Mad Dogs and Mad Stones.

81 have handled thousands of dogs
and been bitten hundreds of times"
said William IL. Bowers, assistant SUI
perintendent of the city pound and
shelter, yesterday, land | have never
seen but two animals that were affiict-
ed with genuine hydrophobia. Dogs
are subject to fits, and these are mis-
taken by the ignorant for rabies.
So far this season, despite the excess
sive heat, no mad-dog cases have been
reported by the police. Several dogs
that had tits have been killed, but
none of the slaughtered brutes had
rabies.
There is no cure for hydrophobia,
either in dog or man. leading ply
stefan, who has made hydrophobia an
especial study. said yesterday. "The
phenomena of rabies are peculiar and
directly the opposite of the popular
idea. A hydrophobic dog froths at
the mouth. The disease is species of
pneumonia insanity and is caused by
heat and too violent exercise. The dog
loses his mind and has an uncontrolla-
bic desire to run at full speed in cir
Giles. The glands of the throat become
infiamed and swollen, so that degluti-
ton is impossible. That animal is con-
sumed with thirst, but his swollen
throat makes it impossible for him to
satisfy his craving. As the disease
progresses his eyes become CLASSY, his
tongue distends and turns dark blue in
color, his lips crack, and he finally dies
in violent commissions. The so-called
maidstone cures that are so often re-
ported are fallacious. There is no eff
cacy in stones of any sort when applied
to the. bite of rabid dog"
Although $4,000 houseless and starv-
ing dogs are annually taken to the
London house for lost dogs there has
never been genuine case of rabies
there since its foundation. twelve years
ago. In pamphlet published by the
managers of the home occurs the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"No one need fear dog that banks
savagely, bites at everything within
his reach, and froths at the mouth. He
is not mad. /"
There is foolish superstition about
the bite of mad dog" said Mr.. Bow
ers. persons who have been bitten
by dogs that afterward take fits or go
mad believe that the appearance Of
the disease in the animal means dan
ger to them. We have dogs brought
here every day to be killed that have
bitten people, and the invariable reas-
on for wanting them put out of the
way is that the person bitten may be
rendered secure from hydrophobia.
have been bitten often by so-caIled
mad dogs. If the wound is a slight
one let nature take its course. If
the bite is serious | cauterize the edges
of the wound with canstic and forget
all about the matter as tie wound be-
gins to heal. Philadelphia Times.

Adaptation OF the Dietary.

We are thus led to the next import
ant consideration. namely, that al
though broad rules or principles Of diet
may be enunciated as applicable to
different classes of people in general.
no accurate adaptation to the individ-
uai Is possible without n knowledge of
his daily habits and life, as well as to
some extent of his personal peculiari-
ties. No man, for example, can tell
another what he can or ought 10 eat.
without knowing what are the habits
OF life and work mental and bodily
OF the person to be advised. Notwith-
standing which. no kind of counsel is
more frequently rendered in common
conversation by one stranger with
another. than that which concerns the
choice of food and drink The adviser
feels himself warranted, by the expert
encc that some particular combination
OF nourishment suits his own stomach,
10 infer without hesitation that this
dish will be therefore acceptable to the
stomachs of all his neighbors. Surely
the intelligence of such man is as
slender as his audaeity and presump-
ton arc large. Only it may be assumed
that there is probably more difference
between stomachs and their needs
among different individuals than among
the inferior extremities referred TO for
the purpose of illustration. Thus, in
regard of expenditure of food, how
great is the difference between that of

OF the day at the work of a navy, as
an agricultural laborer in haryest-time.
or in draining or trencLing land, as a
sawyer, railway porter. or brick

ardent sportsman, as compared with
the expenditure of clerk who is seat
ed at the desk, of individuals engaged
in literary aud artistic pursuits. de-

The diagnosis of his case is different
from anything ever read or heard Of.
A plug of fibrinous matter has pass

his leg and stopped at the mouth Of a
smaller artery, at the upper part Of the
calf. This checked the circulation, and
the lower part of the leg became use
less and finally dead. Gangrene was a
natural consequence of stoppage Of
the circulation. The leg is parti-coior-
ed. A portion is black; the rest Of the
affected part is blue and red. Mr.. Sc

How to Quiet a Baby.

writes: II used all my arts of sooth-

and laughed and cooed, and watched
the light and the shadows until IL
o'clock came and went and II was
just at hand. Something must be
done, and could think of nothing,
unless possibly wet cloth on the head
might have soothing effect; at least
it would do no harm to try. l took a
piece of canton flannel, large enough
when doubled to cover the whole head,
and wrung it rather dry out of warm
water, then put it closely over the ba-
by's head SO as to cover both ears and
eyes. The effect was wonderful
There was brief struggle, then perfect
quiet, and in less than five minutes the
little fellow was sound asleep. Since
then have tried it again and again,
and always with the same quick result.
1t is simple remedy for sleeplessness
and well worth knowing and trying.
