Hydrophobia er Inaanltyl
Newark physicians are puzzled to
diagnose tho disease from whloh John
Wilkinson, » oar driver, living In Rose
ville, la suffering. He was taken 111
several days ago au4 manifested all the
symptoms of hydrophobia. He snapped
and snarled and growled like an ugly
dog, but evinoea no aversion to water |
when it was offered to him he bit tt
dipper, but drank Its contents, and froi
this fact it la inferred that bia disease is
not hydrophobia, but a form of Insanity.
He creeps on his bands and knees, and
to keep him from attaoklng other per
sons and things with his teeth a cane ia
given him to gnaw. As he rolls it be
tween his teeth he growls and snarls
like a dog disappointed at finding no
meat on a bone that had been served to
It. When Dr. Titus went to the bouse
to prescribe for him he found a chair
against tbe door, and was obliged to
climb In through tbe window. As the
doctor raised the sash Wilkin, a sprang
io ferooltv ol a blood
hound, barking and snarling, and tried
to bito him. The physioian seized him
by tho hair, and hela him until he had
put tho sufferer iu a straight-jacket.
Wilkinson's friends say he was bitten by
a dog when young, and insist that he
has hydrophobia, notwithstanding thi
judgment of tbe physioian to the con
trary. Dr. Titus believes that the
patient has been readingof hydrophobia,
and that the symptoms nro due to the
effeot of tho reading on his mind. He
is in a precarious condition. His fat hot
was insane whon lie died.—N. Y. Times.
Meat Bread.
M. Scheurer-ICentner has discovered
the remarkable fact that tho fermentation
of bread onuses the complete digestion
of meat. Ho found that beefsteak cut
into Bmull pieces, nnd mixed with flour
nud yeast, disappeared entirely during
the process of panifienlion, its nutritive
principles becoming incorporated with
the bread. Tho meat would also appear
capable of preservation for an indefinite
period in its now state, for loaves of moat
bread mode in 1873 wore submitted to
tho French Academy of Science, when
not a trace of worms or mouldiness was
observable. At the beginning of ltis ex
periments, M. Seheurcr-ICestner used raw
meat, three parts of which, finely minced,
ho mixed with five parts of flour and the
same quantity of yeast. Sufficient water
was added to mako the dough, which iu
duo time liegan to ferment. Alter two or
three hours the meat disappeared, and
the bread was baked in the ordinary
manner. Thus prepared, tho meat bread
hod a disagreeable taste, which wns
avoided by cooking the meat for au hour
with sufficient water to afterwards moisten
tho flour. Tho meat must bo carfully
deprived of fat, and only have sufficient
salt to bring out the flavor, as salt by
absorbing moisture from tho air would
tend to spoil tho bread. A part of the
beef may be replaced with advantage by
salt lard, wliioh is found to improve the
flavor. The proportion of meat to flour
should not exceed one-half, so as to insure
complete digestion. Bread made with a
suitable proportion of veal is said to
furnish excellent soup for the sick and
wounded.—Eaulieh Mechanic.

Jtroan Ai.t.ison, of Phlludolphia, has
held that under tho law of Ponnsylvauia
a sale of goods by sample does not
amount to a warranty that the arlloln

in quality with tho sample. Ho says
tho risk is that of tho purchaser, who
must “bowaro of tho Roller” iu all suoh
pnrohosns. Hut ho ndds that wlioro "a
B ampie is made the standard of quality,
an implication "of warranty arisos, as
where the buyer orders goods of the
sane quality as tho sample or the seller
undertakes to deliver them of the same
quality." Inasmuch as all tho grain sold
in hulk nnd uoarly all the merchandise
of tho country is sold by sample and
can he trnded in with expedition in no
other way, it might be well to hold the
sellers to a stricter responsibility than is
implied in Judge Allison’s decision.
