The women of Holland and Belgium,
who make their linen so beautifully
white, use refined boraX instead OF
washing soda in the proportion of one
large handful of borax powder to about
ten gallons of boiling water. Thus
they save in soap nearly half. It's ef-

therefore, it should be kept on every

Good tea cannot be made with hard wa

adding teaspoonful of boraX powder
TO an ordinary-sizcd kettle of water, in
which it should boil. The saving in the
quantity of tea used will be one-fifth.

EXISTENCE OF RABIES DOUBTED.
Physicians Say Fright IL at the Bottom

Physicians Say Fright Is at the Bottom
of Nearly All Alleged Casea
An interesting letter was issued the
other day by the American Antivivisec-
tion society appealing to the public not
alleged mad dogs and the terrible re-
suits of people being bitten by them.
Such accounts, it states, frighten peo
pie into nervous disorders, and yet
there is upon record great mass of
testimony from physicians asserting
the extreme rarity of hydrophobia, even
in the dog.
The letter quotes number Of prom;-
nent physicians in support of the the
ory that practically there is no such
affliction to mapkind as hydrophobia.
DIR. Hiram Corson, late president of the
Pennsylvania Medical society, who was
04 years old, wrote: ST have never seen
a real case of hydrophobia."
DIR. Vrail Green, the eminent ply
sician of Lafayette college, who is over
so years old, writes: 81 have never had
a case of hydrophobia, nor have ever
seen n case"
DIR. Matthew Woods, who has been IN
quest of the disease for 90 years, as
serts that he never saw hydrophobin
in either man or animal, although six
years ago he offered 500 reward to any
person bringing him such a patient.
He says further that he has never met
n physician who had seen q case of the
disease. Such distinguished physicians
as DIR. Theophilus Parvin, Thomas G..
Morton and Joseph w. Hearn say that
fright is responsible for nearly all al
