TO AVOID A MAD DOG.
He Will Attack No One Who Does Not
Bar His Way.

Mad dogs do not attack people. This
Is the statement made by DR.. P. M.
Hall, city health commissioner, says
the Minneapolis Journal:
when a dog has the rabies" said
Doctor Hall, "he has lost control OF
his body and what he does is mechan-
ical. His jaws snap involuntarily, and
IL he encounters any object, whether
animate or inanimate, he Is likely to
bite it. But a mad dog does not at
tack as does an angry dog. He does
not pick out a victim and use any
strategy.
For this reason dogs suffering from
rabies are less dangerous than is sup
posed. No grown person need fear
them, for all he has to do Is to get
out of the way. The dog will not
chase him. OF course, young chill
dren are in danger, as they do not
know how to dodge the brute. A we'll
directed kick in the jaw delivered by
a man Of ordinary strength will put
a mad dog out Of business for time
at least and is much easier 10 lano
than it would be If the dog were mere
ly angry and had control Of himself.
Most mad dog panics are false
alarms. Doctor Ohage, Of st. Paul,
told me Of one case which is typical.
A. dog was taken by his owner into
large department store. They became
separated and the dog, as good dog
should, began to run about in search
of his master. Some one raised the
cry of mad dog and there was pan
ic. The dog was as badly scared as
any one else, and tried to get away.
A policeman tried to stop him. ana
the dog very properly bit the police
man in self-defense.
"That dog was perfectly we'll, and,
according to his reasoning powers,
acted in a rational manner. Yet the
affair was magnified into another mad
dog scare"

plexes involving the centres presiding
over the muscles involved.
Not only can the arrest Of ventricu-
lar contraction, with inco-ordinated
fibrillar quivering, be brought about
by injury Of the centre Of the septum
previously referred to, but by moder-
ate cooling or faradizing Of the heart
by the plugging Of branches Of the
coronary arteries, or by the action Of
certain poisons, such as chloroform.
II in any such cases the arteries are
again caused to dilate, as by the ap-
plication Of moderate heat, by the ac-
ton Of chloral hydrate, or by contin-
uous electric currents Of high tension
above 240 volts, the heart again be-
gins to pulsate.
In the researches which formed the
basis Of his recent communication to
the Academy Of Sciences Doctor
Kronecker applied ligatures to the
coronary arteries supplying both ven
tricles or one. He found that the iig-
ature of the left coronary artery,
which supplies the left ventricle,
causes anaemia Of this ventricle, which
passes into the condition Of quiver-
ing dilation, and which usually is
shared by the right ventricle. On
passing a continuous current of 240
volts through the ventricles during a
brief period the right ventricle re-
commences to beat, but never the left.
Doctor Kronecker concludes from
all his observations that acute anae-
mia (bloodlessness) is the essential
cause Of the fibrillar quivering (fiim-
mern) Of the heart, and that all the
causes which have been enumerated
as leading to this quivering act. by
bringing about this ventricular amaze
mia
Further, he considers that his OBJ
servations indicate that the two ven-
tricles are not inseparably connected
In their action, but that they are un-
der the influence of co-ordinated
nerve-plexuses which may be sepa-
rately paralyzed by partial anamie.
In connection with these physiolog-
ical experiments are to be cited the
cases Of disease Of the heart (only
rarely put on record) in which one
yentricle pulsates and the other does
not, or in which the normal simulta-
neous rhythm Of the two ventricles is
greatly disturbed. They also afford
an explanation Of the fact that cur
rents Of extremely high tension which
have been employed In judicial exc
cutions often have failed to kill, or,
at any rate, often killed tardily, while
slight contact with wires or cables
conveying currents at much lower
potential often have caused death in
simultaneously.

order not to let the others unduly

in a melancholy mood at table or to

matters of religious piety. Foremost
of all, one must always be in good hu-

did the Prophet himself.
You must always help yourself from
the side Of the dish nearest to you and
never try to find out the best bits,
which ought to be left for the other
guests. II one of the invited has not
much appetite, you must ask him up
to three times to partake Of the meals.
A longer insistence would cause ennui
and would be most inappropriate. You
must never stop eating before others,
because in doing so you will embarrass
them and cause them to finish quick

Never eat gluttonously but also
never attempt to conceai your good

Exaggerated compliments are always
misplaced. The hosts duty is to make

CHAPTER XVII.
At the Inn.

Esther slept on till midnight; then,
with her husbands name on her lips,
she awoke to find herself alone, for
saken.
At first she could not comprehend it.
Guy" she called, like a frightened
child. "Oh, Guy, where are you?"
But there was no answer. Guy, by
that time, was journeying swiftly to-
ward Canada. She read the message
he had left-it seemed mysterious and
cruel! Some Of the lines were as San
script to this deserted bride-for IN
stance, what did he mean by saying
that he should love her, though she
were ten times her fathers daughter?
Why did he object to her unknown
her far-away miner-father? And what
was the great mistake which had been
made?
His mother was dying, and he had
gone to her; but, oh, that he should go
in this way, and with this strange, In
coherent farewell! And how indefi-
nitely he spoke of his return! AS she
stood in that lonely chamber, trying to
comprehend the full measure Of her
trouble, a foreboding of evil, sharp,
agonizing, seized upon Esther, and
forced a bitter cry from her lips.
HE will never come back! He has
ceased to love me-he will never come
back"
Then she grew ashamed of her own
weakness. Did she not love him more
than life, and could she not trust him?
Surely he would return soon and ex-
plain everything. Meanwhile she must
be patient.
She was patient. For the first week
she waited quietly at that old inn;
but no message, no token Of remem-
brance came from the absent bride
groom.
Upon the arrival of the stage from
Barton, the postoffice, in the old fish,
house down the street, became the
daily recipient of a mail. Esther was
always on the spot when the leather
bag was tossed down to the gruff post
master; but day after day that griZ-
zled official poked his head through
hole in the wall and called out, Moth
in" in answer to her brief inquiry
Esther would then lower her veil and
walk quickly away.
The second week. however, matters
grew worse Her handsome face put
on sharpened, rigid look. She did
not eat or sleep. A feverish restless
ness got possession of her. The peo-
pie at the inn began to watch her with
curious eyes.
One day she went, as usual, to the
lfish-h house, and this time the gruf1

THE HEARTS MECHANISM.
Dr.. Hugo Kronecker Tells of His Most
Recent Discoveries.

A Paris cablegram published in the
New York Times referred briefly to
the fact that a paper read by DR..
Hugo Kronecker Of Berne, in which
he discussed his experiments on the
mechanism of the heart, had evoked
keen interest among the members of
the Academy of Sciences. DR.. Kron-
ecker, who Is professor Of physiology
in the University Of Berne, and direc-
tor of the Institute Mercy, Paris, sent
to the New York Times for the bene-
fit Of it's readers detailed information
regarding the results attained by him
and the opinions in connection with
them which he has been led to form.
In general Professor Kronecker
says the heart is marvelously resist
ant toward mechanical irritation.
Hundreds of punctures with a needle
NAV fail to kill it, and, indeed, a
puncture Of the heart, or pricking
with a needle, was recommended by
Steiner in 1871 as a means or restor-
ing the activity of the heart In the
syncope (faintness or collapse) pro-
duced by chloroform. 1t was shown,
however, by Doctor Kronecker, In
1884, that there exists q spot In the
septum or partition between the ven-
tricles which, If injured by the mere
puncture Of a needle, at once causes
a condition Of distinct diastole or dila-
tation with a widely inco-ordinated
uuivering contraction Of their constit-
uent muscular fibres. The creature
whose heart has been thus injured
dies with it's ventricles widely dilated.
Doctor Kronecker explained the
paralysis of the nerves OF the heart
which follows the localized injury
above referred to by supposing that
in the region of the septum mentioned
there exists a nerve centre presioing
over the innervation Of the coronary
arteries, and that when this centre Is
irritated blood vessels Of the muscu-
lar walls Of the heart become emptieo
of blood, leading to inco-ordinated
movements Of the latter, which are
analogous to the paralysis of certain
sroups of skeletal muscles, which are
observed as a result Of cerebral apo

The Vermont Idea for Savings
Ranks.

The Ludlow Tribune thinks that the
idea of Savings Banks keeping Vermont
money at home will appeal to Vermont
ers. In commenting on this particular
feature of the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company of Hyde
Park, it says:
Last Thursday this bank passed the
million dollar mark in its assets-a and
not single cent of it invested outside of
Vermont. So distinctively Vermont
flavor naturally appeals to the taste of
Vermonters, because it smacks of level
headed management and a safety which
is quite assuring. Congratulations are
certainly in order.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM
pounded semi-annually on deposits OF
500 or more, remaining in the bank
one full year.
