HydrophobIa Unknown in Alaska.

Probably in no country on earth is
there as large a proportion of dogs per
capita as can be boasted by the inhab-
itants of the Indian village at Sitka.
To the casual observer by daylight
these dogs are multitudinous enough,
but they blossom in full regalia OF
canine beauty along about midnight.
And they are certainly as numerous as
the leaves of Vallombrosa. There is
one blessed popularity about these
dogs and a pertinent fact which de-
mands perhaps something more than
mere comment.
At no time within the memory of
man has there been a mad dog heard of
In Sitka or its vicinity, and no authen-
ticated case of hydrophobia within the
limits of Alaska. The natives are
brought in direct contact with the
dogs and handle them fearlessly, and
there must be many times when they
are badly bitten, but never, so far as
known, have any evil results attended
the wound. Whether this be owing to
the climate or to some popularity of
the dogs themselves is unknown. A
scientific investigation as to the cause
of this immunity from one of the most
terrible diseases which afIlict humanity
would be interesting -Sitka Alaskan.

with his son Bill, he ''arrove" at the Ho-

Exercise for Men Advanced in Years.


Walking is the type of "bottom" ex-
ercise and is the most hygienic of all
kinds for the elderly man, provided it
is prolonged enough to represent a suf-
ficient amount of work. Nothing is so
good for the man of fifty years as a
cunning tramp, or long pedestrian tours
like those the Alpinists make. But it
is necessary to regard the social exigen
cies, which refuse to give everybody
the desired number of hours and COM
pei another choice. There are many
other bottom" exercises that exact a
larger expenditure of force than walk
ing, without going beyond the degree
of effort and rapidity that the arteries
of the elderly man can safely bear.
Many of what are called open air
games, like tennis, lawn tennis, and
even rowing, when practiced not for
racing, but as a recreation-that is
with liveliness graduated to the res
piratory capacity of the rower-pro-
woke, for example, in one or two hours
an elimination of the products of dis
assimilation and an acquisition of oxy-
gen equivalent to what one can get
from eight or ten hours of walking.
They permit the busy man to gain
time, compensation for the shorter
duration of the exercise by its intensity; ;
but that in such way that he can get
the general consecutive effects of ex-
ercise while avoiding it's general imme-
diate effects, superactivity of the circu-
lation of the blood and of respiration.

The highly digestible quality of the
oyster considered as food was known
at very early period. When Sergius
Orata ''ennobled the Lucrine oysters"
the British variety was unknown to the
Romans, but Sallust, at least fifty
years B. G., says of the Britons that
there is some good in them after all, as
they produce an oyster.
Sergius had his beds off Baise, and
made a profit out of them, as they
were much in request as a prelude to a
banquet, and were esteemed besides
for their medicinal virtues. "They
nourish wonderfully" we are told,
''and solicit rest" being more healing
than any drug or mixture that the
apothecaries can compound London

Disgrace for a Rothschild.

Commercial disaster to any member
of the Rothschild family is as great a
disgrace as crime is to any other family.
This was illustrated by the attempts of
Baron Gustav de Rothschild to end his
existence. His attempt at self destruc-
ton followed close upon his loss of
40, 900, 600 francs on the London mar
ket. The attempt was failure, and
in that respect resembled his specula-
ton. His was not the first affair of
the kind in the RothschiId family.

An old sea dog. Sawyer by name,
was a privileged character on certain
man.of-war because Of his age and the
length of time he bad been in the serv-
ice. He eked out his pay by making
and selling uniforms for the other men,
and es he had the market entirely to
hinself IL was natural that he should
become lille autocratic in his deal
inQs. On one occasion a young sailor
wished to buy pair of white duck
working trousers.
Old Sawyer holding pair OF second
hand trousers at arms length, descant-
ed upon their various excelleDcics until
he was compelled to pause for breath.
At that point the young fellow ventured
to ask meekly:
"And what might the price be, Mr..
SawyerT'
The old man hemmed and hawed
and began thus:
"Waal young feller, / reckon you
know what white duck costs from the
paymaster, don't your Fifty cents a
yerd, amt it2 And so many yards is
two dollars altogether. Then there's
the thread, ten cents well call it, two
dollars and ten cents; and the making
will bring it up to three fifty. | calker-
late ye won't quarrel with that; and
then there's this blue patch, he con-
tinued, strolzingit lovingly, II put that
in myself last summer, an it's a good
piece of work. Iln 'fraid l shall have
to charge you twenty cents extry for
that patch, say three dollars and sew
enty cents altogether"
The money was paid and received
without a word, neither party seeming
to think it surprising that patched
trousers should cost more than whole
nes.-Youth's Companion.

All the muscles of the eyes are so ar
