The Neecs AID Courier has turned
aside from questions of State pol
icy, and is now devising plan by
which the shad can be made less
bony without becoming less palata-
bic. Whether the result will be a
cross between the shad and jelly
fish, or between the shad and the
eel, remains to be seen. The NeacS
and Courier says: ssThe shad could
be healthy and contented with few
er bones, while We would be much
happier. (Thus far tie investigation
is satisfactory. The problem there
fore is to produce a comparatively
boneiess shad. How is this to be
done? The question is knotty
one" Now, our esteemed contem-
porary evidently means that the
question is a bong one. But we
poor devils who do not live within
the swell Of the salt, are not so fas-
tidious; We have no right to be
particular. Give rs the shad, while
you are discussing the bones. By
the way, did it ever occur to the
Neacs and Courier that cobless
corn might be produced by cross
ing our Indian corn with the GU
culnber? It's worth a trial, at all
events.

Hydrophobia From Fear.

The Gazette des Hopiteaur, while no
ticing a case of alleged recovery from
hydrophobia, observes that it is often
difficult to make the distinction between
true hydrophobia, due to the absorption
of the rabid virus, and the symptoms
of. hydrophobia caused by fear of the
disease. 1t cites the case of a woman
who died at the Hotel Dieu with what
seemed TO be all the symptoms of the
disease. under all the -circum-
stances of the case. Several months
before. this woman, who was a
street vender. had been bitten by dog
as she was passing Notre Dame. and
went at once and had the wound cauter-
lied at the Hotel Dieu. From that time
she continued perfectly well, until one
day. when she was pushing her barrow
before the Hotel Dieu, she was recog-
nized by one of the students, who
called out to her: Halloa! you are not
dead vet. then. The dog that bit your
thigh was downright mad, as they
found out at Alfort!' At the very in
slant this remark was made the poor
woman was seized with a violent
pharyngeal spasn,. and was at once
taken indoors, where she died with all
the indications of bydrophodia.

Laying the Foundations.

He who would achieve an honorable
success in life should take lesson from
the old Greek architects. They laid the
foundations of temple as thoroughly
as if the stones were to meet the public
gaze.
Daniel Stafford, Boston mechanic,
who honorably gained success in bust
ness and position in society, uncon-
sciouslv initiated these Greek builders.
When an apprentice he wrote in his
diary:
Resolred, That I will be as faithful
and thorough in working for my mas
ter, as if were doing it only for my
self"
In after life, when he had achieved
fortune, Mr.. Stafford used to say that
much of his success was due to his faith
full adherence to that resolution.
Ex-Governor Morgan, of New York,
who has just died, after filling stations
of the highest dignity, laid the founda-
tons of his large fortune by obeying a
similar rule. so
He determined to make himself so
necessary to his employer that he could
not be spared. He was taken, in later
boyhood, into his uncle's grocery store
on salary of forty dollars year.
No one in the store did better work,
or was more obliging and useful. The
second year he demanded one hundred
dollars. The uncle could not spare
him, and was unwilling to give him
higher wages than to older clerks. He
compromised with his nephew by giving
him seventy-fve dollars. The third
year the young man was master of the
situation, and the uncle was glad to
retain him by giving him place in the
firm.
