DisposinH OF a Difficulty.

Judge Kent, the we'll known Ameri-

summary fashion disposed OF a quib-
BILE, such us lawyers SO often set up in
defense of their clients A man was
indicted for burglary, and the evil
dence on tho trial showed that it con-
sisted in cutting q hole through tent
in which several persons were sleep
ing, and then introducing his head
and arm through the hole and alb,
stracting vraious articles of value.
1t was claimed by prisoners coun-
sci that, inasmuch as he never actu-
ally entered the tent with his whole
body, he had not committed the Of
Tense charged, and must therefore be
acquitted.
The Judge, in reply to this plea, told
the jury that il they we're not sat
istied that the whole man was in
volved in the crime, they might
bring in verdict of guilty against
SO much OF him as was thus in
volved.
The Jury. after brief consultation,
found the right arm, the right shoulder
and the head guilty Of the offense of
burglary.
The Judge, therefore, sentenced the
right arm, the right shoulder and the
head to imprisonment with hard Ia
Dor in the State prison for two years
remarking that as to the rest Of the
mans body, he might do with it as he
pleased. Bits.

The irreverent Register is about the last place We should look to for light on any part of the sacred Scriptures. But this is queer world-a world in which pearls are found in clans and bril- liant colors in black coal. So we sup pose we ought not to be unduly sur prised when we find a ray of light shining from the Register on a passage of Scripture. The bible speaks of the wayfaring man, though a fool" Mo- body has ever undertaken to explain just how much of fool the wayfarng man is. The Register says that the wayfaring man has become subscrib- CT to it, and that his reason for so sub scribing was because he preferred the English he found in the Register to that which was spread before him in the Journal and Courier" This state ment will be helpful to commentators on the bible who may want to know and explain just how much of a fool the wayfaring man is.

DON'T KILL THE DOG.
Physic'an's Advice to Persons Who Have
 the Misfortune to be Bitten.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.l
 It will surprise many people to know that hardly one in fifty or seventy-fve Of the dogs reported to be mad Is mad. yet that is what well-known Pitts burg physician said last night. He went further and said that there had been but one genuine case of hydropho- bia in Pittsburg In several years.
 Impress this upon people who have been bitten by d supposed mad dog don't kill the dog. It Is about the worst thing that can be done. for 1t gives no chance to the victim bitten to know whether he was bitten by mad dog or not. The dog should be carefully penned up. and after a time killed Then let a section of his spinal cord be submitted to competent person, and he will soon tell whether the dog had rabies or not.
 When person is bitten by a dog the first thing to do is to suck the blood out of the wound and with 1t the virus If the dog has rabies. But care must be taken that there be no cuts on the lips or in the mouth. Where the dogs teeth have had to go through clothing before reaching the flesh the chances are better for the poisonous saliva would likely be taken off in penetrating the cloth. After the blood has been sucked out physician should be con- suited and cauterization resorted to- If no physician be near, the wound should be cauterized any way, well and deep, with a hot iron if less severe means cannot be obtained. Under the old methods of curing hydrophobia, when the virus once got into the system there could really be no cure. The case vas fatal. Pasteur's 'attcnuated vi- rus plan. from the results called forth. seem to be a great benefit. But don't kill the dog"
 A recent article in medical review says that Pazonni and Centanni say they cannot only continue immunity from the bites of d dog afflicted with rabies. but can cure hydrophobia after the disease has developed.

The Iron Duke as n sepoy General.

From the Westminster Gazettc.l
 A hitherto unpublished letter of the Duke of Wellington was read at the speech day of King Williams collcse, Isle of Man, on Wednesday. The letter was written to Colonel Wilke, one of the garrison of St. Helena when Napo- leon was there. and 1t contained the fol- lowing interesting reference to the dukes greatest battle:
 They used to call me the Sepoy gem eral. It Is due to my having been a sepoy general that l won the battle of Waterloo. It taught me where to place men with whom could trust the honor of England. and where to place men who were not so satisfactory. l had troops with me at Wa terloo fin whose hands the safety and honor of king and country could be well placed l had numbers of others, some Of whom I could not trust at all; some I could barely trust, and others who were not properly trained. It was owing to the fact that my hay ing learned in the Sepoy wars to place the best of the men in the parts of the field where the greatest courage and bravery were required, and others where those qualities were not required, that won the battle of Waterloo. ...

COMMERCE AND VEST RIrER.

Do the people of this region realize that the narrow, and shallow and stink ing clam-garden known as the West rlver has suddenly become highly inn portant navigable waterway of the United States? We don't think they do, and yet few people who live in New Haven and who don't object to having things done for them at other peoples expense, have made the dis covery that Commerce Qarge c, MT. Printer) is decaying because West river is not as navigable as it would be if there were a draw in the Kimberly ave- nue bridge at a cost to the town Of Orange of $40OOO or $5O,OOO. So they have been or are at work to induce the Secretary of War to revive Commerce by ordering the town of Orange to make such draw and pay for it.
 This is an elegant scheme. It is only equalled by some of the schemes that get put through congress for the improvement of Commerce by widening and dredging Cripple Creek, Mud Run, and other important navigable water ways of the United States. Is this what Commerce has been waiting and lan- gushing for in New Haven, and will it die if it does not get sight of it? If it will it would be kindness to let it die, for a Commerce that depends upon an increase in the navigability of West river must be about ready to go.
 How about the Commerce that is daily carried on over the Kimberly avenue bridge? The electrical fiery chariots are rushing back and forth over it from early morning to the next morning carrying thousands and thous- ands of people. The bridge is con- stantly echoing with the hoofs of horses drawing vehicles of business or pleas- ure. Hundreds of bicycles roll over it daily. Is all this great and really im- portant movement to be interfered with
 by a drawbridge built in the name Of Commerce for the benefit of two or
 three, if for the benefit of anybody, and at the expense of those who will receive
 no profit from it, and who will receive constant trouble and annoyance from it? Doesn't the greatest good to the greatest number come in here some- where?
 l We can hardly believe that this pre- | posterous scheme is seriously thought of by anybody. If it is the sooner those | interested in the shooting of folly. economy in the use of public money, and the convenience and comfort of the l public. enter their protests the better. We hereby enter ourS

Examinations for Nurses. From the London Hospital.]

Now if you were i'll yourself,'' was asked of the experienced head of nurse training school, what class of women would you prefer to nurse you?" An intelligent, upright servant, cer- tainly," was the unhesitating response. In very short time it is to be feared that this most useful description of nurse may cease to exist. All such may be forced out of the nursing ranks, even if they are ever permitted to enter them,by the ever growing craze for ex- aminations. When applied to practical work and every detail of the personal care of the sick, then examinations are admirable indeed. But just now, theory" threatens to crush out prac- tice. Examinations for nurses are rap idly attaining equal importance with those in the medical department, with the certain result that the ordinary in- telligent and womanly probationer has to give place to the student to whom nursing is merely another science to study and not an art to be loved. The much jeered at smoothing of pillows" as we'll as the hunnoring Of restless patients and the encouragement of weak-hearted ones. may seem beneath the notice of the hard-headed young women whose whole thoughts are cen- tered on gaining first class diploma. In fact, working for the latter necessi- tates close application to books. and leaves little opportunity for that loving study of humanity for which a nurses life offers unusual scope. Nurses to suc- ceed and prosper must, however, be taught to nurse patients, not to treat cases.

A New Use for a Parrot.


 The talents of parrots have, we read just been turned in new direction by the authorities of French town. It has hitherto been the habit to more or less fritter away the intellectual force of parorts by merely teaching them to say naughty and witty things for to use such expressions as Pretty Poll" or Poor Fellow" The municipal au- thorities of the town referred to have, perhaps the future will prove, opened up a wider field of action for the parrot. The poor box at the town hall, it seems, had for a long time past been in a, con- dition of chronic emptiness, which did not reflect much credit on the charitable feelings of the inhabitants. To remind them of their duty toward their poorer neighbors the parrot was purchased, which has ben installed close to the box and trained to cry Tor the poor, if you please It appears that the re- suit of the innovation has been highly satisfactory. pence and silver coin hav- ing been freely given in response to the birds appeal The idea, as is remarked, is capable of being applied in variety of ways. To denote to the passer-by that he is in the proximity of wet paint on any shop front parrots might be used, or to remind people on entering a house to wipe their feet on the door mat before going up stairs the birds services could be employed, instead of the time honored placard "Essuyez vos pieds, s. V. p.,' to be met with in French houses. In fact there may be a new opening for parrots.
