WOMEN IN ACIENT ROME.
HYDROPHOBIA AND FRIGHT.
Matrons Who Were Not to Be Trifled
With—A Case of Wholesale Poisoning.
The Roman records show that it was
not safe to trifle with the feelings of Ro
man women. They were. Like Roman
men, possessed of great decision of
character, and when provoked could do
the most daring deeds, reckless of the
consequences. If they were treated
kindly and on equal terms, they were the
best of wives, and I am convinced that
their goodness and firmness were the
most effectual causes of the freedom
which they attained. But if husbands
put into force their traditional power
and claimed supreme domination over
them they were exactly the women to
resist. And the history of Rome throws
a lurid light on this aspect of their char
acter; for occasionally they took stern
and wild vengeance when husbands went
too far in then- despotic actions. I will
adduce one or two instances of this:
In the year 331 B. C. many of the
Roman citizens, and especially many of
the Roman nobles, were attacked by an
unknown disease, which showed the same
symptoms in all, and nearly all perished.
The cause was wrapt in obscurity, but
at length a maid servant went to a curule
sedile and said she could explain the
origin of the disease, but would not do
so unless security were given her that
she would suffer no harm in consequence.
The curule rndile brought the matter be
fore the consuls, the consuls consulted
the senate, and a resolution was passed
guaranteeing safety to the maid servant.
Whereupon she declared that the deaths
arose from poison; that the matrons were
in the habit of compounding drugs, and
she could take the officials to a house in
which they would come upon the matrons
while engaged in the operation.
The officials accepted her offer, fol
lowed her and found, as she had said,
the matrons compounding drugs. About
twenty of them were conveyed to the
Forum, and were subjected to an ex
amination on their doings. Two of them,
of noble family and with patrician names,
Cornelia and Sergia, affirmed that the
drugs were perfectly wholesome. That
could easily be tested, and the two
matrons were requested to prove their
truthfulness by drinking the mixt
ure. The two matrons begged for
a few moments of private talk
with the rest of their associates, but
within sight of the people. Permis
sion was granted, a few words were ex
changed, and then all of the twenty
matrons came back, boldly quaffed the
liquor, and died in consequence. Then
a search was made for ail the matrons
who had been engaged in this conspiracy
and 170 were found guilty. The men
explained the occurrence by asserting
that the women were infatuated; but
probably they knew well why recourse
was had to such violent measures, and
that Roman matrons were not likely to
be subjected to tyranny without making
an effort in one way or another to put
an end to it.
An occurrence of a similar nature took
place in ISO B. C. In this case there can
scarcely be a doubt that a real plague
raged, for it lasted for three years and
decimated Italy. But the women were
enraged with the men for the harsh
measures which had been taken against
them in connection with the Baccha
nalian mysteries, and they seem to have
regarded the plague as affording a favor
able opportunity for the use of poison.
In 180 B. C. the praetor, the consul and
many other illustrious men died. A
judge was appointed to inquire into
these .deaths, and especially to examine if
poison had been employed. The histori
ans do not relate theresulLs of this inves
tigation, but we are told that the wife of
the consul was tried and condemned to
death.
Thirty-six years after this two men of
consular rank were poisoned by then-
wives. In subsequent times the use of
poison became frequent; and particu
larly in the early days of the empire the
matrons about the court were accused of
having constant recourse to it to get out
of the way men whom they did not Like,
husbands and sons and others connected
with them, as well as strangers. And
one writer remarks that wherever there
were irregularities there were poisonings.
Some historians have rejected these tales
of poisoning as the inventions of credu
lous annalists, I think, without good rea
son. But whether the stories are true
or false the Romans believed them, and
they embody the Roman belief in regard
to what women could do. And it seems
to me that we must regard them as indi
cating that the Roman matrons felt
sometimes that they were badly treated,
that they ought not to endure the bad
treatment, and that they ought to take
the only means that they possessed of
expressing their feelings ami wreaking
then- vengeance by employing poison. —
Principal Donaldson, LL. D., in Contem
porary Review.
But Not Quito Done For.
Speaking of curious advertising, they
tell that a certain fashionable pastor was
taken in, but not quite done for, by a
manufacturer of a patent medicine. It
seems that he does not very carefully ex
amine the requests for announcements
sent to him until he stands up to read
them in the pulpit They usually consist
of notices of prayer meetings, social
gatherings and other matters relating to
the congregation, but along with them
are always communications from other
churches, and these commonly consist of
printed circulars. After reading out a
number, a few Sundays ago, the minister
started with a neatly printed page that
began with a scriptural quotation about
longevity, and proceeded with an argu
ment in favor of the possibility and duty
of attaining old age. He is a good elo
cutionist, and he delivered a paragraph
in good style. Then he furtively glanced
down toward the bottom of the page and
found that the reading matter led into an
advertisement. He made the discovery
in time to save himself, although he had
to stop awkwardly, and his hearers were
at a loss to knew why he did not finish.

Deaths .ItTriboted to the Former Really
Caused by the Latter.
The principal event in the convention
of the State Medical association was the
discussion over the existence of hydro
phobia The debate was interesting and
valuable, and while there was a great
.inference of opinion on certain points,
all agreed that the public were unneces
sarily scared over hydrophobia; that
even alleged cases were of great rarity,
and that in the majority of cases in
which death resulted from a dog’s bite
hydrophobia was not the cause of death.
All the popular symptoms of hydropho
bia were shown to be common to many
forms of convulsions tetanic and convul
sions resulting from hysteria.
Dr C. W. Dulles, who had been ap
pointed by the society to investigate hy
drophobia, read his report for the year.
Pasteur's methods, he said, were not at
tracting the same attention they did a
year or so ago, and are in a fair way to
die out. Pasteur had only treated 306
cases the previous year, he 6aid, where
he had formerly treated 300 a month.
Pasteur’s method had no effect in de
creasing the mortality of those who fall
into terror over hydrophobia. Pasteur
knew nothing erf hydrophobia. In the
last year there had been fifteen cases in
this country of alleged hydrophobia. He
specified several cases, one being the case
of a man who dreamed he died of hydro
phobia, and on awakening was taken
with convulsions through fright and
died.
“The fear is worse than the bite,” said
Dr. Dulles, “for not one of the animals
in the cases mentioned gave evidence
that they had the rabies. The living in
dread of death from hydrophobia is often
the cause of death. Too often the diag
nosis of the case is made by the laity and
confirmed by the doctor. There is noth
ing more senseless, more cruel, more cal- *
culated to cause death than the senseless
test of water.” Dr. Dulles spoke of the;
exaggeration of forcible restraint sup
posed to be necessary in hydrophobia
cases, and denounced the use of narcot-.
ics. “Hydrophobia is a misnomer,” he
said, “and is not a specific inoculable
disease. I do not deny people fall into a
certain state after being bitten by a mad
dog, but I do deny that the 6tate is pro
duced by canine virus. Fright and,
other factors throw the patient into a
‘condition,’ not into a disease. Wher
ever there is little talk there is little j
disease. Hydrophobia was unknown in
Pennsylvania this last year, and belief in
it will follow the fate of the belief in
witchcraft. ”
Dr. Shakspeare, of this city, dissented
from the opinions of Dr. Dulles, and said
he spoke only from the standpoint of a
medical antiquarian and a clinician, and
did not speak from laboratory knowl
edge. Dr. Shakspeare held that the
teachings of laboratory experiments were
in favor of belief in hydrophobia beyond
the power of controversy. He said the
work there proved the existence of rabies
as an infectious disease in the animal
kingdom, and the strong probability was
that it was infectious in man as well as
in the lower animals, for the same symp
toms were observed in both. The as
sumption that man is an exception to the
rule that hydrophobia is infectious, he
said, was arrant nonsense.
Dr. Traill Green, who is almost 80
years old, made a strong speech, treating
hydrophobia as a myth. “This state is
not so prevalent as people believe, ” he
said. “Mad dogs are rare, very rare.
In all my experience I have never had a
case, and those I heard of and inqmred
into turned out to be humbugs. I want
to see the people delivered from this
scare. It’s a wonder we live at all;
we’re so afraid of everything. People
die of the fright, and it is a doctor’s
business to keep his patients from being
scared. ”
Dr. Rahter, of Harrisburg, gave the
case of a young girl which he considered
a real case of hydrophobia. Dr. C. K.
Mills said the so called hydrophobia
symptoms could be explained in other
ways as a resultant from other diseases.
The convulsions might result from the
tearing by a sharp instrument, and would
be of the nature of lockjaw. He said:
‘We ought to do all we can to relieve
the public of fear.” Dr. Frank Wood
bury said he considered it a settled thing
that, hydrophobia and rabies did exist,
but that they were rare diseases. Most
people die of fright, he said, especially
young women.
. Dr. Green said that Dr. Dulles was
doing a good work. “The fear is broad
cast,” he said, “in every one’s mind.
Even councils show their fear by passing
ordinances to muzzle dogs in the summer
time when there are fewer cases of al
leged rabies than at any other time. I
don’t want the people to be scared, and
I say such action is nonsense.”
Dr. Dulles concluded the debate. He
said that there was too much dictation
from the laboratory. He did not deny
that rabies may be propagated, but said
such propagation was wholly artificial.
“I do not deny that there is such a dis
ease as rabies, but that disease is marked
by a desire for quiet, rest, repose and
water, while the alleged symptoms of
hydrophobia in man are just the oppo
site. ”—Philadelphia Presa

Red the Favorite Color.
It is a curious circumstance that red,
the unseen color of so many, is the favor
ite color, and may be called the king
color, of the normal eye. It was espe
cially so in ancient times. If we exam
ine the Bible we shall find that the He
brews scarcely ever use color as an epi
thet, as we do when we say “the blue
sky,” “the purple hills.” They say, in
deed, “the Red sea;” but blue is scarcely
mentioned as seen in nature, only in the
“blue and purple and scarlet” of the
tabernacle hangings, or the high priest’s
robes, or the pavement of the king’s
palace of “red and blue and black and
white marble,” in the Book of Esther.
Y’ellow, excepting as a sign of disease, is
mentioned but once or twice; “her
feathers like yellow gold.” But red is
largely si>oken of as in later times, and
perhaps as incorrectly, for we did not
invent, we only inherit, the expressions,
“red gold,” “red wine,” one cf these
being merely orange, and the other a
ruddy purple. “Red hair" is a modern,
or rather mediaeval, inaccuracy; “red
cow” we got from the ancients. These
epithets all appear to show a certain
fancy for calling things red as the more
kingly and costly color.—Good Words.
A WOMAN ON CREMATION.
Bhe Believes a Higher Civilization Will
Abolish Grave Yards.
II lias been the custom to attribute
to women a sentimental conservatism
regarding reforms in our methods of
burial, which has retarded, hitherto,
the movement in favor of cremation.
Their antagonism, it is claimed, is not
based upon any hygienic or economic
views entertained by them, but to dis
inclination to interfere with usage.
Custom is the fetich which the masses
of women are charged with worship
ing, and undoubtedly the accusation
is true of the order of women who are
swayed by emotion and whose judg
ment has not been trained by educa
tion and enlarged opportunities. Many
women of the higher type have given
the subject no thought; others secretly
approve it, but keep silence through
(head of shocking the prejudices of
those about them. Some American
women—from dispassionate contem
plation of the subject—are earnest ad
vocates of cremation as a necessity of
the age, made manifest by injury to
the public health through the over
crowding of grave yards adjacent to
laro-e cities.
Justice to the living will ultimately
be the factor which will lead the ma
jority to accept the conclusions of the
minority regarding cremation. But
bight ideas will not prevail univer
sally until the costly show grounds—
now held in veneration—are proven to
be pest places. Then sanitary influ
ences will overpower the sentimental
ignorance which continues the coloniz
ing of corpses in graveyards which are
already within the limits of our cities.
A higher civilization than ours will be
ashamed of the vulgar and ostentatious
display manifested in the name of the
helpless dead. Cremation, by increas
ing our respect for our fellow beings,
will mitigate this evil, and it will cor
rect another of which Americans seem
to enjoy a monopoly—that of travel
ing corpses over the country to the
discomfort and humiliation of the liv
ing. Surely it is debasing to our ideas
of this immortality of the spirit to pay
such honors as we do to lifeless flesh,
even though it be clothed for a brief
space in the likeness of a loved one.
Could we he induced to reflect how
brief a space it is in which the body
remains as we put it away, most as
suredly we should prefer its speedy
dissolution by incineration. When a
human body is no longer animated by
the life giving principle that individu
alized it, is it not merciful to swiftly
resolve it to dust by the purifying ele
ment of Are? So claim many who
consider our burial customs heathen
ish and utterly inconsistent with our
ethical, spiritual and sanitary views.
So think the women who herein as
sume the responsibility of uniting to
gether in the interests of enlightened
public sentiment in a symposium on
cremation.—Laura C. Holloway in The
Epoch.
Tlic Dreams of a Hasheesh Smoker.
Science describes the experiences of
a gentleman who placed himself under
the influence of hasheesh. He smoked
it until he felt a profound sense of
well being, and then put the pipe aside.
After a few minutes he seemed to be
come two persons; he was conscious of
his real self reclining on a lounge and
of why he was there; his double was
in a vast building of gold and marble,
splendidly brilliant, and beautiful be
yond all description. He felt an ex
treme gratification, and believed him
self in heaven. This double person
ality suddenly vanished, but reap
peared in a few minutes. His real
self was undergoing rhythmical
spasms throughout his body; the
double was a marvelous instrument,
producing sounds of exquisite sweet
ness and perfect rhythm. Then sleep
ensued, and all ended. Upon another
occasion sleep and waking came and
went so rapidly that they seemed to be
confused. His double seemed to be
the sea, bright and tossing as the wind
blew, then a continent. Again he
smoked a double dose and sat at his
table, pencil in hand, to record the
effects. He lost all conception of time.
He rose to open a door and it seemed
to take a million years. He went to
pacify an angry dog, and endless ages
seemed to have passed when he re
turned. Conceptions of space retained
their normal character. He felt an
unusual fullness of mental impressions
—enough to fill volumes. He under
stood clairvoyance, hypnotism and all
else. He was not one man or two, but
several men living at the same time in
different places, with different occu
pations. He could not write one word
without hurrying to the next, his
thoughts flowing with enormous rap
idity. The few words he did write
meant nothing.
Grease for the Boots.
Dr. Alexander Zoroastroff, of Be-
lostok, emphatically recommends to
all military men, sportsmen, and
others, a grease for boots which is
Eaid to entirely prevent sore feet, and
so protects pedestrians from the whole
tram of familiar affections caused by
that minor accident. The ointment is
made of four parts of lard, four parts
of olive oil and one part of caoutchouc
(raw rubber), which are melted together
on a slow Are. Having moistened the
sole of the boot with water, the inven
tor warms the boot in a stove or before
a fire, and then smears it over with the
compound. The boot is said to become
soft, pliable, ’shining, waterproof and
even more durable.—Frank Leslie’s.
SITTING ON THE STYLE.
I’m sitting on the style, Mary,
That you've maintained before,
It’s too, too tendencies, my love,
Have cramped my shekel’s store.
Those annual bills from Worth, Mary,
My check book quite uproots,
Besides the lace and gloves, Mary,
The twenty button boots.
The diamonds you affect, Mary,
Quite extirpate my pile,
And so I'm sitting down, Mary,
Upon your reckless style.

Died for Want of Water.
In the Australian bush more people
perish from the lack of that necessary
article, water, than from any other
cause. In consequence of the almost
waterless condition of some of the
tracks in the remote interior of Aus
tralia, numbers of men who perhaps
have simply depended on the water
bag they carry in their hands, or the
chance of obtaining a drink from some
other traveler they might meet on the
way, finally become exhausted, and
having managed to stagger into the
bed of some dry but shady creek, have
lain down there and perished, to be
found some day and buried by a chance
stockman passing that way, or perhaps
never discovered at all.
Many men go out into the Austra
lian bush who are never heard of again.
Having no news from them their friends
at home advertise in some of the Aus
tralian papers, or place the matter in
the hands of a colonial inquiry agent,
but no trace can be found of poor
Tom or Bill, and those interested in
him come to the conclusion that per
haps he has migrated to some other
country. So he has, and in the far off
corner of the Australian bush his
bones lie bleaching in a quiet nook,
where they may be discovered some
day by a stockman or police trooper
who chances to drop upon them.
The writer himself assisted last year
to bury three men who had perished
for want of water on the Cooper’s
creek.—Harper’s Bazar.
Coal OU Johnny’s Bootblack.
On the Oil Creek flats between Titus
ville and Oil City is situated the famous
farm that proved to be such a mine of
wealth to John Steele, or “Coal Oil
Johnny,” as he was better known.
The wonderful wells that spouted their
streams of wealth into the lap of the
giddy youth ceased to flow many years
ago, and the farm was long considered
valueless for oil purposes. With the
later improved methods of producing
oil, however, the old place is being re
claimed and is once more figuring
among the valuable oil farms of the
region. It is now owned by J. W.
Wait, who was a street urchin at
Rouseville, a mile from the farm,
when “Coal Oil Johnny” was in the
zenith of his wild career. As a boy,
young Wait frequently blacked
Johnny Steele’s boots, or held his
team, and received for the service any
where from $5 to §50, whatever hap
pened to suit the whim of the spend
thrift, who believed there was no end
to his suddenly acquired riches. II
was not many years till “Coal Oil
Johnny” was a laborer, working for a
dollar a day. There are about a dozen
new wells drilled on the place, and
every one of them is profitable. The
place will make young Wait a rich
man. He has been operating the prop
erty about a year and values it at §60,-
000. Ho has a production of 1,600 bar
rels a month.—Philadelphia Press.
Tobacco Growing In Germany.
The amount of tobacco grown in
Germany of late years has been con
siderable. The effect upon American
trade has been felt to some extent.
The German production in 1886-S7 was
84,S77,000 pounds, while the average
production for fifteen years has been
89,364,000 pounds annually. Poor
crop conditions in 18S6-87 caused a
falling off in production. The West
ern Tobacco Journal says that, to the
great body of the American trade, it is
a revelation that so much tobacco is
grown in Germany, and will explain
to them the dullness in late years in
the German export business.

boiling water above first ring
from the bottom, leaving the
funnel in the pot with the
spout opposite the handle.
Replace the strainer, put in
the necessary amount of cof

coffee will be ready for use.
If the water flows too freely
draw the pot to a cooler place
on the stove. The strainer
can be easily replaced by any
housekeeper at trifling ccst.
By taking out the funnel and
