The Mad Dog.

There are a great many mistakes cur
rent as to the nature and symptoms of
hydrophobia. 1t does not occur most
frequently in the summer, but in the
spring, nor has the rabid dog, as a rule,
a dread of water, nor does he refuse to
drink. On the contrary, even after
the disease is fully established, the
mad dog often tries his best to drink,
sometimes plunging his nose deeply
under water in his effort to swallow,
but is unable to do so on account of
spasms which affect his throat. Rab-
les is a disease the course and symp-
toms of which are as well known as
any other. The first symptoms are a
restlessness and uneasiness on the part
of the dog; then he begins to have hal
lucinations; he will run to particu-
lar spot as though he saw some one
there: he will turn his head and snap
and bark in one direction at an invisi-
BILE enemy. A well-marked symptom
is his tendency to gnaw and swallow
hard objects, bits of wood, stones and
such like. But the bark of a rabid dog
is a thing which once heard can never
be forgotten; it is impossible to mis-
take it. and if the dog gives no other
svmntom than a hoarse, muffied bark,
followed by three or four gurgling
efforts from the bottom of his throat,
there can be no uncertainty after that

INOlANA'S THOUSAND LAKES.
A Singular Group But Little Known Even
in Its Own State.

in Its Own State.
A person might look on the map
until he was blind, says the New York
Sun, without discovering the curious
fact, too insignificant from a geo.
graphical view to be taken into ac-
count in the collection of general to-
biographical data, that, huddled to-
gether in the northwestern corner of
Indiana, are more than one thousand
natural lakes, ranging in size from ten
to one hundred acres. They are all
within the boundaries of Steuben, De
kalb, Lagrange, Noble and Kosciusko
counties. three hundred and twelve of
them being in Noble county alone.
Such is the isolation of this extraor-
dinary group of lakes that the average
Indiana citizen, Outsides of the small
area in which the system is situated,
is unaware of it's existence. 1t is en-
tirely separate from the river system
Of the state, and corresponds in char
acter with that famous group of lakes
III Orange and Sullivan counties, New
York; and Wayne and Pike counties,
Pennsylvania-literally great springs
of crystal water, with bottoms Of the
whitest sand. The wild charm of
mountain environment that is the
characteristic of their eastern coun-
terparts is lacking, however, in the
Indiana lakes, although they occupy
the highest situation in the state.
Nowhere else in Indiana is there a
lake of any size whatever These
sheets of water are the natural homes
of the small-mouth black bass, and
ex-Fish Commissioner Dennis, of that
state, declares that the small-mouth
black bass that inhabit the waters OF
every part of the country came from
that group of lakes. Nowhere else on
the continent have these fish been
caught equal in size to those taken
from Indiana waters. The largest
small-mouth black bass of which
there is any record was caught this
season in Sylvan lake, at Rome City,
by Sidney E. Smith, of that place. 1t
weighed nine and one-half pounds.
Last season DIR. Meyer, of Kendallville,
took one in the same lake that
weighed nine pounds. Sylvan lake is
the largest of the Indiana waters, its
natural size having been enlarged by
draining to make it a supply reservoir
in the days of canal navigation. 1t is
five miles long and mile wide.

calliope and coral necklace of a
chameleon hue, and, securing a suite
of rooms at a principal hotel, he en-
gagged the head waiter as his coadj jutor
He then dispatched a letter of the
most unexceptional caligraphy extant,
inviting the young lady to a matinee.

consider herself sacrifcable to his de-
sires, and sent a polite note of refusal,.

NORTHERN INSECTS.
Animal and Vegetable Life Found Up
Near the Pole.

Near the Pole
1t is matter of surprise to all who,
1or the first time, have any experience
IN high northern ATTITUDES, to note the
great abundance of insect life in
Alaska. The writer of this paragraph
was especially interested in noting the
large amount of larvae and other low
conditions of animal life which was
carried down from the melting glaciers
into the rivers and streams which
flowed from them. 1t is to this that
we nave to attribute the great album
dance OF the higher forms of animal life
which prevails Fish especially are in
such quantity near the coast, attracted
by this abundance, that it seems like
repeating the tales of Baron Mum
chausen to the listener. The young
son OF the writer, who was with him
IN this expedition, was, with couple
OF Indians in a boat, able to drive
salmon into narrow creeks in such
abundance that the boat could be
driven against the fish in their en-
deavors to escape. They could have
been dragged up in shoals by any
strong and ordinary net. In the
earlier history of Colorado very much
stress was laid on the fact that Ere
mont saw bee on one of the high ele-
vatlons while crossing the Rocky
mountains Lieut.. Peary, in his re-
cent expeditions to North Greenland,
found humble bee on the north coast
or Greenland-the highest point of
land yet reached by human being so
far as known. This explorer states
that not only bees but other insects
abound as soon as the spring fairly
opens. Flowers of many kinds are
particularly beautiful and abundant,
aHording a good chance for honey and
pollen-collecting insects to lay up
rich stores in advance of their long
arctic winters.

to find around Sandwich more beauti-

he found an artificial pond bordered
with concrete, which contained several

President Cleveland has been sur
veyed by local tailor for new suit
of clothes, and have been able to as
certain his exact dimensions. He is
fifty-seven inches in circumference at
the equator, which is just three inches
less than five feet, and therefore, ac-

must be nineteen inches He has

His chest measurement is fifty-One

How q Colored Man Tried to See the Dog
Show Without Paying the Price.

The colored mans penchant for dogs has
become proverbial and was demonstrated
1t the close of the lliindio Clubs recent
show. L. d. McClarty. q colored man. re-
siding at No. 81 Darnell street. had an IN
satiable desire to SEQ the handsome dogs
which he was told were 20 be seen at the
show. But Mr.. McClarty disliked to part
with the 25 cents necessary for admission.
How TO see The show and retain the IS
cents was the question to be solved. The
solution by McClarty. although it was not
successful, was ingenious. He owned two
small rat terriers. as black as black could
be. Taking these under his arms he went
to the hall and. presenting himself at the
door, told the ticket taker that the dogs
lad escaped from the hall and he had gone
down after them. The ruee failed. how
ever. and McClArty was compelled to pay
his quarter for admission. Inside che ball

lntosh until he was about to depart. when
Sergeant Hyland noticed the dogs and
thought McClarty had no right to them as
be was endeavorIng to conceal them. The
officer stopped him and he said that they
were his dogs and had been entered in the
show under the name of Watson. An in
vestigation WAS begun and disclosed that
there was no such name on the list OF
entries. The correct state Of facts was
afterwards learned and McClarty allowed
to depart with she dogs

Lysle Justice and Sherman Olive, the
%South-side boy burglars, are yet confined
in the female department. of the station
house. and were visited yesterday by their
mothers and numerous little brothers and
sisters. Yesterday afternoon detectives
McGuff and Thornton located the watch
stolen from Mr.. T.. l.. Williams, of HOyt
avenue. which completes the list of stolen
goods in the hands of the police. The dis.
covery of the watch brought to light the
operations of another youth, who aspired
to larceny fame. but who was not arrested.

Flowers Being in Excess of Expectations.
A feature of this years observance of
Easter was the enormous demand for fow-

were at a premium. 1t is related that some
florists started ont wagons to the country
districts In search of Rreeneries, in hope of
obtaining q fresh supply. but with indiffer-
emit success. AS q consequence of the scare
ity, prices held up and very common roses
and wilted pinks sold at first-class rates.

mand, said last night: The demand for
flowers showed an increase of at least -
Dor cent. over previous years. The reason
is that our people are getting better Off,
