Practical Treatment of HydrophobIa.
Paris Cor. London Timesl


asked NJ Pasteur whether a patient
once treated would be exposed to hydro
phobia if he had the ill-luck to be bitten
again. He replied that the virus acted
very slowly, and that consequently, by
the incubation of the attenuated virus
in the dose of three-quarters of cubic
centimetre, a patient was made not sus
ceptible of the malady. The virus of
the bite localized itself completely dur
ing the time when the rest of the body
had been rendered refractory. Now,
whatever be the part where the virus is
deposited by the bite, if the incubation
lasts as he has shown by experiment, a
year and half, the virus deposited by
tine bite will have digested, and will no
longer exist in the body of the patient
who has been cured. 1t can no longer
produce aLy effect, as it has ceased to
exist.
In the case of Pupille, after the lapse
of six days, the virus through the
wounds had not yet left the hands,
which had been bitten. Consequently
the virus had not yet penetrated into
any of the regions where its presence
causes an outbreak of rabies-that is to
say, into any of the parts connected
With the nervous system corresponding
70 the cerebral region. 1t will remain
cooped up, but after some months it
will be digested and expelled. The
virus has not, therefore, retrospective
effect, but its progress is arrested by
the treatment, and it is digested, while
the patient remains not susceptible.
The treatment thus neutralizes the
malady by localizing the virus, which
NJ. Pasteur has never found in the flesh,
blood or muscles, but exclusively in the
nerves and the glands connected with
| them.

Blowing Out Electric LAMPS.

Lately many cases of trying to blow
out electric lights have been reported,
as we'll as trying to ignite paper from
the globe while in the act of getting a
light for a cigar or pipe, the victim
not recollecting that the gas or kero-
sene lamp had been removed. A case
of the first kind is quite laughable. At
a certain store in the north end of the
city an electric light has been put in.
When the time for shutting up came
the proprietor said to his assistant:
willie, put out the light" Now a
kerosene lamp had been in the store
all the time, and tho clerk was always
in the habit of taking long blower
and then putting it out. This evening
was no exception to the rule, and the
clerk blew away for some little time
without any result. The proprietor
came along, and seeing the trouble
took the blower and with the other
hand caught the knob, turning the
light out, at the same time blowing
through the instrument that generally
put the light out. The clerk was
somewhat astonished at the result but
did not catch on, and the next attempt
will be watched with interest, provid-
ed he does not SEQ this article.-New-

OUR NATIONAL FLOWER.
The Golden Rod as the Floral Emblem OF
the American Republic.

The Golden Rod as the Floral Emblem Of
the American Republic.
Boston and vicinity, where so many
wise and good people reside, are agi-
Eating the question of selecting Ma
tional fower-a floral emblem of the
American Republic. Science seems to
favor the Understanding, graceful gold
en-rod, of hardy growth and artistic
plumage. 1t is agreed by botanists,
florists and poets that of all the Wild
flowers, the golden-rod comes nearer
to being peculiarly indigenous to this
country and to being ubiquitous in all
the States than any other, and that it
is, therefore, entitled to the honorable
distinction of being selected as the
symbol of our nationality.
The fuchsia has always impressed us
us 1.-The daisy of all the flowers, but,
with all its grace of form and beauty of
color, it has an unfortunate habit Of
hanging it's pretty head down toward
the ground, as if it were either afraid
or ashamed of something, and neither
characteristic of the United States or
its people.
And perhaps it will be as cay for
our people to concentrate their pref
erences upon the golden-rod as upon
any other flower. The May-howor is
entitled to consideration, but it is OBJ
jected to because of it's modesty and
shadiness. The golden-rod is lacking
in fragrance, it is true, and is rot spe-
cially beautiful, but it is a familiar
friend; every body knows it VIXEN he
sees it, and nobody that we arc aware
of has any thing against it-no preju-
dice, no grudge, no malice. 1t stands
proudly upright, like a plumed knight;
it comes in late, and is in no great
hurry to leave after getting here; it
withstands wind and storm right brave

fed courtesy to all the world.
can, and as such, if it is destined to
the post of honor, let us BID it well
come. The office-seeking politician
may "put up his lightning-rod;" the
schoolmaster may ''have rod in
pickle for the unruly small boy in his
jurisdiction: and the magician may
with his diving-rod attempt to s'call
spirits from the vastly Deep" but give
to Yankeedom the golden-rod as the
floral symbol of its dignity, grace and
hardihood. If not, why not? Oscar
Wilde has immortalized the sun-Aower

JAPAN'S SOVEREIGN.

The Mikado's Ancestry, His Personal APP
pearance and His Habits.
The Mikado has the bluest blood OF
any ruler on the face of the earth. The
present dynasty of Japan runs back to
the gods and His Imperial Majesty is
the 121st Emperor of Japan. The
Japanese have their history and their
mythology, and the present Emperor
comes from Jimmu Tenno, who was the
first Mikado, and who ruled Japan 66G
years before Christ was born. This
man was descendant of the sun god
dess, and Mutsuhito, the present En-
peror, traces his descent directly from
him. Japanese history gives the story
of each of the 100 Emperors between
the two, and if you will think moment
you will see how far back $50 B. c. is.
This was befo re Rome had become an
empire. England was unknown even
to the Romans, and hundreds OF
years were yet to e1apse be-
fore Caesar penetrated Gsul. The.
present Emperor was born at Kiota,
November 8, 1852. He was declared
heir-apparent to the throne when he
was eight years old, and he succeeded
on the death of his father in 1867. He
was crowned in 1868 and was married
at the age of seventeen in 1869.
His Imperial Majesty is now thirty
eight years old. Let me tell you how
he looks. He is taller than the aver.
age Japanese and his appearance is
not half as imposing now as when he
wore the rich Japanese costumes and
sat cross-legged on his mats of state.
He has dark brown cafe-au-lait com.
plexion and his eyes, which look out
through almond Sits, are of a brill.
liant black. His hair is very thick
and he parts it in European style. II
is combed we'll up from good FORE
head and His Majesty's eyebrows
have the decided arch which IS indica-
tive of Japanese beauty. His nose is
large and inclined to fairness 1t has
the wide nostrils of the Japanese and
His Maj esty's lips are thick. He is OF
medium size. but is inclined to stoop,
which imagine may come from the
earlier part of his life having been
spent in sitting upon the floor. He
wears a mustache and chin whiskers
and these, like those of most of his
race, are thin. The Court Chamber
lain tells me- that for the past sixteen
years he has worn nothing but Europe
an clothes, and has to large extent
adopted European ways. His dress
is that of a General of the
army. and he takes great pride
in military matters He reviews
his troops several times year and ia
thoroughly up in the organization OF
his armies. When he goes out to ride
he Is always accompanied by his i'm.
perial guards, and he has lately pur
chased several new state carriages
