The only way of transmitting hydro. phobia is by inoculation; that is. by the introduction of the virus into tbs body through a wound of the skin or the mucous membrane. The most usual way for this rare event to occur is, of course, through the bite of a rabid dog, cat or other animal. h Russia and some parts of Europe peas. ants sometimes contract rabies from bites Of mad wolves, and this is said to be the most rapidly fatal form of the disease.

 k plea of 3dlvoree recently entered in Illinois court by Mrs. Samuel c. eley, wife of the famous embezzler, nose magnificent coup once put his me on eyeryone's lips, brings to Int a most peculiar romance. Seeley Gs. in 1894, the head of the Watson pe and Leather Bank of New York y In connection with his partner. edefiek Barker, and his brother-in- v, Samuel L. Aymar, he robbed the ak of over $350,000. He was caught, ad, convicted and sentenced to ten ITS in Sing Sing. Barker shielded Aymar escaped. One of the heav- t# losers by the failure of the Ma aai Shoe and Leather Bank was a tain Brooklyn millionaire. He had n one of the first to suspect Seeley,
 it was mainly through his in- nee that the trial ended as it did. 5. Seeley bore a prominent part in case and gained the admiration and peet of all by the faithful manner which she clung to her husband. BrooIlyn millionaire. who had sd# several decades a bachelor, was uck with admiration for Mrs. ley. He frightened her load as much might be after her husband went to g Sing and aided her, 1t is said, to a It in life. This was five years ago. ne time ago property in Brooklyn, ich formerly had belonged to Mrs. ley and had stood in her name, but been transferred, was deeded back Ter on the statement that friend the family" was ready to pay the $ and clear off the other indebted The transfer was made, and the | day the taxes were paid. The ley, it is said, was advanced by the rIy Brooklyn admirer of Mrs. Geg. Mrs. Seeley went to Illinois ear ago and acquired legal resi- ce there for the purpose of bring the suit. The ground of her action
 that her husband had been con- ed of a felony. Under the Illinois

Another popular error concerning rabies is that it is a disease peculiar to "dog-days." Vital statistics almost everywhere show that as many cases of the disease in the human being occur during the winter and spring as in summer and autumn.

HYDRoPHoBIA.

It has been asserted by many friends of animals who rightly object to the annual torture and slaughter of dogs. and even by some physicians, that there is no such disease as hydro phobia, or rabies. as it is more cor rectiy called
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-10-17

But not every bite, even of a gen. timely mad dog, is followed by hydro phobia. If the animals teeth, for in- stance, have passed through a man s trouser leg or boot, the saliva, which contains the virus, may be wiped from the teeth. In the same way a mad dog that bites flock of sheep usually in- fleets but one or two, the wool for the most part removing the poisonous saliva before the jaws close on the flesh.

Those who have studied the subject carefully, however, are certain that there is a disease of dogs, which is communicable by one suffering from it to other animals and to man. But this disease is very rare, and probably not one person in a thousand bitten by dogs is in any danger of it, and not one leg killed among five hundred sup rose4 mad dogs is really mad

lie word hydrophobia is misnom- q for a mad dog has no fear of water. and will run through a shallow pool without the slightest hesitation; the fear is that of drinking water or of swallowing anything, either fluid or solid, as the attempt is almost certain to throw the sufferer, man or beast, into spasms.

AT HYMEN'S ALTER.

Wedding rings are supposed to be always the same, but still the fashion of them has altered lately among smart people. The newest brides are wearing plain gold circlets which are about tWo-thirds narrower than those formerly worn. Jewellers are also showing a new ring. When worn it is exactly like any conventional wedding ring. h reality it consists of two separate gold bands, each made in spiral. These fit so closely together as to form a perfect ring without visi- ble joint This marriage ring is sym bolieal of the joining of two into one
 Seventeen years ago q bequest was made to the city of London by benev- olent Italian gentleman of s4,000 to form fund to give a marriage portion oS $6C each to three poor girls every year. Unfortunately, the sum was quite inadequate, and up till now the wishes of the testator have not been carried out. However, the trustees have allowed the money to accumulate and in two years time the capital will be sufficient for three girls to be en. riched according to the desire of the Italian benefactor.
 The much-prized wedding raiment 0! certain American brides has been treated to various discouragements. One bride lost hers in a fire at New port and another had hers ruined by leakage in the hold of Q ship en route to Europe. Hence new fashion has arisen of having special box for pre- serving relic of the wedding cake covered with a piece of the same stuff as the wedding garment. It may be square, round, or heart-shaped. with an initial or crest on the outside. Some times, besides the bridal cake cut on the table, there is a smaller one to be retained as a souvenir, bearing the names of the bride and bridegroom in silver frosting, with those of the bridesmaids and best man and the ushers. On the round box, in the cen- ter of the lid, Water-colored portrait of the bride is introduced, and these boxes fasten with a silver clasp. formed of the united initials of the happy pair.
 There is also a new fashion in the boxes employed for sending wedding cake to friends-some are white, some ivory and some are pearl and white, bearing either silver or pearl mono gram or pretty little cupids or hearts on the covers. Occasionally the hand writing of the bride is represented by her Christian name written across the top. Sometimes every box is hand painted and these are intended to be kept as memento of the event.

FIGHTING FIRE IN ELEVATORS.
Remarkable and EffIcIsnl Plant Of a Big Chicago
Grain Compary.

The most complete system for fight
ing fires in grain elevators is found in
the private department at Charles
Counselman & Co.'s South Chicago
elevators. II is the only plant OF it's
kind in the world. and Is capable OF
throwing 5000 gallons of water per min
ute.
A system of eight-inch underground
pipes IL laid about the two huge ele-
vator buildings. with outlets through
six Niagara hydrants IA feet high.
These hydrants are distributed about
the two buildings and carry nozzles
that measure from three TO four and
one-half inches. and which work ON
swivels. so as To allow the streams to
be thrown In any direction.
The pipe system is connected directly
10 two huge duplex steam pumps. one
of which has a capacity of 20o0 gallons
and the other OF 1000 gallons a minute.
The intakes OF these pumps are ten and
fifteen inches, the discharge main
measuring twelve inches.
There is an auxiliary system of pipes
running through the elevators and con-
nected with the=fHHiH =syrsteHf,- HfEo n
system OF sprinklers. The former is
capable of feeding four sets OF hose on
each OF the five floors. Ninety pounds
of steam pressure is carried by the
pump engines all the time. The open
ing of "a single valve i'm the sprinkler
system causes the engines To start In
less than half minute. Simultane-
ously an alarm OF fire is sounded and
the employees 80 in number who com
pose the fire department there. hasten
TO their respective posts, to which they
have been previously assigned and
drilled.
In 40 or less seconds after an alarm
the entire department is able TO con-
centrate enough water I'm one place TO
eXtinguish any fire. Two men are re-
quired To operate one OF the big noZ-
zles on the Niagara hydrants. The
streams thrown from four of them
four and one-half inches are the larg-
est in the world. The height OF the ele-
Vators is l65 feet. With $50 pounds
pressure the pumps will throw these
large streams 200 feet high: with 200
pounds pressure. 800 feet The hydrants
are so placed as TO reach any part OF
the buildings. The water supply Is
pumped from the elevator slip of the
south branch OF the Chicago river not
twenty feet from the pumps.
The fame OF this department has
Travelled 20 foreign lands, and hardly a

Length Of Terms Of Office as Compared With
Occupants Of American Office

1t may be said that the very ease
with which the president can be elect
ed lends an element OF instability to
the Office. 1t is certainly possible by
pursuing persistent course OF nag
ging, pin-pricking. virulent attacks and
otiicial on private persecution 10 coerce
president into resignation. Personal
persecution has already in the case OF
at least two presidents led 10 this re-
suit, and President Loubet was greeted
an the railroad station on his arrival
from Versailles with the cry: "Demis-
sion! DemissiOn The ornamental ma
ture OF the duties of the president and
ms little real power render him an easy
target for personal abuse and for at
tacks OF a character against which 1T
rs peculiarly hard to defend himself,
says the American Review OF Reviews.
Sir Henry Summer Maine has express
ed somewhat contemptuousiy his opin-
Ion OF the office. when he says: THE old
kings OF France reigned and governed.
The constitutional king, according TO
Nj. Thiers, reigns, but does not govern.
The president OF the United States gov
erns, but he does not reign. 1t has been
reserved for the president of the French
republic neither TO reign nor yet gov
ern.' AS long as the president does not
run counter to popular prejudice and
no scandals are brought To light In
connection with him his path Is COM
paratively easy.
f. But France always seems 10 have a
public question i'm regard TO which 1t is
difficult To avoid an expression OF opin-
Han, and petty personal }ealeusies may
be trusted sooner or later to unearth
some scandal near or remote. Thus
the office Is a difficult one TO fil, for
the very opposite reasons that little
real power is attached 90 Ii and that
the first intimation OF an attack on the
character OF the person filling IL leads
instantly To "a demand for resignation.
Since. therefore, the process OF get
one. and since neither time energy nor
expense is demanded in electing a new
one. IL may be said that there is al
ways the lurking danger that the cham
bers Will begin the policy OF persecu-
ton, force the resignation of the presi-
dent, resolve themselves into a national
assembly elect a new president, and
so continue the endless chain.
All this certainly is possible but as a
matter OF fact the average duration OF
presidency I'm France has been
about the length OF that OF the office
I'm America. VI. Loubet is the seventh
president since 1871 and Mr.. Mckinley
the eighth since 1869 IL Mr.. Cleveland's
two terms are each counted. The ofii-
cal life OF an English premier Is some
what shorter than that OF the Amerl
can pres.dent. While. therefore. the
danger coming from the ease OF elect
ing a president i'm France certainly ex-
lists i'm theory, IL is az least doubtful
whether il exists in reality.
