Some good people cry out that she is SO

And if Becky Sharp be the masterpiece

inimtably true. all are powerful, all are
fearful in their agony and rage. The

UNSATISFACTORY HYDRANTs
Could Not Be Depended Upon-Water
Company's Proposal

1t has been brought to the attention
of the board of public works several
times recently that the use of the fire
hydrants throughout the city as
means for filling the sprinkling carts
was causing serious wear to the hy-
drants, and that some of them were in
such condition that they could not be
deperded upon in event of large fire.
To remedy this the board has had under
consideration proposition from the
City Water company to place in service
a number of special hydrants for use of
the sprinkling carts, connecting directly
with the mains but being wholly separ-
ated from the fire hydrants.
The board gave a hearing to repre-
sertatives Of the water company yester-
day morning. The city will need 300 of
these hydrants if the proposition is ac-
cepted and the company agrees to fur
nish them and keep them in repair for
$3.50 per month each. The board does
not in the present attitude of the con-
test for the municipal ownership of the
water supply, desire to make the reces-
sary outlay to secure the improvements,
nor Goes it desire to enter into contract
for the service for long time. The
matter was taken under advisement by
the board.

Becky sharp's Place in Fiction

The great triumph of Vanity Fair
the great triumph of modern fiction
is Becky Sharp; character which will
ever stand in the very foremost rank
of English literature. If not with Fall
staff and Shylock, then with Squire
Western, Uncle Toby, Mr.. Primrose,
Jonathan Oldbuck and Sam Weller.
There is no character in the whole range
of literature which has been worked out
with more elaborate completeness. She
is drawn from girlhood to old age, under
every conceivable condition, and is
brought face to face with all kinds of
persons and trials. In all circumstances
Becky is true to herself; her ingenuity,
her wit, her selfishness, her audacity,
her cunning, her clear, COOL alert brain,
even her common sense. her spirit OF
justice, when che herself il not con-
cerned, and her good nature, when 1t
could cost her noth.ug--all thigis unfail-

ANCIENT CURE ToR RABIES
How the Niagara Indians Treated suf-
ferers From Bites of Mad Dogs

DR.. G. w. Pope says that the treat
ment Of hydrophobia among the Can
ada and Niagara InG.ans in the olden
time was as follows: AS soon as the
bitten Indian began to feel the first
symptoms of the disorder, manifested
by more or less stiffness of the muscles
of the jaws and neck, with dryness or
swelling of the throat, pit was dug in
his hut or outside six or eight feet square
by two feet deep; great number OF
large cobble-stones were thrown in and
a great fire kindled over them. When
the stones were red hot the cinders and
ashes were raked out ard large guam
tity of spruce and juniper boughs thor
oughly wet were laid over the stones to
the depth of the pit. Sometimes jim
son weed (Satura stramonium) or
water hemlock leaves were mixed with
them. The Indian was stripped, wrap
ped up in blanket and stretched him
self on the pile; great quantity OF ad-
ditional bows were laid over him, leav-
ing his head out, or sometimes a long
hollow reed was placed in his mouth so
he could breathe with head covered.
Buckets of water were thrown on the
pile, which. tricklipg down to the hot
stones, evolved vast volumes of steam
mingled with the liberated volatile es-
sence of the spruce, Juniper, etc. (the
juniper acting profusely on the kid
neys).
At the same time tea of Indian to-
bacco Gobelia Infiata) was given him
to drink in small and frequent doses,
short of vomiting. This lobelia pro-
duced great nausea and complete re-
Taxation of every muscle in the body.
There is no remedy in the whole ma
teria medica capable of safely producing
complete relaxation of the muscular sys-
tenn like this. Ii is often seen among
boys and young men in their experience
with. smoking or chewing tobacco.
Strong REQ pepper tea was also some
times given to control too great nausea.
The sweating was simply tremendous,
and when the patient was taken out of
his bath, which was continued for three
or four hours, according to the severity
of the case, he was limp as a wet rag
and scarce able to move finger or even
to wirAk. He was then wrapped in dry
blankets, laid on his cot, a little whisky
and red pepper tea given, and he would
sink into quiet sleep for twelve or even
twenty-four hours, wake up and often
express himself as feeling better than
ever before in the whole course of his
life.
This peculiar result has been wit
messed in thousands of cases of vomiting
and relaxation from lobeia given for
other diseases. Sometimes one bath
would be sufficient to cure the case;
other cases required several baths, re-
peated every Gay for several days or
two or three time week fora fortnight
or more. DR.. Willard Smith of Buffalo,
N. Y, stated that he never saw a case
fail to be cured where the baths were
applied in time.-Washingto Star.

HER HOME THE HoUsEToPs
Fox That Spends Its Life Roaming
the Roofs of Boston Houses

High UP on the roof of the Boston
tavern, 100 feet and more from the pave
ment, lives a little gray fox that has
spent nearly her whole life with the
smoke of the chimneys blowing about
her and the roar from the streets OF the
city filling her ears day and night. Taken
as a cub from her native woods of
Maine, she has grown up with the slated
roof of the tavern as her world, and
with Tom the porter, who takes care of
her, as her only companion.
Originally there were two of the cubs.
They were taken by a gentleman who
was on a fishing expedition on the Bon
ME river last June, and sent as present
to one OF the guests in the hotel, who,
not caring about keeping them, gave
them to Mr.. Clark, the proprietor of the
tavern. Mr.. Clark had a place made for
them on the roof, where there Is plenty
of room to run about. But short time
after they came one of them became
frightened, jumped the parapet and was
killed. The other, taking warning by
the fate Of her comrade was.more care
full, and has graduately became mod
erately tame. She will eat from the
hand of the porter, and when he is alone
will come to him when he is called, al
though she will not allow him to handle
her at all. The moment any stranger
appears on the roof, however, she is off to
the farthest cornex and will keep tne
whole width of the roof between her
self and them as long as they remain
in sight.
Her lot is not an unpleasant one for an
animal in captivity, for she has the whole
roof to range over and seldom Is disturb
ed. The roof has only a slight slope;
it is a smooth slated surface, surrounded
by high parapet and broken by num-
erous chimneys and by the light we'll
and skylights, which rise in the center
of it, The fox has the run of THE whole
of it and explores every part, people in
the nearby buildings being sometimes
startled by the sight of fox running
about on the roof Of a hotel in the heart
of the city. In one corner she has box
filled with earth, where she crawls when
she wants to go to sleep, scooping out
a round hole with her paws and nesting
down into it, curled UP into little ball.
Tom feeds her on chickens and lettuce
SO that she has no reason to complain OF
her fare. She is fond of mint, delighting
to roll in 1t and scratch in it with her
paws. although she does not eat it. She
has been and is the object of good deal
of interest to the guests of the hotel,
AS has been said,she does not reciprocate
any attention shown her, crouching be-
hind some chimney or skylight and
watching the visitor with bright eyes
and with ears pricked up until he goes
down again.-Boston Transcript.

BECOMES DRUNK ON NOTHING
Maine Man Who Gets Intoxicated at
the Mention of Liquor

Maine has the proud honor of having
within her precincts a man who can get
more intoxicated on less money than any
other man in the world. In fact, his
sprees cost him absolutely nothing, for
he drinks nothing, yet he can get as full
as boiled OWL" The mans name is
Cyrus Gates and he lives near Blue Hill,
adjoining an abandoned copper mine.
Years ago Gates was wealthy and spent
most of his money on various liquids
which inebriate. Then came i'll fortune,
for he lost his wealth and his eyesight
simultaneously. Then he swore off, and
for some years did not ouch a drop.
About three years ago the old banker
ing returned, and Gates decided to spend
all the money he had for one more rous-
ing spree. He went to Ellsworth for
quart of real New England rum, war;
ranted to gladden. the heart and to warm
the inner man. No sooner had the order
been given than Gates became up
rcariously drunk. He danced about, sang,
broke what little furniture he had and
had rousing good time. His pulse rose
to an abnormal pitch and his eyes be-
came watery and blear. He was full"
to the fullest degree. Finally he took
to his bed and slept off the drunk. When
he awoke he suffered from that pictur-
esque complaint known as katzenj jan-
mer," or sick headache. When the rum
he had ordered arrived he used to get
sobered again. This has been the mans
experience dozen times since then.
The case is so peculiar that medical
men from all over Maine and New Eng
land have visited the old man for the
purpose of putting his alleged inebria-
tion to test. They can talk with him
about drinking and sing bacchanalian
songs to him for hours without produc-
ing any effect, but as soon as one of his
visitors promises to buy liquor for him
and let's him take the money Gates gets
hilarious and follows up the self-created
Eilarity until he is in that condition
which is popularity known as jag.
A New York doctor who is staying in
Blue Hill and making experiments upon
Gates, says it is the most puzzling case
he has ever seen, and when he gets back
to the city he will write it up for a medi-
cal journal. Meantime old man Gates
gets drunk upon big draughts Of imag-
ination whenever his fingers assure him
that he has money enough to buy liquor
to make him sober again. Remember
ing the former attack of delirium tre-
mems, he is controlling his imagination
and will take nobody's word without the
cash.-New York Journal.

POISONING CURED BY BLEEDING
Man Rescued From What Looked Like

with his respiration but five in five
minutes we saved him."
The speaker was DR.. Albert D. Black
burn, chief Of the medical staff at the
Presbyterian hospital. The man referred
to had been brought there by the patrol
wagon several weeks ago nearly dead
from the effects of quantity of laud-
anum which he had swallowed with sui
cidal intent, but who now, thanks to the
sudden thought, or, more likely, the in

tinued the doctor. I'VE applied the
stomach pump, but the blood had alb
sorbed the poison. We tried other meth
DDS. We worked assiduously, almost
frantically. Reluctantly we were forced
to acknowledge that we could get no re-
suits, for the patient sank lower anH

denly this line Of thought struck me :
That mans respiration. is but five in
minute; he Is practically dead. The
stomach pump will do no good, for the
blood has absorbed the poison and is
pregnant with it. The only way to get
1t out of the system is to bleed him, to
deprive him of the very essence of life
in order to give him life! Then, I
thought, blood Isl largely a saline scyu-
tion; We can prepare like solution with
the proportions the same and inject this
into the body, to take the place of the
poison-filled blood. The body will do
the rest; it will assimilate the solution
and make it blood.
The chance was desperate one, but
the circumstances called for it. So we

bled the man, and the two pints which
uant with the poison was it, Quickly
we injected an equal quantity of the
saline solution; then with our anxiety
at high tension we stood around to
watch and wait results. Once we
thought we detected a slight increase of
respiration, but we dare not trust too
much. A few minutes later we were
sure Of it. Slowly the respiration began
to rise and slowly but surely the organs
began to once more resume their func-
a
lapse None came Then at last the
man was out Of danger. He stayed un-
der our care for a few days, and when
we sent him away he had totally recov-
cred from the effects of the poison
which he had put into his system. To-
day he is hale and hearty man."
1t is highly probable that this method
of overcoming poison is a novel one. No
one seems to know of any like instance.
AT least, several reputable physicians of
this city, VIXEN interviewed, said that no
case of similar nature had ever come
under their rDtice, nor were they awere
that such method had ever been ap-
piled with success before. However
that may be, the method is undoubtedly
an efficacious one and will probably be

tions accidently or with desire "to
