Poet and Queen.

DIR. Max Muller relates that the late
queen of Holland frequently came to
England and was fond of meeting while
there distinguished literary people. On
one occasion she lunched with Dean
Stanley and asked him to invite several
literary men, among whom were Tenny-
son, Lord Houghton, Huxley and Max
Muller himself.
Luncheon was ready, and everybody
had come to the deanery except Tenny-
son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
party should wait no longer, but the
queen refused to sit down before the
laureate's arrival. There was another
period of waiting, painful to all the
company.
Finally some one suggested that prob.
ably Tennyson was incoming about in
the cloisters somewhere. One was sent
to see, and the poet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any
thing was going on. He was brought in
and placed at the table next the queen
of the Netherlands.
The queen took the conversation into
her own hands and in particular tried
to draw Tennyson out. He was not in
talking mood. She addressed him a
question.
eyes, ma am, he answered.
Then there was another question.
"No, ma am" came from Tennyson.
Again she asked his opinion about
something. The question was not sus-
ceptible of answer by Eyes" or mo. y
"Ma'am," said Tennyson after a
great effort, "there is great deal to be
said on both sides of the question.
Presently he turned and whispered to
Max Muller, II wish they had put some
of you talking fellows next to regina. "

A Great Reporter.

OF the late Dennis +. Murphy, who was
official reporter of tho United States sem
ate, the Philadelphia Record thus speaks:
GAS a shorthand writer he was wonder,
and during the AZ years in which he was
connected with the senate it Is believed
that he reported more speeches and de-
bates and with greater degree of accu-
racy than any man who ever lived. Mr..
Murphy was hard student, and the wide
range of his information fitted him for
every branch of his business. In 1857 he
was admitted to the bar in this city and
shortly afterward to that of the supreme
court of the United States. He never
practicod law, but studied it closely, sim
ply because the knowledge of it was useful
to him as one among his immense kit OF
reporters tools. With all the little knots
and delicacies of parliamentary law he
was thoroughly familiar and his opinions
were often sought by famous senators. A
good linguist and we'll versed in English
literature, he was never puzzled by any
quotation. To him everything in law and
literature seemed to be an old acquaint-
anca ~

The Waterman who has been taking
care OF the steambarge Argonaut which
lies at the Quincy dock had a narrow es-
cape from drowning Sunday afternoon.
The man was occupied in walking around
the boat examining thecondition OF the ice
when he suddenly broke through the
ice into the lake. He fortunately caught
hold OF rope which hung down the side
OF the vessel, and even then he could not
release himself from the ice. His cries
for help attracted the attention OF the
men working on the draw OF the bridge
who went to his rescue. The man was
in the water fully ten minutes before he
was taken out and when assistance came
he was quite weak.

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

The prevalence of rabies gives a timely
interest to an article on the diagnosis OF
this disease which appears in the new
quarterly number of the British Journal
of Comparative Pathology and Therapeu-
t:os The article illustrates 1.-THE general
Ignorance of the lay public regarding the
symptoms of rabies in the dog" by refer
ence to fatal case of hydrophobia in the
human subject which recently occurred at
Croydon.
The dog, a fox terrier, suddenly, with
out the slightest provocaton, bit his mas
ter in the left hand. The animal was
taken away and chained up, but escaped
and bit a girl in the hand and then re-
turned to its own home and bit boy in
the leg AT this stage veterinary surgeon
was called in, who promptly recognized
that the dog was rabid and had it de-
stroyed. The owner, however, refused to
believed that the animal was anything
more than habitually vicious and though
he had his hand dressed by his medical at
tendant, he declined to go to Paris for the
Pasteur treatment.
Meanwhile the dogs brain was sent 70
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 expert
enced feeling which he regarded as the
premonitory symptom of an attack of in
fluenza. 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
doubt that the dog was decidedly rabid on
the day before he bit his master, who had
observed that the animal displayed an I'M
usual desire to attack other dogs when
taken out for 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-
lance to which it is entitled is not always
attached TO the fact that a dog not previ'
ously vicious has developed n 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
tho most absolute precautions against his
doing further mischief. London Letter

the surface, not only the filed chambers
and broken walls of older structures, but
sculptured monuments as well. The theory
of development, though it cannot be set
aside, seems inadequate to explain this
curious circumstance, and yet there Is just
enough difference between these art relics
and those of later date to indicate change
in style and treatment Whether or not
this change continues in regular sequence

If, as / am inclined to believe we shall
find, away down in the lower levels, the
rude beginnings from which the culture
of the later period developed, we shall
have pretty conclusive evidence not only
that Copan is the oldest of the Maya cities,
but that the Copan valley itself, with tho
immediate vicinity, was the cradle of the
Maya civilization.
