A SINGULAR CASE.

The Symptoms of Violent Hydrophobia
Resulting From the Bite of a Water
Moceasin Snake-The Patient Recover
ing.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 13.-Mr. VIM.
Reed, while bathing in Flat creek, lear
Shelbyville, Tenn, a few weeks ago, be-
gan to feel around under rocks for fish.
He caught what lie thought was fish,
but upon bringing it to the surface of the
water found it to be large water moe
casin. The snake bit Mr.. Reed on the
thumb, but, as it was killed,
nothing was thought of it until a
few days ago, when Mr.. Reeds
hand began to swell, throwing him
into a violent fevef. He became deliri-
Gus and wanted to bite every one who
came near his bed. 1t required the COM
bined strength of several men to confne
him to his bed. Several medical men
were called in, and all their efforts seemed
futile, as the symptoms were all similar
to those in cases of hydrophobia. The
constant attendance and skill OF his ply
sicians, however, pulled him through,
and he is now getting well.

PRETTY APRONS.
The Many Differ emit Ways in Which They
May BE Made.

May BE Made.
Those of scrim or congress canvas
are very pretty. They can be made of
any size to suit the taste of the wearer.
Put broad hem. all around the four
sides.. Draw threads across the bot
tom, one space or several. If one
broad space is made fill it in with mar
row ribbons woven in and out in a
sort of basket work. If several narrow
spaces are preferred, use ribbon to run
in the width of the spaces. Should the
striped scrim be used, it can be trimmed
in various pretty ways. Ribbons can
be run in the open-work part of the
stripe, and them along each side, crazy
stitches may be put in with bright
hued silks. The ribbon to tie it with is
drawn through the hem at the top.
Pongee aprons are made which are
much liked. A very tasteful one has
broad hem all around, and cluster of
tucks above the hem across the bot
tom. In the lower corners, above the
hem, etch some design of flowers
in scarlet or cardinal, which colors
wash we'll. Draw scarlet ribbon through
the hem at the top TO- tie it with. This
can be taken out before it is sent to the
Laundry announcer MOSt convenient
apron is maIis of pongee to be worn
by one who is, sewing OR knitting. Get
a yard Of material, make a hem an inch
and half wiae upon the four sides.
Turn it down across, the bottom in the
opposite way from the sides and top.
Then turn the bottom mp quarter of
yard, stitch the sides tight, and then
put the three rows Of stitching perpen-
dicularly at equal distances from each
Other and from the edges. These will
divide it into compartments into which
can be dropped thread, scissors, etc.,
when working. A little design etched
upon the center of each of these will
add much to, the beauty of the apron.
Linen can be made up in the same
way. A finish of torchon lace across
the top of the turned up piece, when
linen is used, is, very pretty. Swiss
aprons, etched and tied with bright
ribbons, are very dainty for home
wear. White linen. with hem all
around, and then strips of scarlet or
blue stitched above, are very hand
some. These strips may be made one
wide or one or two narrow ones each
side, or number of narrow ones.-M

Glucose is made from starch. and IS

candy made principally of glucose, you

Glucose enters largely into the manu-
facture of marsh-mallows, and terrd
alba into cheap lozenges. Plaster-ot-
Paris molds are used to form the cream
candies having various devices ana
shapes. The sugar cream is poured,
while hot, into the little moldS that
have been powdered with starch, and
are then placed in very hot room TO

MAXWELL SENTENCED.

The Murderer of C. A. Preller i'm the South
ern Hotel. st. Louis, Sentenced to ba
Hanged "A Stay of Execution Granted
Pending the Decision of the Supreme
Court on an Appeal.
ST. LOUIS, July 14.-Hugh NJ. Brooks,
alias w. III. LennoX-Maxwell, convicted
of numbering Charles Arthur Preller, was
sentenced this morning to be hanged
August 81, 1886.
THE SENTENCE.
"Hugh Mottram Brooks" said Judge
Van Wagner, "the motion for your
new trial, and also your motion in arrest
of Judgment, have been overruled, and it
now only remains for the Court to SEN
tence you"
His Honor paused after making these
remarks, and the defendant said nothing,
but merely compressed his lips all the
more rigidly. Judge Van Wagner then
proceeded to pronounce sentence on
him as follows:
"Hugh Mottram Brooks, alias w. Fl.
Maxwell, alias Walter H. Lennox-MaX-
well, alias Theodore Cecil d'Auquier:
For your offense of murder in the first
degree, as charged in the indict-
ment, and in pursuance of the
verdict heretofore rendered against
you, 1t Is considered ana al judged by the
Court that you be taken from this place
to the place whence you came, there to
remain in the custody of the sheriff
until Friday, the 9th day of Aug
ust, A. D., 1886, on which you be
taken to the usual place of exc
cution in the city of st. Louis, and there
on said Friday, the 9th day of August,
A. ID. 1886, between the hours of six and
eleven O'Clock in the forenoon of said
day, you be hanged by the neck until you
be dead; and may God have mercy on
your soul"
A stay of execution was afterward
granted until October 2, 1885, and an APP
peal to the State Supreme Court al
lowed. The grounds on which the
State Supreme Court will be asked
to reverse the decision of the lower
court in the case are the same as were
made the basis for an application for Il
new trial before the Criminal Court.
One of the mann points, that in
regard to exhuming body with
out giving the defense due notice,
was passed upon by the State Supreme
Court, who held that one side could take
such action without notifying the other
side, so that one of the points at least, on
which a reversal was hoped for has been
knocked out

PROGRESS OF MEDICINE.

What the Most Progressive of Sciences
Has Accomplished in Fifty Years.
There is still, no doubt, vast amount
of suffering and disease among us, but
it would be folly to deny that the differ
ence between the past and the present
is immense. The stethoscope has made
it as easy to detect a damaged heart or
an inefficient lung as broken leg. The
ophthalmoscope enables us to explore
the innermost receSses of the eye, while
with the laryngoscope we can have
ocular proof of the condition of the
windpipe. The microscope enlightens
us to the true nature of or owths, and
such timely information often makes
it possible to check their develop
ment Anasthetics have robbed sur
gerry of all its cruelty and half
It's danger; they have, moreover, ex-
tended its sphere of action, for opera
tons are now frequently performed
which formerly could not have been at
tempted. The introduction of the anti
septic method has largely increased the
proportion of recoveries after severe
wounds and mutilations, and has also
done much to insure the safety of the
lying-in chamber The necessity of
cutting for stone is now obviated by
measures which involve neither pain nor
serious risk, and there can be little
doubt that the operation will in the
course of the next fifty years become
obsolete in civilized countries. Small
pox is no longer the standing menace
to beauty that it once was, while it is
scarcely taken into account as pos
sible danger of life by ordinary peo-
pie. Typhoid fever still claims
many victims. though it is being grad
ually driven off the field by an en1ight-
ened hygiene; typhus is almost I'M
known except in the lowest and most
squalid haunts of poverty. Madness is
now treated as bodily disease, not as a

God S service. These remain to testify
