HYDRoPHoBIA IN ENGLAND.
A Case Which Has Interested British
Medical Journalists.

- O&oo VIM hfAo AhtoTcehoU otICE5n
Medical Journalists.
The prevalence of rabies gives a timely
Interest to ON article on the diagnosis of
quarterly number of the British journal
OF Comparative Pathology and Thsrapeu-
tics. The article illustrates the general
Ignorance of the lay public regarding the
symptoms of rabies in the dog by. refer
enoe to fatal case of hydrophobia "a the
human subject which recently occurred at
Croydon.
Tho dog, a fox terrier, suddenly, with
out tho slightest provocation, bit bis mas
ter In the left hand. The animal was
taken away and chained up, but escaped
and bit girl in the hand and then re-
turned to its own homo and bit q boy in
the leg. At this stage veterinary surgeon
was called in, who promptly recognized
that tho dog was rabid and had it de-
stroyed. The owner, however, refused to
believed that the animal was anything
moro than habitually vicious and, though
he bad his hand dressed by his medical at
tendant, he declined to go to Paris for the
Pasteur treatment.
Meanwhile the dogs brain was sent to
the Royal Veterinary college and, as the
result Of experimental incubation Of rab-
bits, Professor McFadyean was able in less
than three weeks to confirm the diagnosis
and Immediately telegraphed TO Croydon
Even then, however, the man whom the
dog had bitten could not be induced to
undergo the Pasteur operation. He con-
tinued In apparent health for six weeks
after he received the bite, when he export
enced feeling which he regarded os the
premonitory symptom Of an attack Of in
huenza. The next day he found difficulty
in swallowing His medical attendant pro-
nounced him to be suffering from hydro
phobia, and death followed in six days.
In discussing this painful case it is
argued that there was little room for
donbt that the dog was decidedly rabid on
the day before he bit his master, who had
observed that the animal displayed an IN
usual desire to attack other dogs when
taken out for a walk. In all probability
rabies would have been detected at this
stage had veterinary opinion been
sought. The article concludes: "From
other cases that have been brought under
our notice we know that the full impor-
TANGO to which 1t is entitled is not always
attached to the fact that dog not previ-
ously vicious has developed marked pro-
pensity to bite other animals of his own
species, or has bitten his master or some
other person without provocation. In
every such case it is safe to consider the
dog rabid, at least to the extent Of taking
the most absolute precautions against his
doing further mischief. London Letter.

Danger In Wandering Shot.

In spite Of the utmost care on the part
Of shooters there are many fatal or MAIN
ing accidents. What happens when no care
is exercised is q matter Of almost daily re-
port for newspapers. Bullets glance around
corners in q way that makes the woods al-
ways place Of danger. The eccentric
courses Of shot from shotguns are seldom
known, but certain it is that they some
times leave the muszles Of the guns to fly
almost at right angles to the direction OF
the aim. An Englishman aimed at
driver pheasant high in the air. His host
was far out of the ordinary range Of the
gun as it was then aimed. One of the
shot hit him in the neck. The shot had
left the gun Mt an. anglo that took it five
rods to one side of the direction the rest of
the charge took. Like accidents have been
recorded, while many kills OF game are
told of that arc inexplicable save by the
fact OF wandering shot So it is that
many OF the knowing sportsmen refuse to
shoot unless all persons are directly to the
right or left of them lest O stray puts out

How Marriages wess Contracted and TIN
Men Who Tied the Knots.

How Marriages we,s Contracted and tho
Men Who Tied the Knets.
The advantage OF q marriage at Gretna
Green, In Dumfpiesshire, near the border
Of England, was that no previous notice
was required nor was any residence In the
locality necessary. According 10 the law
Of Scotland, O man and woman taking
each other for husband and wife before
witnesses constituted legal and binding
marriage, but whskhGr such q marriage
would have been held legal In England
had case OF disputed possession come be-
fore the courts was, believe, never set
tied. Suoh marriages among English peo-
pie practically ceased after the passing of
Lord Brougham's act, in 1856, which
made a marriage illegal unless one of the
parties had resided in Scotland for 81
days.
The persons who celebrated these mar
riages were self constituted ministers of
no standing, either social or legal. They
had DO monopoly of the business, and
there were often several priests residing at
or near Gretna Green and marrying the
various people who came to their houses.
A great deal has been wristen about the
marriages, but very little about the priests,
and the object Of these notes is to put to-
gether and supply some information on
this branch of the subject.
The first person Of whom record re-
mains was called SCOTT. He resided at the
Rigg, a few miles from the village Of
Gretna, where he commenced uniting
couples about 1850 or 17oO.
George Gordon, another priest, had boon
soldier. He always officiated In O full
military uniform and claimed TO have O
special license from the government as his
authority for acting as minister.
Joseph Paisley acquired q good business.
He obtained the name Of the Old Black
smith, probably on account of the mytho-
logical conoeit of Vulcan being employed
in riveting the hymeneal chains. Paisley
was at first srnuggler, farmer and a
fisherman, then u tobaooonist, but never
at any timea blacksmith. His first resi-
denoe was at Megg's Hill, on the common,
or green, between Gretnn and Springfield,
to the last Of which villages he removed In
1888. He commenced his public career
about 1868, and at first gave certificates
signed with feigned name. Latterly he
took to wearing canonicals and attached
his real signature TO the marriage certifi-
Gates. He was great drinker, and at his
decease, in January, 1871. aged 81, weigh

On the way there the stage was held ND
by lone highwayman, who not only rob-
bed the mail and express box but searched

about $4,000 in the express box, and Fitch
lost 800, besides gold watch and chain.
While still at Phenix the robber was
captured, and, hearing that Fitch was in
