DIAGNOSING HYDRopHoBIA.
Recently Made Upon Suspected
Dogs.

There are few maladies that pus
phobia in it's early stages. There can
Se no doubt that there is such dis
ease, and that it is communicated to
human beings by the bite of a mad
dog. There is some difficulty, how
ever, in determining. in the case of an
attack upon person. whether the dog
is really victim Of this disorder or
not. Very often the animal escapes
capture. Those who witness its be-
havior are apt to be excited and to eX-
aggerate their descriptions. A dog
will not infrequently be irritable and
snappish when something is wrong
with it's digestion or from other
causes, but without being affected
with true rabies. When a doctor Is
called in, therefore, he is usually I'M
able to judge whether or not there is
any danger from the bite, says the
New York Tribune.
For this reason it is in the highest
degree desirable that a dog which goes
about biting people should be cap
tured promptly. If it has been shot
without any preliminary inquiry by an
expert the body should be saved for
examination. If the animal is still
alive, it may be decided to kill il
eventually, because the only evidence
of real value can be obtained only
after death.
Rabies, like lockjaw, is a nervous
malady. 1t attacks the spine, brain
and nervous system. AS yet the bac-
teriologists have not been able to de-
tect any microbe which is characteris-
tic of the disease. and hence there is
no use in looking for one in the saliva,
blood or tissues. When a case is so far
advanced that the canine victim dies
from it certain portion of the brain
the medulla oblongata-is found to
be congested, and very often some OF
the nerves are partially broken down.
Even vet the matter is under investiga-
ton, and the authorities are not alto
gether agreed as to the signs. But
when the disease has not made enough
Roadway to kill the dog these changes
in the nervous tissue are presumably
less conspicuous, and not easy to dis
cover
An interesting series of experiments
with suspected dogs is now being re-
ported by European medical period
icals. Won Babes, of Bucharest, was
able to secure 4S7 of these animals.
Portions of the medulla oblongata
were injected into rabbits, and 40 OF
the latter died in consequence in be-
tween one and five weeks. Microscopic
examinations of the brain tissue, how
ever, while conclusive in about four
ffths of the cases, did not supply ade-
quate evidence in all of them. Still
that test has the merit of yielding re-
suits Immediately. if it yields them at
all, whereas the incubation method
involves a delay of two or three
weeks. The gain in time is exceeding
ly valuable, of course, since the infor-

THE USE OF CONDIMENTS.
Are Necessary to Moderate Extent
in Some Foods, But Should BE
Used with Care.

Authorities on food and health admit
that dishes which taste good" are
more perfectly digested and assim-
Hated than food which gives little or
no pleasure in eating; and to go
step further; much food requires more
or less seasoning and favoring to make
it palatable. This must not be con-
strued so as to sanction the daily in
diligence in hotly spiced soups, meat
dressings and cakes, hot sauces, pickles,
sausages, etc, nor the giving to chill
dren of any other condiment or season
ing than salt, says American Queen.
Most children and many adults, gem
orally persons of the serene, phleg-
matte temperament, are satisfied with
natural f1avors, and seldom crave any
addition to sufficiently sailed food. Yet
pepper, mustard, mint, thyme, sage
and the other savory herbs, gingers,
cinnamon, nutmeg and their sister
spices and all the flavoring extract
family have their uses, and alas,
their abuses. Many a little child
is allowed to blacken its mash
ed potato with pepper and to con-
sumo huge picked cucumbers; as it
grows older sausages and stuffed meats
are naturally craved and the end of it
all is before that child reaches matur-
ity Indigestion or chronic dyspepsia is
established. To be sure. there is
now and then an iron constitution and
an excellent digestion that can With
stand great abuse and neglect, but it
is the exceptional man who possesses
these gifts; we have never yet seen the
female who could indulge freely in
condiments without paying the inev-
table penalty.
The effect of the condiments is to
stimulate the flow of saliva and gastric
juice, and the time to use them is
when partaking of some article of
food that is particularly hard to di-
gest. For instance. baked beans are
very hearty, and to many people quite
indigestible: a sprinkling of tomato
catsup or bit of mustard pickle will
generally help the stomach to take
care of them. If one must eat corned
beef and cabbage and ham, some
mixed mustard is a welcome and salu-
tary addition.
Vinegar and lemon juice used occa-
sionally and moderately increase the
solvent property of the gastric
juice. and are particularly agreeable
on oily fish or on some dish following
or accompanying rich soup or gravy.
In favor of spices very little can be
said. Ginger is the least injurious and
is sometimes used incidentally. 1t
seems as though an appetite must be
in an advanced state of depravity to
crave spiced food continually.
The fiavoring extracts are all good
in small quantities, though the juice
of fresh fruit is UNNECESSARILY prefer
able. Flavor should not be added to
food while hot, as heat weakens the
extract.

PRACTICAL RAPID TRANSIT.

1t is not the lightly equipped short

The commercial world is more inter-

Buffalo, with four stops and several
slow-downs, in 495 minutes, regu-
lar every day running time, stands
at the head of all fast trains. This
train is not made up for the purpose
of making a spectacular FUN, but
carries a regular equipment of one
baggage and smoking-car, one first
class passenger coach, one tirst-class
passenger coach with kitchen, and
one Pullman parlor car. All of these
are large coaches, and are almost in
variably filled with passengers, maxi
ing a very heavy train. Taking all
of these facts into consideration,
there is no comparison to be made
between this train, ana the display
trains which make a single run for
a few miles, upon phenomenal time.

HEGROWS BOOTJACKS
Maine Man Adds New Item to
States Agricultural Products.
Abandoned Farm Turned Into MUIR
sery for the Purpose Makes Good
Rcturn-HOw the Thing
Was Done.

Five years ago, when Asa Penney re-
turned from Boston to the old farm he
found the place badly run out and the
fields grown up to a thick crop of gray
birches, which were too small for fire
wool and wholly untitled for anything
else.
As soon as he had cleared garden
spot and made few repairs on the old
buildings he began to look about to
find use for the birches. The trees
were from ten to twenty feet high
and none of them was more than -four
inches in diameter at the butt, says an
East Eddington report in the New
York Sun.
There was not man in town who
would take the job to cut off the trees
for the wood they would yield, so Pen
ney made up his mind to convert his
abandoned farm into a nursery for
growing bootjacks.
-Four years ago last spring when the
leaves were sprouting he went to the
fields and selecting the most thrifty
birches, cut off the tops at point
where two limbs branched out from
either side, and having made pollards
of all the trees that produced good
forks, he thinned out the under
growth, giving his bootjacks better
chance to grow.
The removal of the tops threw all
the sap in the trees into the two limbs
which grew rapidly, forming double
top, one branch shooting aloft by the
side of the other and both forming the
groundwork of the bootjack that was
| to be.
Aided by sunlight and rain the plan
tation made such Roadway that this
| winter Penney has been able to cut the
larger trees and mold them for mar
ket. TO do this he cut the tops OIL
about two feet below the point where
the limbs separated and then severing
| the limbs few inches from the fork,
took the pronged sticks home and
whitfield them into shape by the even
ing fire.
When the bark was taken off from a
stick and the ends were squared and
trimmed, a small piece of hardwood
was nailed crosswise just below the
fork, so as to give the mechanism a
proper tilt, and as soon as the finished
product had been coated with raw oil
to prevent the wood from checking
Penny had new bootjack ready fol-
market.
Penney hauled his bootjacks to the
nearest railroad station by sled and
shipped two car loads to Chicago. The
first car load yielded him an average
price of % cents for every bootiack in
the lot. For the second shipment the
receipts were two cents less, fact
which was due to overcrowding the
market.
The next load will be sent to Mime
apolis, where there is said to be a
brisk demand for bootjacks. AS Pen
ney's bootjacks are made from the
natural forks of trees, instead of being
sawed from board by jig saw, they
will not only endure a heavier strain
but will get firmer grip on the heels
of boots that need pulling,
This raising of natural bootjacks is
new industry for Maine, and prom
ises to yield large profit to those who
engage in the business. Mr.. Penney
says his runout farm will yield about
1000 bootjacks to the acre, and when
they are gone the limbs and trunks
which he has ent down will make eX-
cellent fireWood,
