PRESIDENT GRANTS SUGGEST

An official who quite generally knows what he Is talking about was dilatine the other afternoon upon the funny hope lessness for all reasonable purposes of many of the little creeks and rivers for the improvement" of which Congress was asked to appropriate money under the River and Harbor bill.
 "When Grant was President" said the official The used to alternately chuckle and illuminate against the ex- penditure of good government coin for the 'improvemnt' of measly little streams that he himself knew could never be made fit for any human pur- pose. There was Virginian who, failing to get Congress to stick in an appropriation for the dredging of a lit tie stream down in his section, finally importuned Grant in the matter
 '' Let's sec said Grant, musingly. T believe I crossed that stream in 1864, wasn't it?"
 '"The Virginian, who remembered Grants crossing of the stream pretty we'll replied affirmatively.

ANSWERED. HIS OWN LETTER.

A certain young railroad man who has charge of q department in the auditing branch of his company's business, had occasion recently to dictate a letter to the head of a corresponding department of another road. There was a point in dispute between the two railroads in- volving money and this young official had taken stubborn ground that the other official was totally at fault and advanced what seemed to him unan- swerable arguments to prove it. A short time after he had forwarded the letter he received a proposition from headquarters of the other railroad, which he accepted and within few days he became the head of the depart ment with which he had been in dis pute There was only one thing to do. He immediately dictated an answer to his own letter, refuting and repudiating it's argument. and wound up by a heat ed insinuation that the writer of it was an unmitigated donkey. Of course, the letter was addressed to himself and signed by himself, but in his enthusi- asm for the interests of his new employ CT he did not mind little thing like that.-Chcago News.

THE RARITY OF 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 hydrophobia, or rabies, as it is more correctly called. Those who have studied the subject carefully, however are certain that there is disease of dogs which is com municable 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 is bitten by dogs is any danger of it. and not one dog killed among 800 supposed mad dogs is really mad
 The word hydrophebia is misnomer, for mad dog has no fear of water and will run through a shallow pool with out the slightest hestation; 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.
 The only way of transmitting hydro phobia is by irocula ting, that is, bv the introduction of the virus into the body through a wound of the skin or the mucous membrane. The most usual way of this rare event to occur is of course, through the bite of a rabid dog, cat or other animal. But not every bite, even of a genuinely mad dog, is followed by hydrophobia If the, anl- mal's teeth, for instance, have passed a mans trouser leg or boot, tine saliva which contains the virus may be wiped away from his teeth h-Youth's COmDaniOn

CAN'T DRINK IN MODERATION.

A Chicago Bear That Has the Same Larnented Weakness as Some Men.
 Dick" the Russian brown bear in Lin
 coin Park, is in disgrace Some admir-
 CT of the Brun family pushed a bottle
 of pure rye through the bars of "Dick's s
 cage on Monday evening. The bear
 drank the liquor, and there was trouble
 the rest of the night, for he kept all the l other bears of his household awake, and | also those in the flat above.
 The matter of Dicks" fall from grace
 was the subject of grave consideration before the Lincoln Park Board yester- day. The upshot of it was a decision that the bear should be ostracsed from the society of his mates. One of the commissioners suggested the gold cure, but this was deemed impracticable. A special cage will be built for him, and he will be kept in solitary confinement and away from temptation.
 Cy De Vry, the animal keeper, says that when Dick" is sober he is good bear, but the minute he tastes liquor he loses control of himself and gives full swing to his appetite. When in his cups, Dick claws the other bears, chews the bars of his cage, and becomes generally disreputable He also tries to bite imaginary foes, who, he thinks, are surrounding him.
 Three weeks ago the bear fell to think ing about his former free and untram- meed life in gypsy camp, and resolv- ed to change the scenery of his environ ment. He sealed a tall, iron-picketed fence, and led a number of keepers, cit izens, policemen and exciting chase through the flower gardens.
 Yesterday morning, after his nightly carousal. ''Dicks' nervous system was in shocking condition. In his delirium he made break for freedom. Hardly had his long, broad feet begun to dig up chunks of the gravel pathway before lasso from the hands of Keep CT Cy De Vry went sailing over the head of Bruin, and settle around his neck. Then Park Policeman Guard and Keeper De Vry braced themselves at the other end of the rope, and the bear's second trip in the open was brought to an abrupt close.
 He reared on his launches, turned completely over, somersault fashion, and struck the ground on his side with a thud. It was a dazed and degraded bear that was dragged back to the pit. The animal had taken the same method of egress as on the first occasion, when he scaled the rocky wall and nimbly clambered over a guard of sharpened iron bars which have appalled, gener- alton of bears not of the gypsy variety.

But he marched around and out just the same, only stopping al each turn to utter curses, which were greeted with shouts by the audience and whistles from the boys.
