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. The Singular Occurrence that Attended the Exhuming of a Corpse. York Title. 8. C., Enquirer. On Friday last thero was an occurrence In the cemetery at this place the like of which, pernsps, was never known before. In 1875 Mr. James A. Watson, of Clover, whose family then resided in Yorkville. lost a chilli,"aged three or four yearn, by death. At that time Mr. Watson wee liv ing in Baltimore, a teacher in the Bryant- Kadler Commercial College, and he conld not conveniently leave hie business to at tend the faneral, and in his absence only 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 w hich died and was buried daring the fath er's ut sence, prompted Mr. Wntson to ask Mr. JuI.bjs to remove the lid covering tli.. i-:, panel over the face. The li-l was unscrewed and re in, a. <1, all three standing near, but, ob- serving a film on the surface of the glass, .Mr. Watson requested Dr, Allison to pro cure some material for cleaning it off. The Doctor went to .1 residence near by for some cloth for this purpose, and while he was in L tin, house an explosion of gas maned, ■liati$ .in" thegbu s, which was a quarter of an inch tin - into numberless fragments, several sidl ing Mr. Watson in the 7—?*. cutting it -cveri-ly. One pie<struck the bridge of the nose; cutting entirely thp.ugh it A f»w pitce* of the vi.c-T also struck Mr. Jeffery*, but he was not seriously hurt fhe casket had been out of the mound several minutes when the explosion occurred, which was the result of the expansion by the warmth of the sun of the gas formed in it Tho report of the explosion was equal to that of a dynamite cartridge and was noticed by persons on Maine street, more than a quarter of a mile distant The face of the child was in excellent preserva tion, as were also its burial clothes, and a wreath of dowers on the breast seemed to be nenriy as fresh tut when buried twelve and a half years ago.

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 sat an "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 nate 'bout havin’ children. There's my sister, Jane Ann, for instance, she's been married ns long ns yon or mo, an' she ain't never had no children, an’—" 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, Klopr.l With Her Minister.

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 sonville, Ills.; John Hurd, Joseph A. Joyce, F. C, Nichols, Bridgeport, Conn.; Newton Savings Bank, Newton, Conn.; M. 8. O’Keefe & Cc., Marshall, Mich. Cheek is 52 years old, is married and his wife is now lying ut the point of death, but she does 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 tern parties. In his desk the following was found: "I am s thief, scoundrel, knave And liar.” [Signed] Silas E.

It was quite likely the new boy would ■how up iu the backyard during the after noon, and so after school seven boys headed that way. The new boy had only been seen from a distance. Was he tansy? No one could answer. Would ho tight! No one conld tell. He must be tried! It was the solemn duty of every boy In that neighbor hood to make this important discovery at the earliest possible moment.

It was tho new boy, and there was "subs' in his tones. "None o' yer hiziness!” It was ono of the eeven who answered. “Git off'n that fence!” “We won’t!" “Isay git off!” “Sb'an't do it!” The new boy stooped for bis tomatoes, but when he rained up tbe seven heads were E one.
