with:
1t has been observed with regret that
numerous sensational stories concern
ing alleged mad dogs and the terrible
results to human beings bitten by them
are published from time to time. Such
accounts brighten people into various
nervous disorders and cause brutal
treatment of animals suspected OF mad
ness: and yet there is upon record
great mass of testimony from physl-
clans asserting the extreme rarity OF
hydrophobia even in the dog, whlle
MANY medical men of wide experience
are of the opinion that If it develops
in human beings at all it is only on ex-
tremely rare occasions; that the con-
dition of hysterical excitement In man
described as "hydrophobia" is merely a
series of symptoms, such dread being
caused by realistic reports acting upon
the Vaccinations Of persons scratched
or bitten by animals suspected of
rabies.
The late Dr. Hiram Corson, whose
nractice extended over period of sew
enty years, during which time he
searched diligently for the disease in
man or animal, wrote under date Of
January IS, 1896: Il have never had
real case of hydrophobia.'
DR.. Thraill Green, a physician like
DR.. Corson, accurate in observation,
careful in statement, and whose prac-
tice also extended over long period
wrote under date of January %, 1896:

phobia, nor have l ever seen a case
In the practice of other physicians"
DR.. Matthew Woods. who has been
in quest of the disease for twenty
years, and who during two summers
personally visited every case reported
in Philadelphia, asserts that he never
saw hydrophobia either in man or ami
NAL, and although six years ago, at
the conclusion of paper on the sub
ject read before a large audience, he
offered 500 to any person bringing
him such patient, yet so far no one
has claimed the reward

Goodbye, Euclid.

Within the last few years revolu-
ton has been accomplished at Oxford
which ought really to affect the mind
of the nation more than the difference
between Lord Curzon and Lord Rose
berry. A textbook has been discarded
which was already venerable for its an
tiquity at the beginning Of the Chris
tan era. Needless to say, we are re-
ferring to Euclid's Elements" For
what other textbook ever had such a
run as that? 1t has been accepted ever
since its publication, which was in the
reign of the first Ptolemy (B. G. 1928
2S5). No writer has ever become so
identified with a science as Euclid with
geometry. The nearest approaches are
to be found in the relation of Aristotle
to logic and of Adam Smith to politi-
cal economy.-London Spectator.

THE DESERTED SANDWICH.


1t Had the Fatal Gift of Beauty and
1t Was Coveted by Many.
Don't leave your sandwich up there
on the advertising boards" said Tom
my's mother; 'the train will come
along soon and you will forget it."
But Tommy did not heed the warn
ing, the train came and went away
with Tommy and his mother and the
Others bound for Coney Island, and
the sandwich remained, says the New
York Sun.
1t was a remarkably neat package
for sandwich. Lying there on top of
the advertising boards it looked as if
it had been done up by jeweler, SO
rectangular was it and so precisely
were the ends Of the wrapper folded
over.
An elderly man stood near by read
ing his newspaper. He had heard the
talk about the sandwich and he noted
that the event had turned out as Tom
my's mother had predicted.
A young girl came up the stairs and
walked along the platform. She saw
the neat package and looked from it
toward the man. He drew step near
er to it, glanced at it as If to assure
himself that 1t was still there, and re-
sumed reading his paper.
Several passengers alighted from the
next train, and as they passed the
sandwich most of them saw it and the
man and tried to decide whether it be-
longed to him. One young fellow stroll
ed back, after going as far as the door
of the waiting room, and walked slowly
up and down the platform.
The elderly man stepped to the edge
of the platform and looked along the
track, as if to see whether the train
was coming. Just as he turned to take
his former position he saw the young
man lingering close to the sandwich.
He cleared his throat with a loud
"Ahem !" and rested his arm on the adj
vertising boards few feet away from
the package. The young man took the
next train that came along.
A large woman rugged out in clothes
that she evidently thought were just
the thing hurried UP the stairs and was
rushing toward the train that had just
come in. Her eye caught the package
with its jewelry store appearance, and
she did not enter the train.
She looked up and down the track
and glanced toward the sandwich, and
from it toward the man. He folded
his paper, put his reading glasses in
his pocket and again stepped to the edge
of the platform and looked along the
rails.
The woman eyed him and the pack
age alternately. The roar Of a train
was heard. AS it slowed down the
man, all unmindful of the package, hur-
ried toward one Of the car gates. The
man stood on the car platform as the
train moved out
By leaning outward as the train
rushed away he could watch the pack
age long enough to see the large wom-
an grab it from the top Of the sign
boards, thrust it under her summer
wrap and hurry down the platform
stairs faster than she came up. Quite
naturally he smiled.

The minute Postmaster General
Meyer had expressed himself as seri-
ously considering the feasibility Of add
ing parcels post to the postof1ice
service with a limit of ten pounds
weight on packages carried there was
a rush Of arguments from certain quar-
tiers to show why such a service would
be impracticable in the United States,
although every other country could use
it. The central assertion on which the
arguments depended was that distances
were too great in the United States.
1t was claimed that with a uniform
postage rate depending on weight alone
the government would lose all the
profitable short distance matter and be
compelled to carry all the long distance
matter at a loss, which the critics did
not hesitate to estimate, in advance
Of any information as to the exact plan
of the department, at q minimum of
S150,O0O,O00 a year. 1t may or may
not be the case that thorough parcels
post system would have to modify to
some extent the method so successfully
employed in European countries. But
here are some facts as to what the gov
eminent finds itself able to do to-day
in the way of giving parcels service to
and from foreign countries, which bear
on the problem. Packages may now be
sent TO most of the South and Central
American countries, to Germany, Great
Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
and Belgium, and to Australia, New
Zealand, Japan, Korea and many Chin
csc cities at the rate Of - cents a
pound. For the majority of these coun-
tries the maximum weight Is eleven
pounds, and to none is the permitted
weight less than four pounds six
ounces. The packages may be three
feet six inches in length or six feet in
length and girth combined. This serv-
ice is given, even though domestic par
cells cannot exceed four pounds in
weight and cost q cent an ounce or 16
cents a pound. At the cheaper foreign
rate packages may be carried the full
length of the United States and then
to a foreign country. And even more
striking discrimination against domes-
tic service is to be found in the case of
matter classified as commercial pa
per-" including deeds, invoices, manu-
script and so forth. This can be sent
abroad at the rate Of 1 cent for two
ounces, while at home it costs full
letter postage rates of cents an ounce,
just four times as much. Apparently
there would be no terrific danger of
Immediate ruin should the government
try to experiment at home with the
service it now can give to foreign coun-
