Or. Jagell on Hydrophobia.

A Polish physician, DR.. Prince
Ignace Jagell, who has studied the
nature and treatment of hydrophobia
since 1858, attempts to prove that
Pasteur's method is based on a false
principle. DR.. Jagell does not believe
that virus from a rabbit, an animal
which is not naturally subject to hydro
phobia, can ever be a preventive
against the disease. He is further
more of opinion that there is a differ
encc between the bite of a mad wolf or
dog directly inflicted on the human
body and a bite which reaches the
body after passing through clothing, il
being demonstrated, according to DR..
that the wounds in the latter
case are harmless. All of Pasteur's
patients who died Of hydrophobia had
received direct bites. The Prince
states that in the course of his practice
he has successfully treated with an in
fusion of the bark of sptrga Hipendula
lightweight persons bitten by mad
wolves and dogs.-V tensbi Kestnik.

Queer Facts and Figures.

If there were any soundness in the
statistics of Mr.. 2. S.. Lamas, who is
stated to be ar economist of great re-
pute, and who is certainly an indus
trious compiler of figures, the English
people can no longer boast to be, or
be jeered at as being, the greatest
beef-eaters in the world. According
to the economists computation, the
annual consumption Of beef in Europe
amounts to As pounds per head of the
population in a year. The Austria
lians consume $50 pounds a man and
the Americans 100 pounds, while the
other great continent of Argentine
Grom which MI. Lamas hails) eats
level with Australia. At this rate
there must be a very great number of
people in the world who get along
without eating beef at all. But the
calculations are based on one which is
yet more extraordinary-namely, that
on the whole globe the total head of
cattle is forty-seven millions and a
half, or about an OK and a half for ev-
cry one in Great Britain and none at
all for anybody else. Still, facts are
facts and figures are tigures.-St.

AMERICAN GIRLS.
How They Might Easily Become the Most
Useful Women in the World.

How They Might Easily Become the Most
Useful Women in the World.
During the last summer, it was
stated that there were more than
twenty camps in the Adirondacks
in which the cooking, fishing and all
the work incident to a life in the woods
were done wholly by women; the man
of the party usually being an invalid.
or the aged father who acted as chap
eron. In some cases these camping
parties consisted Of young girls under
the care of their teacher; artists, or a
family who preferred the free, simple
life in the woods to that of a costly
summer hotel.
The noteworthy point in this matter
is the skill and promptness with which
American women of the better class
can set themselves to cook, build fires
and furnish a tent comfortably with
light resources.
This kind of ''handiness" is a gift
much more likely to be called into use
In a woman's ordinary life than either
great talents or genius. European ma
tons, in the education of girls, recog-
nize this fact, and give them the basis
Of knowledge with which they can
qualify themselves to be useful wives,
mothers, nurses and housekeepers En-
glish girls Of the highest rank are
taught domestic arts; in Germany they
are trained to be cooks and h%ousekeep-
ers; and it is common now, in every
European country, for young ladies to
take what is called an ambulance
course, and learn the proper care of
the sick, bandaging of wounds, treat
ment of casualties, etc.
Two generations ago, American girls
received a careful household training.
II wish Nelly said Mrs. Washington,
ito be a helpful woman"
Now, however, the popular faith in
the ability Of aclever American woman
TO practice any art when necessary
without training in it, has almost done
away with domestic education. A girl
of fifteen is usually wholly occupied
with her books and her amusements.
With the natural gifts Of a nimble
brain and def fingers, the American
girl with proper training would be-
come the most useful woman in the
world Youths Companion.

Trying to Get Miss Brown.

A telegraph operator in Milwaukee
was n day trying to call up an office
In a small town in the interior of the
State, where the instrument was pre-
sided over by a woman.
He was about giving up in despair
when the operator in another small
town a few miles distant from the first
licked out the query:
"What in Heavens name do you
wantp'
Il want Miss Brown at Burgyille."
replied the Milwaukee man. II have
been trying to get her for the last half
hour"
THAT is nothing" came the reply.
''There is a young fellow clerking in a
dry-goods store there who has been
trying to get her for the last three
years, and he has not succeeded yet.
Do not get discouraged. - Chicago

HOME LESSONS.


A Plea for IN Aboilshmeat Of h Cruss
Method OF Teaching.
It was reported last year that home
lessons in the public schools would be
done away with in a great measure
this year. Nevertheless, they have al
ready begun in some schools, and are
likely to increase as the months roll on
and examination time approaches.
The consequence will be that when the
school sessions are over at the opening
Of the summer vacations many OF the
pupils will be broken down mentally
and physically, and good marks will
have been earned at the expense OF
ruined health. And the teachers as
well as the pupils will be used up in
the attempt to cover too much educa-
tional ground in a given space Of time,
and substitutes at different portions oil
the year will play a prominent part in
endeavoring to impart instruction to
over-crowded young minds.
1t is time that this cruel method OF
teaching by e of home lessons
was discontinued in the public schools.
The time that the growing child has
out of the school-room should be de-
voted to recreation, not to study. and
we are not certain that the introduce
ton of the elective system in all
grades in the school above the pri-
mary ones would not be q good thing
for both teachers and children. Why
should pupils who have only a limited
time to spend in acquiring an educa-
ton be compelled to devote a great
many hours to studies which will be
of no practical value to them when
they have gone into the workshop or
the counting : o Of general
knowledge in this age Of newspapers
and books, every intelligent person
who can read can acquire a sufficient
amount after they have left school,
and it is worse than useless to load the
immature brain and the undeveloped
mind with a mass of matter for which
1t has no especial fondness, and which
will be remembered, if at all, so
vaguely that it will be like Cassio's
recollection after he had looked upon
the wine when it was red.
Away with home lessons then, say
We. Life is too short for such non
sense. There is no time saved by al
tempting too much, as many an inva-
lids bed and insane hospital can tes-
tify. Let u children have healthy
bodies and minds, even if they do not
know that Wordsworth wrote the SIX
cursion," and can not paraphrase it for
an admiring audience. Home lessons
have got to 60 with the pale, lantern
jawed student, VINO used to light him
self to an early grave by burning mid
night oil.
See that this reform is brought about,
superintendent, supervisors and mem
bers of the school committee, and do
not tell us that children break down
because they are i~njudiciously fed at
home. The bad feeding is in the pub
lie schools. and it is a good deal like
the stuting of the Strasburg goose. 1t
produces a diseased organ.-Boston

Such as the outer world denies!

Recall how rapidly they flew!
All, precious DAYS! o, happy boy!

In many things, still others are

They almost I'LL me with despair!
Those grand old mountains still | see,
Just as they we're, in verdure clad
The house, the creek, the stately tree
But Oh. where are the friends | had?
Alas. they're scattered far and wide!
What few are left are old and gray,
For many long, long since have died,
And others yet are far away

Sweet mother! long since passed away
Your sOrrowing son, alone and sad,
Weeps DER your hallowed grave to-day
Dear father, too, whose long, long sleep
A parents love has still denied
HIS child-behold, in me who weep,
That babe, deserted when you died!
Though still a stranger to your boy,
From whom SO early forced to part
No power on earth could ser destroy
The 6liai y~earnings of my heart!

Upon your lonely son to-day!
