A dog in New Jersey last year bit wo.
man, and ran under the sofa her husband
dragged him out by the tail, held him up
and whipped him; in this position the dog
got chance of biting his master, who died
in a few days of hydrophobia; this shows
that the state of mind Of the animal gives
virulence to the bite. A mother nursing her
infant child was thrown into sudden tenn
pestuous rage; as soon as it was over, she
finished nursing the child, which was at once
taken with convulsions: The state Of mind
of the mother imparting virulence to the
milk of her bosom. A lady saw at distance
window sash falling Immediately on the ends
of the fingers of her little grandchild; the
child's fingers were crushed-those of the
grandmother were similarly affected. This is
given on the testimony of the distinguished DR..
Brown Sequard. The lesson is, seek to con-
troll the imagination and to guard against
mental excitement by habituating the mind
to take calm, measured and deliberate view
of all the circumstances of life. Intelligent
people should bear these things in mind.
The greatest throatswabber of the age began
to think he had sore throat too, and swabbed
himself every day; and when he died his
throat was found to have been as we'll as
anybody's.
The best way to escape imaginative dis
ease, is to be just as busy as you can in doing
something useful, profitable or good; to have
the mind fully employed in some commenda.
BILE object; it is thus that tho washerwo-
man is often happier than the wife of the
millionaire; the hod carrier than he who
has retired from business. s."-HaTs Journal
of Health.

IMAGINATION POWER.

Many persons are sick merely from the
effect of Imagination or habit, the old woman,
for example, who has been bed.ridden for
years with her rheumatics. She was left alone
one summer day at the farmhouse. She saw
mad bull tearing across the pasture in the
direction of the house, and feeling that it
was meek or nothing" she bounced out Of
that bed in double quick time, barred both
the doors, and never complained of rheuma-
tism afterward.
Many cases are given in the medical jour-
mails of persons who have been bitten by dogs
and have afterward taken to foaming at the
mouth, shuddering at the sight of water, and
initiating dogs bark, imagining that these
are signs of hydrophobia, and have actually
died in convulsive agonies, the facts being
that mad dogs don't foam at the mouth, nev.
er bark, and can drink water ''like fish"
So far from running about in desperation as
if hundred thousand dilapidated tin.pans
were tied to their caudal prolongations, really
mad dogs are the quietest individuals in the
world, make no noise, seem to want to be
alone, keep their mouths shut, the distinctive
symptoms of such madness being great rest
lessness, paving the face and eating their
own fresh objections. Mad dogs do not run
after people, but will snap at any one who
comes in their way, especially individuals Of
their own kind they seem to trot or run as
if looking at something straight ahead. In
finite mischief is done in publishing cases Of
persons becoming hydrophobic, one, ten and
even twenty years after the last remembered
biting of dog, the reporters of such tales
not having taken pains to inquire if there
had not been later biting. Such monstrous
absurdities are we'll calculated to keep ner-
vous persons who have been once bitten by a
dog in state of wearyiDg uneasiness all their
life long afterward. If person has been
bitten by dog supposed to be mad, the ami
NAL should be put in a quiet room and let
alone, only slipping in food and drink from
time to time. If really mad, death will take
place in day or two, and if not mad, there
will be complete recovery.
Only one bite in twenty Of dogs supposed
to be mad is fatal,

FONTAINEBLEAU.

The forest of Fontainebleau covers $4,000
acres and is sixty miles in circumference.
Most of the trees are very old, and to the
most remarkable ones are affixed small
plaques giving the particulars of their history.
Originally the demense was named the Foret
de Biere and became known as Fontainebleu
from the fact that King Louis, while hunting
in one of its widest parts, lost one of his
favorite hounds, whose name was Bleau.
The dog was found quietly drinking from
spring of cool water, which the king named
Fontain Bleau, or Bleau's fountain. Struck
with the beauty of the spot, the king order.

spring. and this hunting box has in success.
sive reigns been enlarged and beautifed un-
til it became the stately palace which all visi-
tors to the environs of Paris know so we'll.
In Francis rs time, tradition says, the
forest was infested by an enormous serpent,
which gobbled up men, women and children
in large numbers. As there were no snake
charmers sufficiently courageous to attack the
monster King Francis determined to try his
hand on it, and caused suit Of armor to
be made of razors, with the edges pointing

The library of the palace contains many OF
the first books seen in France. In Charles
Wis reign the S53 books therein contained
were worth the present sum of $48.10O. The
English carried off the books when ,ney were
rulers in France, but they we're bought back
at the cost of $3.50.
In the Hotel d'Albret, in the Cour du
Cheval Blanc, Cordinal Richelieu dwelt when
attending on the court. Here he was taken
ill and was removed to Paris on litter.
The litter was too wide to pass through the
door of the hotel and was lifted out through
window. In 1867, Christina, Queen of
Sweden, while visiting at the palace, caused
Monaldeschi, one of her favorites to be assassi.
mated. Cardinal Mazarin, by order Of the
king, wrote to her to leave the palace. She
replied by ordering Mazarin to mind his own
business; as queen was always a queen
wherever she happened to be. Fontainbleau
was the scene of many triumphs Of Rousseau
and Voltaire. The latter, however, was re-
quested to leave the palace, an uncomplimen-
tary remark he had made having come to
the ears of royalty. The abdication OF Napo-
leon I, was 81 gned at Fontainebleau, and here
the petit corporal kept Pope Plus VII pris,

A STRANGE PLANT.-A curious plant has
been discovered in Wisconsin which produces
kind of cotton and fax from the same stalk.
It has already been woven into fabrics, and,
as any article that will make as good cloth as
can be made from this plant will make good
paper, it has been called the paper plant.
1t can be planted in the spring, and cut in
the fall and winter. 1t bleaches itself white
as it stands, and it will yield three or four
toms to the acre. From single root that
was transplanted last spring grew twenty
large stalks, with 365 pods containing the
cotton, at least sixty seeds in each. From
this root were obtained seven ounces Of pure
cotton and over pound of fax. 1t is very
heavy plant and grows from six to seven feet
high,

b@ Mr.. Benjamin Butler was in his youth
destined by his mother to become Baptist
minister, and she sent him to Waterville
College for preparation. Mr.. Bland, new
biographer, relates that one of the profes-
sors delivered sermon in the chapel, in
which be said 81. None but the elect can
be saved. 2. Of so-called Christians proba-
bly not more than one in hundred will be
saved. 3. Heather people will have more
consideration of the Almighty in future life
than men of Christian nations, who hear but
do not profit by the Word Of God" After
hearing this sermon the young Butler petit
toned the faculty to relieve him from fur
ther attendance upon preaching, upon the
ground that according to the proportion sta
ted, not above six persons in the college could
possibly be saved and as there were nine
worthy professors, all Of whom were doctors
of divinity, it would be presumptuous for
him, poor student, to hope for even the re-
motest chance of salvation hence in attend
ing church he was only making his damna.

The OLD FoLKs.-Do young people ever
think that they will be old; that they will
soon feel that the grasshopper is burden
and fear is in the wsy2 Only a few short
years ago that aged man and feeble woman
were young, strong, and full of life; their
young hearts were gushing with tenderness
and care for the little ones who stand in
their places Do not jostle that aged couple
out of your pathway, but rather lift them
with tender care over the rough declining
goad. You may have forgotten how they
kept your tender feet from stumbling and
with what care they watched your advancing
steps. But they have not forgotten, and the
time will come when you are forcibly remind
ed of it, by the love you have for your little
ones. Will they hand you the same bitter
cup to drink that you put out for that aged
father and stricken mother. Verify, "with
the measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you again." Think of the anxious days and
nights your mother has watched by your sick
bed remember her loving care her patience
and long suffering with your fretfulness, and
then, let the blush of shame dye your brow,
that you should be impatient or unkind to
her now that she is old. Old folks are such
trial! Yes, they know it; they feel it
and so will you be such q trial to your chill
dren in the days that will surely come; aye,
and you will remember, too!

some slight difference of opinion between him

Cour du Cheval Blanc, Napoleon took his

his trip of exile to Elba.
WARM WEATHER D1ET.-The FIRST warm
days are fruitful of complaints about the fail.
ure of appetite. Breakfasts are no longer
relished dinners afford but languid inter-
est, and suppers seem superAuous. Only Wig"
orous workers out of doors, or young people,
who are so blessed as not yet to have made
the acquaintance of their stomachs, come to
the table with a real zest for food. And it is
no wonder, considering how few people have
yet learned the at Of altering the diet to suit
their own conditions and the state Of the sea-
son. The spring appetite fails, and ought to
fail, before ham and eggs, or great piece of
steak, on these enervating first warm mornings
Of the year. Rich soups, heavy meats and
all stimulating and blood making articles of
diet, that met real want in the nipping and
eager air of winter, are as much out of place
now as the furs and ulsters. And yet many
person who would think it sign Of lunacy
to dress in the December style in May, does
not appear to see any incongruity in eating in
the December fashion. Food and coal create
heat, and thick clothing and tight houses pre-.
serve it for the comfort of the body in winter.
Yet men who know enough to dump their
furnaces, open the windows and lay off their
overcoats on the advent of spring, are stupid
enough to keep on stocking their stomachs at
full blast and consider themselv, ,s "out-of:
sorts" and i'll if nature resents the abuse.
1t is time TO let up on the cold W ather diet,
especially for persons doomed to Ii 7e indoors.
A mold of well-cooked oatmeal, srved colo
with cream and sugar, with two three Or
anges and a cup Of coffee, makes an adequate
and appetizing breakfast. All fruits and veg
etables attainable fit in we'll at this season.
The many preparations Of the small grains
afford variety, which it is we'll to study.
Milk and eggs and fish contain ali the needed
food.elements for the diet of month or two,
with such sugar and starch as the housewife
combines in toothsome light puddip,gs or other
desserts. Whether we eat to live or live to
eat, we ought to be rational enough to dis
pense with food when not hungry and to tempt
rather than force the appetite. Golden Rule.

A CHLD FASCINATING BIRDS IN OHIO
We learn from correspondent that there re-
sides in the vicinity of Harrisburg, in an out
of.the.way place in Hancock county, about
three miles west of Mount Blanchard, a very
remarkable child, only five years old, who
seems to h,ye the power to charm birds at
will.
Her mother first noticed the strange fasci.
nation that the child possesses about ayear
ago. The little girl was playing III the door
yard among 81 bevy Of snow birds, and when.
she spoke to them they would come and light
upon her, twittering with glee. On taking
them in her hands and stroking them, the
birds instead Of trying to get away from their
fair captor, seemed to be highly pleased, and
when let loose would fly away short distance
and Immediately return to the child again.
She took several Of them into the house to
show her mother, who thinking she might
hurt them, put them out Of doors, but no
sooner was the door opened than the birds
few into the room again, and lit upon the
girls head and began TO chirp.
The birds remained about the premises all
winter, flying to the little girl whenever the
door was opened. The parents of the child
became alarmed, believing that this strange
power was an i'll omen, and that the much
dreaded visitor, death, was about to visit their
house. But death did not come, and during
last summer the child has had numerous pets
among the birds.
The child handles the birds so gently that
humming bird once in her hands, does not
fail to return. This winter bevy Of birds
have kept her company, and she plays with
them for hours at time. Every morning
the birds fly to her window, and leave only
when the sun sinks in the west. The parents
cf this girl are poor, superstitious people, and
have been reticent about the matter until
lately, fearing that some great calamity was
about to befall them.-Forest and Stream.
