A Curious Musical Box.

In the South Kensington Museum
in London is curious musical box.
1t was originally the property of Tipu
Cor Tippoo) Sahib, the "Tiger of My
Sore" who died in 1893, being killed
during the British assault and capture
of Seringapatam, the capital of My
sore. He always hated the British,
and to show his enmity he had this
instrument constructed. The box is
a life-sized statuary group showing
the symbolic tiger of India at the
throat of England, represented by a
British officer. When Tipu wished to
amuse his court, one of his attendants
turned handle, when the tiger
emitted horrible growls and the man
raised and lowered his arms and ut
tered terrifying shrieks. Inside the
tiger are four rows of pipes and set
of ivory keys, which are either of
French or British manufacture.-Ch

Rabies.

The mad dog" season begins with
the warm weather, to continue as
long as heat, dust, noise and neglect
strain the nerves of dogs and men.
A homeless cur, kicked by cruel or
thoughtless boy, runs barking
through the street. A child is bitten,
and the panic-stricLen bystanders
assure it that hydrophobia will de-
velop. If their victim is sufficiently
impressionable9 its death follows, and
another mad dog scare is well un-
der way.
Just at present Staten Island is in
1ulging in one of these unreasonable
and dangerous rights, with the aid
and assistance of certain health au-
thorities. The alarm of the people is
not to be wondered at, but the fact
remains that physicians disagree as
to the existence of the disease rabies,
while men acquainted with dogs are
almost unanimous in declaring that
no such thing as the mad dog" of
popular imagination ever existed.
Mr.. Freer, of the Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty to Animals, asserts
that in fourteen years the agents of
the society have been bitten not less
than $4,000 times, and that not once
have the symptoms of rabies fol-
lowed.
Wounds caused by animals are not
more dangerous than wounds result
ing from falls or blows. They should
be cleaned promptly and thoroughly
cauterized or rendered aseptic in
some other way, and kept clean while
healing. If these precautions were
always taken, and people would stor
talking about rabies, the mad dog
season" would soon cease to occupy
an important space in the calendar

Time Table Humor.

Up to the present time there has
been somewhat straitlaced avoid

official announcements of railway

dulness. Something in one of the

this tradition is breaking down. II
