DOGS IN BAVARIA
How wHydrophobia Has Been Stamped
Out In That Country.

Bavaria has succeeded in doing what
no other country has yet been able to
accomplish; she has practically stamped
out hydrophobia. During the last seven
years there have been only three deaths
Of human beings from hydrophobia IN
population numbering close upon
5000, 900; and since 1876. when the pre-
sent severe dog laws came in operation,
there never has been more than one
death in year. Previously to that
time deaths were very frequent. Be-
tween 1868 and 1876 the death rate
from bydrophobia in Bavaria was
never less than fourteen In year, and
once it reached the high percentage of
thirty-one. The regulations which have
bsnished this terrible malady from a
whole kingdom are very minute, and
perhaps some little vexatious; but 1t is
assuredly worth while to take little
trouble for so desirable an end. Every
dog in the country is bound, upon pain
of instant death, to bear upon his collar
0 metal tally, upon which is inscribed
bis number upon the register OF his dis.
trict. The color and shape Of this tally,
which is really the dogs passport, are
changed every year; and tine police are
thus able to see at glance If dog is
sin order" Once a month all dogs
have to be examined by a veterinary
surgeon, and if they are not in good
health they are detained in kind Of
dogs hospital until they recover. If.an
animal changes hands the transfer must
be at once notified to the police; and
any breach Of the regula.ions-even a
delay of few days in the payment of
the tax-is visited by heavy fine.' The
tax varies from three shillings year in
the country districts to fifteen shillings
In the large towns.

a Ceyion Fable.

The Singhalese have great skill in
cookery, and are able to make currles
not only of any kind of meat, but of
almost any vegetable. One of their
favorite curries is composed of a long
bean, known as the ''drumstick. The
price of this vegetable in the market is
exceedingly small.
AS Vidahue Tantaregsy Cornelius
Appoo lay stretched upon a mat on the
veraDda of his cottage one fine MORN
ing, his eye rested on the luxuriant
blossoms of the murunga, or drumstick
trea, which stood in his little inclosure
or compound.
I'm couple of months" +" thought he
to himself, 81 shall have as many
drumsticks on that tree as will realize
one rupee and fifty cents. These will
take to the bazaar, and, having sold
them, L will lay out the money in eggs,
which l will sell at a profit. With the
proceeds L will buy cocoanuts, and
after disposing of them-also a profit
l will buy fowls. This is sure to be a
lucrative investment. BE- continuing
to carry fowls to the town, and selling
them to the steamers, along with pine
apples, plantains and other fruit, shall
in course of time become a dubash, or
ship chandler, and make large profits.
l will then go into partnership with
Dos Simon Goonetillike, who trades
with India. l will get my daughter
married to his eldest son, and we will
import rice and cotton goods from the
Madras presidency. l will then build a
fine row of shops facing the road, and
there l will store my goods and dispose
of them to passers by"
But here he paused and said to him.
self:
This murunga tree stands Just in
the spot where the shops will have to
come. That will never do" So,
Springing up, he seized his little axe,
and i'll five minutes the murunga tree
lay PROSTATE under his deft strokes.
"What are you doing?" screamed his
wife, who at this moment came to the
veranda, attracted by the sound.
Her husband with beaming counten-
ance begged her not to be disturbed,
telling her that he hoped in short
time TO present her with a set of gold
hairpins instead of these common silver
ones she was wearing, and a satin cloth
in place of her present cotton print.
He then proceeded to explain at length
by what steps his wealth was to be ac-
Quired, beginning with the drumsticks
and ending with the shops.
But you have cut down the tree
which was to have been the foundation
of our fortune!' she cried. And as
this fact dawned upon Cornelius Appo's
mind he looked blankly, first at his
wife, next at the murunga tree, and
''shed bitter tear" Hence the pro-
verb, Like the cutting down Of the
drumstick tree -

The Age OF Paper.

This is the age of paper. It is the

science, the products Of art and
literature. the great means of keep

nz. 1t barrels our -four, wraps ouI
goods, enters into articles of per-
sonal wear and household use, and
when we die sometimes forms our
collins. 1t rolls beneath our railway
cars, and forms our buggy tops. We
eat OF it, drink from it, wear it on our
heads, necks. bosoms and feet, carry 1t
in our pockets in lieu of hankerchief,
and tile our houses, line our carpets
with it, pack up our goods In paper
boxes, and divert our leisure moments
with paper cards We make 500, 900
tons yearly, import largely, and yet,
like Oliver Twist, ask for more. Rags,
woodpulp, straw, old rope, the bark oi
the cotton plant, and even the men,
branes in the interior of silkworm
cocoons yield 1t. We would, there,
fore, suggest that an exhibition oil
paper objects and manufactures would
flttingly commemorate the bi-centenary
of the first paper mill In this country
next year, to be held at Philadelphia
the birthplace Of the trade.

During the French Revolution.

An English witness relates how in
October of 1894 she was one day stand
ing at the door of shop to which a
beggar came TO buy slice of pumpkin.
The shopkeeper refused to let it go for
less than the price she had originally
fixed, whereupon the beggar insolently
told her that she was gangrenee d'aris-
tocratie. The unhappy shopkeeper
turned pale and cried out, ''My civisme
is beyond dispute, but take the pump
kini' The beggar's reply was, "Ahl
now you are good republicanp The
muttered comment of the shopkeeper
was, Eyes, yes, tits fine thing to be a
good republican when one has not
bread to eat"
When the threat of a beggar could
make an honest and Insignificant person
like this old market woman tremble
and turn pale is not surprising to find
that for many months after the actual
reign of terror was over, people very
generally went about under continual
sense of apprehension. The Parisians
of those days are said to have habitu-
ally worn a Revolutionary aspect {"
They had been at one time the frankest
and most vivacious people in the world
gay, open, CHEEKY and polite. The
terror had made them moroSe and sus-
picious. They walked with their heads
bent on their breasts, and many of them
had contracted habit of looking from
under the lids of their half shut eyes
before speaking, especially to strangers.
The bolder and more reckless spirits
staggered about in ultra revolutionary
costume; carmagnole Of rough cloth,
leather breeches, top boots and bon
net rouge with preposterously large
tricolored cockade at the side.

Something to Think OF.

Whatever you dislike in another
person, take care to correct in yourself
by the gentle reproof.-CSpratt.
Avoid him who, from mere curiosity
asks three questions running about g
thing that cannot interest him.-TLa,

Any one may do casual act of good
nature, but a continuation of them
shows it is part of the temperament.
-[Sterne.
Atfectation is certain deformity; BY
forming themselves on fantastic models
the young begin with being ridiculou,
and often end in being Vicious
[Blair.
Nothing more impairs authority than
too frequent OF indiscreet use of it.
If thunder itself was to be continual 1t
would excite no more terror than the
noise of mill.-CColton.
Great talents for conversation should
be attended with great politeness. He
who eclipses others owes them great
civilities; and whatever a mistaken
vanity may tell us, it is better to please
in conversation than to shine in it

Cato, being scurrilously treated by
low and vicious fellow, quietly said
to him: ga contest between us i. very
unequal, for thou canst bear i'll Ian
guage with ease, and return it with
pleasure; and to me it is unusual to
hear, and disagreeable to speak it."
To be ambitious of true honor, of
the true glory and perfection of our
natures, is the very principle and in
centive of virtue; but to be ambitious
of titles, of place, of ceremonial res
poets and civil pageantry, is as vain
and little as the things are which we
court.-[Sir p. Sidney.

The Atheist and the Flower.

When Napoleon Bonspsrte was EN-
peror Of France. he put a man by tn,
name OF Charney into prison. II.
thought Chsrney was an enemy of hi,
government, and for that reason de
prived him OF his liberty. Charney wa,
learned and profound man, and as h,
walked to and fro in the small yard into
which his prison opened, he looked ~
to the heavens, the work or Gods fng
ers, and to the moon and stars which he
ordained, and exclaimed, "AlI thing,
come by chance"
One day. while pacing his yard, b,
saw a tiny plant Just breaking the
ground near the wall. The sight of II
caused a pleasant diversion of hi.
thoughts. No other green things wa,
within his inclosure. He watched IT.
growth every day. "How came IL
there? was his natural inquiry. As il
grew, other queries were suggested.
How came these delicate little veins
In It's leavess What made its proper.
tions so perfect in every part, each new
branch taking its exact place on the
parent stock, neither too near another,
nor too much on one side.n
In his loneliness the plant became the
prisoners teacher and his valued friend.
When the flower began to unfold he wa.
filed with delight. 1t was white, pur.
pie and rose-colored, with a fine, silvery
fringe. Charney made frame to sup
port it, and did what his circumstances
allowed to shelter it from peltlng rains
and violent winds.
"All things come by chance" had
been written by him on the wall, Just
above where the flower grew. Its gen.
tie reproof, as it whispered: "There i:
One who made me, SO wonderfully
beautifully beautiful, and he 1t Is who
keeps me alive" shamed the proud
mans unbelief. He brushed the lying
words from the wall, while his heart
felt tnat, HE who made all things is
God"
But God had further blessing fol
the erring man through the humbl,
flower. There was an Italian prisonel
In the same yard whose little daughter
was permitted to visit him. The gir
was much pleased with Charney's love
for his flower. She related what she
saw to the wife of the jaIler, The story
Of the prisoner and his flower passed
from one to another, until it reached
the ears Of the amiable Empires, Jose
phine. The Empress said:
"The man who SO devotedly love
and tends a flower cannot be bat
man." so she persuaded the Emperol
to set him at liberty.
Charney carried his flow home ant

God and released him from prison.

Collecting a Debt From a Preacher

An amusing anecdote Is related of {
HawkinsvIlle merchant who sold goods
on credit to colored preacher. TIL,
man Of the gospel had made very poor
crop and it was evident to the merchant
that he had slim chance for his money.
On Saturday he saw the preacher and
said to him: "See here. parson, you've
got to pay me your account. 1 aD
going out to hear you preach to-mor.
row, and after the sermon you must
pass around the hat and raise a collec.
tion." Sure enough, the merchant was
on hand and took a front seat. The
old colored divine preached an effective
sermon, commenting on hard-hearted
sinners, and the rich man who would
not forget the world and lay up his
treasures In heaven. After the sermon
the hat was passed around and the
merchant was the first to put In a con-
tribution. He dropped half dollar in
the hat and the congregation began
throwing in dimes, quarters and halves,
until several dollars were in the hat.
When the preacher retired from the
pulpit the merchant followed him and
got the entire contents OF the hst--jus,
enough to settle the debt.

AS young man Grover Cleveland
was extremely fond of children. Ii
the bachelor apartments over his Law
offices in Buffalo the walls were Gov.
cred with photograph. of bright and
beautiful babes. He was particularly
interested in the pretty little daughter
of his partner and closest friend, Oscar
Folsom, and it is said that portrait of
the lovely child at five years old, ar.
rayed in a white dress with big blue
sash, held the place Of honor in hi.
collection.
When Oscar Folsom died he made
Cleveland co-trustee with Mrs. Folsom
of their only child, and true to hi,
trust, Cleveland watched over the
rearing and education of the girl With
the tenderest solicitude.
As the child grew to womandood the
bonds of affection drew the girl and her
guardian closer, and finally strength.
ened into the bonds of love.
An old schoolmate of Mrs. Cleveland
tells the tale of Cleveland's proposal.
When little Frances was eight years old
she was sitting on "Uncle Growers" laI
one day entertaining him with childish
prattle of what she would do when she
grew up into ga big lady" 1t wa;
about the time of Nellie Grants mar.
riage in the white house, which ha0
formed topic of family talk.
"Tm going to have a nice white
satin dress and get married in the white
house, too" she lsped.
''But thought you were going tc
marry me, and l should wait for you,
laughingly returned Mr.. Cleveland.
"Of course it will be you, for YOU
will grow up to be president then,
said the child, knowingly.
When Cleveland was elected Mr5
Folsom and her daughter were prepar-
ing to go to Europe, and on calling to
say goodbye Mr.. Cleveland claimed
from Miss Folsom the fulfilment, on
her return, of the promise made when
a child. He had performed his part OF
the bargain, and she had only to fufiI
hers and become white house bride,
