Prevents ENVIRONMENTS.

Pasteur's method for the proven
lion Of hydrophobia in people bitten
by mad dogs is employed at the in.
stitute for infectious disease at Ber-
lin. The "Cultus" ministry has Just
published statement with reference
70 the cases Of persons bitten by mad
logs which have come to the knowl-
edge of tne authorities during 1903
and which permits judgment on the
merits of such vaccination based upon
authentic facts.
Vaccination has not proved an abb
solutely certain remedy, even when
applied right after the bite. The sta
:istics show, however, that of 2S1 per-
sons vaccinated only four died; that
Is, IL per cent; while Of those not
Faccinated but treated medically six
per cent died, and of those neither
Vaccinated nor treated IL per cent
lied.
"In view Of these figures" the state
ment proceeds, 1t 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 of
persons bitten who submitted to vac
eination were 2s. so. 50. rs. 80 and 90
respectively, and 1t is TO be hoped
that in the future every bitten person
will avail themselves of it."-Scien,

rhe Iast Of the Redcoats.

The permanent withdrawal of the
British garrisons from the fortresses
at Halifax and Esquimault has been
accomplished so quietly that North
America as whole has been scarce
" conscious of the fact. 1t means,
however, that for the first time in
centuries the British soldier has left
our continent entirely to its own mill
itary devices, and this has historical
significance which does not escape
the attention of those who have in
mind the part the British soldier has
played in America. If you have the
right kind of imagination it can not
fail to respond to the stimulus Of
this interesting, II inconspicuous, ev-

GINGER IS THEIR TIPPLE.
Victims Of the Habit Become PitIsbIe
WRECKS In Time.

WFcSko IN lime.
The taking Of ginger, in the form OF
essence or strong tincture, is revealed
by medical man as a growing form
OF inebriety both In this country and
America.
AS Its alcoholic strength is about
double that of whiskey or brandy, the
deleterious results of excessive indul-
gence can be imagined.
There is one recorded case in which
the daily dose of victim of ginger
ism" was increased from 10 drops to
pint In the course of three years
Though the habit is more practiced in
the United States than In England,
there are numbers of chemists In Lon
don who admit that they have regular
customers for the repugnant essence,
who buy comparatively large quanti-
ties every week.
The cause Of the habit is nearly al
ways the same. "Gingerists" are peo-
pie with weary brains and disordered
stomachs who seek palliation Of the
results Of overwork. They know that
such drugs as morphia, choral, CO.
caine and chloroform are accumula-
tive in their effect upon the human
system; they know also that ginger
was the homely remedy Of their youth
for stomachie troubles.
1t seems incredible, but it is fact,
that from the taking of few drops Of
this powerful carminative for indiges-
tion "gingerist" will grow into the
habit OF taking large doses, as tonic,
a sedative and palliative.
So far inquiries show that women
are as much addicted to "gingerism"
as men, but the actual victims are diff
ficult to trace, as essence of ginger is
easily purchasable in any chemists
shop by child or grown-up person.
1T must be a very vitiated taste
that can endure large doses Of tine
ture of ginger" said a wholesale chem
list. But. of course, the same can
be said of most violently acting drugs
Once there is a physical demand
created for a particular stimulant. the
palate is disregarded. 1t is the re
suit which is looked forward to, NOT
the immediate impression. In this
connection at least the ordinary al
coholic drinker is more sane than the
taker or the 'gingerist.' He
may put that In his mouth which
steals away his brains, but at least he
gets some physical sensation OF
pleasure in the operation. Ginger
ism is deprayed form Of drugging.'
The result Of the practice seems to
be a negation of the results aimed
at. A doctor said recently that this
form of inebriety, after giving relief
At first, completely disorders the stom-
ach and gives no relief to a busy
brain.-London Mail.

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 own 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 / suffered almost
daily, to the use Of coffee q had been a
coffee drinker for 30 years., but found
It very hard to give up the beverage
81 realized that I must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee, but felt
the necessity for hot table drink, and
as tea is not to my liking, was at a
loss for awhile. what to do.
zone day ran across a very sensible
and straightforward presentation Of
the claims Of Postum Food Coffee, and
was 30 impressed thereby that 1 con-
cluded to give It trial. My experience
with 1t was unsatisfactory till learned
how it ought to be prepared-by thor
ougb boiling for not less than 10 or 20
minutes. After ] learned that lesson
there was no trouble. Postum Food
Coffee proved TO be a most palatable
and satisfactory hot beverage, and
have used II ever since.
1.-THE effect on my health has been
most saiutary. 1t has completely cured
the heart palpitation from which used
to suffer SO much, particularly. after
breakfast, and I never have return Of
it except when / dine or lunch away
from home and am compelled to drink
the old kind Of coffee because Postum
is not served. i find that Postum Food
Coffee cheers and invigorstes while 1t
produces no harmful stimulation"

IN a certain Russian town the DO

a correspondent, to conflscate every
typewriter in the place. These ma
chimes are said to be regarded in Rus.
STA as dangerous organs of sedition.
They are convenient instruments for
the dissemination of literature of
which the government does not ap-
prove. So every typewriter is regis

lice and it is liable to be arrested on
suspicion at any moment.
