How To Know A Mad Dog.
Casper Whitney, in Outing.)

casper. Whitney, in Outing.)
Hydrophobia is in reality so rare and
SO terrifying that its symptoms and
treatment are little understood. AS a
matter of fact, the commonly accepted
expression of madness in q dog is often
misleading. The real mad dog does
not shun water, as it is said. On the
contrary, mad dogs often rush to the
water and drink eagerly, if they are
able to swallow. The mad dog does
not froth at the mouth. 1t does not
run amuck, swapping at everything in
its path. What, then, are the indica-
tions of the mad dog? To those fami-
liar with given dog the surest symp-
tom and the one which should excite
closest attention is distinct and un-
accountable change in the dogs dispo-
sition-a staid dog becoming excitable
and frisky one dull. That condition
does not necessarily mean rabies, but
it is suspicious, and if, in addition, the
dog has trouble in swalIowing-as
though it seemed to have bone in its
throat-beware. That dog should be
instantly tied up, because ifit be rabies
it takes but day or two for ferocious
instincts to develop. The unmistaka-
BILE evidence, however, of dog with
rabies is the sticky, whitish saliva
covers the teeth and shows on the
drawn lips. The eyes glare and are
red; the dog has paroxysms of running
fury, during which it barks hoarsely,
which alternate with periods of tenn
porary exhaustion.

Ignite FOR POWER FUEL

The United States Geological Survey
has been experimenting with the gas
producer and gas engine for several
years, and the tests in the gas produc-
er at the Government plant have shown
that many fuels of such low grade as
to be practically valueless for steam
furnace purposes, including slack coal,
bone coal and Ignite, may be economi-
cally converted into producer gas and
may thus generate sufficient gas power
to render them of high commercial val
ue. In this way Ignite beds underly-
ing from 20,000,000 to 30,000,0OO acres
of public lands, heretofore supposed to
have little or no commercial value, are
shown to have large value for power
development. This is of Importance to
the West, and makes possible great
industrial development there. The
Geological Survey recently issued a
bulletin on the "present status of the
pFoducer-gas engine"

wooING SLEEP.
A PRESCRIPTION THAT WORKED WELL
IN PHILADELPHIA.

A PRESCRIPTION THAT WORKED WELL
IN PHILADELPHIA.
A haggard looking man strolled into
q downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help. He
said he had trouble in getting to sleep
when he retired No matter how
sleepy he might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay thus
for several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at certain hour, and in consez
quence of his peculiar affiiction he was
losing more sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quizzically
few moments and then replied:
"My dear man, you don't want medi-
cine. What you want is something to
change the trend of your thoughts. Do
as friend of mine did. He was trou-
bled the same way and found that the
old folks plan of imaging sheep pass
ing barrier and counting them was
out of date, so he began trying to name
all the states in the Union. He soon
got them SO he could classify them
alphabetically. Then, when they no
longer interested him, he started on
the counties of his state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter. Now he is start
ing on state capitals and their loca-
tions. Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
wrong, and the beauty of the plan is
that he rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound sleep. To make it short;

ALLEGHANY TIMBER RESOURCES.

ALLEGHANY TIMBER RESOURCES.
Every year the production of timber
in Allegheny county is increasing. The
people of the county little realized how
great this source of wealth was until
outside parties began to develop it.
Scattered over the county, from one
end to the other, are large areas of tim
Der lands. Chestnut, oak and pine
abound in this section and if the lum-
Der business of the country continues
to develop as it has in the last three
years, great income will be realized
to the people OF this part of Virginia.
One great drawback at present, in con-
nection with the lumber business Of
the county, is the lack of good local
market. The conditions would justify
large investments being made in all
kinds of woodworking plants and fac
tories. Any factory that could use the
woods native to Allegheny county,
would find an abundance of-faw mate
rial within a short distance of the fac
tory if suitably located. The handling
of the lumber would be facilitated by
the proximity of the larger timber areas
to the rivers and streams in the county.
While great deal of timber has re-
Gently been cut in the surrounding
mountains, millions of feet of the best
timber, such as chestnut, oak and pine,
are still standing. One of the best tim
Der regions in this section is within a
radius of ten miles of COvingtOn, and
the excellent shipping facilities now
being furnished by the G. d o. on their
main line and branch line connectin G
at Covington, should do much towards
the development of the lumber indus
try in Allegheny county.

Where Does Labor Come In ?

A few short months ago, when Con-
gress was conducting so-called inves-
tigation of the Paper Trust at the in
stance of Speaker Cannon, the paper
manufacturers declared that not they
but their employees were the beneficial
ries of existing duties on wood pulp
and print paper and that, if the duties
were removed, present wage scales
could not be maintained. The duties
were left untouched. Nevertheless,
the International Paper Company,
commonly known as the Paper Trust,
has ordered ten per cent. reduction in
the pay of certain classes of its work.
men. The workmen refuse to accept
the reduction and general strike is
now on, thirty thousand men employ
ed in the company's various mills hav-
ing quit their jobs and walked out on
Monday morning. The union leaders
declare that the Paper Company has
been providing in advance for just such
contingency, by accumulating an im-
mense surplus stock. If this be true,
the mill-workers have to chose between
two horns of a dilemma. Either they
will have to go back to work at reduc-
ed wages or endure a protracted period
of idleness with no wages al all. In
either event, they may well wonder
where the benefits, which the manu-
facturers claim accrue to labor from the
protective duties on wood pulp and
print paper, come in. The duties are
not reduced, but wages are. Isn't it
about time Labor was waking up to
full and true knowledge Of tariff falia-
cies and ceased serving as a cat's-paw

can politicians ?-Norfolk Virginian-
