SINCE the order went forth that all
dogs in England should be muzzled, in
consequence of many outbreaks of rab-
les, the mum Der of cases of the disorder
reported has fallen from eighty, one in
the last'quarter of 1889 to thirty-nine in
the first quarter of the present year, and

more to the point, nine of the rabid dogs
seized since the order was issued were
found to be securely muzzled, and thus
prevented from mischief.

Avalanches of Water.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, June 14.-At least
half million dollars worth of property
was destroyed in this city and vicinity
last night. Never since 1857, when the
waters rose and overwhelmed nearly all
Rockford, has such disastrous flood
visited this section as that of last even
ing. For three hours the rain fell in
torrents, vivid lightning played, and
following each flash came terrific peals
of thunder. The storm commenced
about $50 O'Clock, and in surprising
space of time every street was turbu-
lent river. The creeks swelled, and in
moment devastating floods were
sweeping through Kent and Keith
creek valleys. Each creek drains an
immense area of territory and from
every side came contributions to the
waters pgftil the creeks had become de-
structive torrents. Families were driv-
en- from their homes. The property de-
stroyed will amount to at least $500, 600.

IT is estimated that over twenty mil.
lion cigars are manufactured every day
in the United States alone, and this
enormous number requires in the neigh

hundred factories in the countr- turn

which these boxes are made comes
from Mexico, Central America and the
West Indies. The manufacturers buy
the wood in large, heavy logs, and cut
it up to suit themselves. Some of the
cheaper grades of boxes are made from
poplar cut in the West which is after
ward stained to initiate the real cedar.
