A few weeks ago sixteen persons were
bitten by one mad dog in Borgherout, a
suburb Of Antwerp. 1t was not known
that the dog was mad. A few days after,
however, a veterinary pronounced the
animal rabid. The wounds had already
ciCatrized. 50 that the cases were beyond
ordinary control. All were ordered to the
nearest Pasteur institute, at Lille, In
France. Now, while a woman Of fifty,
living at Antwerp, who vas bitten at
about the same time, has died in agony,
the victims of the BOrgherout case have
home. The municipalities in Belgium
make a rule Of sending such victims to
Lille at the exnense Of the city, and this
onstrates the necessity for establishing a
similar institute IN every country within
a reasonable journey from all centers. In
fairly reasonable cases the Lille treat
ment lasts twenty-One days. More than
200 cases are treated annually at the in
stitute.

Funeral.
Emperor Charles v Of Spain brought
about his death by rehearsing his own
funeral. For the last two years Of his
life, after reslgning the scepter Of
Spain and the Netherlands to his son
Philip. in 1856, Charles retired to the
monastery Of Yuste. in Estremadura,
and there lived a clolster life In close
intercourse with the monks, devoting
much time to religious exercises. Dur
ing this period. prompted, IL may be-.
by the example of Cardinal de la
Marck. who for several years before
his death. in 1923. had annually re-
hearsed his %obsequies, the emper-
or, in the SUMMER Of 1858, formed the
resolution to celebrate his own funeral
before he died. The priests assured
him-what the superstitious element
in his character readily inclined him
to believe-that the act would surely
merit and win divine favor. Accord
ingly, on Aug. 30 Of that year, the
grim farce was carried out with the
most elaborate ceremonial. The inn
perial domestics matched with black
tapers In their hands, and the emperor,
clad in sable weeds, himself followed
wearing his shroud. While the solemn
mas for the dead was being sung be-
fore the high altar in the cathedral
Charles gave up his taper to the priest.
typifying thereby his resignation of life
and was solemnly laid in his coffin.
The ceremony closed with sprinkling
holy water on his body; then, all the
attendants retiring. the doors were
shut, and Charles rose from his mar
row bed and withdrew to his private
apartment. The dampness Of the
grave cloths induced a chill, which
aided nc doubt by the mental depres-
sion caused by the grewsome oere-
mony, induced a fever, which ended
in his death three weeks later, or the
21st of September. 1888.

England Possesses Several and They DO
q Thriving business.
W~arwickshlre, England, possesses
the chief Of a class Of anomalies Of
which up-to-date America can exhibit
no par. It is nothing more nor less
than a minister of the gospel who
openly runs a public house. The Es-
tablished church is far from being tee
total in its doctrines, as teetotalism,
even among the more rigorous Of the
sects, has never been popular in Eng
land. The public house came into the
possession Of the parish OF which Rev.
Osbert Mordaunt, the gentleman In
question. was the rector, through the
will Of an eccentric old miser who,
perhaps, as much In irony as good
faith, left it to the vestry in charge for
the benefit Of the poor OF the parish.
When this was made public the reVer-
end gentleman consulted several tenn
perance reformers, who, OF course, ad-
vised him to sell Immediately. The
majority Of the vestry, however. were

add to the state penitentiary a manu-
factory for the production Of binding
Irvine. A committee was sent to Min
nesota to see how the Irvine factory
was conducted there. and 1t returned
with the most fattsring reports. The
action Of the legislature meets with
the hearty appreciation Of the Kansas
farmers, for they have been buying a
great deal OF binding twine in the last
two years. There is no twine made in
the state, so that there would be no
competition with free labor in Kansas,
whatever It might be on the outside.
The plant will turn out annually about
5000, 900 pounds Of Irvine. The an
nual consumption Of the state is esti-
mated to be %. OOO.O 900 pounds.
