OLD POLISH cusToM REVIVED
Imposing but Somewhat Extravaaant
Idea May Catch the Fancy Of
Fict<ie People of Paris.

Paris is threatened with the re-
yival of an old custom that was for
.merly in vogue in Poland. When
the lord of a castle invited his
friends to dine in his baronial hall,
he emphasized his lavish hospitality
by throwing all the silver and plate
used on his table into the well filed
moat after the meal, thus assuring
his guests that they should never be
asked to eat again from the same
dishes.
The modern adaptation of this
fantastic lordly within is to invite
ones guests to sit down at a table
wherein nothing but the flowers. the
table decoration and the napkins
NAV be seen. AS soon as the guests
are seated bevy of servants, pre-
sumably one for each guest, bring in
the plates, glasses, knives and forks,
etc.
Of course this could only be done
with very large staff of servants,
directed by butler who was a gen.
Jus. If somewhat troublesome and
rather odd, it would, no doubt, be
very imposing; but it is a novelty
which can never take the place of the
studied elegance and refinement of a
table that has been arranged before
hand with care and art

Although the germ Of rabies has not
been demonstrated, 1t IL generally con-
coded the disease has a specific germ.
Rabies never occurs In the human
spontaneously, but always by inocula-
tion. It Is also moderately well dem
onstrated that dogs and other animals
likewise contract the disease through
incubation. Many more male than
female dogs 80 mad. The given
for this is that male dogs fight among
themselves, but a male seldom bites q
female. The proportion IL seven mad
males to one mad female. Contrary
to popular belief, rabies 10 more COM

tropics or the arctic region and In

winter.
The only sure preventive thus far
found for rabies Is thorough muzzling.
which is another proof that the dis
ease has It's origin in incubation.
There is a disease called lyssophobia
which closely resembles hydrophobia
and is brought on by nervous dread.
1t has been contended by some that
there is really no difference between
these diseases and that hydrophobia is
imaginary. This claim is refuted by
the fact that animals and very young
children, knowing neither imagination,
dread or fear, do succumb to a disease
exhibiting the unmistakable symptoms
Of hydrophobia.
These symptoms are. first. q fear of
water, from which the disease derives
it's name; then the muscles stifen and
an attempt to drink water brings on
commissions; next the mere sight of
water is sufficient to bring on a recur-

I'M MIGRATION LAWS
SHOULD BE CHANGED

Seattle, Wash, July Radical
changes in the immigration laws of
the United States were demanded to-
day by speakers before the sectional
meetings of the Fortieth National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
ton which convened here uly 5. De-
'clarations that the present laws are
letting in hordes of immigrants who
can never be assimilated by this
country were freely made by speak
ers. An important feature of today's
meetings was an address by Charles
w. Blanpied, of the Pacific Coast
Immigration congress, who has just
completed a special survey of Pacific
coast conditions relative to defects in
the immigration laws. One of the del
egates to the conference today de-
clared that advocates of a protective
tariff are foolish to preach that doc
trine and then refuse to fight for an
immigration protective tariff that
@ill keep hordes of foreigners from
coming in to the country to replace
American workers at pauper wages. "
1t was confidently predicted that the
conference would pass resolutions de-
manding action by congress tending
toward remedying present evils in the
Immigration laws.
