When Dogs Go Mad.

Speaking of mad dogs" said a man
tribe for the various ailments to which
they fall heir, "the popular belief that
dogs go mad because they cannot get a
sufficient quantity of water is not al
together correct. No doubt a lack Of
water at certain seasons Of the year
has a great deal to do with it. Dogs
need certain quantity of water, and
they must have it, else they will suffer
that kind of mental impairment called
rabies. But the most potent factor In
producing rabies, or madness in dogs,
is the lack of meat, the lack of blood
in the food they eat. The dog is car
nivorous. He must have meat. His
system calls for certain amount of
blood food, and when he falls to get
this he is denied that which is essen
tial to his being. More dogs go mad
on this account tnan for any other rea-
son. They are not given the right kind
of food l recall one instance of a
dog in n mountainous region in Ar
kansas that went mad. He had simply
starved on account of a lack of blood.
Before he became violent, and utterly
crazy, he had attacked a calf and
had fearfully lacerated one of the
calf's legs. He was wild for the taste
of blood We find in this an explana-
ton of that ferocity the dog shows il.
the earlier stages of his madness in
attacking animals of various kinds.
lie is blood-mad. If dog owners would
see to it that the dogs get more blood,
more of the kind of food the dog M
ture demands, there would be fewer
cases of dogs with the rabies. New

The first perfumes were obtained by
the combustion of aromatic woods and
gums, and their original use was in.
sacrifices, to counteract the offensive
odors of the burning flesh. Hence the
Latin-per and fumare, through
smoke" Every man to his own per-
fume-and the dogs and horses recog-
nize in every man that individuality
of effluvium without which neither
could track its master. The highly
educated pointer on the farm, the all
around hunter, takes his orders to find
quail to-day, rabbits tomorrow, tur-
keys the next day, and so on, and when
after one kind of game never allows
another to Interfere with his duty. 1t
is all very wonderful.-New York

Love and Bamboo in Java.

The young shoots Of the bamboo are
covered with a number of very fine
hairs that are seen, under the micro
scope, to be hollow and spiked like
bayonets. These hairs are commonly
called bamboo poison by the white
men resident in Java, for the reason
that murder is frequently committed
through their agency. When a Javan-
ese woman takes fancy to a Euro.
peap she will either have him or poison
him if she gets the chance. She seeks
any and every opportunity OF mixing
these infinitesimal hairs among his
food, and they serve the purpose OF
irritating the whole length of the all
mentary canal and setting up malignant
dysentery. 1t may take long time
and many doses of this so-called poison
to effect the purpose. but the native
woman does not tire, and death will
surely result The male native will
also try this method of revenge for an
affront.-Japan Mail.
