was that the sentinels were fast asleepat

They surprised the sentinels and cut

THE INSTITUTE PASTEUR.
But One Per Cent. of Its Patients Have
 Succumbed to lily droph Obia.

But One Per Cent. of Its Patients Have
 Succumbed to Hydrophobia.
 Many years of labor proved to Pasteur that by inoculation he could give the disease, or cure it, in dog; but it was not until July, 1885, that the experiment was tried on human being. The first patient, small lad, having been severe ly bitten in some dozen places on the hands, arms and legs, his mother, sim pie peasant, brought him from Alsace and asked M. Pasteur to do the same to her son she heard he ''did to dogs to pre- vent their getting hydrophobia." Pas teur hesitated; but having procured medical advice, all of which concurred as to the impossibility of the child's re- covery, he (nOt being himself dOctOr) let his surgeons inoculate the boy, which operation was repeated fourteen times on two occasions twice in twenty-four hours to accomplish the task as quickly as possible. The child has not only never showed symptoms of hydrophobia, though it is now over four years since he was treated, but is fast growing to manhood. During the four years that have elapsed since M. Pasteur inocu- lated his first patient no fewer than 1000 persons have been treated in the Paris institution alone, of whom 73 have died-that is to say about 1 per cent.-while before he con- menced his inoculation treatment from 15 to 20 per cent. invariably succumbed. Pasteur has now made the interesting discovery that the nearer the part bitten is to the brain the shorter is the period of incubation and the more virulent the attack of the dis ease produced. While the ordinary nor tality in such cases is eighty per cent, NJ. Pasteur by his treatment has re- duced it to four per cent. Surely these facts speak for themselves. I will now give a short description of the modus operandi of the inoculation itself as I saw it. The large outer hall of the in- stitution by eleven o'clock contained eighty-nine persons, composed of all classes, all nationalities and all ages, who had come to be inoculated (free of charge), having previously had the mis- fortune to have been bitten by some rabid animal. On the right hand of the hall is regular office, in which every case, with all particulars, is most carefully registered. After the patient has furnished every possible particular he crosses the passage to small room on the left, where the inoculation is performed. There sits the operator, who is assisted by doctor, nurse and clerk, furnished with full particulars and the number of each ease. The proc ess is a remarkably simple one. A small hypodermic syringe filled with the preparation is injected under the skin, the point of the instrument being no bigger than wool needle; the opera tion is as trifing as it is painless, and occupies about five seconds. It is re- peated on fourteen successive days. the dose being made slightly stronger each Uime.-Murrays Magazine.

 The big oyster on the top of the bar rel opened its jaws wearily and closed them with a snap, as if in response to a scarcely audible gurgle from the bottom of the keg.
 ''He's dry and hungry, too, guess" said the dealer, in explanation. Its about time to give him and the other fellows some dinner" and he poured over the oysters bucketful of salt and water.
 ''Do you call that dinner?" asked the reporter.
 ''More after the style of lunch" was the reply. 'You see, sir, it isn't possi- ble, for some unknown reason, to feed oysters in Washington as they do in the North. Up there man will buy bar rel of lean oysters, without any flesh at all on their bones, as you might say, and feed them three square meals a day of corn meal and salt water, poured over them, and at the end of a month they will be as fat as butter. But Oys- ters won't take hearty grub like that down here, and two weeks is as long as they can be kept alive and in good con dition on salt and water plain. It's funny thing that if one hundred bushels of real salt oysters are put on top of one hundred bushels of fresh oysters fof four or five days, so that the drainage from the salt oysters will drip down over the fresh ones, at the end of that time the fresh oysters supposing them thin at the beginning-will be as plump as possible and properly salt, while the salt oysters remain pretty much as be- fore. Of course, salt water must have been thrown over the whole stack daily. But on the other hand, if the fresh oysters are put on top of the salt ones, every thing else being as in the other case, both the salt oysters and the fresh oysters will lose and become thin. When you see oysters on top of a pile opening their mouths, it is because they are thirsty, the water having drained off them. Oysters, by the way, will keep longer and better in dry cellar than in wet or damp one; they want an equable temperature neither too high nor too low; an oyster that freezes is dead oyster. Listen to those oys- ters in the barrel now-you can hear their jaws go as they eat. Washington Star.
