istence of the disease and our advice
is to discover the actual disease and
treat that, looking for recovery and
not hastily shooting every sick dog:
James Watson, (bOrn in England) Of
New York, we'll known judge and
authority on dogs in both England
and America, says in Country Life"
"1n all my own experience with dogs
| have not only never seen mad dog
but have never known a dog owner
and by that l mean a man of expert
ence ia keeping ,dogs-who has seen
one. If, then, rabies is SO exceeding
ly scarce hydrophobia becomes really
an impossi bility, and the fear of it
should be dismissed without thought
"A person may get dog bitten, but,
in the language of a New York tough
Forget it, If it is bad bite it may
twitcn later on ard you may begin
worrying, so it is a good plan to get
rid of the twitchiDg or thrObbing in
order to forget it. l have been bitten
so often that | think no more Of il
than mosquito bite, and this is what
[ do: wash the bite thoroughly with
the object of cleaning the wound and
preventing Inflammation from an>
dirt or foreign Su b>tance. Use bicar
Donate of soda and some clean rags or
lint, make cream paste of the soda
and water and plaster the wound well
and bind with the clean cloth. If the

wet the parts again so as TO keep the

THE ClNDER IN THE EYE.
FROM THE YOUTHS COMPANION |

BY cinder we mean any minute par
ticle OF whatever nature which lodges
in the eye, where it causes much pain
and distress.
In most cases, when a foreign body
gets into the eye, it creates little
discomfort for time, but is soon
washed away by the tears without
doing any harm. Sometimes, especial
ly when the pal ticle has sharp corners
to 1t, as is often the case with the tine
cinders from a locomotive which burns
soft coal, the con juDctlva is cut and
the body becomes tirmiy lodged IN 1t,
and all Natures simple efforts to re-
move it are Intellectual. Man then tries
to come to Natures assistance, and
often makes bad very much worse.
The sufferer WinkS the eye, rubS 1T
with his finger, perhaps inserts an eye
stone, and does whatever else he can
think Of to drive the particle deeper
into the cUnjunctiva and excite intlhm-
nation. This inflammation causes
swelling of the cOpjunctiva immedi-
ately surrounding the offending parti-
Gle. with the result that the foreign
body becomes deeply imbedded, and
can be removed only by the little
needle or knife Of the OculiSt; or else
it lOOsens itself by exciting an ulcera-
tiOn of the cOrnea, and this liberation,
when healed, leaves behind it minute
white scar. Lucky is the man If this
scar speck is at one side, and not direct
ly in front of the pupil.
One who gets clnder in the eye
must first of all exercise self-cOntrOl.
He must not rub the eye. he may
take glass OF clean water, throw In
pinch Of salt, then put the head down
The Newtown bee., 1905-12-22

so that the eye is in the water, and
wink several times rapidly. If this
does no good, the particle can some
times be dislodged by taking hold of
the lashes and drawing the upper lid
down over the lower, and letting it
slide back into place.
If the speck can be seen on looking
into the mirror it may often be re;
moved by the tip of cone made by
folding handkerchief several times.
Sometimes friend can see the speck
by looking into the eye with a magni-
flying glass, and can remove it by gen.
thy touching it with the handkerchief
cone
This is all anyone should attempt,
and if these gentle efforts fail to dis
lodge the cinder, no time should be
lost in seeking the help Of a physician,
who may take it away before inf]am-
nation or liberation comes to cOmpli-
cate the accident.

the report is quickly spread, having
no QueS lion or doubt as TO the truth.
A SICK COW "haS the horn distemper."
No such disease is recognized by the
medical man. A sick horse has the
collie and until veterinary has charge
Of the animal, he is dOSed for the colo.
Personally, we do not believe in rabies
but we dU believe in blood poison and
consider it terrible disease to be
avoided in all possible ways. Any ami
NAL when sick or in a feverish condl-
Gion might poison the blood of anOtn
er by flesh wound caused by bite;
the blood becomes inuculated and fear
full consequences follow, especially ii
the victim be mankind.
1t is said, to prove the mad dog the
ory, that a man will bark like a dog
aud frOth at the mouth. These barks
or cultural sounds are caused by par
| italy paralyZed or a swollen condition
of the throat and certainly not the

UNDER THE IRISH LAND LAW.
FROM THE REVIEW OF REVIEWS

An actual case of purchase is as fol-
lows: A small farmer lived upon d
tract OF l6a acres Of land in County
Tipperary, a good agricultural section.
For some years past he had been paying
to the landlord al actual rent Of e6 Is,
or about 1888. He wished to purchase
the land, and it was offered to him by
the landlord for ESQ, or about $3.50
He made the necessary application to
the authorities, borrowed the money
from the government, and paid the
landlord for the place, gaining from
him deed in fee simple. The govern
ment retained what might be termed
a mortgage upon the place, which is
to be released at the expiration Of 40
yearly payments Of "a A., or about S2l
In 40 years from 1904 the purchaser
will have paid to the government
about $50 for bis farm. He began also
to pay taxes upon the place as soon as
1t was listed in his name. His first
years taxes amounted to 26S, or about
S6 so. This amount may be increased
or diminished according to the valua-
ton put upon the property and the
rate OF taxation adopted from year to
year.

The article by your Veterinary Edi-
tor in reply to H. Bros. enquiry, while
it answers the question in direct

encouragement as to the certainty or
uncertainty Of the bitten dog to be
afflicted, and as this disease is one

Pile of naturally a nervous tempera-
ment, for the comfort Of such persons
and especially II. Bros it might we'll
be added that rabies IS at the present
very rare, not only in this country but
in England, where at one time the
disease seemed to be epidemic. In
fact, a great number of noted physi-
clans and veterinaries have no belief
in this disease. The late DR. CresSy OF
Connecticut one of the best known
veterinaries Of the East, once told the

CHRISTMAS AND , ANITA CLAUS.

iRlSrMAS AND , ANITA CLAUS.
IT'S just before Christmas,
That time Ut the year
When Santa Claus comes
With presents SO dear.
With seven small reindeer,
And a sleigh full Of toys,
And packages so big,
For girls and for boys.
The children are eager,
They scarcely can wait,
SO they 20 to bed early
With a peep at the gate
To see II Santa has yet CO me in
- sight;
Then they're tucked into bed,
And down goes the light.
They are eager to know
What time Santa comes,
With horses and engines
And dOllies and drums.
But tired eyes close quickly,
And so very soon,
Soft breathing is heard
In this part Of the room.
There's stockings all hung,
On chair, shelf and bed;
From eight-year-Old Harold
To Baby Mildred.
But oh, 10 the morning
They wake with shout;
Their stockings are full,
Beyond the least doubt.
There's an engine for Harold,
A new dress for Allie,
And dolly for Mildred,
Which she means to call Sally.
There's a great many more things,
can't name them all;
But better than this
There's a big tree so tall
Which be left in the parlor,
Just covered with toys,
or all sorts and descriptions,
For good girls and boys.
1t seems very strange,
But it's also quite true,
That Santa Claus knows
Most all, children do.
And If they are good,
And do as they're told,
He'll visit them Christmas
Until they're quite old.
But IL they are naughty,
And Saucy and bad,
1t makes Santa very
Unhappy and sad.
And SO he sends word
To the children around:
"If you're naughty and bad
III pass by your town
And keep going on
'Till come to spot
Where children are good,
And there l will stop"
And so, children all,
Be good girls and boys,
And Santa will come,
With sleigh full OF toys.

FLYING A FLAG OF DISTRESS.

Last Friday, the children at the dis:
trict school at the Center put out the
flag and by mistake hung it with the
stars down. In time of war flag
hung that way was a signal of distress.
An old veteran saw it and thought be-
would have little joke with the
teacher, so he went to the door of the
schOOlhouse and knocked. When the
teacher appeared he asked her wha,
said, there is no trouble here" The
veteran kept solemn face and kept
the teacher guessing for quite awhile
what the joke was. He finally pointed
TO the flag and then she saw what the
matter was and mad it righted at once
