The belief seems to be growing
among scientists that there is after
all no such disease as hydrophobia

will no doubt be received with q great
deal of opposition. but there is so much
to be said on the subject and so many
experiments have been made. that ont

ment. An incident is reported where
man was bitten upon the side OF hit
face by a pet dog. He applied to .ht
hospital for treatment. and was found
to be extremely nervous. The dog was
carefully examined and pronounced BY
the veterinary surgeon to be in per
feet health. Some experiments by
incubation were tried on rabbits with.
out any unpleasant results. Again
and again were the rabbits inoculated
and they remained to all appearances
as well as ever. But the man became
more and more nervous and frightened
and finally died. Of what disease .ht
attendants in the hospital found 1t very
difficult to determine. although the
death certificate was issued for hydro
phobia. Some eminent medical men
declare that one OF the most important
things is to attempt to eradicate from
the public mind the idea that there IL
such q thing as hydrophobia. They
claim that It never occurs In fact, hut
that there is a nervous terror which
takes possession of the patient, who

the sick bay, on the flagship. Ill sail
ors were lying there listening to the
shots, all eager to get on deck. Sud-
denly, as if moved by a common inn
pulse, four of them sprang from their
cots. One had malaria, two had grippe
and another a high fever; but their
ailments were forgotten as they rush
ed out to their gun divisions and took
their usual stations. Despite their
entreaties to be allowed to stay, they
were ordered back to the sick bay. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that these
four splendid specimens "of the man
behind the gun" were not reported for
breach of discipline.
1t was reported on the flagship on
its return to the Havana station that
two torpedo gunboats had endeavored
to run the blockade during the day
and had been forced back into Havana
by the Wilmington and the Iowa. A
sharp lookout was kept throughout
the night lest these tiny crafts should
repeat the attempt. The torpedo boat

Shall We Drink.

The habit of drinking at meals is
unnecessary and harmful. It encour-
ages hasty eating, swallowing of food
imperfectly masticated, and interferes
with gastric digestion. If one must
drink at meals, however, a few alps of
hot water may well be substituted for
tea or coffee, or, if preferred, a decoc-
ton of roasted grains or cereal coffee
may be used instead. Il should be
taken, however, at the close of the
meal, not at the beginning or during
the meal, as this encourages hasty
mastication and prevents the secretion
ofa proper amount of saliva. One
can easily accustom fimselt to the use
of dry food if he strictly abstains from
the use of liquids during the meal, but
if sip of water or other liquid L.
taken now and then during the meal,
dry food becomes almost intolerable,
as the liquid checks the action of the
saliyary glands, thus preventing the
proper fiow of saliva, the natural mode
of moistening the food. Tea and cof-
fee are harmful, first, because they iu-
terfere- with the digestion. of both
starch and albumen. When absorbed
into the system, the thefn and caffein
of these common beverages exercise
the most injurious effect upon the
nerves. The great German chemist.
Lehmann,. showed many years ago
that caffein Is almost identical with
the poisonous extractives OF dead fesh
and it is hence clear that the use of tea
and coffee has tendency to prodnce
the uric acid diathesis, aud hence1 leads
to rheumatism and sick headache
neurasthenia or nervous prostration
neuralgia, bright's disease, gout, and
many allied affections.-The Voice.

Key West, April 3O.-A Spaniard

The Spaniard was engaged in drill

was Immediately placed under arrest.
He has been six years in this navy
and rates as a storekeepsr. He was

would have expired iu few days. He
is now in double irons in the brig of

A court of inquiry has found him
guilty and recommends that he be

a thorough examination of the man
and his suspicious actions during the
last few weeks, when recalled by his
detection, has convinced Capt. Har-
rington, commander of the Puritan,
that the man harbored an insane no.
tfou that as his country demanded it,
he was willing to make himself sac
rifice and destroy the monitor by
igniting the contents of the largest
magazine on board. s4t5
When searched the man was found
to have about his person cotton waste
saturated with turpentine. This, it is
believed. was to have been used as a

Papers in the case are in the hands
of Rear Admiral Sampson.
Great excitement is said to exist
among the men on various ships in
