HINTS A BOUT HYDROPHOBIA.
'Sow Ma.l Docs Betray Tlictr Madness—
Treatment of Wounds.
Iondon Truth.
Ail thero cun be no donbt that hydro-
wihobia has been moat exceptionally preva
lent in England, and more especially in
Xiondon, during this year, I felt it might be
m matter of interest to my readers to know
a little about thia much-dreaded disease; bo
I have oonar.lted an expert—Mr. A. J.
8ewell, the well-known dog doctor of Eliz
abeth afreet, Eaton square—on the matter,
and he has given me some interesting par
ticulars.
Hr. Sewell admits that he has never
known rabies to be so prevalent among
dogs as it is at tlia present time, he himself
having seen a matter of sixty or seventy
eases since January last, whereas in 1884
he hud only about a dozen cases. A gr< at
deal of this increase is due to the dUgrn :e
fnl folly and wicked carelessness of the
owners of dogs that happen to he affected
Rabies does not come on suddenly, and if
owners would pay a little more attention to
the signs that precede an attack the disease
would not bo transferred, as it is at present,
from one dog to several others; nor, wlmt
is far worse, to individuals.
Rabies is liable to attack dogs of any
breed or sex, though statistics seem to show
that it is more common among malts thou
femides.
During the whole time that these syro p-
toms are developing themselves the dog
will still remain under his master's or mis
tress's control, and will, to a certain extent,
obey orders, although, perhaps, not 10
cheerfully as usuul—a fact which is, I ex
pect, responsible for owners so often scorn
ing the idea that their pet animal is a vic
tim to rabies.
The dumb or pandytio rabies is recogniz
able by the lower jaw dropping considera
bly and by the mouth being continually
open, V'hcn suffering from this form of
disease the animal is notqnito so ferocious;
still, his saliva is as deadly as in the cuso of
the ordinary rabies. The idea that rabid
dogs fear water is altogether fallacious.
They have no such fear, but at the com
mencement of the attack drink large quan
tities, though they are not nhle to do so in
the later stages in consequence of the throat
being so greatly affected.
With regard to tho early symptoms, ar
animal that has the diseaie iuvnrially loses
its appetite; and though t'uis is common to
the majority of complaints, it shonld not
be ignored, but should act as a warning to
owners to watch for other symptoms, v Mcb,
in the case of rabies, speedily devel- .p.
The dog's manner changes; he shows dis
position to hide himnslf in corne r un
der chairs; in fact, anywhere, so is to get
out of sight. Then he will never rest in
one placo for long together, but is con
tinually changing his position, and uppears
to be constantly on the watch, liis bark,
too, is altered, anil without provo
cation he will at times ' give
tongue to a dismal short howl, or to what
would perhaps he better described as half a
howl and half a bark. He will gnaw at
. anything that comes in his way. If he be
in a room he will bite at the chair lega or
the carpet or at a tablecloth; and if in a
kennel he will attack tho corners of it. He
will also attempt to masticate stones, and
will readily consume straw and filth of any
kind. Another early symptom is a disposi
tion to bite other dogs -in fact, a rabid an
imal will unhesitatingly attack a dog or a
cot with which he may have lived for years
on the most intimate terms.
It seems that rabies is more prevalent in
the spring and antnuin, and not, as is gen
erally supposed, in the summer months.
IVlien an animal shows symptoms of the
disease it should be at once securely chained
up, as, although it is practically harmless iu
tho early stages to those whom it knows, it
is not to with strangers. It often occurs
that a veterinary surgeon is sent for to see a
dog that is ailing, anil on his arrivul he is
shown in by himself to a room where the
animal is loose and can pounco out upon
him at any moment. Such conduct on the
part of owners is unpardonable. Mr. Sew
ell believes that tho universal use of the
muzzle would act most favorably in the way
of lessening tho nnrnber of cases, and he
says it is astonishing how soon dogs become
accustomed to this head-gear, provided that
a proper one be nsed.
In the event of a person being unfertu-
nato enough to be bitten by a rabid dog the
wound ihould be immediately washed by
allowinga stream of water to run on it from
a tap. The place should then be-provided
the person has no sore on the lips or ton
gue —well sacked, and afterwards caustic
should be applied. Suction shonld never be
relied upon alone. There is a difference of
opinion between medical men as to which
is the best cautery—some recommend one
kind and others another. Tho nitrate of
silver in the form of the pencil is very ef
fectual for superficial woundaand scratches,
bat for a deep puncture the free spplie.ir
tion of nitric acid is the best, as it is fa-
more penetrating,
ilut it is needless to say that prevention
is far better than cure, and it is for this
reason that I have detailed the various
symptoms that point to rabies, with the
hope that owners of dogs will not hesitate
to at once send for a veterinary surgeon
shonld they seo the slightest sign of their
animals developing either of or all of them.
Let them, too, remember that a dog bitten
by one that has rabies is almost certain to
.have the disease—perhaps about three per
-cent escape—so that he should be at once
killed.
A COFFIN EXPLODES.

Kadler Commercial College, and he conld
not conveniently leave hie business to at

temporary bnrial was given Urn
body, awaiting his return home
to secure a permanent burial lot in the
.cemetery. This was not practicable until
recently, on the extension of the cemetery
grounds, since which time he baa bought a
lot, and on last Friday, in company with
Mr. J. Ed. Jefforya anil Dr. J.Tl. Allison,he
went into the cemetenr to remove the body
to his lot. The burial case, a Fisk metallic,
was raised from the grove, anil a natural
desire to look upon the face of the child

Travelers' Mazarine.
“Now remember, Charley, wo arc to do
nothing bridal," said a somewhat elderly
bride to her husband, as they bearded the
train. “1 should dio of mortification if 1
should be taken for a bride. Te he!"
"All right,” said Charley, "I’ll be care
ful."
Later on Charley wanted to smoke, and
ho entered the smoking enr for that pur
pose.
In

"doing* far?” she inquired, tickling the
bride's ear with her breath.
“To Montreal. Te, he!” simpered the
bride.
"Travelin’ for pleasure?”
“Yes, ma'am. Te, he!”
"Is that man who has gone to smoke
your husband?”
“Yes. Te, he!”
"Leave the children to home?”
"What's that?" demanded the bride.
“Don’t you bring the children?”
/Wo have no children, ma'am.”
“No children?" repented the old lady,
compassionately. "P'r’aps they are dead?”
"Er—we've never tail—er any chil
dren,” the bride answered, beginning to
get n little mad.
’Never had no children? I’ve had aoven,
an' they’re all growed up an’ married. Chil
dren is a great comfort when they're well
brought up. But some people is unfortu

sister, Jane Ann, for instance, she's been

Just here the husband returned from the
smoking car, and, as he took his seat, the
bride laid her head convulsively on liis
shoulder and whispered:
“I guess it's no use, Charley; I’m sure
everybody will take us for a bridal couple,
no matter what we ilo.” And during the
rest of their wedding journey the bride
took precious care that everybody did.
UXRKGKNKUATK ST. LOUIS.
Evangelist Sam .Tones Falls to Redeem the
Wtekcd City. •
St. Louts Special.
Sam Jones and Sam Small, tho evange
lists, closed their campaign here this morn
ing. It would be superfluous to speculate
as to whether Jones's work here was a
failure or not. He has admitted that it
was repeatedly in the lust ten days, and
those who know the man know that he
would not inuke such a confession unless
he believed it. His success in St Joseph
and Atlauta bad mode many believe tliat lie
was going to effect the same astonishing
results here. It wus pointed out to the
over sanguine that all tho evan
gelists save Harrison had met
their Waterloo in 8t. Louis, and
that it was hut natural to expect Sam
Jones to do the some. But it was argued
that his methods were so dissimilar from
all others; his humor and wit so bright; his
eauilor was so great anil his courage so fear
less that he could not foil to surpnss even
the record of the ltov. Thomas Harrison,
the boy preacher. A comparison between
tho latest revivalist and his predecessor,
however, reflects no small credit on tho
beamless brother who was alleged to hare
discovered the fountain of perpetnal youth.
Harrison numbered 1,300 converts, it was
claimed, and he never counted a man ob a
convert who did not come up to tho altar
rail and give his name and address to one
of the secretaries, Jones's most ardont ad
mirers do not claim more than fifXI converts
for him.
FOR BRIDAL AND DEATH.
A Kerchief That the Tyrol Woman Wears
Only Twice,
Texas Siftings.
In some portions of tho Tyrol a peculiar
and beautiful custom still prevails. When
a girl is about to bo married, beforu she
leates her home to go to the church, her
mother hands her a kerchief, which is culled
a tear kerchief. It is mode of newly spun
linen, and has never boon used. It U with
this kerchief that sho dries ln-r teats when
■he leaves her lathei’s bouse, and while she
stands at the altar.
After the marriage is over and the bride
has gone with her husband to their own
new home, she folds np the kerchief nod
places it nnwashed in her linen closet, where
it remains untouched. The tear kercheif
has only performed half of its minion.
Children are bom, grow up, marry and move
away from the old home. Each daughter
receives from the mother a new tear ker
chief. Her own still remains where it
was placed in the linen closet on the day of
the marriage. Generations come and go.
Tho yonng may bride hat become a wrinkled
old woman. She may have survived her
husb&n I and all of her children. All her
friends may have died off, and still that
lost present which she received from her
mother has not fnlfiUcd its object. But it
comes at last At last the weary eyelids
close for the long, ion" sleep, and the tired
wrinkled hands are folded over the pulse
less heart. Then the tear kereheif is taken
from its place and spread over the placid fea
tures of the dead, never to be removed nn-
til we ore summoned to come forth on the
resurrection mom,

St. Louts, December 25.—Information
comes from Clinton, Mo., that Silas E.
Cheek, a prominent real estate agent of that
place, is a defaulter for over one hundred
thousand dollars. Thontniost confidence
was placed in his integrity until recently,
nnd the banks hail him creditod far beyond
his menus and honored his drafts for large
amounts. About two weeks ago F. C.
Nichols, of Bridgeport, Con., arrived in
j Clinton to look after a mortgage on proper
ty belonging to Orton B. Join s. He dis
covered the name on the mortgage to be
fictitious and the mortgage a forgery.
Cheek bad forged the name
of the recorder to the bogus
mortgage, anil defrauded him out of S7.300.
To save himself Cheek gave a deed of trust
on his property for the amount, and the
same day gave another deed of trust to
snven friend who had advanced him money.
He then left for Canada, and has not been
heard from since. His manner of obtain
ing money was to forgo names to bogus
deeds ot trust, nnd imprint the recorder's
seal upon the documents, which he could
easily do, as he hail access to the recorder's
office at all times. The deeds thus ap-
peering all right, he bad no trouble in
obtaining money on them. As these
papers are not recorded, it is
impossible to tell who are defrauded, but
the following parties have been heard from:
Central Illiuois Financial Agency, Jack

F. C, Nichols, Bridgeport, Conn.; Newton

not know of her husband’s wrong doings.
He owns property worth about $30,000
which will be attached by creditors, but no
other legal action has been taken. His
books show he has lonned $171,000 for eas
