ANNI0USLI AWAIT REPORT
FROM CAPTAIN DOGGET

Capitol officials are anNious!y await
ing for the report from Captain Dog
eett. which is expected To arrive at
any moment.
The island is situated about ten or
fifteen miles from Onancock. In the
upper part OF the bay. and Is inhabited
by several hundred people engaged in
trucking and fishing.
The bay has hacn frozen sufficiently
to obstruct traffic since the first OF
the year. ana il is thought that tho
inha bitants furnished themselves with
only meaEcr supply of these life
necessities. Consequently fearful
situation is anticipated to develop from
the investigation.
The matter was brought to the at
tcntion of Governor Davis by the post
master OF the town of onancoCk. who
said that no mG.;l communications Ia d
been carried Oh between the islanders
and Onancock for several weeks. and
that he had reason To believe that the
most alarming conditions existed on
the island.

The popular opinion seems to be
that bite from rabid dog I'm every
instance causes hydrophobia in man.
The figure, however, has been placed
at 40 per cent of those not receiving
Pasteur treatment according to u med
ical Journal. A man or dog suffering
with rabies never RECEIVERS, the NOR
tality being 100 per cent. The period
of incubation is very indefinite, vary
Ing from n few weeks to several years.
The average period In dogs is about
forty days. The trea' nent discovered
by Pasteur which is very eflicaclous,
requires about fifteen days to induce
an active immunity to the disease. All
wounds produced by bites OF animals
should be cauterized at once, especial

Where Men EmbroIder.

Embroidery might be called the
household industry of Japan, and IL
is an industry-or an art, perhaps one
would better say-that has been hand
ed down In the same families for many
generations. Men, as we'll as women,
are engaged I'm the work, which In
done in the homes or I'm small shops
where they have few apprentices,
usually from three to ten, and n num-
Der of skilled embrolderers. The ma
jority of the workers are men who
have been trained as apprentices to
produce the finer grade Of wrok which
is demanded by the japanese people.
There are probably about $500 In all
now engaged in this industry, accord
ing to recent estimate. Women do
embroidery at home In some parts OF
japan. This is done by the piece-work
system, upon which payment is based.
The contractors supply their workers
with the materials needed, although
sometimes the wholesale dealer at
tends to this directly.

Lutte Out Of Existence.

The lutte has vanished. IL was one
of the oldest of instruments, and had
beautiful vibrant tone somewhat like
that Of the harp. But Its size and
complexity were against 1t. 1t had
long tail and many strings, and while
lis size increased its power and range,
it also increased its weight and made
IL cumbrous. The minstrel of today
plays on the mandolin, the guitar or
the banjo-and the lutte is forgot.
