How to EscaDo a Mad No..

IF people were only taught half so
much about the way to avoid mad dogs
as they are about sunstroke," said
oflcer Mulvihill the other day, 1--WE
would not often hear of case of hydro
phobia. A good thing to know is that a
mad dog never turns aside from the
course he is running to bite any body.
So if one is right in the path of rabid
animal he can get out Of all danger by
jumping to one side and out of the path
of the dog But if it is absolutely i'm,
possible to get to get ont of the way,
the man or woman should stand per.
fectly still and face the dog. He will
turn aside then himself and run in a
different direction, while II the person
in front of him screams and runs away,
as nine out of ten will do. the dog will
overtake and bite the victim. OF course
it requires courage to stand still and
face rabid dog, terrible as the animal
always looks, but the result shows that
the real danger lies in taking flight

1t now transpires that the best En-
glish beef comes from Normandy, that
the best English hops come from Ger
many, that the best English mutton
comes from New Zealand and Buenos
Ayres. The German hops are prefer
able to the English for the reason that
they are of better quality. The En-
glish grower has made the mistake of
seeking to secure a large yield, while
the German has devoted time and care
toward securing large and perfect
fruit The consequence is that two

the town are infested with frogs. Their
presence was discovered through three.
In different localities, becoming forced
into the seryico-pipes, which they con-
gested. and thus stopped the water sup
ply. Frog-spawn also has temporarily
blocked the water supply in somo
houses. The frogs, 1t is believed, were
introduced into tho mains through a
head OF service water, opened during
the time of tho water famine in North
ampton in 1884 The supply has been
drawn on ever since, and has been dis
tributcd without filtration. Tho reser-

MulHtudcs OF crows often congregato
Il. the woods and swamps. Wilson says
that the most noted crow roost he ever
saw In his life is on an island In the
Delaware. "1'hs island" TO use the
words OF this eminent naturalist. ''some-
times goes by the name of the Pea
Patch. It IL only little raised above
tho surrounding water, and is covered
with a thick growth of reeds. The en-
tire island is destitute Of trees, and tho
crows alight and nestle among the reeds.
The noise made by tho birds, in their
morning aud evening assemblies, liz al
most Incredible. Whole fields OF corn
are sometimes laid waste by thousands
alighting on 1t at once, with appctites
whettod by tho fast OF the preceding
night Tho utmost watchfulness is nee
ossary on the part OF tho farmer to pro-
vent his field from being plundered.
The character OF The crow is here in very
bad repute. To say to the man who has
lost, his whole crop Of corn by these
birds that crows are exceedingly useful
for destroying vermin would be just
about as consoling as 1t would DO to tell
him that fires arc excellent for
destroying logs when he has just
had his house burned down by
the flames. Some years ago sudden
northeast storm came. on during tho
night, aud the tide. rising TO m uncom-
mon height, covered the whole island.
Tho darkness OF the night, the violence
OF tho storm and the suddenness with
which 1t came on. II is supposed, so
frightened the crows that they did not
attempt to escape. At any ratio, nearly
the whole OF them perished. Thousands
OF them wore seen tho next day floating
In the river, and the wind, shifting to
tho northwest, drove their dead bodies
TO the New Jersey side. where for miles
they blackencd the whole shore. How
ever, IL was not long ,aftcr that before
the island contained as large u popula-
tion OF crows Us over" This race OF
birds. the writer thinks, must have
great affection for tho Pea Patch.
A crow once attempted to carry of
young chicken or two and got himself
into trouble by this means. Tho chick
ons clustered around the parent hen and
she dcfcndcd them with good deal OF
herolsm. At last she drove the enemy
into an apple tree and fought him thero
SO furiously that he was soon glad to re-
