TO CURE HYDROPHOsiA.
How to Tell Whether Dog Is Really
and Truly Mad.

How to Tell Whether Dog Is Really
and Truly Mad.
A physician has recently printed an
article entitled: How TO tell a mad
dog and how TO treat hydrophobia. !"
Now, that seems very simple matter.
You should never have any thing on
your mind that you want to tell mad
dog. We can tell a mad dog any thing
we have to communicate on a postal.
or we could send him the information
by rabid telegraph messenger. the
young man who makes every body
mad with whom he comes in contact
but never gets mad himself In dag
nosing case of hydrophobia, dog
with wire muzzle is the most sensi-
tive subject but any dog will answer.
To see if he is mad, pull his tail. Pull
hard. 1t is best to pull with both
hands. If the dog jerks away and
runs howling down the street.
he is not mad. He is only scared.
But if he turns around and bites
Il piece out of your leg, and tries to bite
out another larger piece before he
swallows the first one, he is mad.
Then you have the hydropho bia. Now
follows the treatment of hydrophobi
This peculiar form of madness origi-
mated with the camel. The camel, you
know, can go forty days without
water. In treating hydrophobia, offer
it any thing but water Hydroph obia
in the North is the same thing as a
snake bite in Texas. 1t is believed by
the best ply sicians that hydrophobia
RACES as fearfully in the dead of winter
as in the summer What wise Provi-
dence is this! because when the snow
is on the ground all the snakes are
dormant and the thirstiest man in
America could not even bite himself
at the Geological Garden. Hydro
phobia is contagious. One man who
has it bad can communicate it to a
whole crowd of men. 1t is not always
nor necess arily fatal, although the
next morning the victim usually
wishes that it ''had of been. "-Robert "

Directions That should 30 Studied nns

Adopted by Every One.
The following directions for beDni-
ing agreeable should be studied and
adopted by every one, and especially
merchants and their clerks:
Very rarely, if ever. young persons
acquire the ability to converse with
ease and flueney. This implies. first
of all. good ideas clearly and sensibly
expressed. An empty mind never
makes a good talker; remember you
can not draw water out of an empty
WE'LL" Next in Importance comes
self-possession. Self-possession is
nine points in the law"-of good
breeding.
A good voice is as essential to self
possession as good ideas are essential
to fluent language The voice from
infancy should be carefully trained
and developed; full. clear, flexible
voice is one of the surest indications
of good breeding; it falls like music
on the ear and while it pleases the
listener it adds to the confidence of its
possessor. be he ever so timid- One
may be witty without being popular,
voluble without being agreeable, u
great talker and yet great bore 1t
is wise then, to note carefully the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Be sincere; he who habitually sneers
at every thing will not only render
himself disagrecable to Others but will
soon cease to find pleasure in life.
Be frank; frank, open counte-
nance. and a clear, CHEEKY laugh are
worth more. even socially than ped
antry in stiff cravat.
Be amiable; you may hide vindIc-
tive nature under polite exterior
for short time, as a cat masks its
sharp claws in velvet fur but the least
provocation brings out one as quickly
as the other; ill-natured persons are
always disliked.
Be sensible; society never lacks for
fools. If you want elbow room ''go
up higher"
BE cheerful; If you have no great
trouble on your mind you have no
right to render other people miserable
by your long face and doll ousitones.
If you do you will be avoided.
But above all. be cordial; true cordi-
ality unites all the qualities we have
enumerated. -Latray Breezes.
