King Lud wig, Of Bavaria, is again
indulging in fantastic freaks of lido
cy. He refused TO attend the royal
family gathering at Christmas, and
during most of the time since then
be has secluded himself in his castle
of Hohenschwaugen. Now be abso-
lutely refuses to see the face Of any
human being. He will net even
give verbal orders to his attendants.
He expresses his commands oy
means Of writing and requires that
the replies shall also be written, and
that the services demanded shall be
performed invisibly. His meals and
all else that he requires must be left
iu an ante-chsmber. from which
every person must retire before the
king enters. II is hinted that his
insanity is becoming acute.

been done at the Indictment OF some

Those American scientists, and
Others, who have been so deeply in
terested in the practical application
Of Pasteur's discovery and who have
had confidence in the correctness of
the principles on which inoculation
is based, will greatly rejoice that
there has at last been what seemed
to be test case. Three children IA
some town in France were bitten by
dog that gave every evidence Of
being afflicted with hydrophoDia
The parents of two Of the children
refused to have them treated by any
other method than simple cauteriza-
ton. The third child, the one most
severely bitten, was taken to Paste'lr
for treatment. He inoculatsd the
patient after the manner so frequent
ly and fully described, successiyely
for eight days. The two children
who were not treated by Pasteur
have since died in the convulsions
of hydrophobia, while the one treat
ed by inoculation is in good health,
and gives no evidence whatever OF
being threatened with the dreaded
malady.
This is the first of all the many
cases treated By the Paris chemist
where there is an absolute certainty
that the dog infiicting the injury
was really suffering with rabies 1t
seems TO be as reliable test case as
any Pssteur Is likely 10 have for
some time. The three children 10
question were bitten by the same an
Imal at the same time, but as IN so
many instances the dog was killed
Immediately after doing the injury,
snd there was the usual claim that
he was merely vicious brute As
stated above, the two victims that
received only the ordinary treatment
were soon seized with hydrophobis
of the most pronounced type. and
die0. The third one received the
inoculation treatment and will IN
all human probability be saved
This case leaves even no room Tor
an argument from those who declare
hydrophobia to be produced BY fear
gradually prostrating the nervous
system. The children bitten in this
case were all too young to under
stand anything about the disease,
and when they received the injury
were affected by it only in the same
way as if they had been hurt in any
other manner. Fear of hydrOphO-
bia had nothing to do with these
cases, and Pasteur certainly appears
to have achieved a victory which
will go far toward making his dis
covery acceptable to the scientific
world. This will be very much
gained, for the skeptics have been
very numerous.

Grant-Twair-Harris.

The following paragraph is from
General Grants book. The Genera
Harris referred to by General Grant
and Mark Twain, is General I. A
Harris, late Assistant Secretary o.
State under Governor Blackburn, o.
Kentucky.
From war paper by Mark Twain In the Deeem
ber Century.1
The rest of my war experience was
of a piece with what | have already
told of it. We kept monotonously
falling back upon one camp or an
other and eating up the country.
= The last camp We fell back
upon was in hollow near the vii
lage of Florida, where | was born
in Monroe county. Here we were
warned one day that Union Col
onel was sweeping down upon Us
with a whole regiment at his heels.
This looked decidedly serious. Our
boys went apart and consulted then
we went back and told the other
companies present that the war was
a disappointment to US and We were
going to disband. They were get
ting ready themselves to fall back on
some place or other. and were only
waiting for General Tom Harris, who
was expected to arrive at any mo-
ment; so they tried to persuade US
to wait a little while, but the ma
jority of us said no, we were accus-
toned to falling back, and didn't
need any of Tom Harris's help; we
could get along perfectly well with
out him, and save time, too. So al
most half of our fifteen, including
myself, mounted and left on the in
slant. An hour later we met Gen
eral Harris on the road <
Harris ordered US back, but we told
him there was a Union Colonel COM
ing with whole regiment in his
wake, and it looked as if there was
going to be disturbance, as We con-
cluded to go home. In
time came to know that Union
Colonel, whose coming frightened us
out of the war and crippled the
Southern cause to that extent-Gen-
eral Grant. | came within few
bours of seeing him when he was as
unknown as myself.

a hind to the dangers of being run. These
ruses. of course, lead to delay, for no sooner
do the huntsman and whips discover that
the tufters are not running a warrantable
! deer than they are stopped, and the search
| begins afresh. All this, however, and much
more, is lost to those who lounge upon the

Precipitous hills, deep coombs and end
less coverts commend themselves TO the

jump, but the moor has difficulties of its
own to be surmounted before q stranger can
live with hounds. The rider must be pre-
pared TO descend by steep and winding
paths, to Chamber up hills, and to avoid the
boys, and this he will scarcely do without a
pilot. When, therefore, one comes to see
how much hunting the average visitor
misses, and how unsuitable Exmoor is for
riding. from an up-countryman's view, the
west country folk may be pardoned for ask
ing. as they often do, what is it that brings
such swarms of visitors. OF late years wild
stag hunting has become fashionable, how
ever, and the crowds that annually collect
at least put something in the pocket of
hotel and clearinghouse keepers. 1t is only
a short season after all. By the time the
end of October ONE round stag hunting
has finished, visitors nave packed up and
departed, only a few remaining for hind
hunting, which is generally productive of
the best sport.-Phaadetphid Record.

A FAMOUS HUNTING GROUND.
Chasing the Wild Stag in One of the
Worlds Notable Forests.

No hunting ground ever brings the sports
man face to face with such scenery as that
in The forest of Exmoor. Having gained
the summit of the hill that seems to be the
l%oftiest of all, the climber only finds thar
n still higher yet remains to be sur
mounted but when the summit is once
reached, the view is something to be seen
and remembered. From Hawcombe Head
the eye wanders over the lovely sub-Alpine
scenery toward Porlock, with its well-tiiled
and fruitful valleys and its background of
blue water, the latter appearing so close as
to make ii seem an easy task to cast a stone
into 1t from the summit of the hill. The
operations of Lord Ebrington's pack, be-
sides offering a pleasant dav to those who
long for something beyond the mere rou-
tine of walking and driving. obtainable at
most holiday resorts, are full of interest to
any n with a taste for or a knowledge of
woodcraft. The finding of the deer by the
tIfters is not the first stage in the proceed
ings. Long before the hounds appear tie
harborer hes done his work. In the early
hours of the morning he is abroad, and his
practiced eye has overlooked nothing that
can help to assist HIM in his search. The
n in which q turnip has been bitten
Will tell him whether a sfag or Z hind has
passed that way; if he comes across q slot
Ii. e, the footprintl ne will, from long ex-
perlence, make a tolerably accurate guess
at the sex and age of the deer. To talk to
a harborer and TO learn something oil his
duties is to add fourfold to the pleasure OF
hunting the wild stag; while to leave ones
hunter on the hill and to follow the tufters
up and down the almost interminable COW
ertS is, TO most men, to embark in a new
form of sport. The fox is scarcely more
deserving of being styled cunning than the
deer. To find q warrantable stag is one
thing, to force him into the open is an
other. While being run by the tufters he
will kick up 8 young stag, and, crouching
in the resting place OF the latter, will force
him to bear the brunt Of the chase; nor
will the hunted animal be above exposing
