English Dog Laws.

The Society for the Prevention of
Hydrophobia and the Reform of the Dog
Laws of London wishes to promote an act
of parliament to settle the dog question
once and for all by the enforcement of
the muzzle and by a system of registra-
ton and licensing. 1t stands pledged to
the statement that rabies might be abso-
lutely eradicated, and that it may easily
be diminished by proper precautions. In
Prussia, where these precautions are
taken, there died of hydrophobia in a
particular period but two persons. In
Great Britain, where they are not, there
died 50. The two countries have
about the same population. Our worst
misfortune in the matter is a tendency
to hot and cold fits. When rabies is
widely prevalent we take precautions;
when it diminishes, in consequence of
the precautions, we relax them, and it
breaks out again. The society would
keep us at one temperature of rational
prevention. In 1885 twenty-seven per-
sons died of hydrophobia in London
alone. The muzzling edict of that win
ter reduced the number to nine in 1856.
1t seems clear that we have only to 60
on steadily, year by year, to reach the
Prussian figure, or zero. At any rate,
the experiment deserves full and fair
trial.--London News.

A very peculiar and sad accident
occurred in Brownsville. Some of the
young men and boys had gathered on
the playground in the center of the
village and were engaged in a ball
game. 1t had progressed for several
innings when Edgar S. Howard, IA years
old, went in to bat. Almost the first
ball sent in to him was wildly pitched,
and the players and crowd We're shocked
when they saw it strike him in the stom-
ach. An explosion followed, which en-
veloped him in a cloud of smoke.
The boy had been near some railroad
construction work which had been in
progress and had been given dynamite
cap. When he went to play ball he put
the cap in his pocket and forgot all
about it. The ball had struck fairly
upon the pocket, causing the cap to burst
with terrible effect. The whole heshy
portion of the lads right arm was blown
away, but his other injuries were even
more severe, for the death dealing ex-
plosive tore into his right side, lacerat-
ing the flesh in frightful manner.-Port-
land Argus.

Old Time Navigation.

In accounting for the frequent collis-
ions at sea nowadays, it is often re-
marked that there are so many more
ships ahoat. This is not altogether sat
isfactory reason. 1t is true that the COM
merce of the world is greatly increased
and extended. To offset this in meas
ure it may be shown that our modern
ships have carrying capacity ten times
greater than the ships of the last century,
to say nothing of what they were in ear
lier times.
Again, the improved methods of keep
ing the ships reckoning ought to reduce
the risks of collision. The real explana-
ton of the disasters is rather to be found
in the circumstance that now vessels sail
independently of one another, while 100
years ago or so the merchantmen used
to be dispatched in fleets, and these were
under a convoy. An armed vessel was
deemed necessary to protect them.
An old log recently printed throws
much light on Eighteenth century sail
ing.
Commodore Arson sailed down the
channel in 1740 with ten men-of-war,
and in charge of $50 sail of merchant
men, all more or less in sight, with moth
ing but sail power to help them.
Hadley's quadrant was invented about
1881, so that there was almost time-ten
years-for it to have been adopted by
the navy.
But there were as yet no chronometers,
and the ancient mariner was forced to
depend for his longitude almost entirely
upon dead reckoning; feeling his way
into the chops of the channel by repeat
ed casts CT the deep sea lead, and making
careful notes of such geology as came UP
on the tallow on the bottom of it. Thus

Wedding Cranks.

The extraordinary craving after noto-
riety which leads people to get married
in balloons, under Niagara Falls, stand
ing on their heads, riding wild mus
tangs, or speeding down the switchback
railroad at the rate of mile in two
minutes is incomprehensible TO the ma
jority of people who look upon mar
rage as more than the wild and rabid
freak of the moment. No position is too
grotesque, however, for the wedding
cranks to embrace, and ingenuity fails

UNJUsTLY SUSPECTED.
A WelI-Known Travelling Man Charged
With Burglary.

A WelI-Known Travelling Man Charged
With burglary.
A burglary occurred between and 8
o'clock Thursday evening at the power
house of the Front street cable line. by
which John Holland, a conductor on ear
No. 5, lost $3.50.
Holland rooms in the upper floor of the
power house in one OF several apartments
fitted Up for the conductors. lie kept the
money in the tray OF his trunk. This the
thief pried open with Ratchet. Nothing
else IN the room was disturbed, the object
apparently having been to take nothing ex-
eeps the money. 50 as to leave no clue TO
the idenfity OF the thief.
The loss was discovered yesterday morn
ing, about O'Clock, by a friend OF Hoi-
lands, who noticed that Tie lock Of the
trunk had been broken. He told Hob
land, who lost no time Ia searching his
trunk, only 70 ind his savings of years
gone.
Holland had his suspicious aroused
against Joseph Charters, travelling sales
man In the employ Of the oil concern OF
Kelly, Dunn & Co.. OF Portland, who is
very well known, having been on this coast
for years. Charters is colsia OF j. f.
MeCay, superintendent of the line, and he
spends more or less time around the power
house whenever he is in the
city. IL was this fact, coupled
with some unexplained reason, which led
Holland TO believe that Mr.. Charters was
the man who took his money, and having
this idea in mind, he spread the report
freely. But subsequent investigation, to-
getber with the fact that Mr.. Charters is
welI-known business man OF good stand
ing, showed how baseiess were his suspi-
eions.
Even we're it not for the fact of his own
established reputation Mr. Charters move
ments from before the time the robbery
occurred, which n large number of his
friends can testify to, fully absolve him
from the serious charge so thoughtlessly
made by young Holland.
The real thief has not been discovered,
neither is there yet any clue to him.

A Cure for Obesity.

Professor Schweniger, the German
doctor who gave Prince Bismarck new
lease of life by curing him of his obesity,
is now one of the most influential men in
Berlin. His list of lady patients is as
long as the Inter den Linden drive, and
he asks and gets fees that turn the other
doctors green with envy. His system
consists principally of doing without
LIQUIDS. No beer at ALL and the strain of
doing without this is very nearly suf-
ficient to reduce a German to a skeleton,
no coffee, except once day small cup
full, very hot, and with no milk and one
lump of sugar no tea and no water. Ii
the patient suffers from thirst she may
eat fruit, suck the juice of an orange or
mix the juice of a lemon with few table
spoonfuls of water and drink it. When
the thirst becomes difficult to bear any
longer a cupful of boiling water, as hot
as it can be drunk, is allowed. 1t is
surprising to find, however, with what
very small quantity of liquid one can ac-
custom ones self to live. At first Pro
fessor Schweniger's patients protest loud
" their inability to do without liquid of
some sort, but his invariable reply is:
every well, madam; you can do as you
like, but don't expect to get thin. " That
ALWAYS reduces them to terms, and
though they find it difficult at first they
soon learn to live very comfortably on
few tablespoonsfuls of liquid in twenty
four hours and joy to find their too, too
solid flesh beginning to decrease ''visi-
bly, The German women are all prone
to flesh, and hardly are they out of their
teens before they begin to thicken
alarmingly and grow ponderous and un-
wieldy. One of the leading actresses in
Berlin lies every afternoon for an hour
with cracked ice in cloth wrapped
around her body to numb it so that she
can bear the lacing for the nights per-
formance, which is done by two muscu-
lar maids -Ne,o York World.

a tendency on the part of some to try it
is a means of amusement, while, without
doubt. there are not few who would
use it for no good purpose. That hypno-
tism may be rightly applied and without
injury it must be exclusively confined to
physicians, who alone are capable of dis
tinguishing between these subjects upon
whom it is likely to do good and those
likely to be injured by it. 1t is
well-known fact that persons who are Of
ten hypnotized finally become so suscep-
tible that the act is accomplished with
the greatest ease. And, in not a few in
stances of subjects so treated for long
time, it requires scarcely more than 4
single glance for the operator to throw
them into a hypnotic sleep.
So it will be seen that hypnotism
might prove menace to society unless
steps were taken to guard against it.
The first precaution to suggest itself is
the prohibition of all public exhibitions
of hypnotism or mesmerism. This re-
marl<ablc power should, if possible, be
limited by law to the treatment of dis
ease And the operator should be per-
mitted to influence his subject only as
health may be improved. d.-B0ston Herald.
