Eallacies About Rabies,

From the New York Globe.
 The pathological division Of the bureau of animal industry has issued namphlet on mad dogs. It states that rabies has increased in the United States, and points to the fact that by muzzling all dogs continuously for few years European countr1eS-aaVe ridden themselves of this scourge.
 It is fallacious and superstitious to presume that the muzzling process should be confined to "dog days" or the hot season from the first Of July to the middle of August, when the dog star Sirus is above the horizon with the sun; in summer and in winter dogs are equally liable to infection, and rabies is prevalent in all seasons. The mad stone' is an inefficacious amulet. To shoot dog in perfect health on the theory that should 1t develop rabies in the remote future the person 1t has bit ten will likewise be affected is mon- strous. The beast should be kept alive ten days, when, if it shall have failed to develop symptoms, there Is no fear of danger. No animal has "spontane- ous" rabies; it must itself be infected Dy a DlLo or IdCoTdtiOu. A Ildu ooS uoOn not fear water, and it may venture to cross stream. But well-marked symptoms of change of disposition, attenuation of voice, inability to swal. low, returning home in an exhausted condition, paralysis of the jaw, or swal- lowing abnormal substances, such as wood and stones, should lead its owner to place it under restraint bite may be harmless whether the dog's mouth be red or black within-the black color is due to perfectly normal deposit of pigment.
 Whoever is incredulous that rabies exist ought to witness the cases of in fected animals under the charge of health officers, veterinarians, or in the Pasteur institute. Folks never die of lyssophobia or fear of madness" but for genuine hydrophobia the sole cure recommended by the pathologists at Washington is the Pasteur treatment

ernment has it's individual seal. The de- partment of state has d seal much like that of the United States, with 13 stars placed on the chief of the shield The seal of the treasury department shows a scale and a key above and belpw re- spectively above a square in a shield, with the following circumscription; 'The- saur Amer, Septent Sigil." This peal is quite heraldic in character and dppears on all paper currency.
 The war department seal bears d group of military flags and a cap of liberty between a spear and musket, ana above these a serpent. The eagle appears on the seals of the departments of the interior and justice, and it is combined with an anchor and ship on that of tie navy department. The postoffice department has as its device a mounted pail car rier or post rider" design used by Benjamin Franklin.
 The seal of the agricultural Apartment has a sheaf of wheat and corn bn a field and blow. The shield bearing these insignia is surrounded by stars, hnd bears the following circumseription: United States Department of Agriculture 1882 1889. Agriculture and Commerce Ehe Foun- dation of Manufa acture.'
 Most every division and bra1th of the government departments has itS own dis tinctive seal, and placing the insignia and seals of the government sids by side they make an interesting collection of American heraldry and symbolism.

THE AIR IN DENVER R.

 Catches Cold Easily

Julius Chambers in the Brookltn Eagle.
 Few people who visit Denter realize that it is located only fcwIfeet short of mile above the sea level At such attitudes the climate is alwiys treach- erous. The midday sun may be broil- ing hot, but after dark the air is soon chilled and one is liable to contract cold.
 Several of the Spanish tities stand upon the crests of tall Hills, where such climatic changes occur after nightfall. When, as a boy 1t the grand opera, I saw Spaniards ih Carmen" or "The Barber of Seville" toss their long cloaks or capes about their faces, I assumed that the act wat intended to disguise them-to hide their faces. Nothing of the sort. The Spaniard, like the Italian of the Alpine rtgion, always covers his mouth after sundown to minimize danger to his lungs from the night air
 Cautiously, the women haven't any fear of the chill that follows the dark ness. They may be setn in low-cut bodices at all hours of the evening, in the cafes, at balls, on the streets. The men, however, are ir terror of cold night winds. Pneumonia and tubercu- losis carry off great many Vlclms III Spain and northern Italy,

Dust Germs.

Hollis Godfrey, in the July Atlantic.
 One germ found in dust needs especial mention. Tuberculosis. which may be classed among the dust diseases, ravages our country beyond all other plaques today. The consumptive sheds hundreds and thousands of living tubercle bacilli every time he sends forth sputum where it can mix with the dust of street or room. Once mixed with that dust, de- posted on sand or other cutting particle, the poisoned weapon flies upward ready 10 cut through and enter the body through the lesion formed in the lungs. In case after case we find in the lungs of perfectly healthy persons small tubercu- lar lesions which have healed, showing that they were able to combat the poison when attacked. But how about the time of low resistance? How can the citizen tell when that time may come to him or to his family? The magnificent crll- sade against tuberculosis is doing much to convince the individual or the necessi- ty of care against scattering contagion. towards the stamping out of the plague by steady constant struggle to achieve the cleanest possible street.
 In the dirt of the assembly hall, of the theatre, of the hotel and the railway car we find conditions in which the difficult ties which exist in the private house are fourfold multiplied. For hours the crowds of people in such places sit breathing the accumulated dust brought from the streets which, rising from the floor, floats in clouds into the air and settles heavily on the antiluated plush still in high favor for such places. It is but year or two ago that the newspapers considered brief ly the dangers of that bacterial paradise, the Pullman sleeping-car. A brief spasm of remonstrance passed over the country and disappeared as suddenly as 1t came The peril from such sources was, how eyer, recognized two decades ago by more than one, and a quotation concerning the presence of tuberculosis in such places from Dr. Mitchell Prudden, written al- most two decades ago, holds as true to- day:-
 "Sleeping ears and the state-rooms of steamships and hotel bedrooms are all most always liable to contain infectious material, if they have been recently used by uncleanly consumptives or those. ig- norant of the danger of their expectora- tion. When the infectious nature of con- sumption becomes generally appreciated, hotels and transportation companies over long routes will be compelled to provide special accommodations for such persons as are known to be thus affected"

Be a Farmer.

From Success Magazine.
 Now is the time to get nice farm and settle down. Farms are divided Into two kinds-the abandoned and those that want to be- Having secured your farm, proceed to settle on 1t as gracefully as possible To begin with. mortgage your property in town, and gather together all your available resources.
 Much can be done with an abandoned farm if one has money and courage enough. First: remove all the superflu- ous rocks. To do this start a rockery. Whenever, in walking over your farm, you notice a powder or so loafing around left over from the heartless old glacial period, with nothing on earth to do but gather moss, pick it up carelessly and add 1t to the rockery. After d while you will get into the habit. Then, in case you run out of resources, you can, with the muscle thus acquired, spend the rest ef your life in a museum, as a strong man.
 Second secure a respectable and even- tempered herd of kline. Kline are largely used to give milk and to furnish models for oil-paintings. You can also use them to drive to pasture. Driving herd of kline to pasture is not only splendid ex- ercise-better than gof-but 1t also adds to your sense of the beautiful.
 Third: keep on hand a stock of hens. These delightful companions will be a perpetual source of amusement and prof it. Accompany them with some chanu- cleers As long as they cheer you by their presence. you need no alarm clock There are of course, many other joys to a farm, which will naturally occur to ] every one: the old germ-laden bucket, 1 the green collie apple orchard, the mala- ria duck-pond, the hired man who sleeps in the haymow, and the artistic leaks in the roof where the sun comes peeping in at mormon bright days.
 But the best thing about a farm is the rest you get After you've fed the hens, tucked up the kline, sawed wood un- hitched old Dobbin, and locked up after the hired man. you can lie down on your lignum-vitae bed and sleep right through until nearly A. M.

has had the destructive hand of Father Time laid upon him. and his dark locks have been turned to silvery whlteness- in spots. He is at present city secretary and treasurer of Shelbyville, Tenn, and retains that jolly disposition he possessed when he was the Baby of Forests Es- eort." Galloway returned to Salisbury, Hardeman county, after the war, and settled within half mile of where he was born. There he has prospered as a farmer and has grown to a tall, strong man, of rugged frame, but erect as grenadier, standing six feet two inches in his stockings and shows no parttou- lar signs of age, except such as any hard working farmer would exhibit after many years of active farm life. He knew Russ was in Tennessee, but had never seen him, although each had re- ceived one letter from the other.
 Visiting the Masonic library during the meeting of the grand bodies, Galloway, on looking over the register. saw Russ name. He immediately went up to the lodge room, walked in, closely scrutinized every face. and at last saw the features of the boy who. 39 years before, snatehed him from the jaws of death and gave him life and freedom. Going out into the ante-room, he had the grand sentinel call Russ out of the chapter room, and when he came Galloway found that he had faithfully remembered the features of the Baby of Forests Escort
 Then. of course, the incidents of that fearful night were recounted by the two old soldiers and each gave the other a history of what happened after Gal loway's escape The writer, through a friend, met the two, and had the story told for his edifcation. It is here given to the public. It is no fairy tale, but an actual incident of the war. When Gall loway was asked how he could remember the face of Russ so we'll he remarked that the features of his preserver were burned into his very soul, and that he could never forget him. He added, T hope that boy shall never want for any thing and I have told my wife that, if I die before she does she must share her last crust with him if he needs it, and you can safely bet that she will cheer fully do so.''
 Both are Masons, and this serves to cement the bond cf friendship between them. Galloway belongs to Berlin Lodge No. TO, at Salisbury, and Cal Street brother of the man Galloway killed petitioned the lodge, was elected and received the degrees. Street after ward took the chapter degrees in Sauls- bury Chapter No. 153, and later Galloway petitioned for the degrees and was elect ed They are firm friends, but the killing has never been mentioned between them, and probably never will be.
 Shortly after Galloway had returned to Saujsb after the war, some of Major Streets friends went quietly to work to have him tried by civil author- ties for the killing of Street. Of course, county officers, and it coming to the ears of the sheriff. he put an eternal quietus to it, saying, Boys, Bob Gallo way has more friends in this county than
