SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
How to Know When Your Dog ls
 Really Mad.

Really Mad.
 Hydrophobia is in reality so rare and 50 terrifying that its symptoms and treatment are little understood. As a matter of fact, the commonly accepted expression of madness in dog is of ten 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. It does not run ,amuck, snapping at everything in It's path. What. then, are the indica tions of the mad dog? To those famil- far with a 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, says Caspar Whitney in the July Outing, and if ip 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 day or two for ferocious instincts to develop. The unmistakable evidence, however, of dog with rabies is the bticky, whitish saliva which covers the teeth and shows on the drawn lips. The eyes glare and are red; the dog pas paroxysms of running fury. during which it barks hoarsely, which alter pate with periods of temporary exhaus- hon

Cost of Courtesy.

The adage Courtesy costs nothing" would if true offer sufficient reason to insure it's observance by practically every member of the commercial con- munity, 1t being fairly obvious to most of US that courtesy is an excellent lubricant for the machinery in busi- ness. To be always courteous in busi- ness. however. requires a very consid- ernble expenditure of mental effort. which very few of us are capable of sustaining at all times.-Magazine of Commerce.

OLD CLOTHES IN AFRICA.
The Natives Often Make Dreadful
 Mistakes With European Attire,

Mistakes With European Attire. The ''or clo' man" is familiar figure in American streets and one by no means without picturesqueness. but no American dealer in old clothes has es. tablished business of such extent of interest as that of John Hyman of Lon don, whose speciality is to purchase showy costumes and discarded military and official uniforms for disposal in the orient and Africa. -- ,-, .... !. Even the retiring lord mayors of Lon- don have become almost by official tra- dition his customers, and the cooked hat, gold laced coat and knee brooches at which during one season London has gazed with awe in the famous pageant Of the lord mayors procession are likely the next season to delight the eyes of darkest Africa upon the proud person of darkest African.
 T have visited most of the great oriental bazars and watched our goods being purchased" says Mir. Lyman. q have seen blacks solemnly walking around with waistcoats buttoned be- hind instead of before and even men wearing ladies' costumes. I have seen enormously big fellows in clothes so small could not imagine for the life of me how they got into them or how they could get out again unless the stitching gave way"
 The Prince de Joinville when off the Gabun coast once received on his ship an official visit from two chiefs, father and son, who must. one would think, have been NIT. Hyman's customers. They were known as Big Denis and Little Denis. and each owned for cere- monial occasions military uniform.
 That of Big Denis was a French gen. erals, which his wives managed to get him into. That of Little Denis was hussar's. and its intricate cut, numer- ous buttons, straps and buckles and painfully small size proved quite too much for him. He sent the prince a despairing message begging help, and a relief party of delighted midshipmen was sent to dress him and bring him aboard.
 They fulfilled their errand; but, with the mischievousness of their kind, they so frightened every fastening of his overnight attire that the poor youth was nearly bursting with combined pride and suffocation when he arrived, and it was evident he could never be got out of his unwonted finery by any method less drastic than cutting him out.
 Still, no manner of wearing a com plete costume ever equals in comic ef- feet some of the savages' combinations of unrelated items. One venerable Af- rican chieftain received his European guests with an antiquated evening shoulder cape of pink lowered satin and spangles worn about his waist as an apron, while his white wool was martially crowned by a military hel- met. ...
 Still another conducted important negotiations with an exploring party clad simply and impressively in a lady's large Gainsborough hat, d pair of cavalry boots and a necklace of glistening tin ornaments used to dec crate Christmas trees.-Youth's Con- panion.

How to Remove Peach Stains.

This is a remedy for obstinate peach stains on linen. says a writer in Good Housekeeping. Place a tablespoonful of sulphur on a plate. add a few drops of pure alcohol and ignite. Over this place a tin funnel Wet the stain and hold over the small opening in the fun nel. Allow the sulphur fumes to come fin contact with every particle of the stain. The action is a quick chemical bleaching. which is egective for any stain on white goods Be sure to rinse the material immediately and thor oughly in weak ammonia water. then launder as usual.

The Devils Aovoeate.

In connection with the Roman Cath ollie ceremony of canonization there is an official called "the devils advocate" When the church is ready to proceed with the steps preliminary to the can onization, an able man is appointed to assail the memory of the candidate and to bring against him all possible charges. which the other side must satisfactorily dispose of. This accuser is known as the devils advocate" and not until be is silenced by the dis proof of his charges can the canoniza- tion be accomplished.

I won't pursue the theme of what contributions Scotchmen should be able to make to Canada's litera- ture and science, for the very simple reason which was given by a friend of mine, who said.

Now to Prsserve Einaer Nails.

Before working in the garden. polish ing the stove or doing other rough work rub your finger nails over a piece of soap. This will prevent the earth from getting in under the nails. and when you wash your hands the soap will come out easily. This is recom- mendet to people who find it hard to do garden work with gloves on their hands

Lonc Necked BeIIes,

Eastern standards of beauty differ. like the customs. from those of the west In Malacca. we are told. the small waist and velvet eyes do not count. but instead the length of the neck is the criterion of beauty. The girl of Malacca at very early age is fitted with a metal collar. which compels her to keep her head erect. and as she grows the collar is increased ih size. and by this means the neck is gradually elongated.
