Rin9ling's Now Are Circus Kings

Let any one suddenly raise the
cry Mad dogI" in the streets and the
average man, woman or child is
struck with panic terror. The sight
of q dog merely running with his
tongue hanging out is usually enough
to start a riot, while a little foam at
the dogs mouth viii drive crowd to
frenzy. There are few diseases In
man or animal so much misunder-
stood as hydrophobia. The public is
wrong, or nearly SO, in its judgment
of these symptoms. Foaming at the
mouth, for instance, is not a symp-
tom of rabies; hot weather has no eff
feet on dogs, mad or otherwise,
while many other popular ideas of
the disease are equally absurd, DR..
Roscoe R. Bell, d. v. S., president of
the Veterinary Medical Association
of New York, a recognized authority
on hydrophobia, throws an entirely
new light upon this much misunder-
stdpd disease.
Tsat the disease actually exists,
thereN can be no question. DR.. Bell
maintains, and often in a virulent
form. Hydrophobia, it is not gen
orally known, has been the subject OF
an immense amount of investigation
and experiment. The best medical
thought, both in America and in
Europe, has come to the conclusion
thot tho dicoaca fbnrob much Y,icnn
derstood, is a common menace. The
disease has been reproduced repeat
eddy in the laboratories by treating
the brain of mad dog. The serum
has been actually cultivated.
Despite the very common, almost
universal, opinion to the contrary,
heat does not drive dogs mad. There
are no more mad in summer than in
winter. The fact that more people
are bitten in the summer time than
in the winter is simply due to the
fact that in warm weather dogs run
about more freely than in winter,
when they seek shelter. More people
are, therefore, bitten in the summer
season. The hot weather is likAy
to make dogs cross and ugly, and in
running about they are, of course.
likely to bite people, but the chance
that such dogs are mad, in the sense
that they have rabies, is very remote
The appearance of dogs in hot
weather, when they run with their
tongues out or with froth at their
mouth, deceives many people into
thinking they are mad, when, as n
matter of fact they are merely tired
or overheated.
A mad dog does not bite, contrary
to the general opinion. He merely
nips at one, usually scarcely more
than breaking the skin Such break
in the skin is, of course, quite enough
to introduce the dangerous germs.
When dog opens his mouth wide
and bites any one, making a large

SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

From THE South and Its Problems, .
by A. W. Ddmock, in the Metropolitan
Observation-Disclosures in a hotel your
waiter, who cannot read the order you
have written, will allude to the time
when he was member of the legis-
lature. Your barber, If he can be in
duced to converse, may entertain you
with an account of the siege of the
capitol at Columbia by Wade Hamp-
ton, and of his own precipitate fight
when the United States troops were
withdrawn. II you chance to travel
by the mail wagon from Beaufort to
that he is the Honorable Hastings
CAN'T, late member of the legislature
of South Carolina, now returned to
his before-the-war occupation of driv-
ing team, while as friend walks
with you to the church of which he
may be an elder, he is reasonably Ger
tain to tell you of the tissue ballots
with which he aided his people to null

executive of nation for the govern
ment of a state.
Shiftless and indispensable as the
NEGRO often is, yet he raises nearly
half the cotton crop of the country
and the farm owners of his race in
the southern states are now counted
by the hundred thousand.
The old plantation life is dead,
dead as slavery, dead as the fantastic
chivalry of the Middle Ages. Yet the
land is as fertile, skill to develop 1t as
plentiful, and laborers whom nature
has adapted to conditions and climate,
as numerous as ever, requiring only
Itactful control. American statesmen
have declared such control only pos
lsible through methods that SAVIOR of
the dark ages, and have passionately
protested that education of the negro
threatened social purity and made

the morality to make the Anglo-Afri-
can impossible. Yet member of this
despised race, looking into the future
with the eye of prophet, has pointed
out the only solution of the so-called
race problem, consistent with the spirit
Of the age. No man of feeling can
look upon and apprehend the work,

Booker T. Washington without emotion

high on the scroll of fame of his race.
