THE WORM IN A DOGS TONGUE.
The Practice Of Extracting 1t Is Pro-
nounced Useless and Cruel.

h Practice of Extracting It Is Pro-
nOuneed Useless and Cruel.
George Fleming, a noted English
veterinarian, in his work on hydro
phobia, says that the poet Gratius
Faliscus, Of the First century OF our
era, speaks of the fable Of the worm"
in the dogs tongue being the cause Of
rabies. Pliny, who lived in the same
century, writes, IF the 'lytta, or small
worm, be removed from "A dogs tongue
he will never become mad or lose his
appetite, " and If the worm be carried
thrice around a fire and then fed to a
person who has been bitten by a mad
dog that person will never have hydro
phobia-"
Most surgeons, as well as veterinari-
ans in general, caution their readers
against resorting to such a cruel prac-
tice, especially when the worm" has

gives the following sound argument in
opposition TO this cruel and useless
practice.
Removing the worm from the
dogs tongue, or 'worming, as it is
popularity termed, has been practiced
from the days Of Pliny to our own
time, and is. as might be expected,
perfectly useless, nay, injurious and
painful operation. This 50 called
worm lies beneath the tongue, in the
middle, and is a somewhat loose, tendi-

TALENTS IN A BARREL.
The Way in which a Persistent Writer
Got His Place Among the stars.

The Way in which a Persistent Writer
Got His Place Among the Stars.
A good many years ago an American
~magazinist, whose name is now famous,
sent his first manuscript to a magazine.
Ii was rejected. After a time he sent
another, which was also rejected, and
next month another. which met the
same fate.
Instead of being crushed by all this
III fortune he began &c send in two 60
three manuscripts every month. con
sisting of essays, sketches, poems, ro-
mance AID tales of adventure. but not
me Of them all was accepted by the
editor of the magazine in the course Of
the half year during which the patient
writer kept up his merry labors.
This writer, however. did not become
discouraged, but continued to send
more and more manuscript to the office
Of the magazine. and at last they were
thrown into a waste paper barrel near
the editorial table, without being look
ed at, for the editor had become dis
grumtled over the scribbler's pertinac-
ity. The receptacle in which the manu-
scripts were kept came to be known in
the Office as "'s barrel" and spsey
month, Till the end of the year, he con-
tinued to add TO its stock. The editor
lad ceased TO take any interest in this
paper stock, or in its growth, or in the
barrel, but often told humorous stories
about it TO his literary visitors, who
laughed at them, as a matter Of course.
One of these visitors, after laughing
at a story about the barrel and the
prolific contributor 20 il, got the notion
that there must be something in" a
writer Of such extraordinary pertinac-
ity. He took out of the barrel a manu-
script, which happened 10 be a poem,
looked al il, liked its opening. grew
enthusiastic as he continued 10 read it,
and when he had finished its perusal
Elodned the writer Of il. and told the
editor of the magazine that this was a
grand work which ought TO be given
10 the world at once. IL was printed
in next months magazine, 70 the
amazemort of its writer.
The popularity Of the new poet was
SOC made manifest, and further pro-
dUctions Of his pen were now in de-
mand. The old barrel was ransacked.
The essays and other things there were
eagerly seized by the editor Of the mag
azine, and were printed month after
month.
The writer Of the rejected manu-
scripts began TO hear OF his renown.
High remuneration was offered TO him
for his handiwork. His name is now
known far and wide.

WHY OIL Gains THE SEA.

IL smoothes Out the RipplsS so the Wind
Can't Get a Grip ON the Water.
The action of oil in calming the sea is
now so generally recognized that the
new rules a 70 life saving appliances
require that every boat of sea going
vessels and all life boats shall carry
ION gallon Of oil and a vessel of ap-
proved pattern for distributing il on
the water in rough weather" The 20
tency Of oil in smoothing waves was
recently explained by Lord Rayleigh
before the Royal institution in a lucid
lecture.
The well known scientists expert
ments demonstrate that foam or froth
is caused by impurities in liquids. Thus
on shaking up a bottle containing pure
water, we get no appreciable foam, but
taking a mixture OF water with 5 per
cent. of alcohol there is a much greater
tendency TO foam. Camphor, glue and
gelatine, dissolved in water, greatly in
crease its foaming qualities. and soap
still more.
Lord Rayleigh finds that sea water
foasns, not on account Of its saline mat
ter, but in consequence of the pres
nee Of something extracted by wave
action from seaweeds. BY simply put
ting his finger into water which was
moving vigorously under the influence
of a few camphor scrapings the con
tamination Of the water by the infini-
tesimal amount Of grease sufficed TO
form an invisible film over it and 10
neutralize the foaming action produced
by the dissolved camphor.
The effect Of oil on waves. as sew
eral physicists have proved. is not TO
subdue the huge swell. but 10 smooth
and tone down it, ripplcs. each u

London's severest Winter.

The great snow storm, when the
Thames was frozen over for nearly four
months, occurred in 16S3-S4. The frost
continued without i~ntenmission from
December to February, snow coming
down almost continuously, 50 thar some
parts Of the country were well nigh i'm
passable. To add to the discomfort a
bitter east wind blew all the time.
Ships anxious to enter the port of Lon
don were obliged 10 remain at the
mouth Of the Thames, and the crews
suffered great privations. Provisions
were dear, horses and cattle often died
of cold, and scarcely a bird lived
through the winter.
The citizens Of London. however. re-
solving on having some profit out Of the
extraordinary weather, built a regular
colony on the ice bound Thames.
Shops, taverns. coffee houses, booths
for dramatic representations. printing
Offices and similar buildings sprang up
like magic. This winter was probably
the Severest ever known in England,
