Three centuries after the Christian

in Brittany. and in Normandy not more
than 100 years ago the household fire
was extinguished on Dec. "a and the
Christmas log was ignited by the aid Of
a flame procured from the lamp burn

fact affords a curious instance of the
probable transference of respect and
reverence from the sacred fire of a

those who could afford to pay for his
services. A sharp Nantucket man is
said to have got the better of the great
defender of the constitution in an
amusing way, however. he had q
small case which was to be tried at
Nantucket one week In June. and he
posted to Webster's office In great
haste. 1t was q contest with a neigh
Dor over a matter of considerable local
Interest, and his pride as a litigant
was at stake. He told Webster the
particulars and asked what he would
charge to conduct the case.

The DREAD CT RABIES.
Out of All Proportion to the Free
quency of The Disease.

HdSISJ OF SIlc oISedSC.
Few accidents are more terrifying to
the sufferer than to be bitten by Il dog
supposed to be mad, and there are few
conditions in which prompt and intelli-
gent action OH the part of the bystand-
ers is more desirable.
Although nearly all warm blooded
animals are susceptible to rabies. it is
most commonly seen in dogs. There
are two fornis-the furious" and the
dumb" In the furious type after q
period of melancholy or depression the
animal becomes restless and irritable,
with Il tendency to run away and snap
at everything in sight, finally becoming
subdued and sul.an and dying OF
paralysis and exhaustion. In dumb
rabies the Stage OF irritahjiity is; alb

is difficulty in swallowing.
1t is often impossible to tell from a

But if instead of killing the animal rs
quickly as possible. as is often unwise-
ly done, tie Owner captures it and
keeps it tor u few days under lock and
key the question answers ~ self. A

eight days, so that if the animal re-

that they are not going to develop by.

At the same time the dog should be
kept under observation, or If already
killed the head and neck should be
packed in ice and preserved for mod
ical examination.
Even If 1t seems certain that the ami
maj was rabid the patient should not
despair, for it Is estimated that only IL
per cen of those bitten by rabid ami
mails actually develop the disease, and
If the Pasteur preventive inoculations
are promptly begun recovery is almost
certain.
The popular dread of rabies is out Of
all proportion to the relative frequency
Of the disease, and the length to which
it may go is shown by the instances in
which people have developed and even
died Of false hydrophobia, a nervous
condition due to fright and Stimulating
to some extent the real malady. -

The Mystery

good table manners are not above re-

OF course, we may not indulge in such
glazing faults as jugglery with ones

with painful audibleness- But how
