Spread of Rabies Cause for Alarm.


Rabies, one of the most dreadful
diseases known to medical science, is
increasing in Wisconsin. This is
positively shown by the increasing
number of heads of mad dogs exam
ined at the state hygienic laboratory
and the increasing number of pa
tents treated at the Pasteur insti-
tute at Madison. The disease is in
creasing, it is believed, because the
most common medium Of spreading it
the homeless dog-is increasing.
Experience has proven that one of
the best ways to stamp out the dread
disease is by killing off the homeless
ours and muzzling the other dogs
for a period of three months or more
whenever there is reason to suspect
that they have been exposed to the
bite of any animal affected with the
disease.
The state hygienic laboratory has
had an unusually large number of
heads of dogs suspected of having
had the rabies sent to it for examina-
t. during the last four months
The number exceeds 100. The Pas
teur institute has treated 40 patients
so far this year, which is an average
of ten a month
This is an average OF one more a
month than was treated last year
Since the institute was established in
November, 1909, 166 cases have been
treated. Only one case resulted fatal
ly, that being little Indian girl Of
the Oneida reservation, who was
treated last year. There were three
other deaths from hydrophobia in the
state last year, but they were rot
treated at the institute.

MAMMOTH CAVE PUBLICITY
Why Interest and Number of Visitor.

Havo Fallen OFF.

In the year 1874 an average, Of 90

than IL. And in those 60 years the
population OF the United States has
grown from twenty millions to eighty
millions and the transportation facili-
ties had been wonderfully increased.
Why this falling Off In interest and!
numbers? The Mammoth cave is still
there and, the stalagmite chair In
which theA famous Jenny Lind sat is
still pointed out by the guides. But
the visitors sgo elsewhere. And when
we look for' a cause for this lack of
appreciation we find it to consist in
this: The Mammoth cave no longer

LARGELY MATTER OF FAITH
Proof of Authenticity Of Relies, Re.
Iigious or Historical, in Most
Cases Impossible.

The authenticity of relics. religious
or historical, must in many cases be
largely matter of faith; proof is
often lacking, often indeed impossible
to procure. The number of couches

been slept in by good Queen Bess"
Shown in manor houses Is legion and
the same may be said of many other
historical heirlooms the real history

tiqutty How many pairs of gloves
were given by King Charles as keep
sakes on the day of his execution?
There are quite number Of claimants
for the honor. One pair has recently
been the cause Of a law suit, and 1t
was said In the course of the trial
that they were given by the king to
Bishop Juxon on the scaffold There
Is yet another pair which has had
far stranger history than most Stuart
relics, which have indeed little his
tory, but quiet passing from genera
ton to generation in English country
houses They were sent by King
Charles on the day Of execution by
trusty hand to Speaker Lenthall ''for
amity's sake Only one Of the pair
now survives, the other was burned
in a bush fire in Australia. The
precious gloves had gone there when
the Lenthalls awhile ago left their
homes and their lands and had, with
Charles lis pardon of Lenthall been
cherished in many wanderings in Au-
stralia. The surviving glove and the
pardon are now back in England, be
cause happily the Lenthalls are back.
1t Is quite likely that King Charles
gave away several pairs of gloves, for
gloves then were costly things-cities
gave them to visiting sovereigns
where now addresses or gold boxes
are given. But in the days of the
Stuarts gloves were costly enough at
my rate to carry sentiment, even a
dng's sentiment.

DOCTORS FEE In JAPAN
Physician Receives Present of az
Much as Patient Can
Afford.

A Japanese doctor never dreams of
asking poor patient for fee There
Is proverb among the medical frater-
nity in Japan: When the twin enc
mics poverty and disease invade q
home, then he who takes aught from
that home, even If it be given him. is a
robber."
"Often," remarked a recent lecturer
on Life in Japan" "a doctor will not
only give his time and medicine free
to the sufferer but he will also give
him money to tide over his dire neces-
sites. Every physician is his own dis
penser, and there are very few apothe-
carries shops in the empire.
when even a rich man calls in a
doctor he does not expect that he will
receive bill for medical services; In
lact no such thing as doctors bill is
known in Japan although nearly all
modern practices are in vogue there.
The strict honesty of the people does
not make it necessary for the doctor
to ask fee. When he has finished his
visits to the patient present is made
to him, just as much as the patient
can afford. The doctor smiles, bows.
thanks his patient, and the transaction
Is settled.

The green rose and the black rose
