IN THE OLD ATTIC.

This dusty old atticl How mem'ry recalls
The fear with which childhood regarded its
walls,
The terrors my curious spirits have daunted
And how when the rats scurried over the
floor.
To frncy the semblance of footsteps they
And thrilled me with dread of the room that was
haunted.
And now, when the visions of childhood are
past,
daringly tread the dim precincts at last,
A half. Startled awe in my memory fingers,
As l kneel BY a chest that times ravage defies,
And raise up the lid to discover the prize
That lightly lift with irrev'rent young fingers.
How fancy doth coniure the scenes of pas
days,
AS the old-fashioned garments are brought to
my gaze,
These robes that outlasted the fair forms that
wore them,
Tho long they have slept in a slumber secure,
see the young grandmothArs, proud and de-
mure,
And the grandfathers powdered perukes bent
before them.
These little blue slippers, with faded rosette,
Have gracefully paced thro' some slow minuet,
And merrily danced thro' the fleeting night
hours.
And this sillSen ball gown, SO daintily laced,
wonder who owned that diminutive waist,
And covered it with such impossible flowers!
These long, sweeping plumes, in fashion that's
fed,
Have nodded in state DER some fair powdered
head;
Bent, may be, to list some great grandfather
wooing.
These gloves perchanced prisoned the fingere
he pressed,
As blushng like maids of to-day, she con
feSSed
The answer her heart gave the prayer Of his
suing.
And here in paper tied round with band,
Is flower that crumbles to dust in my hand,
And with faint, faded lines is the paper traced
over;
What secret of lover, or lost or untrue,
Has it kept thro' century safely for you!
I'll softly replace, nor seek to discover.
will put back the garments my hand has dis
closed
In the chest where century or more they've
reposed,
Perchance when this heart hath forgotten all
passions,
Some daring young hand like my own may
turn DER
The garments that her great'great grand
mother wore,
And smile as she looks at the funny old fashions.

HYDROPHOBIA CASES.
Remedies That Do Not Harm Even II
They Do Not Cure.

How can hydrophopia be cured. and
the apparently inevitable death and
suffering following the bite of Il mad
dog be prevented?
Twenty years and more ago, at q time
when cases of hydrophobia were numer-

ton to the sufferer III liberal doses; and
Mrs. SWlSsheIm was positive that this
treatment would result in cure. 1t
was the good fortune of the writer to
try this simple remedy in one case, and
to find that it did its work etfectually
and we'll.
But what will be one mans meat may
prove to be another mans poison. What
may prove to be cure in one case of
of hydrophobia may fail utterly in an
other. Mrs. Swisshclm's remedy, there
fore, may be utterly useless in some
cases, just as the mad stone" has
proved to be in others.
But there are other remedies for n.y.
drophobia, and the latest of these comes
from the Island of Syke, where, it is
said, it has been long known and sue
cessfully used. A handful of the thorn
apple (DdturG Strdn0nium in the phar-
macopeia) must be boiled in a pint of
water until the bulk is reduced to one
half. Then strain the fluid through a
fine cloth and administer it to the suf-
ferer in one dose. Should the patient
show a difficulty in swallowing the dose,
as is nearly always the case in hydro
phobia, let it be forced down the throat.
1t is claimed that under this treat
ment violent paroXysms will shortly fol-

commissioner. Brady is to be within call
when a narshals services are required,
and is to be out until II o'clock at night,

that he be up later. The mayor is be-
ginning to reform by retrenching with

e. D. Wheeler sometimes drives a
horse which believes in starting back
wards when its driver wants it to GO.
Monday evening the animal had spell Of
this kind of several minutes duration.
The scene took place Immediately in front
of the sidewalk before Verbeck's block.
The driver permitted the backing to pro-
coed, his only care being SO to guide the
animals vibrations as to make the buggy
wheels miss the sidewalk as each circuit
was traversed. This guidance was the
work of an artist In that very line. and
don't you forget it. After the animal had
gone through several circuit evolutions,
it seemed satisfied. and was driven up
Franklin street, between the young for
ests, in good order. If Mr.. Wheeler was
not good natured, he would be tempted
to hitch that horse front-backwards in the
shafts, with the view of saving time in
getting forward move. It really seems
as though it would be necessary to do
this in the case of starting for Oklahoma
or getting late start to church.

TERRIBLE REGULATIONS.
Dreadful Experience of q Man In

Dr.. D. II. Freeman, county health OF
ficer, reports case in the southeast part

the proper authorities. That such case
should exist in Sheridan county IS dis
grace to her citizens. The doctor says
that one Andrew Wandts has been sick
for six months with the fever; that he has
not had proper care; that he has neither
bad his bedding or shirt changed for four
months; that the bed stinks and is stained
and filthy where the man has passed his
urine where he lay, and would then have
to waliow in it. Such affairs as this are
not only disgraceful to any civilized COM
munity, but they are shameful and
british, and some one is surely response

The doctor also informs us that when
Mr.. Wandts took sick he had two teams,
wagon and buggy, valued at $500; that a
mortgage had been placed ON them for
provisions, and since have been seized to
pay the debt.
The doctor says he has witnessed
scenes in Andersonville, Libby, Belle
Isle and Salisbury, but has never seen a
worse case of inhumanity.
