Interesting Facts Concerning the Victims
of the Malady at Paris.

Interesting Facts concerning the Victims
of h Malady at Paris.
There were according to DR.. Dujardin-
Beaumetz. 10 deaths from hydrophobia
in Paris last year-a number higher
than in previous years; and yet the
number of stray dogs destroyed was also
higher, viz, 5000. OF these 10 persons,
10 were males and 4 females. The
youngest was a little girl 5 1-2 years;
the Oldest, a man of 63. The time of
incubation varied from 10 months lin
the case of a young man of 26) to 29
days(a child Of .11). In only one case
was the time of the bite unknown. Ex-
Guiding that and the exceptional case of
10 months, al average OF about 2 months
is arrived at for the time of incubation.
As to duration of the disease, the ex-
IRENE limits were l day and 8 days.
average 8 1-2 days. In no case were
theSower limbs bitten. In II cases out
of Is, the upper members were bitten,
especially the hand g times out of 12),
the wrist twice; in 6 other cases it was
the face 6 times)and the skull (once)
that we're attacked. Lastly, in IL cases
of the 10, the bite was that of a dog; in
the remaining case, it was a cat. 1,
will be noted that the statistics relate
only to deaths from hydrophobia.-N.

The immense quantity of peanuts
grown in Africa, South America and in
u own Southern States afford not only
a pleasant article of food but a very
large source of oil production. The
seed contains from forty-ive to fifty per
cent. of nearly colorless, bland, fixed
oil. not unlike olive oil, and used for
similar purposes; it is a non-drying oil,
which changes but little by exposure to
the air, and remains fluid even at sew
eral degrees colder than %thirty-two de-
grees, Fab. A very great quantity of
soap is manufactured from this kind OF
oil; indeed, some of the finest toilet
soaps imported from France are of this
materially. Y. Tribune.

FOR THEaFARM AND HOME.
Selecting iseed Potatoes.

Judging from experiments made at
the New York Experiment Station
last season farmers can increase the
yield of their potato fields considerably
by selecting their seed from the best
tubers grown in those hills which
yield the largest quantity In the ex-
pertinent alluded TO potatoes were
taken for seed from the most produc-
tive and also from dhe least produce
tive hill, and p!antedS the next spring
in regular and registered order. The
result was that the largest tubers from
the productive hill exceeded, by l6
per cent, the product of the largest
tubers from the least productive hill,
and the smallest tubers from the pro-
ductivc hill yielded slightlytmore than
the largest tubers from the\ least pro-

experiments would show similar re-
suits is uncertain, but as it will re-
quire only a little extra labor at the
season of digging for farmers to select
the seed for their following crop from
the most productive hills, it is an ex-
