deleterous eff

except when applied to them when boil

A sure way to detect the sex of a cana
~ bird is to throw an angleworm into
the cage; if he eats it, it's he; and if
she eats it, it's a she. We have found
this rule infallible.
Thunder-storms are sure to sour milk.
1t is therefore best not to milk the cows
in localities where thunder-storms
abound.
The best time to raise spring chickens
is between l and O'Clock a. m.
We have found that excellent ice
cream on draught may be had by feed
ing a COW small chips of ice with her
salt
The best quality of butter we ever met
with was Kaskaskia billy goat.
We never turn our stock out to grass
in January; it is bad for the tender
young clover buds and mats down the
snow and ice over the blooming flowers.
Farmers who keep mules for dairy
purposes should exercise great care in
milking them. Many a fine mule has
been ruined by careless handling, and we
might add, in this connection, many q
worthy farmer.
CabbageS for the tobacco trade should
be properly stamped to avoid prosecu-
ton by the Internal Revenue Depart
ment.
We find an old-fashioned tin cup with
piece of lemon in it the best means of
raising rye.
g" X'' writes to know what is good
thing for fleas. If the fieas don't know,
it's none of our business, but we suggest
ice-cream and sponge cake.
Don't let your cattle drink too much.
Many promising steer has filled a
drunkard's grave.
Corn-cutting is one of the arts that
few farmers learn to perfection. We
found the bread-knife n desirable Access
sorry when our boots set us tight.
Cats should be planted in the full of
the moon, the deeper the better.
We have aScertained after eleven
years experience that wether sheep are
not profitable for breeding purposes.
We bought twenty wethers eleven years
ago and they never brought us any re-
turn, and we will sell the two (the dogs
have left for cheap cash.
Sorghum has become great industry,
but no farmer can successfully raise cane
without the assistance of two or three
twelve-year-Old boys.
The most popular season for raising
boils is early in the spring.
Beef tea is said to be an excellent thing
to make onions strong.
During the month of August when the
flies get troublesome, the cattle should
be provided with mosquito bars.

mosquitoes. In New Jersey hOwitzers
are employed, but on our farms here in

"WALDo" says in the Ohio Farmer
that after IL years of experience with
mules on the farm he considers them far
superior to horses, and would always
recommend, where two teams are kept,
that one should be mule team. They
are better than horses for the following
reasons: They endure the heat much
better and are not so liable to sickness
or injury, and when famed or CALLED,
they recover much sooner than horses.
They also have greater endurance and
will do more work. They require less
feed and viii last many years longer
than horses. Notwithstanding the preju-
dice existing against them, they are, as
a rule, as trusty as horses and more re-
sponsive to kind treatment.

this novel apparatus is about seventy

successfully, and finds no difficulty in

In Germany a new seed fertilizer has

THE Zulus have a matted chair to
which they ascribe supernatural powers.
Warriors who sit in it before going to
battle are believed to be invariably sue
cessful, or, rather, they used to be, for
Cetewayo is understood to have broken
the charm by removing the chair last

stood for many years.

bangeth the door and maketh noise,

AMONG the indiscriminate arrests made
in the beginning of April in St. Peters
burg, was that of a clerk in Govern
ment department. This young man
was perfectly innocent of any completely
in the conspiracy, or even of acquaint-
ance with any of the real cOnSpiratOrs,
but he had unluckily given his photo
graph to a friend who happened also to
be friend of Solovieff's brother. I'M
mediately after SolOvieff's crime all his
relations and their friends and acquaint-
ances were arrested. The circle was
made still wider by arresting even all
the acquaintance of the latter, and
under this category was included the
unfortunate young Government clerk.
The only support of bedridden mother
and of brother of tender years, he was
suddenly torn from his quiet home in the
middle of the night Without accusa-
ton, beyond his gift of photograph to
an already arrested individual, the poor
wretch was hurried to the fortress and
thrust into one of its gloomy dungeons.
The mother terrified for the safety of her
son, and seeing herself deprived of her
only support, became dangerously i'll.
The clerk, after fortnight's harsh inn
prisonment, was fortunate enough to be
released, but, being of delicate cOnsti
tuition, the shock of his misfortune over
came him. He has fallen into bad
health, and has been ever since unable
to return to his official duties.
