To Prevent Rabies.

More than half a century ago French
chemist and surgeon declared that "chlorinc
has the power of deeomposing and destroy
ing the deadly poison of the saliva of the
mad dog" The truth of that statement has
been reaffirmed repeatedly by physicians and
others since it was then published, but is evil
IDENTIFY known by few people. The remedy is
prepared and applied as wash by dissolving
two tablespoonful Of chloruret Of lime in
half pint of water, and with it instantly
and repeatedly bathing the bitten part. The
liquid is absorbed and the poison decomposed.
DR.. Worthington, of Annapolis, recon-
mended years ago the giving of chlorine in
ternally and hypodermically. He says: ut
is a stimulant and astringent, in the first case
helping to raise the vital powers, and in the
second case lessening the rapidity of the cir.
culation, and retarding the dissemination of
the poison through the economy. If chloride
Of lime applied to the wound will decompose
the virus with which it comes in contact, it is
reasonable to assume that some of it will be
absorbed by the vessels and decompose tho
virus in the circulation. If this is fair
assumption it is plausible, practicable. and
possible to meet the poison within the system
and destroy it." The remedy above described
is so sheap, readily available and simple in
its application externally that no family need
be without supply ready for instant use. 1t
has been known to be effective when applied
within six hours after the infiction of tho
bite.-Chicago Times

their medicine bags point to the four poiAts

that he can at will thrust a birds. claw or a

A Volcano in japan.

A recent number Of The Japan Weekly
Mail contains a short account of a night as
cent of the active volcano Asamayama The
party left Karnisawa in the afternoon, and
commenced the ascent from the eastern side
about sunset. The sky was perfectly clear,
and the summit was reached an hour before
midnight. The wind, blowing from the south,
carried the sulphurous vapor away to the
northward, and thus the ascent was made less
uncomfortable. The party saw quite to the
bottom of the crater, which presented the ap-
pearancc Of furnace filed with glowing
Goals. The sound of the roaring, Kissing and
bubbling is described rs loud and awful. The
walls of the crater are Of light brown color,
and are composed Of successive layers marked
out with striking regularity, like the seats in
an ampitheatre. Allowing ten Of these layers
to each interval Of twenty feet, the depth
from the surface to the incandescent matter
would appear to be 900 feet The periphery
of the crater is about half mile although
the japanese calculate it at two miles and
half.--Boston Transcript

The Marking System.

variably DONE great deal of property would
be saved and a great deal of trouble would be
spared For the sake of saving trouble to
others, if for no other reason, all of ones
handkerchiefs collars and Undertaking
should be plainly and permanently marked.
A bottle of indelible ink is cheap, clean pen
still cheaper, and bright, sunny day or
hot fiat iron will complete the business. Al
ways keep on hand a stick of linen tape,
written over its whole length with your
name, or the names of your family, ready to
be cut off and sewed on to stockings and such
other articles ASIDE not afford a good surface
on which to mark.
Then there are the paper patterns, of which
every mother has a store. On the outside of
each, as it is tied up, the name of the pattern
should be plainly written. There are the
rolls of pieces, which may contain good
deal not apparent from the outside. All these
hidden mysteries should be indicated. The
winter things, which are wrapped up and put
away for summer, and the summer things,
which are wrapped up and put away for win
ter, should all be in labeled packages, and

The Selfridge torpedo-that in general use
is tin can filled with about sixty pounds
of guncotton, which has the explosive force
of 300 pounds of powder. 1t is exploded by
electricity, and makes noise enough to fright
en- an enemy's ship into showing her heels,
though in the water the sound is of course
subdued and nearly lost. Some of the tor
pedoes, however, are far more terrible things
to see and hear of than this comparatively
simple specimen. They are made in some
cases twenty-five and even thirty feet in
length, and filled with SO much powder, gun
cotton, dynamite and nitro-glycerine, not to
mention various combustibles of the same
agreeable nature. When it is necessary they
are set off to spin through the water at
frantic rate of speed, generating internal heat
by the action OF a sort of paddle wheel, until,
just as they reach the Inflated vessel which
they are intended to annihilate, the whole in

of warning, and the unfortunate Eliza, Maud

Decline Of ChoaD Literature.

A gentleman in the book business holds the
opinion that cheap literature and cheap pub
locations are on the decline. He thinks that
the country has been glutted with the ten
and twenty cent books, and that the demand
for the next few years will be for higher
priced books. There is vast flood Of novels
constantly going upon the markets in VOL
umes that sell at 81 and $1.50. The editions
of such books by the ordinary writers do not
exceed 150O or 1900 copies each. If the lat
ter number is reached it is considered q large

possible for her on this day, and if the water
is to be brought, have the boys do it, Or else
