Carey emerged from the cover of the table
rather crest-fallen, and ever after was not
apt to boast of deeds of valor in the pres
ence of Joe Martin.
The publication of the Davis MSS. was in
terrupted by the death of Rev. Robert Da-
Wis, to whom his father had given the copy
right; but Carey's newspaper still gave
him an occupation in Yorkville. His ca
reer, however, was downward. Yielding to
a fatal love of drink, frequent and disgrace
full scenes of debauchery sank him below all
former associates. His wife, worn out with
his dissipation and worthlessness, left him
and went back with her children, to their
friends in East Tennessee. She afterwards
Joined the Shakers, and gave her children to
the care of relatives while she devoted her
self to her sect. In 1915, Carey, too, left
Yorkville, to return to his native State, and
further know no trace of him.

Carey, in his day, did a good work in
York. The enterprise begun by him has been
we'll sustained by others. York has always
had good reason to boast of her "Weekly."

HYDRoPHoBIA.-M.P Pasteur, who has al
ready made so many valuable discoveries
in connection with diseases that are propa-
gated by germs, has, in his own name and
that Of his assistants, NM. chamberlain and
Roux, communicated to the French Acade-
mics of Sciences and Medicine the results
of his experimental inoculations with the
virus of rabies. He finds that the virus
may remain in the nervous tissues without
manifestation for three weeks, even during
the summer months. Virulence is manifest
not merely in the nervous tissues, but in the
parotid and sublingual glands. The granu-
lations observed in the fourth ventricle,
when in state of virulence, are finer than
the granulations in the fourth ventricle when
in healthy state, and they can be colored
by means of analine derivatives. The virus
of rabies injected into the veins or beneath
the skin produce paralytic rabies, while
inoculations into the spinal cord of the
brain produce the paroXysmal form. 1nOc-
ulations with quantities of the virus too
small to be effective, have no preservative
influence against subsequent inOculations,
whether the virus is propagated by means
of the nervous tissues or by absorption
through the surfaces of the wound, has not
been ascertained. Finally, the experiments
have shown that the protective ''attenua-

or the nature of the virus varies in each
species of animals. BY passing the virus
through different animals, "cultures," or
varying qualities of virus, are obtained,
whose precise efectscan be predicted. Thus
q "culture" has been obtained which Ger
tainly kills a rabbit in five or six days, and
another which certainly kills guinea-pig
in the same time. Other things being
equal, the virulence varies inversely with
the duration of the incubation. NJ. Pasteur
and his assistants have good reason to be-
lieve that by means of a special culture
they have succeeded in making twenty dogs
absolutely proof against rabid inoculations.
NJ Pasteur, with his usual caution, asks
for little longer time before finally pro-
nouncing on the condition of the dogs
in question. TO devise means of making
the dog proof against rabies is, of course, to
devise means of almost certainly preserv-
ing man Gncluding children) from this
