The Deadly Teapot.
From the Waterbury Conn. } American,

ITou inc waterbury (COnn) American.
"While good temperance people are decrying
liquor" said one Of the leading physicians of
the city, "they seldom stop to think how much
harm is being done by the abuse of beverage
to which many Of them are devoted. 1 lust
came from attending the case OF fiye-year -old
babe who is ruined for life by its parents indulge
ing it In tea drinking. The child became very
nervous and dyspeptic and they sent for me. I
asked them how much tea the child drank
About two cups at each meal and several be-
tween meals was the reply. You see," the
doctor continued, "they let the teapot stand on
the stove all day. Thus the fannie acid is ex-
tracted, which serves to turn the Innings of the
stomach into leather and brings on dyspepsia
and kindred diseases. Yes, you will find hun
dreds Of women, young girls and aged women,
and occasionally q man, who have completely
ruined their nervous system by the excessive
use of common tea. 1t will be blessing to
mankind when a temperance crusade can spare

A long striped snake crawled into basement

An elderly gentleman next enters. He sits

Each new conner sits down quietly. looks at
the stove and then cries. ''How hot it ia! What

q window, one gentleman going so far as to
open all the ventilators, while another opens

prevention Of aydrophobia.

French science may indeed Claim a
new title to the gratitude of humanity.
While granting this, we do mo- wish to
rush to the hasty conclusions that ny
drophobia is to be banisiled from our
midst only, if we can believe our eyes
and ears, it seems that We are within
measurable distance of this glad state.
What has Pasteur dune! He ahas-if
our information be- accurate, and we
have no reason to doubt it-aone souie-
thing to twenty three dogs, thereby
rendering them, at any rate for a time,
incapable of suffering from rabies.
Side by side with the free animals he
has placed others which may be regard
ed as servile to the yoke of ~hy(ropho-
bla. Of the latter series, six were bitten
by mad dogs, three of them becoming
mad eight were subject to ~intravcnous
incubation, all becoming mad; and five
to inoculation. Ivy trepanning, all like
wise becoming mad On this showing,
sixteen out of nineteen dogs died when
IL dose of the virus of rabies was sown
in them ; whereas, Of twenty three pro
tected dogs, none succumbed, although
the virus was brought in the most ef
fectnal manner into the tissues Of each
animal. 1t is o well known fact that
many more persons are bitten by rabid
animals than suffer from hydrophobia.
What the exact proportion may be is
not satisfactorily known. but in dogs it
would appear that about half the nnm-
Der bitten become rabid. There are
two explanations Of the escape. The
first is expressed by saying that no vi
rus gets into the tissues of the body.
The second suggestion, though posi-
BILE, is less plain. It is to the effect
that some organisms are unsuitable for
the development of the rabid poison.
There is analogy for this contention.
Some individuals are believed to be in
susceptible to the poison of scarlet fe-
Yer, and this statement also applies to
other acute specific diseases. The
questiouer Of nature may ask how these
facts are to be explained Aud al.
though We arc on very unsafe ground,
still science does afford some clue to a
possible explanation. If We remember
rightly, Sir. James Paget has asserted
his belief that a severe attack Of ty.

Good Morning.

It is astonishing how old this
salutation is, and how it differs,
says a contemporary, among va
rious races. The Greeks wished
a man to be of "a good cheer"
The Romans trusted that their
friends might that day find
themselves in a state of health
aud safety. The season explains
itself. The Greek was "a gay
dog" and happiness at any cost
was his ideal. Hence be of good
'scheer, make the most of the
moment. The Romans, how
ever, surrounded by the cares of
q vast empire threatened now
by one foe and again by another,
used a more solemn greeting.
Health was his first wish, be-
cause his idolized Rome was sur
rounded by fogs. Safety was
his second wish, for at any mo-
ment the fatefnl end of all things
might come. Iii China good
morning" almost grows comic.
1t means there, have you eaten
your rice, and is your stomach

these phrases to an Englishman !!

deal of wisdom in his salutation.
a good appetite for breakfast,
be it bread and butter, meal or
be 1t a repast on rice, means, as
q rule, a good day, q good night,
and with d good night, pleasant
sleep and renewed strength for

Teaching . Calf to Drink.

Many a reader, man as we'll as boy,
will recognize the truthfulness aud EN-.
JOY the humor of the following descrip-
ton Of experience in giving the, calf
its first lessons of how to drink proper
ly. We take it from the Irish Farm
ers' Gazette: Those who have had the
mournful experienc" know that there
is nothing more trying to the temper
than the operation al teaching Il Young
calf to drink. The Fproress is familiar
to every man who has brought up a
calf from infancy. You seize a pail of
warm milk. go tut" the stable, catch
the calf BY the ears, back him into d
corner aud hcStride his neck. The
idiot rather likes this, and while you
are reaching for The pail he employs his
time III slnbbering the corner of your
JACKET. You discover what the bIockhead
is about and bog bis ears. You can't
help it. >Yon feel that way, and let
him have it. But the calf can't tell for
tue life Of him why h. has been struck,
and he gives Il sudden all unexpected
" honHce.' He believes lie will go and
STAY on the other side of the stable. hut
he doesn't this beforehand.
H. starts on the impulse of the mo-
ment, and yon can't tell just when he
arrives there. You ride along with
him a little way. But the laws of
gravitation are always about the same.
Your legs, one on each side of the crit
ter, keep up with the calf for about a
second, but your body doesn't. You
slide over the calfand your back kisses

pail of milk. When you get up you
are mad uncommonly so. Milk runs
from your hair, and im%precations out
of your mouth, and you 'solemnly de-
clare that you will teach that calf to
drink or break his neck. The calf
doesn't know of this resolve, and he
glares at you in a stupid fright across
| the stable. He was not aware that he
was the cause of your downfall, and
wonders ignorantly what is the matter.
You don't explain it to him, but furi-
ously catch him by the ears, look back
over your shoulderaa t the milk pail,
aud back up toward it, dragging the
calf after you. The calf is out of wind
aud you haven't d particle of grace left
in your heart. You are astfide the Calls
