From the time of Aristotle to the
present, authority has been divided
with regard to hydrophobia. It is
looked upon by some as disease of
the Imagination; by others as pro-
duced b. a poison. Fear. no doubt,
has great deal to do with this dis
ease in man: probably more than has
the virus. Very few people escape
dog bite during their existence, yet
how few cases Of hydrophobia do we
personally know of Not every dog
that appears or is called mad. and
does some biting, is mad. In France.
where statistics are kept, twenty to
twenty-five cases occur each year-less
than two to a million of people. Bites
from rabid dogs prove fatal fifty
times out of hundred. There is no
doubt that death results from bites
from dogs that are not mad; fear and
Imagination have brought on symp-
toms of this awful disease called
nervous dydrophohia. If the pa
tent dies. it makes little difference
whether the dog was mad or not.
Many have died of hydrophobia
brought on by fright. a dog
bite has produced death whether
poisonous or not dead dogs
never bite. To give one case, two
brothers were bitten by the same dog,
one of whom went to Holland In ten
years he returned and learned of his
brothers death by hydrophobia He
was seized with similar symptoms and
died. No doubt many cases which
have been cured by the maidstone
are imaginary ones, although they
suffer just as much. A little faith on
the part of the patient and they are
well. NJ d. is right about muzzles;
they prevent a dog from perspiring.
simply because they are not made
properly. They should project some
distance beyond the tip of the nose.
and be deep enough to allow the dog
to open his mouth fully. But muzzie
him BY all means. and muzzle him the
year around. Warm weather is no
worse than cool weather for rabies.
except that they tthe Dogs will not
stand as much teasing. That hot
weather or climate is incompatible
to rabies is disproved by the fact of its
prevalence under the tropics in South

stroyed dogs by depriving them of
water and food and placing them In
the broiling sun; no rabies or anything
like it was produced. y
Experiments with an exclusive diet
of salt meat, putrid meat and water
only have failed to produce rabies.
At the Berlin Veterinary College, be-
ginning in the year 1915. for seven
years there were brought into that in
stitution on an average of thirty-one
rabid dogs; during the eight year. sixty
eight; during the ninth year, eighty
two. Early the next year-1S54-an
order TO muzzle all dogs was rigidly
enforced, and for that year only four
rabid dogs were brought in: the next
two years one each. and for five years
following not one. Similar results
were produced in Holland.

reason the disease is more prevalent in

by the dogs teeth, although many 9th

tween dog and man means. 1t dog
is without proper care and left to run

in the suburbs do, Jump and bark at
horses and brighten them. they should
be cared for properly lis said. the
law encourages boys to steal dogs and
take off their muzzles. Dogs have no
right on the street, unless attended. II
you have no yard for dog in which he
can be kept. you have no right to a
dog. And if YOU allow him to run
about among Your neighbors, then he
ought to be stolen or poisoned. 1t
would be a good plan to appoint sew
eral officers, each with furniture car
and plenty of rope, to gather the dogs.
BOYS dragging them about are apt to
be bitten. As to the means of dispos-
ing, drowning is the quickest and by all
means the least painful. Cor. Cincin-

THE SOLID SOUTH.
The Material Advance Of All Sections OF
the South.

The Material Advance Of All Sections of
the South.
The Republican and Independent
papers of the North are continually
saying that so long as the South is solid
for the Democracy the majority of the
Northern States will remain Republic
an; and they tell us that the best thing
for the Democratic party would be a
split in 1.-The Solid South But this
gratuitous advice has no effect, for every
representative man in the South knows
that Democratic success means material
progress and social harmony; whilst q
Republican victory would mean Just
the reverse. Which State would be ex-
pected by the Northern Republican
press to take the initiative in giving up
Democracy? Georgia? Well, that
should hardly be asked. even by the
most pronounced Republican. For
Georgia casts a Democratic majority
every year-a majority ranging from
forty-five to sixty-five thousand: and
certainly no State in the Union
is making greater strides in indus
trial progress than Georgia No, Georgia
will no: abandon certainty simply to
please the Republicans. VIII Alabama
try the experiment? To-day Alabama
is astonishing the world with It's iron
and coal, and the smoke of furnaces in
and around Birmingham reminds one
of Pittsburgh, and Birmingham is only
three or four years old. Capital is flow
ing into Alabama, and, despite the gen.
eral business depression, Industrial en-
terprises in that State are fairly BOOM
ing. Alabama is Democratic by an over
whelming majority, and no argument
can induce the people there to change
their politics. Texas is a great State. and
is growing rapidly in population and in
creasing in wealth. And the Lone Star
State has been awarded the Democratic
banner, because last year il gave Mr.
Cleveland majority of 1872, 900. There
is no probability of Texas changing her
politics because the Republican papers
urge the experiment of breaking the
Democratic soliditv. Virginia, North
Carolina and, indeed. all the Southern
States are reaping the benefits of their
vast resources, and it is true, as a rule,
that the larger the Democratic majority
the more progressive is the State.
Virginia has suffered under Repub-
ican rule and bossism oftener than any
other Southern State. But Virginia
will never more allow a man like Ma
hone to get possession of her affairs.

A SITTING HEN.

the Incubating Period.
Having ALWAYS lived in the city. my
knowledge of the hen had been con-
fined chiefly to the post morton condi-
ton: and Ike most other city men, L
had come to consider her a tough case.
But since coming to the country find
that this toughness of the body is only
a faint reminder of the iron-clad will
which governed it. ! refer now more
especially to the first hen l undertook
to break up''-the speckled one with
the lop comb. She remained on the
nest so faithfully that l couldn't help
commencing her industry: but my
neighbor-old Dobson-told me she
was sitting, and l had better ''break
her up He then gave me some sug-
cestions, which l acted upon forth
with.
Dobson told me that imprisonment
is too mild for bad cases and l had bet
ter try the cold bath. The apparatus
for this experiment is very simple, be-
ing merely a hen and bucket of wa
ter. She went in without protest but
as she came out thought there was
dozen of her l wiped off my shirt

Next day l bought a new hat, but about
two months later | found the old one

worse for exposure. but will do to scrub

AS the bath didn't work cure (and

During the day the thermometer
crawled up to ninety five degrees, and
when | returned at night hot and
cross. the cool and airy appearance of
the hen excited my wrath. One kick of
the box and she was on the nest again.
l limped rather perceptibly for day
or two after, but It was nothing Sc
rious.
She was not disturbed again that
night but next morning | proceeded to

knees. I began to bind two little sticks
to her legs in such a manner that

legs) she could not proceed with her
work. l got one nicely on. and con-
graduated myself that this little scheme
would do the business. Suddenly there
was general convulsion; and when
came to l was puzzled to know which

course to sticks, stones, brickbats and
whatever | could lay my hands on.

When next entered the barn the in
