The story of n Foxnound.
(From the Baltimore sun. }


The story of a fox hunt in Kentucky
published in your Fridays edition calls to
my memory similar performance that
was accomplished years ago in this State,
and think the more remarkable as it oc
Cured in the summer time. On the morn
ing of July 3, 1853. as the hands on my
fathers property. at the head of Bush
River. in Hartford county. were about to
commence work for the day cutting wheat,
a single hound was seen and heard cross
ing the farm in full cry after fox. He
was seen and heard repeatedly during the
day, as he crossed and recrCssed the p ace.
At supper time and at bed time, and when
we arose on the morning of the 18th. he
was heard coming again. By this time
his movements and cry had begun to ex-
cite surprise and cur interest, but the pc
euliar yelp which is such sweet music to
all hunters, was perceptibly lessened, and
his run across the fields very slow. He
no longer attempted to climb fences, but
found holes to crawl through. He was
heard feebly during that morning. still
evidently after fox. and at noon, as the
men were on their way to dinner, he was
met crossing their path from a strip Of
wood with q slow. staggering gait and a
pitiful whine which so appealed TO one Of
our colored servants that he gathered him
up in his arms carried him to the barn.
and cared for him until he was fully re-
covered.
He was constantly on the run from
shortly after 8 o'clock on the morning OF
the Sd until after II o'clock noon on the
4th of July-a period OF thirty hours-to
our certain knowledge. You will under
stand he was a strange dog TO all that
part of the county. and had no doubt been
running some hours before coming to our
section. His owner or breeding place was
never known, which would not have been
the case had he been a lower Hartford dog.
for he became notorious in all the tide
water section. His repeated performances
were marvellous. He could always pick
up a lost scent. by which means he inva-
riably became the leader OF the pack.
have known him to run the top rail OF a
worm-fence across a thirty-acre field,
showing that the fox had gone that way.
Taking into consideration the season and
the fact that he was totally unknown in
the county, having no assistance nor en-
couragement whatever in the way of a
pacemaker or company, makes his run as
long and endurance as wonderful as the
| Kentucky dog. a pair of his descendants
took second prize at the first bench show
held in the city. of which, Major I. \.
Symington was one of the Judges OF the
foxhound class.

Trolley Freight Lines.
From the Street Railway Review.

(Irom the street Rl.lWdy ReVlew-)
One of the most important matters which
affect interurban roads, and some of them
to very serious extent is that of carry
ing freight. The question is already live
issue in some States and will have to be
met and decided in all States within the
next five years.
The steam roads, naturally, are on the
defensive. as they look ahead a little way
and see hundreds of trolley interurbans
competing for the business they now mo-
nopolize. While they cannot altogether be
blamed for assuming the antagonistic at
titude they now occupy, We believe and
have repeatedly expressed our belief that
they are making a mistake. Transporta-
tion begets freight and creates business,
and while in some cases the interurban
will seek to divide the existing business
between the two given points, at other
places IL will give more than 1t takes. The
steam roads must soon awake to the fact
that they cannot long bar the progress of
country electrics, either by injunction
where they seek to cross the steam tracks,
or in the courts on the question OF right
to carry freight as well as passengers.
There is no good reason why an electric
road occupying streets and highways
should any more be debarred from hauling
freight over its rails than a company or
ganized to do a general teaming business.
which hauls the same identical merchau-
disc over the same route in wagons whose
wheels rest directly on the pavement or
ground.
The movement of cars drawn by steam
locomotives over streets is obviously an
entirely different proposition, for to oper-
ate with any degree of economy the latter
must handle many cars in 4 single train.
The electric system permits OF economical
operation with very few cars in train
or even only oTe or two. These electric
trains being short do not obstruct cross
streets in passing and can be brought to
a standstill promptly. The chief objection
to the occupation of a street or highway
by 4 steam railroad has always been TIE
| danger to animal5drawn vehicles on ac-
count OF the noise and escaping smoke ard
steam. The determination of the steam
| dummy for street car work is striking
| proof of this In many cities operating
| street railway companies are allowed tC
use any practical motive power except
such as is propelled directly by steam.
| The movement of farm products and 9th
er merchandise upon Our interurban road:
| will very soon be as great convenience
| and necessity to the district served as L
| the transportation of passengers.

LocISjaw and Precipitation.
From the London Globe.)

Lockjaw, when caused by a wound. has
long been considered incurable, and il is
only of late years that a few instances
of successful treatment have been recorded.
the most striking being those effected by
the Indian wooral poison and by enor-
nous doses of alcohol. Two cases are re
ported in which all the alarming symptoms
were removed b. violent perspiration. The
first was that of a young man OF twenty
two. who had the misfortune of having
his hand caught in the gearing OF thresh-
ing machine; part of the skin was carried
off but in the course of fortnight every
thing seemed progressing toward a speedy
cure when one morning the patient awoke
with a strange rigidity in his jaws, vio-
lent pain all over the sternum. intermit-
tent difficulty of breathing, and convulsive
starts in the lower limbs. A doctor be-
ing called in, he Immediately proceeded to
throw the patient into a violent perspira-
tion. For this purpose he had hoops put
under the bedclothes in order to prevent
their contact with the body. AID then got
four deep pots filled with quicklime, which
he slightly moistened with water.
To prevent the skin from being scorched
each pot was wrapped in linen and then
placed on each side of the patient orders
being given to the family to moisten the
quicklime from time to time and to change
it when exhausted. The heat engendered
was so intense that on the first day the
bedclothes caught fire, which. however,
was speedily extinguished. As for the
perspiration It was so immOderate as to
pass all belief. On the fifth day all tetanic
symptoms had disappeared, except a little
stiffness in the jaws; the patient was in a
| state OF complete prostration, which was,
however, removed by good nourishment,
| and few days after all traces of the dan
gerous affection had disappeared.
The second case was that of day la
| borer, who, when the doctor came, ap-
peared in a dying state. He at first de-
MED having had any wound, but upon ex-
| animation an injury caused by a hobnail
was discovered on one of his great toes
| a circumstance the patient had forgotten
| The treatment was the same and attended
with the same result.

Atiotments of Space.
The exhibit which will occupy space in
the Palace of Agriculture will be grouped
in four divisions: animal products, vege-
table food products. vegetable products
not foods. and the Illustrations of the
science and practice of agriculture. The
second important space is in the Asricu;-
tural Pavilion which the United States
Commission viii erect
In this building viii be installed the ex-
bibits of agricultural implements and toSls,
save that a suitable space will be set aside
for the ccrn kitchen. where maize foods
in infinite variety will be cooked to be
sampled by the Exposition visitors. The
plans relating 10 this feature of the exhibit
arc not fully matured, although Secretary
Wilson intends this TO be one Of the most
practical demonstrations OF American prod
uCts. He desires to teach the people OF
other nations above all things 10 eat
American corn and hopes that one of the
direct benefits to the farmer will follow
from exploiting such a unique scheme. An
immense corps of efficient cooks will be en-
hand to prepare the corn in every possible
form. The dishes viii include corn cakes,
corn pudding. corn bread. canned corn. des-
sicated corn, and pop corn, breakfast foods
of all kind made from corn, hominy grits,
corn meal, and a dozen other forms, and
even the cooking of the green corn on the
ear may be attempted as a novelty.
The display of American agricultural i'm
plements will be superb. Already nearly
every important manufacturer has asked
for space double and treble that which Can

turers who wish to show large lines of i'm

ed areas that the question of future
supply and the means Of reproduction
and repenishmenG must be seriously
considered. Even the great forests of
the Dominion must dwindle before
continental demand. The supply is
not measureless. A late report of the
United States consul general at Mon
treal on the Canadian lumber OUTPUT
enters into detail 1t shows that On
tariO has 1902, 1l8 square miles of wood
land, Quebec 116,521, British Columbia
2S9, 554, the northwest territories SOC
952, and the remainder of Canada
enough to make total of 1,248, 79S

pine in Ontario is estimated at 10 ,4O4,.
100000 board feet, In Quebec at 15.-
734, 100000, and in other provinces at
1920, 100000. Some of the best cedar
