Hart, V. M.D., a Government ecientist. The latter type is always seen in the ter minalstages of the former; and, when she cases are of the dumb form from the outses, {6 fs probable that the toxemia te overwhelming, and such ases usually run a more rapidly fatal course. In the furious type, following the varlable period of {ncubation, there {s first noticed a chauge tn the dis- postition of the animal, which should at once excite suspicion. Piayful animals become morose and quiet, reserved dogs may become unusually affectionate The animal is nervous and eusily excited, but obeys any -ommand of {6s owner. In thecourse of a day or two the nervous condi- sion Increases and the animal be- come irritable and may snap {ft ap- proached suddenly or startled. The bark becomes changed to a long drawn ous combination of a whine and a howl, impossible to describe, but never forgotten when once heard. Some dog owners speak of {t as being somewhat of the nature of the bark of afoxhound while in the hunt, but this does not properly describe it The animal, ff loose, may pick up and swallow straw, sticks, stones, leather and other foreign bodies, Iu some cases there 1s a tendency to bite parts of the skin, usually atthe point where the animal was bitten. This tendency to bite the skin Is probably dus to an intense localized pruritts. There iss marked tendency {a these early stuges for the animal to seek jules spote and to hide tn corners or dark places. If an attempt is made to remove the animal, the person is in great danger of being bitten. The restlessness of the animal become more marked. He may stand look- {ng intently {nto space as ff at an imaginary object. There ts difficulty in swallowing, and sallva may drib- ble from she mouth. The irritabilliy {increases until the animal becomes furtous, biting at a stick or other object thruss toward him. At this stage ff the animal {s not secured he may leave home and travel for miles. Daring the long journey he will fight with dogs and attack other animals in his path, but never barks or makes any outcry during these attacks. The animal may go 20 or 25 miles from home, but always returns, if not prevented, in an exhausted con- | dition, covered with wounds and dirt and greatly emaciated.

Some people are afraid of one thing and some are afraid of another. One man would go to war who would not go to sea. Another man delights in the ‘terrors of the deep’ who is afraid of lightning. I knew an English naval officer who was described as the ‘bravest man in the service.’ He was not only brave. He was & byword of recklessness wherev- er soldiers or sailors met. On one occasion, on a bet, he went upina ballon, agreeing to descend ina para- chute. He knew little or nothing about parachutes. When he was ready to come down he found that the ‘harness’ of the parachute, which was supposed to go under his arme, couldn't be disentangled. So heselz ed the bar of the parachute in his hands and dropped out of the basket. In Cuba he jotned one of our batter- fea at El Caney. Our men proceeded to bombard a Spanish blockhouse.

The shell burst with terrific explosion. Everybody thought that everybody else was killed. Out of the cloud of dust and splinters emerged the sallor man His face was red but only moderate- ly excited; his monocle was held tirm- ly In his eye; he was leaning forward, clapping his hands and shouting to anenemy some miles distant: ‘Well played sir.

But by some curlous chance he escaped and was heard to remark: ‘Extrordinary! The same thing happened to me at Omdurman.’ These and a hundred stories are told about his intrepidity and coolness in the presence of dan- ger. No doubt some of them are fables, but even the existence of many fables about a man’s gallant deeds is pretty good proof of his courage. I was talking about these stories one day with a man who knew him well. ‘Most of them are true,’ sald he, ‘but, do you know, I hever saw 6 greater coward fn {Illness thac—.

One of these mornings, when there has drifted over the fields a Presence, which the ancients called the Angel of the Raln—you awaken to find every orchard, every lilac bush, all the wild frult trees of the woods aflame with lights the color of 4 cataract in sunshine. The air fs be- witched with the perfume of a thous- end orchards, and when the bloom hangs in mid air like great flakes of snow shower, you can hear the hum ofan invading army—the bees har- vesting the first fruits of the year. Do plants feel? Do they see? Do they know? Else why did they wak- en to life just at day-dawn witha beauty like the incense of & morning sacrifice to a Sun God? Sclencecan’s answer that question. In fact, it took a long time to learn just at what moment the simplest things of the farm do bloom, like wheat for in- stance, whose tiny florets open tolife just at sun dawn; or to be accurate, in northern latitudes, between four and five. All sclence knows is that a something-in the sun compels and wooes and awakens a something in the slumbering life of the flower; and religion itself, can’t give & very much better explanation of human wor- ship. As I sald before, everything is doing something in spring, if it {s only the dumb worship of the flower world at day dawn.—From “The New Spirit of the Farm,” by Agnes C.

At that momentthe nomination of Frank Wymgn fora second term as Postmaster at St. Louls was sent to the Senate. The nomination, professedly at least, came as @ thunderclap out of a clear sky to Representatives Bartholds| and Caulfield, and to Senator War- ner, all of whom have registered their own as well as the protests of the St. Louls politician in general against Wyman’s renomination. Recruiting to Be Resumed. Washington, April 20.—Anticipat- ing favorable action by Congress on the proposition of 6,000 additional men for the navy, of whom 3,000 may be obtained prior to July 1, in- structions have been given by the Bureau of Navigation to resume re- crulting, which was suspended some weeks ago, at which time the full quota had been attained.

Farmers Kill 160 Snakes. Fairfield, Iil., April 20.—Farmers made a raid on “Rattlesnake Bloff,” on the Little Wabash River, a few miles northeast of Fairfield, and kill- ed more than 160 poisonous reptiles. A charge of dynamite was placed under the bluff and exploded, and the river was filled with dead snakes. Those that escape the blast were clubbed to death by hunters. The place has been infested with rattlesnakes for years, and many cattle, horses and other live stock have been killed by them. Several hunters who ventured too close to the blaff also have been bitten. Evans Quits Navy May 9. Washington, April 27.—Orders were issued at the Navy Department detaching Rear Admiral Charles M.

The first overflow of the smaller streams tributary to the Colorado River has begun to subside when heavy rains and a series of cloudbursts in the Brownwood and Coleman sections forced the Pecan Bayou and other streams out of thelr banks. Report says the flooded water of Pecan Bayou and the Colorado have met and that the towns of Elkins, Regency and Ebony have been swept away. The inhabitants of these towne narrowly escaped with their lives. Three deaths by drowning are reported from that section. Anoth- er man was drowned in the San An- tonto River.
