THE REAPERs.

The long days toll was over
A bird sang in tree;
The sunshine kissed the clover
Good-by, and-she kissed mel
Then lovelier seemed the sunshine,
And sweeter sang the bird;
And II the clover listened
My throbbing heart II heard,
For all day long, a-reaping
In fields Of silver-shine,
Ifelt her heart a-creeping
And cuddlIng close to mine.
And lighter seemed the labor,
And winsomer the wheat
That spread its golden tresse5
For the falling OF her feet.
And when the toll was over
A bird sang in tree;
Tho sunshine kissed the clover
Good night, and-she klsse / me!

JOINT KILL THE DOG.
Good Advice to Persons Who Have Been
Bitten and Fear Hydrophobia.


If you arc bitten by a dog, don't kill
the beast, but take every preoaution to lot
him 1.-Two for II few days at least"
Professor Logoria, chief of tho Pastcur
institute in Chicago. made this statement
to u reporter, and no is supposed to DO an
authority.
''It is II great mistake people make" he
said, ito start in mt once to kill u dog that
has bitton them, or have it killed. 1t has
been proved scientifically, and is admitted
now by all physicians who are posted that
hydrophoba is not a spontaneous disease
and cannot DO given to u person by dog
bite unless the dog be mad when it causes
tho wound Tho dogs condition, If 1t be
mad, will he manifested within two DAYS,
or two weeks at the latest. BY permit
ting it to live, therefore, the physicians
can tell definitely whether the person Bit
ten is liable TO have hydrophobia If the
dog goes mad within that time they know
the person bitten may DO inoculated with
the samo dread disease, and may have the
same fate. If the dog does not 90 mad.
then there is no fear of hydrophobia, and
the wound can be treated as any other
wound would be. BY killing tho dog you
destroy tho chance of certainty MS to tho
fate of the person bitten and leave the i'm
agination full rein to fear tho worst re-
suits, when it might have boon possible to
know in advance that hydrophobia was
impossible.
"Of course" continued tho doctor,
"thcrc arc exceptions to this rulo that will
suggest themselves TO persons Whom n
dog is so vicious that 10 leave it alive is to
cndangcr other people, then the first duty
would DO to destroy it unless it could DO
carefully secluded where the possibility Of
harm would be removed. But even in
such eases where the dog is killed it should
be done by physician, who should keep
portion of the brain, by which can DO de-
tcrmincd whether the dog had rabies or
not. "-Chicago Tribune.
