SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Signs by Which You May Know When
 Uou Is Really Mad.

Dog Is Really Mad.
 Hydrophobia is so rare and terrifying that its symptoms and treatment ars little understood. As a matter of fact, the commonly accepted expression of madness in dog is often misleading. The real mad dog does not shun wa. ter, as 1t is said On the contrary, mad dogs often rush to the water and drink it eagerly, if they are able to swallow. The mad dog does not froth at the mouth. It does not run amuck, snapping at everything in its path. What, then, are the indications of the mad dog? To those familiar with a given dog the surest symptom and the one which should excite closest atten- tion is distinct and unaccountable change in the dogs disposition, staid dog becoming excitable and frisky one dull. That condition does not nec- essarily mean rabies, but it is sus- picious, and if in addition the dog has trouble in swallowing, as though it seemed to have bone in its throat, beware! That dog should be instantly tied up, because if it be rabies it takes but a day or two for ferocious in- stincts to develop. The unmistakable evidence, however, of a dog with rabies is the sticky, whitish saliva which covers the teeth and shows on the drawn lips. The eyes glare and are red: the dog has paroxysms of run ming fury, during which it barks hoarsely, which alternate with periods of temporary exhaustion. - Caspar Whitney in Outing.

TWO VERSIONS.
Story of the Climb as Told by the
 Tourist and the Guide.

Story of the Climb as Told by tho
 Tourist and the Guide.
 He was touring the Bernese Ober- land. At the Bear hotel in Grindewald a mountaineer sat in the hall, a glass of beer before him and his feet, in their hobnailed mountain boots, extended to- ward the fire. The mountaineer had just made an ascent of the Tiger, and he talked like this about 1t:
 "'Well; well, well, climb indeed four hours of ineessant step cutting with an ax on an ice slope as smooth as glass and as steep as a wall Look at this bunch of edelweiss. spied it on the edge of a dreadful precipice. My guide refused to let me pluck it; said it was madness. For his part, he would not risk his life so foollshly. But at last. what with eloquence and an offer of POO francs, persuaded him to come along. The advance was awful. One fnisstep meant death. But se- cured the flower when suddenly the guides foot slipped, he fell and began to roll toward the edge. But I thrust my ax firmly into the ice and, bracing myself, seized the rope that bound us together, and-the man was saved
 And at the same time in the hotel kitchen the guide was giving another version of the ascent in words like these:
 "'Well, well, what customer! An other like that chap and give up the business. From the start he was faint and dizzy. In fact. wherever any real climbing began we had to carry him like sack of meal. And mean! Re- fused us single penny extra for all our extra trouble. Last of all, he beg ged for the sprig of eidelweiss I wore in my hat, and was fool enough to let him have it.'"-New York Times.

Haira In tha Watch.

"well, sir, had to send my watch downtown to have 1t cleaned out again." said an east side barber the other day. q have to send my watch to the repair shop about once month, and there is absolutely nothing the matter with it, except that it is full of hairs. I do not understand how the hairs can get into the works and be- hind the hands and mix up in the handspring and every place as they do fin my timepiece. I watched myself one month as closely as I could. and I swear never opened the back of 1t. Yet at the end of the month I unscrew- ed the back lid, and 1t was full of lit- tie fine hairs. I always keep 1t in my pocket when I am cutting hair, but I don't sec how any hairs get into the watch. Yet they must. because they are always there" - Columbus Dis patch.

FISHES FACES.
The Fascination They Have For One
 Lover of Nature.

The Fascination They Have For One
 Lover of Nature.
 Did you ever stop to examine the expression on the face of fish? I do not mean of some notoriously gro- tesque fish, but of just any plain sea faring fish. I confess that the fascina- tion for me is the same whether I stand in front of some great collection of little monstrositles like that in the Naples aquarium or whether 1 sit by my dining room window and contem- plate the goldfish in my little boys glass bowl. People watch the mon- keys at the zoo and remark how hu- man they are, how sly and crafty the old ones, how cute and playful the young ones. But for steady company give me the fish. How restful they are with their mouthings, as regular as if they were governed by balance wheel. How quiet, too, for not one word of murmured protest or of chat tering fault finding do they inflict upon us! How philosophical as they bask in the sun the livelong day or seek the occasional shade of the modest sprig of greens which forms the conventional garnishing of their wa tery abode! How easily gratified are their simple tastes! Surely with their good manners, their quiet department and their stoical bearing goldfish are the ideal companions of. the mature man. Monkeys and dogs and kittens may amuse the children by their tricks and antics. but only the grown man can appreciate the solid qualities of the fish's character as written upon his features s-Atlantic Monthly.

SWankars.

A number of our contemporaries ap- pear to be somewhat exercised as to the precise meaning of the word "swank." Swank, though usually called by other names, is the leading characteristic of Englishmen. French men used to talk of ''perfldious AL bion." It was simply another way of calling us swankers. To swank is, broadly, to make the thing that is not seem as the thing that is. - London Globe.

Tribute to Stephen D. Lee

Harkt the roll of the funeral drums And music soft and sweet. The ranks of Grey are filing by O,,t in the quiet street. Where loyal feet are keeping time. ~ To many A martial tread Made glorious bv the bows in Grey. Who now solemn tribute pay
 To our honored dead. So wave the flags at mourning mast. Of Stars and Stripes and Bars, For peace has hushed amid the years, The strife of civil jars. And some are resting in the grave Who fought the gallant Tray. And some a silent vigil keep Where now we lay him down to sleep The Chieftain of the Gray Twas when the morn along the sky Her early splendors pressed. He heard the bugle calling low To Gods eternal rest He heard the sound of victory
 And laid his weary head To sleep upon his pillows foid And when his hands were still ana coio They told us he was dead. Thus, one by one, we watch them go The Veterans tbf the Gray Tho ones who led, and followed, too, On many a glorious day. And when we meet again and hands In friendly hands are pressed. There many a face will absent be And we will mourn that stephen 1re Is missing with the rest.

Sixth Annual Commencement of the
 Hammond Studio.

Sixth Annual Commencement of the
 Hammond Studio.
 In the presence of an audience which filled almost, every seat in the Grand, the sixth annual evening of classics by the pupils of the Hammond Studio of Music, was held last night.
 An elaborate program had been pre- pared for the occasion, consisting Of plano, violin and vocal numbers, and comprising a wide range of classic com- posittons. A feature of the evening was the playing of Miss Mary Jeanette Edson, the only graduate of the studio this session. A complete program of six numbers was performed by this gifted girl in a manner indicative of versatile, genius and thorough train ing. The sub graduates were Miss Leora Norman and Miss Katherine Davis.
 The program was divided into two parts, and the numbers were rendered in a manner that brought forth re- ueated applause. One of the numbers played during the first part was Ls Savoy, the popular competition of Sam Hirscher of Montgomery.
 An interesting number of the second mart of the program was the singing of Lucia by q male sextette. Int voices were excellent.
 The evening was greatly enjoyed. and the creditable showing of the pupils was the subject ot much praise.

STICKING TO POSTS
ALABAMA DELEGATION TO SEE
 THE WIND-UP.
The Democratic Senators Regard the Aldrich-vreelmnd Currency Bill as
 Piece of "Hodge-POdge" Legislation.

Washington, D. c. May 2s.--(Special) Many of the members of the house have left the city and others are pre- pairing to go tomorrow morning, re- gardIess of the turn things take in the Senate. The Alabama delegation are sticking to their posts, however. and expect to stay here for the wind up.
 Colonel wlley's condition is about the same. He is still a very sick man and the physicians are unable to re- duce the painful swelling in his right knee which has made him absolutely helpless for the past two months. As soon as he can be moved Colonel Wiley will be taken to the Virginia Hot Springs.
 There is really little use for the Ala bamians to remain here, for no ad- ditionaI Iegislation can get through other than the currency and public buildings bill. The Alabama items in the latter measure are as previosly mentioned in this correspondence. The bill win not be changed in the iightest particular. It is now on parchment sheets, and as soon as the Senate adopts the conference report on the currency bill Speaker Cannon will is- sue the order to have the building bill taken up and speedily put through. It Is thought the Senate and House can do this. inside of a couple of hours. The president has assured republican members that he will sign the buildings bill as soon as it reaches him. He Is anxious for adjournment as the Sem ators and Representatives. He wants to get his family settled at once at Oyster Bay for the summer.
 Senate Democrats are not disposed to unnecessarily delay passage of the Aldrich -Vreeland bill because they re- gard it as a measure so obnoxious to the country that the republicans will be condemned for such a piece of .'hodge-podge" legislation. As dem ocratic senators remarked today, Tom Watson ought to be feeling good, for the reason that the republicans have included features in the bill that are wilder than anything proposed at the Ocala Populist convention.
 Other democrats express the opinion that in passing this bill the political manipulators expect to raise a big campaign fund from certain interests to help elect the republican candidates for president and vice president and members of congress.
 The Alabama Senators consider the bill a most objectionable one
 Senator Daniel of Virginia says that in all his experiences in public life. he has never seen such a monstrosity brought forth. But the order has been issued and nearly all of the Senate re- publicans will shut their eyes and vote for 1t.

 But what the Committee wants right at this particular time Is the money, real money enough to put the fair on its feet so that the other matters that will have to be considered can be taken up and worked out. For instance, the promoters of the fair are offered the best line of amusement attractions ever brought to Montgomery, but h order to secure them the contract must be signed by June 1.
