Notes on Language.

The expression ain good form" or
"good form" is taken bodily from
French law (see Littre's Dictionnaire)
and means that all technicalities have
been duly observed. The opposite is
expressed by the English phrase dad

cant term and is applied rather indis-
criminately.
The question why is silent in often,

If a section of the spinal cord OF o
rabid dog be inserted into the brain Of
a rabbit by trephining the latter animal
becomes mad in about fifteen days; and
when the virus from this rabbit is
transmitted to second, and from Sec
ond to third, and so on, by the same
method of incubation, the rabies soon
becomes more and more pronounced,
and the developing or incubation period
becomes shorter and shorter, until at
the end of fifty inoculations most Sc
we're form of madness results in about
seven days. The virus from the last
rabbits is of great purity and of invari-
able strength. so that similar Sec
tions of spinal cord may therefore
be relied upon to produce exactly
similar effects. 1t has been further
shown that the yirulence of the pieces
of cord slowly and quite regularly dis
appears when kept in dry air, and re-
mains unaltered when preserved in car
bonic acid gas. An understanding Of
these principles makes it possible to
have constantly on hand hydrophobic
poison varying in strength from harm
less mildness to deadliest virulence. 1t
is upon these graduated poisons that
Pasteur depends for his remarkable
method of protracting animal system
from hydrophobia. Experimenting
first with dogs, little meat broth con-
tanning weak virus was injected under
the skin the first day, and was followed
daily by injections of increasing viru-
lence-that is, preparations from cord
of shorter exposure to air-until in a
few days the fresh or strongest virus
was used, when it was demonstrated
that without injury the animals had be-
come entirely refractory to rabies from
bites -even when inflicted before treat
mentor NEGOTIATIONS of any degree.
The method was first tried on human
subject in July, 1885, when immunity
was conferred within ten days on a boy
considered to be in great danger. Since
then several hundred bitten persons
have been treated, and thus far the
only failure to prevent hydrophobia
has been in a single case where the
NEGOTIATIONS were attempted too late

The Bayaderes -The Egg Dance at
BarOda.

Nautches, or dances of bayaderes,
says a writer in London Queen, are
one of the fayorite entertainments of
the rich in India and the indispensable
accompaniment of every religious cere
mony or festival. Sometimes, on great
occasions, the head of the house invites
Europeans of his acquaintance to wit
ness the performance of these girls,
which, with their pale compilations and
large black eyes, look lovely in their
rich costumes, covered with diamonds.
However, one must not look in these
entertainments for dance in the gen
eral acceptation of the word posturing,
attitudes, and songs constitute the
official nautch of the Hindoos. On
those occasions the demeanor of the
bayaderes is quite correct, and their
costume is more modest than that Of
women in general. At the Guicowars
court at Baroda the bayaderes have per-
feet liberty to go wherever they please.
They enter the Kings apartments, seat
themselves on the floor, and converse
boldly with persons af the very highest
rank. This singular privilege accorded
to the nautchis is of some service, their
presence making MP, in some slight de-
gree. for the absence Of the ladies shut
up in their zenana.
A dance infinitely more graceful and
interesting than that executed by the
Nautch girls is the egg dance. The
dancing-girl, dressed in the ordinary
costume of the women Of the people--a
bodice and very short sarri--carries on
her head wicker wheel, placed per-
fectly horizontal, Round this wheel
threads are attached at equal distances,
which are provided at their extremi-
ties with slip-knot kept open by
means of glass bead. The dancing girl
advances toward the spectators, holding
basket filled with eggs, and, to the
measure of a monotonous and jerkv
strain of music, begins turning herself
round with great rapidity. Then, seiz-
ing an egg, she inserts it one of the
slp-knots. BY means of centrifugal
action, the thread holding the egg is
frightened and placed in straight line
with the corresponding spoke of the
wheel One after the other the eggs
are thrown into the slip-knots, and
form horizontal aureola around the
head of the dancing girl. At this point
the dance becomes more and more
rapid, and the least false step, the
slightest stoppage, would smash the
eggs one against another. The eggs
are then withdrawn one by one in the
same manner in which they have been
fixed, and this second operation is the
most difficult of the two.

A Western Story from England.

It is possible that our own bartend-
ers, who are generally young ladies',
take mental note of the peculiarities
of their customers. We doubt, how
ever, whether they go so far in that di-
rection as the liquor-servers OF the
States, Of whom remarkable stories
are told. An old sheet of brown
wrapping paper, on which q certain
bartender had kept his memoranda, has
come to light. A few of the entries
were as follows:
Little cross-eyed man, sometimes gets
hot, but takes stand off peaceably.
Jim, checked shirt, two guns.
Owes $l1. Paid 90. Can't be pressed.
Long-legged galoot from the Gunni-
son. Always wants to fight, Licked
him l1'111111 times, and got
money every time.
Henry Barber Promises, but never
comes down unless jumped on. Give
him drinks when he asks hard.
Tuttle Family-Wont stand refusal,
and never asks second time. Pay once
in while.
Old Man Beebe--Killed three bar
keepers and crippled one.
lineup Tom Big buffer.
Sam Coon-Shot in the neck by q
Denver bartender, and can't get over
it, Better let him alone.
The Lumleys-Always take what
they want and smash things, but always
pay.
Jim-Likes to jump on bartenders.
Never hurts.
Bill Bledder- Throw guns on bar
and calls for big drinks. Lick hia
every time he tries it.
Hank Smith Needs killing. Better
watch.
The man was very sympathetic, and
be had more than 800 Of his customers
down in this way. He knew the whole
paper by heart, and knew exactly what
to do when customer came in.-PaN
