Eeor Cartses Deafb.

The death of John r. Beart-in Chi
,cago the other day, illustrates point
that has been dwelt upon for years by
physicians and surgeons. Mr. Beart
in August last had struggle with a
dog and was bitten in three places.
The struggle in itself was of charac-
ter to produce nervous exhaustion, to
say nothing of the mutilation by the
dog. Upon examination it was shown
that the dog was not afflicted with
rabies. Mr.. Beart recovered from the
Immediate effects of the struggle and
returned to his work But week be-
fore his death he was taken i'll and he
grew steadily worse to the end. Those
In attendance believe he died of fear of
hydrophobia. There is no dispute as
to the main facts in the case. The
dog that attacked Mr.. Beart did not
have any disease. Mr. Beart had no
symptoms of hydrophobia, but he
lived for months in horror of the most
dreaded of diseases, and this resulted
in conditions that caused his death.
If the dog that made the attack on Mr..
Beart had been killed, as is usual in
such cases, the case would undoubted-
ly have been catalogued in the hydro
phobia list AS the case stands, 1t
gives strength to the theory that a
great many of the so-called cases of
rabies are produced solely by fear.

Monument TO Gfnfer.

A number of prominent coal men or
Pennsylvania have decided to erect a
monument of coal to Philip Ginter, the
discoverer of that fuel, at Summit Hill,
near Mauch Chunk One hundred and
nine years ago Ginter lived in rough
cabin in the forests on the Mauch
Chunk Mountain. While in quest OF
game for his family, whom he had left
at home without food Of any kind, his
foot struck a black stone. BY the
roadside, not far from the town OF
Summit Hill, he built fire OF wood,
and threw pieces of the supposed stone
about it, so that the embers might last
longer while he was roasting a fowl.
He was surprised, after little while,
to see the stones glow and retain their
heat for long time. He carried a lot
of the coal home and burned 1T there.
The few neighbors soon learned OF the
discovery, but there was no mining
to any extent in Carbon county until
after the war Of 1872 had begun.

To Discuss ./unday Cars

o OfSCUSS - unddp SOTS
1t is rather remarkable that Edin-
burgh is still discussing the question
whether it shall have Sunday street
cars. This will be one of the burning
side questions of the municipal cleo
tion There has recently been intro
duced into Edinburgh splendid in
stallation of cable cars, which Is en-
tirely shut down at present on Sunday,
and many people do not see why 1t
should not be utilized on Sundays as
well as on week days, especially to en-
able the working classes to get out
into the country to breathe the fresh
air. One candidate, lawyer, has come
to grief in an amusing way over this
question. When asked if he was in
favor of running Sunday cars he an
swered in the negative, and followed
1t up by an expression Of his venera-
tion. for the quietude of the dear old
Scottish Sabbath" A newspaper re-
porter, however, found out that the
gentleman in question spent most OF
his Sundays at one of the golf links IN
the neighborhood of Edinburgh, which
covered the defender of the Sabbath
with confusion.-M. e. Gilbert in Chi
cago Record.

The Prince Of Wales, who has just
celebrated his 59th birthday, has now
held his title the longest in English
history. Previously the distinction be-
longed to George w., who was Prince
of Wales for So years. Within month
of his birth the prince was created
Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, Earl
of Carrick, Baron Renfrew, lord of the
isles, Prince of Wales and Earl of
Chester, while in 1850 he was made
Earl of Dublin. When he wishes to
travel on the quiet the Prince goes as
Lord Renfrew and sometimes as the
Earl of Chester.

Hcfrue Work for -/bip Canal.

The executive committee Of the H.
linois Valley association met in Chi
cago last week, and appointed sub
committee which will go to Washing
ton this winter and urge upon Con-
gress its project for the building Of a
fourteen-foot deep water ship canal
between Chicago and st. Louis. Among
those present at the meeting was Con-
gresham Walter Reeves, who told the
committee that in his option Con-
gress would be inclined to listen with
more favor to a proposition to build
a channel with an average depth of
eight instead Of fourteen feet. In this
opinion Mr.. Reeves had the backing
of his colleague, Congressman Graft.
The two congressman were overruled,
however, by the almost unanimous
sense of the committee, which was
strongly in favor of the deeper chan
mel.

TIE Rnmmaee <nIe.

The latest fad of society is the rum
mage sale.' 1t began in New England
and is rapidly making its way all over
the country. In certain sense the
"rummage sale" is a sort of house
cleaning on large scale. The house
keeper takes an account of stock, with
the result Of finding numerous things
which are too good to give away or
throw away and yet are hardly good
enough to keep. Such articles have
usually found their way to the second
hand stores or the cart of the peddler,
but as the owners get little or nothing
for them the New England spirit OF
thrift has devised the "rummage sale.",
which, SO long as 1t remains fad,
will insure profitable returns.

Hr;t;eh IRON and %feeI.

British Iron and -%feeI.
The severity of American competi-
ton in iron and steel has led to the
breaking of the British pool in those
Industries. In Great Britain, as in the
United States, there was an agreement
to maintain prices, that of steel rails
being held at from f7 to Ell 5s per ton.
AS soon as the manufacturers were
allowed free hand open competition
-ensued, drop in the price OF nearly
,f1 ton following In Great Britain,
as in the United States, many orders
had been held up because OF the I'M
natural prices, and these were released
when prices reached normal basis
AS result the Ironmonger declares
that the manufacturers will be real
gamers. There is hint in this incl
dent for the members of the American
pool, who must know that many or
ders are being held in anticipation OF
lower prices There is coming to be a
well defined belief that the plan of the
iron and steel men is to make success
rsive reductions and take orders at
each rate until they can get no more
at that price, when they will make a
still lower rate. This, however, but
leads to the holding of more orders
for the lower prices.

INTERESTING ITEMS.


BILE Arch, but not one In thousand Is
acquainted with its history. The gen.
eral impression is that it is memorial
of some kind. The Marble Arch, how
ever, is nothing of the kind, for 1t was
built by King George w. as an en-
trance to Buckingham palace, where 1t
did duty in that capacity for many
years.
But as the gateway to Buckingham
palace the arch was a failure. 1t had
the effect of dwarfing the royal resi-
dence, and visitors who went to view
the royal home from the exterior saw
plenty of gate" to quote an old de-
scription, "and little palace"
Accordingly it was, in 1850, removed
to its present situation in Hyde Park.
Eighty thousand pounds was the orig
inal cost Of the arch.
Unlike the majority of such edifices,
the Marble Arch Is not solid. The
man in the street" believes 1t is, for
he he's forgotten the circumstance that
in the time of the Hyde Park riots a
large force of police were hid In the
arch and were able to dispense the riot
ers at the specified moment. The Incl
dent at the time excited some attention
for the police seemed to rise from the
ground, and the most knowing OF the
rioters never anticipated that the arcf
hid so many policemen.
