'Ihcre are some curious cases among

called the eaf-tailed gecko. You see the
tail bulges cut sonn after leaving the

Bot this lizard has = more remarkable
method of escape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf.
The animal drops clumsiIy to the ground
and darts away among the locks, where
it attracts the attention of some of
hawks that are forever prowling around.
Immediately chase ensuee; the bird
gains, and is finally about to pounce
upon its prey, when all at once two liz
ards appear, one making off, while the
other dances up and down into the all

Gus way. so that the astonished bird
stops and looks. In the meantime the

that were hanging within two feet Of the

scream and frightened him away. In

pistol. A liberal supply still awaits his
return. aud the next time We are favored

My purpose in informing you Of this
occurrence is to try and stir up some feel
ing on the subject among the people ard
the police. 1t is a crying shame that a
city like Palatka, which has SO much to
justly boast OF, should be under the con-
troll Of gangs Of thieves, as it would seem
to be a, present and for long time past.
Almost every day some new robbery is
reported. but we seldom hear of an ar
rest. Women are terrified and property
stolen with impunity. What is the
trouble? Are the police incompetent or
are their numbers insufficient? Certain
it is that il one-half of the amount an

A Typical Case of Hydrophobia.

Some days ago a M. Ringeval, living
at Rueil, zeal Paris, was bitten by his
dog. The accident caused a general
hydrophobia scare in his neighborhood.
The fear of mad dogs became SO intense
he mayor recommended the townsfolk
to carry about them meat balls poisoned
with s~trychnine, which should be thrown
in the way of every unmuzzled dog. M.
R1ngcval was %inoculated every Day by
NJ. Pasteur, who expressed a confident
belief that he might yet be saved. As
for the unfortunate dog, he was shot,
and his remains were sent for examine
tion to a veterinary surgeon at st. Ger
main. who has made a report to the ef-
feet that the animal was not in the least
mad, but suffering from a gastric at
tack. and must have been very irritable
on that account.-M. T. Post.

DISEASES IN STABLES.
A Simple Precaution Neglected by Mar
Horse-Owners.


When we consider for a moment the
number of diseases of a contagious ma
ture to which horses are subject, and
the careless manner in which they are
exposed to the same, it is astonishing
that we do not have epidemics of this
kind oftener with our horses. To
fully appreciate the risk that is incurred,
we need only visit the city or country
towns on Saturdays or court days, and
see the number of horses of all kinds
and conditions that stand tied and al
most touching each other in every avail
able space about town, to say nothing of
the numbers that are packed together in
the public stables. The latter, as a
rule, are much safer from coming in
contact with disease than those outside,
for no sensible stableman would admit
an animal inside of his stable that
is affected with any kind of contagious
disease if he knew it; but it often hap
pens that neither the owner of the
horse nor the stablcman is aware of
tie disease until it is too late to remedy
the evil.
Contagious diseases of most virulent
character may be perpetuated for an in
definite length of time by feeding horses
in stalls where the disease has existed.
OF this kind we may mention CHAMBERS
and Spanish itch especially. Either of
those most fatal disorders may be con-
veyed to other horses by feeding in a
stall where horses suffering with them
have been kept. To destroy the virus,
take a pint of sulphuric acid and put
it in a bucket of water, and with an old
mop wash all parts of the stall, espe-
cially the trough and manager, as well
as the sides of the stall. Then put a
few pounds of stick sulpher in an old
iron pot, and stopping tho stable as we'll
as possible, burn it, SO rs to fumigate
the stable thoroughly, taking pre-
cautions against fire. 1t is 4 good pla2
to set the pot in a tub of water; then
whitewash with lime and carbolic acid.
This will protect them thoroughly

Queer Effect of a Snake Bite.
Jasper (Ga.) Special


The condition of MI. Sylvester Sans, a
well-known citizen of this county, excites
considerable interest. Two years ago Mr..
Sans, while walking over his farm, was
bitten by q rattlesnake. He Immediately
resorted to the native remedy in such cases,
whisky, of which he partook copiously.
Nothing more was thought of the matter
until six months ago, when Sans betrayed
symptoms of st. Vitus' dance. He is never
still, not eve in his sleep twitching his
muscles and moving in%cessantly. Later he
has developed violent symptoms, so much
so that he beats his wife and family and
whoever comes within reach. He now acts
like a man with q w%ell-defined case of
rabies, only, instead of barking, he makes a
r~attling sound. He has been taken to Can
ton Jail, where a strong guard can be kept
over him until the result of his case can be
reached.

Getting Trace of n Wealthy Brother and
Falling In Love with His Friend.

[Holyoke tMass) Special.l
There is little enough of romance in the
hard life of the mill operative, but an oc-
c~asional bit of sunshine penetrates these
hives of industry, and occasionally a heart
romance of pathetic tenderness is woven in
with the warp and wool of the loom. Such
a romance agitates chis busy city just now,
and the heroine is Marguerite Clansor, a
an employee of one Of the big Lyman cotton
mills. Maggie's story is curious enough to
form the plot of u German novel. Born in
the fatherland, when only five years old
her father and mother died, leaving her
friendless save for an elder brother. The
latter gladly accepted for Maggie the offer
of a home in New York in the family of
an uncle who was employed in one
of the Jersey mills; consequently the little
orphan was shipped across the Atlantic,
and was partially educated with her cou-
sins in the New York schools. Before reach
ing maturity her uncle suddenly died and
Maggie was obliged to face the world and
earn her own living. Her letters to her
brother had long been unanswered, and she
believed him dead or that he had entered
the army and was as good as dead to her,
Through an agency the young girl secured
employment in the mills here, and has
dragged out the weary existence of a
cotton-weayer for four years. A
young German, recently arrived here, ac-
cidentally heard her name pronounced,
and, recognizing it as the name of a play
mate in the fatherland, sought her out and
informed her that her brother, contrary to
her belief, was neither dead nor q soldier,
but a wealthy brewer in a distant part of her
native land. Communication with him was
established, and he has sent for his sister to
return home and share his prosperity, but
her German friend claims first place in her

Latest Remedy for q Cold.
rChicago Herald.1

Here is the latest remedy for a cold. 1t
may be good; it may be useless; but, at all
events, here it is: Eat no supper. On go
ing to bed and on rising drinka tumblerful
of cold water. For breakfast eat a piece of
dry bread Us large as YOU hand. Go out
freely during the morning. For dinner eat
the same as at breakfast. During the
afternoon take a sharp walk, or engage in
some active exercise that will induce
perspiration. Go without supper and re-
tire early. The next morning, if the pre-
scription works, you will be nearly well of
the cold, but almost dead of starvation.
