Patriotism of Japanese Farmer.

Nine. Uru, in Harpers Bazaar.
There are many instances in Japan of
soldiers who have loved their country
more passionately even than their families.
Americans may think it horrible and in
credible, but We Japanese women under
stand the intense feeling of loyalty which
predOmnates above everything in our SOL
diers' hearts.
In the interior of Japan young farmer
on the outbreak of war was suddenly called
to the colors. Two days preparation was
given him to settle his affairs and to start
for Tokyo. His wife had very young in
FAINT. The young mother was so overcome
with grief at this unexpected news that
she tainted away and within an hour died,
leaving her husband alone with the new
born babe. What could he do with it !?
Who would care for such mite? Feeling
that his own life was forfeit to his coun-
try, the poor man in a frenzy of passion
ate grief killed his own child. OF course
the law had to step in and he had to be
tried for murder. A merciful jury acuuit-
ted him on the ground of emotional in
sanity.

PREVENTS HYDRoPHOBIA
New Vaccination Method Said to Be
Effective.

From the Scien,if American.
Pasteur's vaccination method for the pre-.
vention of hydrophobia in people bitten by
mad dogs is employed at the institute for
infectious diseases at Berlin. The "Cul-
tus' ministry has just published state
ment with reference to the cases of per-
sons bitten By mad dogs which have come
to the knowledge of the authorities during
1903, and which permits a judgment on the
merits of such vaccine ton based upon au-
thentic facts.
In the year 1903 307 persons We're bitten
by l94 mad dogs or dogs suspected of mad
ness; in 40 of these dogs hydrophobia was
afterward proved beyond doubt. while IL
were found to be healthy; the rest could
not be examined. The 307 persons lived In
eight different provinces-228 of them in
eastern Prussia, western east Prussia and
Silesia, which are close to Russia. Thus
Russia is again shown to be the breeding
place of this plague. OF those bitten 81
proceeded to the institute for infectious dis
eases. and were vaccinated Four of them
died of hydrophObfa and one recovered after
slight attack. Deaths took place on the
thirty-eighth, ffty-siXth one hundred and
tenth and one hundred and thirty-fifth
days, respectively. after the bite.
vaccination has not proved an absolutely
certain remedy, even when applied right
AFTER the bite. The statistics show, how
ever that of 2S1 persons vaccinated only
four died. that Is. 11a per cent while of
those not vaccfnated but treated medically
e per cent died. and of those neither vac
cinated nor treated II per cent died.
In view of these figures" the statement
proceeds, lit is earnestly to be recommends
ed that all persons having the misfortune TO
be bitten by dogs either mad or suspected
of madness a once submit to vaccination.
The value of such vaccination IS being
more and more recognized. During the
last six years the percentage of persons
bitten who submitted to vaccination were
-. 50. 81, 49, 90 and 30. respectively, and
it is TO be hoped that in the future every
bitten person will avail ones self of it,

ART CUsPIDoRs.
Strange Adaptation of the Fine Arts in
New York in 1868.

Immediately following the civil war New
York was a strange, weird city in thou
sand and one respects. The insides of
houses were queer to look at. and to fulfill
the ideals of art then prevailing among the
newly rich class of people some very un-
usual objects were produced. What 1
started to tell you was that in the year
about 1868 a member of the New York stock
exchange sold his seat for s. 800 to go into
the manufacturing business And what do
you suppose he was going to manufacture?
Art cuspidors! Seeing cuspidor hidden
away under one of the seats on the floor
little while ago reminded me Of this. My
friends cuspidor was certainly a novelty.
1t was intended to be first of all ornamen-
tai, nothing in the outward appearance of
the object suggesting its utility. You step
ped on a small pedal and the top of the
thing opened; you expectorated and re-
moved your foot from the pedal and the
top closed down. The tops of the more orr
namental of these cuspidors were covered
with plush or velvet or other expensive
material. and were advertised as objects
that would decorate any parlor. Think of
man selling his seat on the New York
stock exchange to go into this business! 1t
