Alkali aud the Virus of Rahirs.

In the account prepared by DR..
Bright, Of Kentucky, of his treatment
of various cases of hydroplobia he en-
presses the opinion that If the blood Of
a person bitten is kept in nm alkaline
condition for several weeks the virus Of
rabies is by this means destroyed or
rendered inert. II has long been known
that ammonium alkali is an antidote 10
the virus Of venoinous reptiles If inject
ed into the circulation Immediately af-
ter the infection If the bite.
II is remarked, however. that in the
cases Of children il would be more con-
venient Ia administer the chloride or
acetate of ammonia, owing to the pun
gency of the carbonate, some care being
also required in keeping the latter with
out a loss of any Of its virtues on ac-
count Of its great volatility. Ii is
thought that after the first day or two
il would not he necessary 10 exhibit the
remedy at shorter intervals than, say,
every six hours for three OF four weeks.
This would, it is believed, sufficiently
alkalize the blood to ncutralize or de-
stroythe rabic poison. New York Trib-

Temporary Idiocy.

A strange fatality sometimes over
takes men who have earned a good
reputation for skill, faithfulness and
the greatest caution. There have been
instances where engineers have run
trains for twenty years without an ac-
cident. Then one would occur which
seemed TO be the result Of gross care
lessness. Steamships have been run
ashore or on to reefs in starlight nights.
Men who have handled machinery for
years without an accident have finally
been caught in it and have lost their
lives.
There are whole classes of casualties
for which it is difficult To find any ra-
tional explanation. Do such accidents
occur from some sudden mental failure.
Why, for instance, does one who has
rendered faithful and accurate service
for ten or twenty years fail suddenly in
some succeeding year and neglect the
performance Of some duty which has
always been familiar TO him! There
are instances when competent ship cap
tains, who had been to sea for the
greater part of their lives, failed in ca
pacity on the very last voyage which
they proposed to make. BY some mis-
calculation, which seemed 10 be moth
ing less than gross carelessness, they
lost the ship and their own ives.-San
Francisco Bulletin.

A Lively Yankee skipper.

A Yankee skipper is supposed to be
equal to most anything, and "A recent
experience Of Capt. 4. l.. Howard, Of
Rockland, helps to confirm this idea.
Being unable to obtain n crew in Rock
land, Capt. Howard resolved To alone
take his schooner to n neighboring port,
having obtained the assistance of two
men 10 help him put aboard necessary
provisions. When ready for sailing he
sent the men ashore and started the
vessel. Watching for a moment the
boat he had sent shorcward. Capt.
Howard saw il capsize and the two
men precipitated into the water. lie
at once leaped from his vessel and
swan to the rescue Of the landsmen,
righted the boat, assisted the men into
It and rowed them safe to terra firma.
He then van back and boarded his
vessel, which was beginning 10 make

THE NEEDED STIMULUS.
A Judicious Selection Of Books Gives
Young Boy III. Right start.


Young Boy the Right start.
Several years ago | was one evening
sitting in my study when "A lad entered
my presence and asked il ! would be
willing 10 lend him something TO read.
| replied in the Affirmative, and in
quirrd what kind of reading matter he
desired. lie expressed n wish for some
thing that was exciting" and re
quested him 10 be u little more definite.
Then le gave me n vivid summary of
a work which he had recently read TO
his great enjoyment; evidently one Of
those trashy romanccs of which SO
many are published in boys libraries"
whose perusal a in no wise be bene-
fetal.
/ went To my bookcase and took from
ii one of Abbott's histories for young
people, The History of Darius the
Great" Opening it, l read the para
graph in which is given an account of
the shooting by Cambyses of his friends
son through the heart with an arrow
before the fathers eyes. Then | asked
IL he thought the book would suit him,
and he answered, Yes, sir"
He carried the book away with him,
and two evenings later returned with
it, inquiring II | would lend him an
other similar to it. did so, and let
him have other volumes in succession,
until within three months after receiv-
ing the first he had read the thirty and
odd volumes forming the series-read
them understandingly | learned by
questioning him-and acquired a taste
for substantial literary food.
He has graduated with the highest
honors from one of the foremost col
leges in the country. having betrayed
the expenses of the preparatory school
and the college 10y his earnings when
his mates were many of them resting.
He intends eventually 10 practice at
the bar, where n of his disposition is
likely 10 become a shining light" il
neither n Webster nor n Choate.
lie is pleased To attribute his desire
for an education 10 my encouragement
years since; but | can conscientiously
credit myself only with having brought
10 his consideration the books TO which
/ have referred.
Young friends, read these same
books, or books of n similar character,
instead Of the printed stuff" which
greets your vision on every side. You
will find the story of real flesh and
blood heroes and heroines as Eek
citing as is that of fictitious person
ages, and, reading of them, will be
stimulated to emulate their noblest, to
abhor their worst traits. Best of all,
such books will incite you TO acquire
additional information relative to those
concerning whom you have been read
ing, and eventually to secure an edu-
cation that will fit you TO make your
way through the world successfully

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Constitution of 1887 was
secured by a revolution. 1t was
forced from an unwilling sovereign.
Such is always the case. All gains
of popular right or privilege, as
shown by the worlds history, are
forced from rulers against their
will. That of 1887 was no excep-
ton. 1t may not be perfect, few
constitutions are. Most laws are
open to some objection. But that
is no reason why laws should be
repealed, or the fundamental law
set aside. The meeting on Satur-
day evening was called for the pur-
pose of agitating the subject of cal
ling a convention to give us new
constitution. The remarks made
in some instances were both foolish
and dangerous. Many false things
were spoken, like Mr.. Bush's state
ment that the King was compelled
to abolish the constitution given by
Kamehameha III. These things
are said to create, foster and en-
liven feelings of hate and bitterness
on the part of the natives. They
can result in nothing but injury, to
the natives first, and the whole
country afterwards. There is
no need of any constitutional
convention, nor of new con.
stitution. Whenever required, the
Constitution can be amended by
regular course. The present Con
stitution is infinitely better than
that published in these columns
several weeks ago. That was sim
ply the beginning of return tc
the old order. Under its provisions
new exercise of irresponsible and
despotlc power would become pos
sible. That is condition to which
the country will not return, anc
the sooner it is recognized the bet
ter. Messrs. Bush & Co. are parad
ing as the friends of the Hawaiians
and they try to prove it by stirring
up hatred against the foreigners
In fact they are the Hawaiians
worst enemies. Ii the provisions o
the present Constitution are carried
out, the rights of all are equally
guarded and protected, and Ha
waiian independence will be main
tanned honorably. Ii, however, Mr.
Bush and his friends succeed il
creating disorder and commoton
they will simply force interference,
from abroad ard the loss of ou
autonomy. In such an event, wh'
would be responsible if the nation
is crowded to the wall? Let al
friends of the Hawaiian unite ant
maintain order and the presen
constitutional government.
