PasteUr and Hydr0phobia.
A Paris letter says:

A Paris letter says:
Another remarkable proof Of the
efficacy of Pasteur's discovery is
furnished by the cases of three
children of Tourcoin, near the Bel
gian frontier. All were bitten by
the same dog, and there was a great
discussion among the towns people
whether to send the children to
Pasteur or not Finally compro-
mise was reached, and the child
that was most severely bitten was
sent to Pasteur, and the other two,
bitten only slightly, remained at
home. The wounds of all three
were cauterized Immediately after
the bites were inflicted The two
children that stayed at home died
of rabies last week, while the one
treated by Pasteur is alive and well.

Ho,o One Little Fetlo,p Got In.

There was one boy out of $50 who
did not have ticket of admission
to the newsboys' supper, given last
night by some members of the So
ciety of Friends in the hall of the
Sunday Breakfast Association, on
Twelfth street, near Vine. A port
ly man, who wore derby hat of a
size suited to any one of the small
ragged boys whom he watched
trooping into the building, stood
at the door and turned his shoulder
to the keen, snow.laden blast tina t
swept in with the boys. In the
doorway of an adjoining house
crouched an urchin beneath a der
by hat that would have been much
too large tor the portly man. 1t
was a good night for a warm meal.
The blast was an appetizer that
was not needed. The wind swept
waves of snow swiftly along the
smooth sidewalks and whitened
the breasts of pedestrians with the
flakes. When all of the boys had
crowded into the building, the ur-
chin under the disproportionately
large derby hat crept shiveringly
to the door.
Say, kin 1 go in ?" he asked in a
squeaky voice.
Have you got ticket ?" inquir,

Some people in West Orange

for e cock-6ght to be held on FRI

The proprietor of the place agreed
to the use of it for the match, but
his wife demurred,, and when the
cock4ighters arrived and got out of
their wagons, she advanced from
the house and salu&ed them with !:
You needn't get out, you loafers.

There were fourteen in the party,

THE HAVOC OF DRINK.
A Story By Father Burke.

Father Burke, in an address be-
fore the New Jersey Catholic Total
Abstinence Union, narrated the fol-
lowing, illustrative of the awful
havoc caused by strong drink:
81 was on mission, some years
ago, in a manufacturing town in
England. 1 was preaching there
every evening, and man came to
me one evening after a sermon on
this very subject of drunkenness.
He came ina fine man; a strap
ping, healthy, intellectual-lookin
man. But the eye was almost
buried in his head, and was gias-
sy. The forehead was furrowed
with premature wrinkles. The
hair was steel-gray. though the
man was evidently comparatively
young. He was dressed stability
scarcely shoe to his feet, though
it was a wet night. He came in
to me excitedly after the sermon,
but the excitement had something
of drink in it. He told me his his
tory. Il don't know he said,
that there is any hope for me
but still, as 1 was listening to the
sermon, l must speak to you. If l
don't speak to some one this heart
will break tonight
