MRS. MATILDA zEIGLERS GREAT WORK
Notable BenefactiOn by New York
Woman which VIII BE of
Immense Service to Many
UnfOrtunateHs

One of the most notable benefactions in
the interest of those deprived of their sight
Is the Matilda ziegler Magazine for the
Blind, the first number OF which has re-
Gently been issued. Mrs Matilda Ziegler,
widow Of the late William ziegler of New
York. is its founder and It is to be issued
free TO the blind of the United States who
can read either New York point or Braille.
Friends of Mrs. Ziegler have prevailed
upon her to let her name be used in the
title OF the magazine that the world may
realize that this great gift is from a
/ woman
The magazine will be issued monthly and
Il is the intention OF the publishers to
make II Of a character that will appeal to
the greatest number OF blind rather than
to the very few literary. and yet be OF
interest to all. The suggestion OF Helen
j Keller that the blind are not specialists
/ interested only in blindness" has been well
regarded, and aside from mentioning special
work being done by them and new lines OF
work being done for them, there will be as
little mention as possible OF blindness Short
stories, continued stories, the news of the
month and letters from successful blind
/ people, telling of various lines Of work in
which they have been successful con-
| tribute TO a most interesting volume A
musical column is to be added later.
Printed Under Difficulties.
An immense amount OF work was entailed
in collecting the names and addresses OF
the reading blind over the country, but the
greatest problem was that Of getting the
printing done until a large press required
for the work could be built, this TO take
several months at least. But no sooner
was the announcement of the proiect made
than the American Printing House for the
Blind at Louisville, KY, the largest plant
Of its kind in this country, volunteered to
do anything possible to assist. At the
same time r. z. Colby, manager for tn

mence and the so-called dog days" of
summer as reckoned by the ancients were
forty in number. twenty before and twenty
after the helical rising Of the Dog Star.
The rising of the Dog Star was ignorantly
supposed to be the occasion OF the ex-
treme heat and of the diseases incidental
to these days. It was by mere accident
that the rising OF the Dog Star coincided
with the hottest season OF the year in
times and countries OF the old astronomers.
The time Of its rising depends on the lati-
tude OF the place, and Is later and later
every year in all ATTITUDES, owing to the
procession. In time the star will rise in the

State Industrial School for the Blind at
Hartford, Conn, offered the services of that
institution with the result that the maya
zine can be printed In both the New York
point and Braille, the Louisville house to
print the former and the Hartford school
the latter.
The magazine will not be sent to blind
students while in school, but will be sent
to them at their homes during vacation
and a number of copies sent TO each school
during the school year. AS the expense
of Issuing the magazine is necessarily great
II is requested that anyone receiving it and
not caring for It, notify the publisher,
Walter @. Holmes, 1881 Broadway, New
York, that 1t may be stopped. 1t is also
requested that names of reading blind not
receiving the magazine, be sent to the pub
Usher. While announced that the magazine
is free, it has been necessary to charge a
subscription price of 10 cents a year that
II may be entered as second class matter
in the postoffice. Otherwise the postage on
each copy would be u cents. and the mail
ing alone would be increased 5000 year
Genesis of the Magazine.
The magazine had its inception in letter
sent year ago to the New York papers
by Walter G. Holmes. a newspaper man OF
Memphis Tenn, who has blind brother
/ in which article he commented upno this
need of literature for the blind and the
fact that the great cost OF books place
/ them out OF reach OF the great majority
Mrs. Ziegler, who has blind son, was at
| tracted by the article and communicated
! with Mr.. Holmes, the result being the
magazine just issued. The first issue wai
about 1000 copies, the largest edition fol-
\ the blind ever issued. Il is estimated thai
| 1t will cost Mrs. Ziegler something over s.
! year for each copy she sends out, as this
! process Of printing is dificult and expen
sive. The names of about 5000 blind read
| ers have been received and the magazine
Is being sent to them. In addition TO thes'
there are about $500 students now II
schools for the blind, and more in homes
| for the blind and q certain number o.
copies will be sent 10 these. Mr.. Holmes
who is now manager of the magazine. esti
mates that $4,000 will place a circulating
l library for the blind in every state in tn
union, and he would like to explain hi
plan to everyone interested. The Unite
States mail takes books for the blind fror
a library and returns them free of charge.

able knowledge Of the disease and its symp-
toms, The principal danger Of infection
from an animal consists in the fact that
no one can tell whether the animal be
capable Of injecting or not and also that
people in general do not know a rabid dog
when they see one, for they mistake other
infections, as epilepsy, etc, which are COM
paratively harmless, for hydrophobia but
the disease itself they do not recognize,
because their diagnosis rests on their err
roneous ideas, viz First, that mad dog
is only to be met with in hot weather,
whereas abundant evidence shows more
dogs so mad with rabies in winter than
in summer; second, that the rabid dog is
afraid of water and will not drink This
Is equally erroneous, for the rabid dog is
not afraid OF water and will frequently
drink when he has an opportunity, and will.
as dogs usually do, go into a pond or
stream and swim about and lap the water
Third, that the rabid dog is ferocious and
aggressive. Abundant evidence shows the
rabid dog to be frequently kind and at
fectionate. especially during the early
! 1tages.
Another frequent and serious mistake is
this: As soon as a vaBrant dog has bitten
anyone ne first impulse of the bystander
Is to kill him. But whom this has been
done the only possible means of knowing
whether the animal. were really mad is
| lost and several months must elapse before
/ the injured person can be relieved OF anx.
| iety from this source. II Is evident thai
such a dog should never be killed at once
but should be secured and kept under OBJ
servation for a few days, until his symp
toms are fully developed In a large ma
| jority Of cases It would turn out that the
disease was not rabies. The muzzle is no
a protection. for the dog must be unmuz
zled to be fed. and is of itself a constant
source Of annoyance and worry to the dog
| conditions, which. like unkindness and
abuse, make vagrant dogs easily develop
rabies.
What, then, shall be done? Let al
worthless dogs be destroyed and the few
valuable ones that remain have their tusks
canine and incisor teeth filed down from
point TO a nat surface so that they will
not penetrate. the unbroken skin. This IL
easily done. does not harm the dog mol
unit him for any useful purpose While
not an infallibie protection this is the best
| expedient known to scientific men at the
/ present time and should be adopted by ouI
city council rather than the useless, in
furious and foolish method OF muzzlins
now In use.

in securing improvements only because OF

Riverview recently secured large APP
preparations from the board for the south
end and there certainly are as many In

MuHHIed Dogs, DOG Days and Hydro

OMAHA, March 9s-To the Editor Of The
Bee, AS soon as the warm days OF sum-
mer come in many towns and cities, laws
are enacted requiring that all dogs founo
az large unmuzzled shall be killed, but as
soon as the frosts OF autumn appear, the
dogs are permitted to roam unmuzzled, un-
rnolested. This muzzling Of dogs in hot
weather is supposed by many intelligent
persons TO be a protection OF the people
from the terrible disease hydrophObia. II
IS. however. superstition born OF an isnor-
ant age and kept alive by the ignorance and
credulity OF the masses, for the dog days
