The Dog Law.
Mr.. C. F. Wall requests US to publish
the following dog law of this State:

The owner or keeper of a dog that has
been worrying, wounding. chasing or
killing any sheep or lambs, not his own,
and outside of his Enclosure, shall within
forty-eight hours after served with notice
thereof, in writing, from reliable and
rusty source, cause such dog to be killed.
For every neglect SO to do. he shall for
felt the sum of 50 and the further sum of
$3.50 for every twenty-four hours there
after, until such dog is killed, unless it
shall satisfactorily appear to the court of
justice before which proceedings shall
be brought for the recovery of said penal
ty, that it was not within the power of
such owner or keeper to kill such dog.
Nor shall any recovery be had unless it
shall satisfactorily appear that such dog
has done the mischief, and that such
owner or keeper has notice as aforesaid.
The fine goes not to the owner of the
sheep but into the hands of the sheriff to
swell the fnnd out of which the county
court pays for the loss of sheep.

Recent Method for Injecting Antitoxtr

Recent Method for Injecting Antitoxtn
directly Into the Brain.
From the st. Louis Republic: DR..
Emory Lanphear read paper on Tire
phining for Tetanus, with a Review of
Serum Treatment" before the St..
Louis Academy of Medical and Sur
glcal Sciences at the WOman's Hos
pital, on Tuesday evening. The lecture
was an extended discussion of the
spasm commonly known as lockjaw,
and OF the. recent innovation in the in
lection of the antitoXin directly into
the brain by the process of removing
from the skull small button of bone.
DR.. Lanphear enumerated scores of
cases which had come under his OBJ
servation, and which had terminated
almost always in death. The deadly
prevalence of the disease in the tropics
where one-fourth of the children die
OF it in a few days after birth, was
mentioned as an example of the terri
BILE ravages made by this dreaded form
Of bacillic poisoning. Simultaneous
application of the serum was proved
to be ineffective, except when attended
also by the cerebral injection. The
recent method of trephining the skull
in this disease was, he said, frequent
ly effective, and in the future might be
expected to work wonders in the
realms OF medicine and surgery. In
injecting the fluid of the antitoxin into
the brain, the final inroads upon the
upper part of the spinal cord were rem
dered Intellectual, and by frequent
subcutaneous injection the patient
might overcome the deadly spasm,
which was formerly regarded as alb
sOlutely incurable.

But why didn't you come on your

"Oh, Constantine broke his leg, and
but do not laugh, messieurs; poor
and old as is this charger,
he is good enough for the
campaign. l judged that we should
only be amusing ourselves here, and l
did not wish to honor the enemy by
riding too fine horse.
The officers saluted smilingly, and
the colonel, wishing to see the mar
shall. M. de Coigny, inquired The way
to his quarters. Before going thither
he left his horse with his orderly, who
was going toward the trenches. Bring
him back to me tonight" said the
count, and the man departed with the
horse.
But not more than an hour had
passed. and La Puysaye was just leav
ing the marshal's quarters, when an
attack was ordered on a strong point,
where 1900 men had been killed the
night before. The trumpets sounded.
and the army FASTENED to respond.
Being ordered to hold his regiment
in reserve, La Puysaye conducted it
behind a certain embankment, then
sought to go after his horse. But his
friends stopped him. Not now," they
said; the place is exposed; you would
be risking your life needlessly.'
La Puysaye returned to his place and
gave vent to his vexation. Miserable
orderly he cried; my horse! See
what he has done with my horse!'
"Ciel!" exclaimed a captain in as
tonishment, why are you so con-
cerned about the beast? From whom
did you get him."
La Puysaye, tired of keeping his Sc
cret, revealed it. From De Bossue.
He was alas! one Of my old friends"
The news was murmured through the
ranks, while the officers marveled au-
dibly. What an idea" they said.
Where is he, that we may observe
him again."
In that trench over there, which Is
so exposed. My orderly must have
