Nowhere in the civilized world is it

Although it is often told, still there

are proper objects of admiration and
have many times filed up a dreadful

TREATMENT OF RABIES.
How HOang-nan Seems to Prevent the
Evolution of the Rabc Virus.

How HOang-nan Seems to Prevent the
Evolution of the Rabic Virus.
According to the Gazette lMedicaIe de
Nantes, twenty-four cases of rabies
have been treated with hoang-nan by
DR.. Barthelemy and several other
medical men of that city or of the de-
partment. The first case so treated was
in the month of March, 1882, the last
in April, 1885. Ten times, at least, the
bites, which were most frequently
multiple, were situated on the hands,
once on the hand and on the face. In
the majority of cases cauterization was
completely omitted, or practiced
several hours or even several days
after, with agents little active, such as
liquid ammonia or q solution of car
bolic acid. Two of the patients, who
were closely observed by DR.. Bar
thelemy-viz., man of thirty
and lad of sixteen-presented
symptoms of rabic mania: per-
sistent insomnia, anxiety, nocturnal
agitation, the desire to run, halluci-
nations, barking, etc. However,
none of these persons felt hydrophobia,
nor have any of them, to this date, sue
cumbed. The duration of this pre-
ventive treatment was, on an average,
twelve days. The total dose of the
powder of hoang-nan ingested during
this time varied in adults from six to
eight grammes. twas scarcely neces-
sary to go beyond one gramme per day
to obtain the physiological effects OF
the neutrality-suspicious. of the re-
fexes, cramps, rigidity, slight trismus.
The maximum dose was arrived at pro
gressively, and in some cases the treat
ment was terminated by gradually de-
creasing doses. From the above cases
the author deduces either that rabies is
communicated much more rarely tC
the human species than is generally ad
mttcd, or that the hoang-nan, admin

DEATH-BED VISIONS.
One of the Most Pleasing Fancies Swept
Away by Science.

One of the Most Pleasing Fancies Swept
Away by Science.
1t is better to know the truth, DR.. 7.
d. Spencer has observed in reference
to the phenomena of death, than to
cherish a belief, however pleasing it
be, founded on error. The traditions
and superstitions of the past have led
to popular belief in the theory that
the beatitic visions which often come
to the dying are momentary views
of those mysteries hitherto unknown;
but science, with its iconoclastic hand,
has swept away the pleasing fancy, and
in its place has constructed fabric
founded on analogy. An9sthetcs and
asphyxia from drowning or charcoal
fumes often produce disordered fancies
exactly like those preceding death, and
the natural inference is that they result
in both cases from one and the same
cause. During the last moments of
life the mind gradually loses cognizance
of external surroundings and is rapt
in sclf-contemplation. Though still
in a semi-conscious condition, the
weeping of friends and the voices
OF attendants fall upon dull ears.
The eye-lids are closed, the pupils
slightly contracted and rolled upward
and inward. The dying man has for
gotten the present, for he is living in
the past. One by one the events of a
whole life appear, its joys and sorrows
perchancc long since forgotten, rise
before him in startling distinctness,
and then disappear in the swiftly NOV
ing panorama. The familiar faces of
the friends of his youth are thrown upon
the mental retna, their CHEEKY voices
reverberate in his ears, and the thought
of meeting these friends in the near
future is perhaps his last conscious inn
preston. As this drowsiness creeps
over the system, these images, nodded
from the past, become as realities to
the disordered imagination. The germs
from which originate these strange
combinations have probably been lying
dormant for years in the registering
ganglia of the brain. "-Ar5ansas Trap

TREATMENT OF HORSES.


Simple But Effective Means for Promotln G
Their Usefulness.
There is difference in horses as well
as in people. Some are more intelligent
than others. Take colt that comes
from a good strain of horses and handle
it and pet it when young, as we do
children. 1t will soon know who its
best friends are, and express its mind
often by coming to them and fondling
about them. A horse will always shun
and try to keep away from a person
that has abused him. He can be quieted
more easily, when scared and excited,
by a friend holding him by the bride
and talking kindly to him. Hold his
face close to yours and fondle and pat
him on the face and call him by name.
A horse can be kept fat easier than
he can be kept poor. Get him in good
condition, and feed and water him
regularly, and take proper care of him,
and he won't eat as much as poor
horse will. A horse that has been
properly kept will live ten or fifteen
years longer than one who has been
poorly kept, and be useful all the time.
We have horse thai is twenty -four
years old and he never was sick an
hour in his life and has been doing
light work all spring and summer. We
drove him to town few days since
and left him an hour or more. When
came in sight, two squares, off, he
whinnied. When got in the buggy
and turned his head toward home he
capered off just as he did when he was
four years old. Horses are very much
attached to their homes. They have
been known to travel forty and fifty
miles alone to get back to their old
homes, and swim river if it is in the
wav.
Horses should always be taken care of
by the same person as far as possible.

ST. URSULA'S CHURCH.
The Romantic Legend Told in Connection
With an Ancient Sanctuary.

With an Ancient Sanctuary.
A unique feature of the sights of
Cologne, and on a par with the portion
of the relics called sacred exhibited at
Aix-la-Chapelle, is the Church of St.
Ursula, with the bones of its eleven
thousand virgins. Ursula was royal
English maiden, daughter of one of the
little Kings Of the heptarchy, who, not
liking the attentions of the son of one
of the other Kings. fed to the continent,
and even went to Rome, followed by an
ever-increasing crowd of good young
girls and by few admiring cavaliers.
When they came back to Cologne her
virgin followers had increased to eleven
thousand. Here occurred their MARTYR.
dom, but regarding the mode of it
historians differ. Some assert that
they were slain during the persecution
of the Emperor Maximin, while a
scarcely visible pamphlet sold at a high
price in the church states that they
were slaughtered by the hosts of Attila
returning from an unsuccessful raid
into France. st. Ursula died in the
midst eXhorting the others to consistency.
The present church was built in the
eleventh century on the spot where
Ursula fell The arrowhead which
pierced her chaste bosom is still shown
among the relies, and the gloomy old
edifice is filled with the bones of her
supposed companions, crammed into
ancient stone sarcophagi, or arranged
i'm queer patterns around the walls and
in the arches. Here it is all thigh
bones. There, innumerable skulls in
cases, each one grinning from its en-
broidered cover through a quaint pane
of glass, the front of the case suggest
ing a window in house of the Queen
Anne style. The embroidery was done
hundreds of years ago by society OF
noble and highly devout ladies of CO.
logne. The martydom of st. Ursula
was a favorite subject for the old
painters, among them Memmling of
Bruges. who thought that the idea of
eleven thousand virgins came from
"Undecimllla, the name of one of
them. The advocates of the suggestion
have abated their ardor of late years.
First it was eleven virgins, and no mis-
take. Then it was eleven thousand
faithful women. Now it is eleven
thousand martyrs, simply, while the
time will come when it will be only a
certain number of thousand persons
from an ancient graveyard. Cor. San

Where the Apostles Rest.

Church authorities state that the re-
mains of the Apostles of Christ are now
in the following places: Seven are in
Rome, namely, Peter, Philip, James
the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Mat
thias and Simon. Three are in the
kingdom of Naples-Matthew at Saler-
no, Andrew at Amalf, and Thomas at
Ortano. One is in Spain--James the
Greater, whose remains are at st. Jago
de Compostella. OF the body of st.
John the Evangelist, the remaining one
of the twelve, there is no knowledge.
The evangelists Mark and Luke are
also in Italy-the former at Venice and
the latter at Padua. ST. Paul's remains
are also believed to be in Italy. Peters
are, of course, in the church at Rome
which is called after him, as are also
those of Simon and Jude. Those of
James the Lesser and Philip are in the
Church of the Holy Apostles; Bartholo-
news in the church on the island in
the Tiber called after him; Matthias
are in the Santa Maria Maggiore, under
the great altar of the renowned Basil
ica.-C Christian Union.

"A lot of tipsy fellows in st. Paul
painted the nose of one of their number
a bright red and he walked into the
hall of the Salvation Army there for a
joke, while the others took back seats
to see the fun. But the Salvationists
at once saw in him fit subject for
their prayers, and they prayed and
sung over the fellow until he became
very penitent, and apparently on the
high road to conversion, to the disgust
of his companions Paul Press.
