From the published &C.

prevailed that the State had a

produced, however, which made
the case take on a different hue,
and feeling that with this evil

first degree could not be hoped
for from a jury, Solicitor Ham
mer agreed to a plea of guilty of
murder in the second degree. Fox
was sentenced to twenty years III

merchant in that town. When
the purchaser opened the bag he
found a lady's gold watch and

he had purchaed the grain, but
he refused to receive it, saying tt

did not belong to him. The grain
was sold to the merchant by a
Davidson county farmer.

RABIES FROM A DOGS PAW.

Bite Not Necessary to Communicate
the Disease, a Scientist Shows.
The popular notion that rabies only
follows the bite of a mad animal or,
by exception, the licking of superb
cial wound is incorrect. P. Remlin-
ger, director of the Imperial BAG
THEOLOGICAL institute of Constantine
pie. has brought forward three obser-
vations, which show the possibility of
third method of contamination.
A certain number of animals. parti-
cularly the dog and the cat, have tho
habit Of licking their paws. But Roux
and Nocard have shown that the sa-
Iva becomes yirulent in a few days
after the first appearance of the
symptoms of rabies. When the rabid
animal Is confined in one place the
saliva drips upon the ground and soils
his paws, which are also contaminated
by licking with his tongue.
Wounds, therefore, made by scratch
ing with the claws of rabid animal
are necessarily infected wounds. In
scratching the human skin the animal
lays bare number of nerve filaments,
upon which the virus is deposited.
Persons who are scratched by animals
thought to be mad should, therefore,
submit themselves to appropriate
treatment without loss of time.

1.-THE Pope of Holland House,"

Time has not dealt kindly with John
Whishaw. The National Directory of
Biography ignores him. When Car
lyle asked the elder Sterling who he
was, Hes damned old humbug," was
the reply; dimes at Holland House."
The fact of his 1ameness emerges from
every account. Sydney Smith once
pointed him out as Hannibal, who lost
his leg in the Carthaginian War. "This
is not sufficient for immortality.
Wishaw was an accomplished scholar
and a sedulous official. He wrote and
he talked excellent sense for many
years. A friend of Lord and Lady Hol-
land, he lived on terms of intimacy
with the Wings, and it is evident that
he knew as much concerning the con-
duct of the Edinburgh as the editor
himself.-London Spectator. ,":zi<

Equal to the Occasion.

Long after the victories of ,Washing
ton over French and British had made
his name familiar to all Europe, Ben
jamin Franklin CHANGED to dine with
the British and French ambassadors
when the following toasts were drunk:
'England'-The Sun, whose bright
beams enlighten and fructify the re
hottest corners of the earth.' I
The French ambassador, filled with
national pride, but too polite to dis
pute the previous toast, offered the fol
lowing: =.
'France'-The moon, whose mild
steady, and cheering rays are the &c
light of all nations, consoling them il
darkness and making their dreariness
beautiful"
DR.. Franklin then arose, and, witt
his usual dignified simplicity, said:
"'George Washington'-The Joshua
who commanded the Sun and Moon tt
stand still, and they obeyed him."

Scientific Food.

OF course, where physicians don't
agree it is not likely that nurses will,
but as a. rule nurses say that good
food, plenty of air, and lots of sleep
are the only things needed for the
growing child. Nine mothers in ten
vote with the nurses on this, but the
question of what is good food seems
to divide ALL. In many professional
nurseries there is regular scientific
diet, and yet the youngsters do not
compare in bone. sinew, or flesh with
the "three-year-old" who eats almost
everything that comes along and es'
capes many of the maladies that child
hood is heir to in these days. The
truth Is that few babies are alike In
physique and that any general treat
ment either in food Or by nurses can
not tit all cases.

Strenuous Life DANGEROUS.

A warning is uttered by the Prac-
titioner against the dangers Of the
strenuous life. It is good to be siren
uous, it is averred, but it is also good,
as the poet tells us, to play the fool
or, at any rate, to be idle at the right
time and in the right way. This is
just what the strenuous man forgets
and the consequence is. too often
premature breakdown common
event in the storm and stress of mod
ern life. The strenuous life is help
ing to overcroW our asylums. We
need to learn the cincalculable value Of
rest. This consists, not in a change
of excitement; or in hard work dis
guised as a game, but in genuine re-
pose. A man who knows how to rest
from labor will live longer and ac-
complish more than one who allows
the fever Of strenuous living to fret
his mind and body to premature de-
cay. * \ 81. 49, - -

Cart, w. II. Singer Dead.

Capt. Walter II. Singer, died Satur-
day afternoon at Houghton, Mich, The
end came ut 4:3O o'clock. Mrs. Singer
was at her husbands bedside at the
time. He was 40 years of age. Besides
Mrs. Singer, two brothers. Edward T.
Singer and Charles G. Singer, survive
him. The former is now at Isle Royale,
and the latter is resident of New York.
The captains death was due to stomach
trouble.
More recently Capt. Singer has been
prominently before the public because
of his connections with Isle Royale. For
years he has been an enthusiastic boost
or of the island, and he had unbounded
confidence in the future of the popular
resort. He was the first man to think it
worth while to put passenger boats in
service between the island and mainland
points.
Capt. Singer built summer hotel at
Washington Harbor, Isle Royale in 1903,
and later constructed number of COT
tages there. Capt. and Mrs. Singer have
since devoted much Of their time and at
tention to this Isle Royale business.
The captain has probably done more
than any other one person to make Isle
Royale the popular resort it is today.
He was friend of every one patronlzing
the island resorts, whether they stayed
at his hotel or not, and was very popu-
lar with everybody with whom he came
IN contact. He seemed to be everybody g
friend, for he made friends easily. and
retained them even more easily Du-
