The pog at ".nauauration."

The brilliant part taken in the in
augural procession in Washington by
a common yellow street cur should
not go u~nrecorded. He was a mon
greI dog with an absrrdly crooked tail,
young enough to be happy in his thor
oughly silly way. Somewhere, Just
before a certain detachment of troops
marched past President Roosevelt, the
dog got into the street and trotted
ahead as leader. In this capacity his
behavior was perfect. Now and again
he glanced back to see that all was
we'll behind, keeping the centre of the
road until well past the reviewing
stand. Then his mood changed. Hav-
ing enjoyed the eliminating feature
of the parade, the idea of a longer
march did not appeal to him. The dog
broke ranks exactly is the end of the
presidential stand was reached, and
turned aside to think about something
else. Occasionally a yellow dog de-

Prevents Hydrophobia.

Pasteur's method for the proven
ton of h~ydrophobia in people bitten
by mad dogs is employed at the in
stitute for infectious disease at Der
lin. The "Cultus" ministry mas just
published a statement with reference
to the cases CT persons bitten by mad
dogs which have come to the knowl
edge of the authorities during 1908
and which permits a judgment on the
merits of such vaccination based upon
authentic facts. ,
Vaccination has not proved an alb
solutely certain remedy, even when
applied right after the bite. The sta
,istics show, however, that of 281 per
sons v%accinated only four died; thai
is, ~ per cent; while of those not
yaccinated but treated medically six
per CEN died, and of those neither
vaccinated nor treated II per cent
died.
"In view of these figures" the state.
ment proceeds, ut is earnestly to be
recommended that all persons having
the misfortune to be bitten by dogs
either mad or suspected of madness
At once submit to vaccination. The
value of such vaccination is being
more and more recognized. During
The last six years the percentage o.
perscals bitten who submitted to vac
cination were 20, 80, 50, IS, 80 and 81
respectively, and it is to be hoped
that in the future every bitten person
will avail themselves of it."-Scien

COFFEE HEART.
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long time
before they can get their W consent
to give UP the indulgence from which
their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience. as follows:
II became satisfied some months ago
that ! owed the palpitation of the
heart. from which I suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee q had been a
coffee drinker for 80 years., but found
it very hard to give up the beverage
81 realized that must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee, but I felt
the necessity for a hot table drink, and
as tea is not to my liking, I was at a
loss for awhile, what to do.
zone day I raj across a very sensible
and straightforward presentation of
the claims of Postum Food Coffee. and
was so impressed thereby that I con-
Guided to give it a trial. My experience
with it was unsatisfactory till learned
low it ought to be prepared-by thor
ougb boiling for not less than IS or 20
IDinutes. After 7 learned that lesson
there was no trouble. Postum Food
Coffee proved to be a most palatable
and satisfactory hot beverage, and
have used it ever since.
"The effect on my health has beer
most salutary. 1t has completely cured
the heart p%alpitation from which l used
to suffer SO much, particularly after
breakfast, and I neve have a return OF
it except when I dine or lunch away
from home and am compelled to drink

OLD SPANISH GRANTS UPHELD.
Remarkable Decision of Judge Holt in

the Havana SIaughter-House Case.
The full opinion of Judge Holt has
just been published in the celebrated
case entitled Dona Maria Francisco
OReilly de Camara, Countess of
Buena Vista, plaintiff, VS.. John r.
Brooke, Major-General U. S. A, de-
PENDANT. This is a suit brought in
the United States district court to re-
cover damages for the abolition of the
monopoly of Strengthening cattle in
Havana.
In 1928 an ancestor of the plaintiff
purchased from the Spanish Grown
the hereditary office of Alguacil Mayor,
or High Sheriff, of the city Of Havana,
which, among other perquisites, in
cluded a monopoly of the right to
slaughter cattle for use in Havana.
1hls monopoly of Havana slaughter
house privileges was held in the plain
tiff's family until it was abolished by
Major-General Brooke, the Military
Governor of Cuba during the occupa-
ton by the United States.
The plaintiff brought suit for the
value Of this monopoly, demanding
damages to the amount of $500 O0.
In his opinion sustaining the plain
tiff Judge Holt says: 1T was d grant
from the Crown of Spain, from which
a valuable income was derived, and
it was just as genuine property as if
it had been a grant of land from
which rents were derived. 1t was I'M
doubtedly a kind of property which
does not exist in this country. 1t was
a pure monopoly. Every student OF
English history is familiar with the
great controversies about monopolies
between the Crown and the English
nation in the reigns Of Elizabeth and
James l., resulting in the decisions
of the courts that they were void at
common law and the Statute of Mo-
nopolies declaring them illegal by act
of Parliament. They have since been
held in England and this country to
be void It common law, and are now
prohibited in this country by the four
tSSlltI tiHClluIISilt W IuS Ooh'|I'"
ton"
But, Notwithstanding the fact that
such a monopoly is prohibited in the
United States, Judge Holt holds that
the plaintiffs rights are not governed
by the United States law, but by the
Spanish law, which, SO far as it al
fects this case, was assumed by the
United States in its treaty with Spain.
The question is not whether the plain
tiff's monopoly was property under
the laws Of the United States, but
was it property under the laws OF
Spain?" Judge Holt holds that it was,
and that the Spanish Civil Code fully
protected the plaintiffs rights, and
that before the plaintiff can be de-
prived Of her right to this monopoly
it's value must be determined and
paid for.
While the action is against Major
General John r. Brooke, Congress VIII

are recoverable against him, and the
action in reality is against the United
States in it's effect in determining
