HYDRoPHoBIA IN A HoRsE.-Recently
a case of hydrophobia IN a two-year-
old colt was developed on the farm of
Eric Anderson near Nordness. The
tenant on the farm went out in the
morning and found the colt in the pig
pens chasing the pigs around. In at
tempting to drive the colt out the man
was bitten on the arm, but luckily the
teeth did not penetrate the skin, only
tore it loose, and 1t is expected no bad
rcsultC will follow. The animal ran
all over the place, chasing other stock,
biting itself, and trying to bite the
others, and acting in other ways as a
mad dog acts. 1t was allowed TO con.
tinue until exhausted in order to see
il in all stages of its madness, and
finally fell and died with every symp-
tom of genuine case of hydrophobia.
The above facts are supplied by DIR.

examine the case.-Decorah Republi-

A Political Paradise.

The little sub-A1pino principnlity of
Lichtenstein, which is separated from
Switzerland by the Rhine, is subject
to the overlordship OF the Austrian
Emperor; but it enjoys degree of
independence and self-govornment
which is more Swiss than Austrian.
The inhabitants nre free from the
Austrian military conscription, and
they have no military burdens to pay.
They arc also freed from all Imperial
taxation. Their local parliament, the
Lichtensteiner Landtag,, meets once n
year, and in the course of q week it
gets through all the necessary legisla-
ton, and sends it's report to the
prince. This years report, which has
just been passed by the unanimous
vote of the Landtag, exhibits Lichten-
stein as veritable political paradise.
"The favorable situation of the fnan-
ces of the Fatherland, says this par
liamentary report, "renders it both n
duty and satisfaction to recommend
considerable lowering of the exist
ing taxes on tho soil" The prince
gave his sanction to the project, and n
law was passed which has made tho
very small local self-taxation smaller
than ever.--Ncw York Dispatch.

Red Foxes Too Plentiful.

About fifteen years ago number of
red foxes were brought from Kentucky
TO Missouri, the object being to furnish
sport for mon and dogs The animals
wero turned loose in tho vicinity of
otterville, Cooper County, and in
short time "replenished tho Garth"
to such an extent that oil the farmers
except ardent sport-lovers regret the
experiment which brought the shrewd
animals here. They have become
costly nuisance in the destruction of
pigs, lambs, game and poultry, and
what fox-hunting is now done is largely
with view to determination. Tho
sportsmen, according to correspond
ont of the st. Louis Republic, soon
discovered that the common hound is
entirely inadequate to tho task of cap
turing foxes, and regular fox hounds
OF the best blood have been imported.
Many tricks wero rosortcd 20 by which
tho foxes evaded their enemies. Tho
animals had observed that tho trains
on the Missouri Pacific Railroad ran
by regularly at the Same time each
day. Tho next time they wcrs dis
turbed they relieved each other.,altorr-
ntcly in the race until tho train waa
almost due, when Mr.. Fox, taking tho
last resort, led tho pack slowly toward
the railroad, allowing them tn get worry
close, and ss II consequence ;ne honr;,s
became very much excited and mad. n
grcnt deal OF noise ON the hot trail.
md so could not hear tho npproachirs
train. MIR. Fox WAS 80 accurately OH
time that when he struck tho track tho
fast express was in sight. The wise
and daring Mr.. Fox took up tho
center of tho track toward tho
flying engine, and barely Ind
time to pnss through long cut
and Jump from tho track whep tho
grent engine cnmo stcaming and thun-
dering past. No doubt Roynard felt
sensation of sweet revenge as no
lcapcd safely away, and, glancing
backward, saw tho fiery machine dash
down upon his bowling enemies. Mr..
Fox no doubt expected complete de-
strnctien of his rursucrs, but only two
of the dogs were hushcd forever.
This was encouraging enough for tho
schemin3 trickster to repeat tho
strategy, nm many q dog was laid
low. Other shrowd tricks hnvo been
resorted to, but the lntest and most
daring was that of few nights ngo.
II. II. Burnett, farmer living in tho
vicinity of these foxes, heard pncll
of hounds approaching his house nbont
midnight. They mado 10 Init until
they reached tho bnck door,. when
they seemed to lose tho track entirely.
After several minutes yclping and
diagnosing or some other "nosing"
about the back yard ono good, old re-
linble trailer sounded tho fresh trail
note Mt the kitchen door. In mo-
ment the whole pack WIS at his heels
and NIL came smiling and believing
through tho kitchen, dining-room and
front room and ont Mt the front win
dow, which happened to DO open, and
struck straight for the rnilrond, ns
though they were on fresh trnil.
