PLAYED IT ON THE DoCToR.-"But the
thing that puzzles me" says prominent
physician, is to correctly diagnose the all
ment of a boy. l was called up the other
night by frantic father, who hurried me
from my blankets half dressed to see his
dying boy.
'"When I arrived at the suffering patient
the whole community was about him. L
saw that his was violent attack of diph-
liberia, and found it hard to say that it was
not a dangerous case. l remained some
time and then left, promising to call early,

went to his room. The bed was vacant and
my heart sank.
s'He is dead, I thought, and they have
taken him into the parlor and laid him out,
surrounded by the decorations of the room.

and going to the darkened window opened
the blind. AS / did so / looked out, and
there he was in his bare feet, bare-headed,
with his trousers rolled up above his knees,
playing horse in the street in pool OF cold
slush. He looked up at me, shut one eye
and called out, Hello, Doc, mammals gone
to the matinee. She SAID you could leave
your stuff on the dressing case.'"
OUTDOOR LIFE.-Man seems planned Tor
outdoor life in a mild climate, with just
q leaf or two of shelter for rainy day.
His nature will bend for time to the con-
ventional burdens of an artificial clvlllza'
ton, but replant him on first principles
the outdoor garden of life and his recupera-
tive forces will rebound with elastic energy
of steel springs relieved. Our fashionable
friends would lose caste were they. to use
their neighbor's secondhand clothing, but
they will daily try to purify their own
blood with their neighbors secondhand or
ten-times used breath, poisoned AS it always
is, even when exhaled by young and heal
thy persons. Man, in common with other
warm hearted creatures, generates surplus
of heat within his body. Outdoor sleepers
find that no matter how cold the surround
ing air may be, if dry, enough OF, the
outtiowing heat may be held back and re-
tanned by suitable clothing to sustain the
vital functions in health and comfort. IN
til domestic art can supply our lungs with
cool, first-mortgaged air, in warm rooms,
it's votaries will have an important prob
lem to solve. In the meantime out-camp-
ers and hovel dwellers will wear the best

SYMPTOMS OF HYDRoPHoBIA-The first
symptom of hydrophobia is sulky dis
position. The dog sinks away under bed
or lounge when in the house, or into the
darkest corner of the kennel, or under an
outhouse, and tries to escape notice. When
called out he comes unwillingly, and goes
back as soon as possible. He is very ner-
vous and frequently rearranges his litter
and skulks about from one corner to an
other. His eyes show the change that is
coming on. Dogs sick with any disease
are apt to seek dark corners, but in hydro
phobia they are invariably restless. The
next symptom is temporary hallucination.
He seems to hear something, and jumps up
and runs to the spot, or snaps in the vacant
air as if for fly, or stands in the attitude
ofeXpectation. Thissymptom is often over
looked, or if noticed, is ignorantly suppos-
ed to indicate return of health. Another
symptom is depraved appetite. He ceas-
es to take his natural food, and swallows
filth. The voice of the dog is then chang
ed, becoming hoarse and lower in tone, be-
ginning with single open bark, followed
by three or four diminishing hoWls from
the bottom of the throat The saliva which
at first is abundant, dries down and becomes
ropy. The dog tries to clear it from his
throat, and acts if he had bone fast in his
teeth. Many people have Deen fatally Dlt-
ten when trying to help dog get the i'm
aginary bone out. Following this comes
the paroxysms of fury which cause him
to fly at everything he meets and death fol-
lows from exhaustion if the disease is al
lowed to run its course.
A common and dangerous error about ny.
drophobia is that the dog cannot and will
not drink water. The dog drinks frequent
ly until the fatal paroxysms are upon him,
and even when he is unable to swallow he
will thrust his nose deep into the water in
his fierce desire to drink. He will often
obey his master and receive and give car
resses until the last stages, and will even
submit to punishment when liable at any
moment to fly into an ungovernable fury.
The poison will not usually remain inac-
tive more than three months in an animal
which has been bitten by a mad dog; but
unquestioned cases are on record where an
imals have gone mad eighteen months after
they were bitten. People dislike to kill
favorite dogs; but safety demands that an
animal that has been bitten by strange or
suspicious dog should be killed.-Neao York

A BOLD PREACHER.-The boldness of
Samuel Davies will be illustrated by sim
gle anecdote When President of Princeton
college, he visited England for the purpose
of obtaining donations for the institution.
The king George II.) had the curiosity to
hear preacher from "the wilds of Ameri-
ca" He accordingly attended, and was so
much struck with his commanding elo-
quence, that he expressed his astonish-
ment loud enough to be heard half way over
the house, in such terms as these: "He is

A Dog MIsER.-Dandie was NeWfOund-
land dog, belonging to gentleman in Edin-
burgh. 1t frequently had money given it,
because besides other proofs OF sagacity, 1t
would 60 to bakers and buy its own bread.
But Dandie received more money than his
needs called for and he took to boarding it.
This his master discovered in consequence
of the dog appearing one day with break.
fast roll when it was known that no one had
given him any money. Suspicion aroused,
Search was made in the room where the
dog slept. Dandie appeared quite uncon-
cerned until his bed was approached, when
he seized the servant by her gown and
tried to drag her away, and became so vio-
lent that his master had to hold him. Sew
enpence-halpenny was found hidden in the
bed. Dandie did not give up his saving
even after this; but he showed great dis
like for the servant who had discovered his
hoard, and in future was careful to select
different place of cOncealment.
Stories of dogs who carry money to shops
in order to obtain food are quite numerous;
but the following incident, which was COM
municated to the Bristol Mercury, is, if au-
thentic, probably nparalelled even in canine
records. A Bristol dog was allowed by
certain butcher to receive his meat on trust,
the butcher scoring each pennyworth sup
piled on board with piece of chalk. One
day our canine friend, observing the man
make two marks with the chalk instead of
one. seized another piece Of meat, and, de-
spite all the efforts of the butcher to detain
him, ran off home with both pieces in his
month";

To BE Crowned at samarcand.

London Daily News.
In letter from Baku, published by US last
month, our special correspondent said: There
is rumor which have heard from more than
one source, that the Emperor of Russia will pro-
ceed to Samarcand some time within the next
year or two, and there, in the ancient palace Of
Timour Lung, be crowned Emperor of Central
Asia or with some such title" Our Berlin
correspondent now informs us that letters just
received from st. Petersburg fully confirm this
statement. A report is generally circulated and
credited in the Russian capital that the Car
proposes to add to his many titles that of King
Of the Central Asiatic States The recent de-
csion of extending the transcaspian railway
line from Merv, by-way of Bokhara to Samar-
cand a distance of 800 kilometers, is naturally
also regarded as a direct forerunner of the pro-
jected coronation in Timours ancient castle.
