HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques-

ing deficit of $50, 900. 900, more or less,

at the end of the present fiscal year
two months hence, a resume of just
exactly what it costs to run the Unit
ed States government in one year, to-
gether with some facts concerning
the existing sources of revenue is
interesting
The only basis of such information,
II detailed and accurate figures are to
be given. is obviously to be found
in the reports covering the fiscal year
which ended on June 80, 1908 In
that year the receipts and disburse-
ments of the government were as fol-
lows:
Receipts from all sources lex
Disbursements exclusive of

The two great sources of income
are, of course, the customs duties and
the internal revenue taxes. For that
fiscal year the government received

1881. I'll, 1850 in internal revenue
taxes Thus more than five-sixths IF
the total revenue is received from
these two sources.
An analysis of the internal revenue
receipts shows that $40. 15S, SO7 was
received from the tax on spirits; $4e,-
S62.754 from the tax on tobacco, and
$50 .S07 GIT from the tax on fermented
liquors. The tax on oleomargarine
netted 1854, 304, and the small tax of
two cents a pack on playing cards
brought in s459.6S0.
Other Sources of Revenue.
The other sources of governmental
revenue are of great number and in
finite variety. although the amounts
derived are comparatively small
In the last fiscal year the sale of
public lands netted s9.731 $50, and the
profits on coinage, bullion deposits,
etc, amounted to 11.223, 1862. These
are the two large items of income

Afirn1s Mad Stone Is a Fake

The absurdity of going a week later
to some remote part of the country
and applying the mad stone with 2
view of its absorbing the poison is
too evident to be worthy of further
comment
About 20 per cent of the persons
bitten by dogs actually rabid will de-
velop the disease, if they have not
received treatment About 80 per
cent of the dogs bitten will develop
the disease. All warm blooded ami
mails are liable to this disease or may
take it by incubation. The bite of a
rabid wolf or coyote is said to be
very dangerous
Without going into a discussion of
the subject at this time here are a
few things well worth remembering:
Rabid dogs are not afraid of water
(hydrophobia). Paralysis of the lower
jaw and the hind legs gradually de-
velops. Beware of the dog that ap-
pears to have a bone in it's throat
it may be rabies. The eyes in this
disease are very sensitive to light:
hence the dog usually crawls under
the porch or some other dark place
Skunks are subject to the disease and
when so affected do not hesitate TO
enter houses and bite people
If bitten by a suspicious acting dog.
cauterize the wound at once, but do
not kill the dog. If the dog develops
rabies within five days. the person
bitten should start for treatment.
Don't get nervous and go into hys-
t-rics. even though you are sure you
have been bitten by a mad dog You
will have plenty of time to take treat
ment before the disease develops If
you start at once. Rabies is only
transmitted by the bite of a rabid ami

Writer Discusses That and Other SUI
perstitions in Connection
with Hydrophobia.

Rabies when affecting human beings
is called hydrophobia. AS this disease
has caused a considerable consterna-
ton in several sections of the coun-
try recently, few comments in this
connection may not be amiss-
First, let us see about some of the
superstitions associated with this d.
sease. When a person has been bit
ten by a mad dog the killing OF the
dog does not prevent hydrophobia in
the person bitten This is a joke and,
strange as it may seem, has been
taken seriously by many people who
should know better. Better lock up
the dog for few days and see If the
disease develops. In case the disease
does not develop the person bitten
need have no further anxiety. If the
disease develops in the dog, the per-
son will then have plenty of time to
go to the Pasteur institute and take
treatment, which will positively pre-
vent the disease from developing
Again. the common belief that a
mad dog will run with MS tail between
his legs, and froth at the mouth is a
mistake The mad dog carries his
tail in quite a natural position, and
while the mouth may be open from
paralysis of the lower jaw, yet he
can not truly be said to froth at the
mouth. The mad stone is a fake, pure
and simple 1t is nothing but piece
of porous stone Qike soap stone)
which when dried and then placed on
a moist surface will absorb water or
blood or anything of fluid nature.
After a person is bitten by a mad
dog the germs of the disease are
very soon absorbed into the system.
