The Manatee in Washington.

The manatee, or sea COW, two speci.
mems Of which have been on exhibition
here, is now almost an extinct species.
The two seen in Washington were cap
tured in the Indian river, Fla. The
larger of the two weighed about 800
pounds and was nine feet long. The
other was a foot shorter and weighed
about $50.
The two in Washington were said to
be the only specimens that ever lived
more than a week after capture, and
they were apparently in good health.
Capt. Zellers says he hunted several
weeks for these specimens, following
them for a number of days after he first
discovered them. They usually are
found in herds which combine for
mutual protection when attacked, plac-
ing their young in the center. They
are great towards, always trembling in
fear of danger. Nature has failed to
provide them with any weapon Of de-
Tense except the power to outswim the
sharks and whales.
The disappearance of the sea COW Il
accounted for by the fact that the hide

THE WORM IN A DOGS TONGUE
The Practice of Extracting II IL Pro
unce Useless and Cruel.

n Practice of Extracting II IL Pro
nouncei 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 o.
rabies. Pliny. who lived in the same
century, writes, 'Tf the 'lytta, or small
worm, be r"moved 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 .
person who has been bitten by a mad
dog that person will never have hydro
phobia"
Most surgeons, as well as veterinar4
in general, caution their readen
against ~resorting to such a cruel prac
tee especially when the worm" has
no bearing whatever upon the dogs
ability to transmit hydrophobia, the
most dreadful of all diseases. That
standard work, Rabies and Hydro
phobia," by Fleming, London, 1872.
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 wi
time, and is, as might be expected, a
perfectly useless, nay, injurious and
painful operation. This so called
worm lies beneath the tongue, in the
middle, and is a somewhat loose, tendi.
nous looking fold Of membrane. 1t
constitutes what is called the 'frenum'
in technical language, and is in fact
the bride Of the tongue, and is de
signed TO assist the animal in tapping
When in its ordinary relaxed condition
this frsenum looks like a small worm,
and the resemblance is perhaps even
more complete when it has been tori
out.
Hence the name of the operation
which is a cruel one, giving the poo
dog a very sore mouth and rendering
the tongue less capable of performing
its important functions. The suppose
ton that this procedure will prevent a
dog from becoming spontaneously rab
i'd, or liable TO infection if bitten, is ex
cessively absurd, as the presence of the
imaginary worm has no influence what
v e in the production of the malady,
while its absence must be "A source Of
inconvenience to the dog, and far more
likely 10 produce rabies than 70 prevent

Macbeth's "pearl top" and
"pearl glass lamp-chimneys
are made Of tough glass that
costs four times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on COM
mon chimneys, just as the
work on a dress is proper
toned to cost of stuff.
The dealer is right in saying
he can't afford to sell them at
the prices of common glass
chimneys.
And. what will become of
his chimney trade if his Chin
neys never break ? He is apt
to be wrong there. He can
afford to charge a fair price
and give new chimneys for all
that break in use.
Have a talk with him.
