1t is astounding be,ond words
that in this era Of intelligence and
in the light of medical history and
scientific research, notwithstanding
the discoveries PAsteur I'd the te.-
timony and authority Of the three
thousand physi,iAns, surgeons and
scientists that Sat at his feet recent
ly in the city Of Paris 10 learn how
to cure ard prevent hydrophohla.
notwithstanding that children ard
adults who had forgotten that thew
had been bitten had died Of this hor-
rible disesse, thus showing that 1t Is
not the result of imagination, not
Withstandlng that the world has
stood aghast and science and learn

tarch ard Virgil, Horace and Y no.

crates and others, all Of whom men
ton it, there are men IF prominence
and even eminence who declare that
there is no such thing as hydropbo-
hla. Bu, they are crushed hy the
weight of authority and history and
experience.
The term hydrophotia is unknown
except as applies to the disease in
man. In the dog tue disease Is call
ed rabies. Hydrophohia means
'fesr Of water Man is toe onle
animal that fears w.ter and lisulas
when effiicted with rabies. And it
must be observed, says the highes,
authorities, that even of those who
have been bitten by rabid animals
only proportion subsequently suf>
fer from hydrophobia. Where the

the body protected by the clothing
the virus may be wiped from the
teeth Of the animal before they pen
citrate the skin, but 10 case of such
a bite the clothes should be removed
IS soon as possible. John Hunter
mentions in his works one case in
which Il persons were bitten by a
rabid dog and only one died, and
the proportion to die is about one
half of those bitten. The treatment
recommended by the best authorities
was that which the persons bitten in

So little dread has the rabid dos
~ water that it will ford streams
and swim rivers when in the furious
STAGE will do tits in order to attack
other creatures on the other side
The evidence on this hand 10 over
whelning. At first the dog does not
retnse to eat, soon becomes fastid
ions and then depraved, eatiog little:
part Of threads, wool, wood, grass:
earth or whatever may come in IT
way.
The mad dog does not foam at the
mouth 10 any great extent at hrst,
but it soon becomes thick, vIscid,
and glutinous, adhering 20 the an
giles OF the mouth, foarces and teeth
1t is now that the dog is most vio-
lent, aud attempts TO detach the sail
va with its paws, and if after awhile
it loses its balance in those attempts
and falls over there can he no longer
any d oubt as to i!s m alady.
In dumb madness the lower Jaw
drops 10 consequence Of paralysis OF
its muscles and the mouth remains
open. The interior Is dry from the
air passing continually over it.
The strange alteration produced
in the dogs physiognomy by its con-
stantly open mouth, the dark red
color of the interior, is rendele ed still
more characteristic by the dull, sad
expression of the dogs eyes.
The voice OF the rahid dog is very
peculiar and once heard is never for
gotten. Owing to the alteration in
the larnyx the voice becomes harsh,
cracked and strlduous like child
with the Group. In d1mb madness
the voice is lost hence the name.
The mad dog seems to have lost
power Of Expressing pain. Burning
beating and wouuding produce little
effect and the animel will even mutt
late itself with its teeth. Suspicion
therefore should attach to dog
that receives punishment without
cry or complaint.
The mad dog is constantly endesv-
oring to escape from home and when
1t does escape it goes freely forward
as if driven by some invisible power
and travels considerable distances
in a short time, perhaps attacking
every creature it meets, preferling
dogs to other animals, and these to
man-csts, sheep, cattle, horses, &c,
PARTICULARLY listle to injury.
The rabid dog attacks in silence
and never Ctters 8 grow, or cry Of su-
ger. and If hurt In return will pro
iurc TO cry Of paia.

RABIES.

Rabies is q virulent disease devel.
oped primarily in and peculiar to the
canine species. 1t occurs also in
other carnivorous animals as the fox,
wolf, hyena, Jackal, raccoon, badger,
raj, squirrel and skunk. Bot is
thought to be original only with the
dog.
1t ls communicated by incubation
to nearly, if not all, warm FLOODED
creatures.
Rabies has been known from the
very earliest times in almost all the
counties Of the earth.
It is On the increase IN Europe and
is we'll known On the American con-
fluent. frequent and fatal in Indie.
In Denmark, Norway, Russia and
Lapland it has often appeared in cpl
zootic form. It is unknown in Au
strala, Newzealand aud East, South
and West A frica, It almost univer-
sally terminates in death though in
stances Of recovery are recorded.
Also fatal to al animals but not to
fowls.

 PERHAPS it is little late to talk of planting, but the farmers of the Salt River Valley need not hesitate to put in an extra acreage of spring wheat. Not for gears has California known such a dry season. There have been number of showers of late, but the real old fashioned gully-washing flood that is needed to start the sprouts on the adobe plains of the San Joaquin has not, as yet, appeared. To show how urgent is the need of heavenly irrigation, it is to be instanced that the good Catholic bishop of Los Angeles has issued cir cular letter to the faithful clergy and laity of the diocese. commanding daily prayer to the end that the thirsty land may be blessed with copious showers. These things point to the fact that the non-irrigating farmers of California are . going to have light crops; accordingly, grain will be high in price, and the Ari' zona farmer will start bank account.

Its friends affirm that in the matter of mileage saving alone theexpense could be largely met. And the fight goes bravely on.
