How to Deal With Dog Bites
London Lancet.

An absurd superstition prevails that
the bites of dogs should be either cut
out or csunterized. and the poor amin
al destroyed. 1t is not necessary to
adopt either of these serious courses,
provided the dog is healthy. in fact,
they are simply ri diculous, and calcul-
ated to produce groundless fear In the

cases erysipelas may superrene, but
with ordinary care, the wound being
cleansed by disinfecting lotien, no
serious consequence will follow. In all
cases however, doctor should be con-
suited.

HUMAN SACRIFICES,
Reminders of the Dark Ages Still to
be Found In Greece.

Reminders of the Dark Ages Still to
be Found In Greece.
The tourists among the temples
would find that even where human
sacrifices were disused, they had been
customary, and ceremonies existed by
way of Communication. This is precisely
what we find in Vedic religion, in
which the empty form of sacrificing
man was gone through, and the origin
of the world was traced to the frag-
ments of god sacrificed by gods. In
Sparta was an altar OF Artemis Orthia
and q wooden image of great rudeness
and antiquity, so rude indeed that Pau
SINUS, though accustomed to Greek
fetish stones, thought it naust be of
barbaric origin. The story was that
certain people OF different towns, when
sacrificing at the altar, were seized
with frenzy and slew each other. The
oracle commanded that the altar
should be sprinkled with human blood.
Men were therefore chosen by lot to
be sacrificed, till Lycurgus committed
the Offering, and sprinkled the altar
with the blood of boys who were flogged
before the goddess. The priestess holds
the statute of the goddess during the
logging, a2d if any of the boys are but
slightly SEQ lrged the image becomes
too heavy tor her to bear. These rites
are on a par with the initiatory cere-
monies of the Hotentots, Mandins and
Australian natives. They lasted till
the time of Pausanias, and perhaps we
may some day find the rude figure of
tho ondHnSS mh iol, hold ~
by shrub into which it was thrust.
At Patla was temple of ArtelGis,
called 'the Impiacable," and to her
it had been customary to sacrifice
yearly youth and maiden of trans
cendent beauty. In Pausanias' time
the human sacrifice was COM
muted. He himself beheld the
strange spectacle of living beasts
and birds being driven into the fire to
Artemis, and he had seen bears refuse
to face the fire and rush back
among the ministrants. But there
was no record of anyone ever having
been hurt by the wild beasts on these
sacred occasions. TIE bear was
beast closely connected with Artemis,
and there is even reason to suppose
that the goddess herself had been q
she bear in the morning of time.
There is a good deal of mystic specu-
lation about the idea of motherhood
as symbolized in the she bear in Bach
fen's Baer in den Religion en- des Alter
th,tnas. But, as in all savage religions.
beasts were the first gods of which we
fird trace, and as they slowly devel-
ep into anthropomorphic beings,
it seems simpler to regard the bears of
Artemis as survivals of a period of
barbarous thought. Among the Thes-
plans, Zeus at one time demanded
that human sacrifices should be Of
fered to a dragon" This legend, like
the sacrifice of Andromeda, probably
refers to some such custom as that
which offers human victims to sacred
sharks on the African coast. Saturday

A Little Bear Story.
Manton (Mich.) Tribune

A brother of G. A. Lamb, of this
place, who lives fourteen miles east of
here, recently tracked bear into .
hollow, standing tree. Taking his boy,
AK and gun, he chopped the tree down,
which broke as ii fell, some distance
from the stump. Surprising the bear
would come out at the upper end, he
stationed the boy st the stump, while
he started for the other end of the log.
The boy stood till he counted four
bears coming out of the log, and then,
concluding that all the bears in the
country had taken up their residence
IN that log, he proceeded 70 make him
self scarce in that vicinity In the i've
hest possible manner. Mr.. Lamb
killed one of the bears, the other three
escaping, one of them slightly
wounded.

A FOx-Hunter's Good Luck.

Sportsmanship extraordinary was
that of Mr.. A. B. F. Kinney Tuesday.
He was out fox hunting near Dority
Pond, and suddenly got "double" by
finding two foxes right in his range.
He fired one barrel, killing one, and
then the second barrel, killing the 9TH
er. This beats any fox-shooting in this
section, unless it be that of Nathan
Harrington, some time ago, who killed
two with one barrel. Mr.. Kinney is
receiving the congratulations of his
brother sportsmen.

JUNE.
BY EDITH NJ. PETRIE.

A wealth of orchard blossoms,
All pink and snowy white;
A fisod of golden sunshine.
A spring day, warm and bright.
A sound of brown bees hummiDg
A drowsy droning tune;
The earth in gala garments
Awaits the lovely June.
A sapphire sky above US,
With soft clouds sailing DER,
Like fleets Of snow-white sail boats
That never reached the shore.
A bower of crimson roses;
A mellow burst of song;
The green Of waving wheat-felds;
The June days warm and long.
A murmuring sound of music.
Low whispered by the breeze,
Az it plays the Em'rald harp-strings,
OF the grand old forest trees.
The sweet perfume Of clover,
The smell Of now-mown hay,
The growing heat of GUNNER,
And June has passed away.
These, and hundred poems
Writ in natures mystic rune,
And with thousand other beauties,
In the glorious month of June.
