KING, : Village Resorde om Bitten by a Dog, She | Months Later.” t Miss Jennie B. Cimeigny alka of: ‘rab- fes at her home at Seventh and Bull streets yesterday morning about 2 .o’clock. Her sufferings. from spasms of the throat and larynx just before: her sible to do anything for her relief, says the Savannah (Ga.) News of March 23. Dec. 29 Miss Glatigny took her dog and went out. for a.walk toward Mr. Kies- ling’s place, a short distance from her home. When near there she saw two dogs, one of which attacked her dog; and when she took a stick to beat it off the other dog sprang at her and bit her through the right hand, between the thumb and forefinger. Miss Glat- igny went on to Mrs. Kiesling’s, where }some turpentiné was applied to the wound and after some days it healed up. On Jan, 12 it broke out again and Dr. Stanley was called. He pricked the hand and Jet out a small accumuta- tion of pus, after which it healed again and she took no further notice of it until Thursday, March 18, seventy-nine days after the bite, when, about 12 o’clock noon, she began to feel a pain in the hand, which ran up the arm, through the shoulder and down her side. She wus yery restless Friday night and in the morning and com- plained that: the pain kept annoying cher. - She was about the same Friday night and Saturday morning.about 10 o'clock she sent for ‘Dr. George H. Stone. When Dr. Stone called he found her @uffering from this pain, but there were’ no other symptoms and it ap- peared that she had taken cold: The pain was easijy relieved and it did not return. She had one choking spell and on the-return of Dr. Stone Sunday morning she complained that she had not slept through the night, though she had suffered no pain. She then showed signs of rabies in ‘her inability to swal- low and from then until 2 o’clock in the u»Drning, when she died, there was a constant succescion of spasms: when- ever she attempted to drink watér,. Al- though she wished for water eagerly, and would hold a giass of it/in her band for an hour at a time, while the sight of it did not seem di ble to her, yet when she attempted te swal- low it her effort would make the spasms of the throat still more: se and these kept-up continuously to the time of her death, nature being unable to endure longer the severe strains pro- duced. Miss Qlatigny. wags conscious to the time of ‘er death. She knew those about her and would talk when she had long enough reHef from the constantly recurring spasms of the throat to do so. Her case was accom- panied by all of the other symptoms | of rabies, such as extreme nervous irri- tability. Touching her nose at at- | tempting to.blow it: would bring on a | severe spasm, as. would also any | draught of air, no matter how slight On one occasion the suggestive treat- ment was tried and ‘she. was finally en- ab.ed to drink a glass of water through | the induced. belief that she. could do it. But this could not be kept up and more severe until death relieved her. Yesterday morning Dr. Stone and Drs. Graham. and Brunner held an autopsy for the purpose of making a thorough investigation of the case. There was no doubt in the minds of any of them that it was a true case of rabies. Tney took some of the virus and will culti- vate it and try its effect on some an- imal, such as a rabbit, for.the purpose of more thoroughly understanding the case. The German Emperor and Empress. 1 remembered that when;I dived in Berlin, when a child, Sunday was searcely observed in any “wily vy the Germans. The churches were well nigh empty. You. might“ have im- agined yourself in London upon ;. bank holiday, But the present empress’ is a woman of very firm religious princi- ples and William Il, however ¢hange- able he may be in other. tatters, is a rock where his .pious belief is con cerned. It has veen the dearest wish of both himself aud the empress to in- troduce the “‘Euglish Sunday” to the Ce:mans, and it is wonderful, indeed, how they have succeeded. The in- crease of belief is xemarkuble; the’ Ber- lin caurches are now attended by crowds and the clergymen, turmerly at a discount in society, are feted as if they weré the military. Both eraperor | and empress always attend divine ser vice in the morning. The preacher is forbidden, it is, true, to speak longer | than fifteen minutes and the congrega- tiou is warned against. “staring” at their majesties.. After church the royal couple entertain a few intimate friends at“luscheor. and before bed time tbe empress imparts some bible knowledge to her chfidren.+The Woman at Home. Writers of Books. lp a pretty large experience I have not found the men who write books superior in wit-or learning .to those who don’t write at all. In regard -of nicre information, nonwrite-s must oft- en be superior to writers. Yoe don't expect u lawyer in full practice to be ‘) conversant with all kinds of diterature; he is tov busy with bis law; aad sca writer is.commonly too busy. with -his own books to be able to bestow atteu- tion on the works of other peopie.— Thacheray. The Unlikely. “No,” sighed-the poster former as he gadly contemplated the poster cow, “I can’t say that I consider her a very likely animal, but'we all have our short- comings, I suppose.”—Letroii Journal death were terrible, and it was impos- | the spasms became more frequent and | We Bogan \ with @ Camp Stove Outfit and _ Wound Up with Camp Kettles From the New York Sun: “When- ever I see that picture illustrating the Bible story of the two men carrying a great bunch of grapes hanging from a pole resting on their shoulders,” said a civil war veteran, “it reminds me of the way we used to carry our camp kettles sometimes in the army on the march. We had, when we left our state, a stove for each company, de- signed for camp use. It was made of sheet fron, about five feet long by two high and a-foot and a half wide. It Was stayed inside with iron bands riv- eted to the shell, to keep it in shape. The boilers, to boil meat and things in; were shaped like square wash boilers, and when we moved, these, with the Test of the cooking outfit, went inside the stove to save room and for:con- venience in transportation. When the stove was packed in this way two men could lift it into the wagon, and there you- were, everything snug and com- plete. But while the stove with its outfit was a good thing, we never had but that one; it was like many another thing: that we had when we started out—some good and some not so good —when it was worn out its place was supplied with things of the regulation Kind. The steve was certainly con- venient, and it was all right when we had a wagon to carry it in, but it was on the whole rather an elaborate out- fit for actual service, and when it wore out, as it finally did, getting more and more battered and smashed up, we Grew in place of it and its boilers camp kettles; straight-sided kettles of heavy sheet iron. This was at about the time we got:settled down to rea} business, and camp kettles were what we had from that on until the end ct the war. We had three kettles thai nestled together so as to take up less room in transportation.. One was for coffee—that was the kettle most used— one for meat, aud one for vegetables. There were plenty of times when we had only one kettle in use, the meal consisting of hard bread and cOffee. Many another time we had use for only two kettles, cooking coffee in one and ! pork or salt horse in the other, When we had all three going at once it meant coffee, meat and potatoes all at one meal, and it was a sight agreeable to contemplate. When we were settled anywhere in camp the cook fire was at the inner end cf the company street and there was the cook tent, alse, where were kept whatever supplies wt had on hand, in the way of hard bread, sugar, salt and so on, and where the cook slept. In cooking the camp ket- tles were hung on a pole, whose ends rested on two. crotched sticks driven into the ground; the fire was built on the ground under the kettles. When we moved, if we had transportation, the kettles would go in a wagon; if we had no transportation, or were going on. some expedition where we didn’t take any, or there were wagons but not room for everything, then as likely “as not the cook and another man would tote the camp kettles hanging from the pole.used over the fire, or, if that was too heavy, from a lighter pole cut for the purpose.” COLLIDES WITH MOTORCYCLE. Fred Clark Nurses Bruises for Steering Between the Lights. Fred Clark, chief scorcher of a north side club, is nursing many bruises from sudden and unforeseen contact with a mysterious vehicle that masqueraded during the night as two bicycles. Fred was preparing for a club road race and sacrificed all his spare moments to the acquisition of tough muscles, He arose early in the morning and flitted through Lincoln park like some specter of the nightithat had overslept itself beneath the trees. Far out on Sheri- dan road the milkman would hear a peculiar swish noise, see a human form glide by him, and then all was still. Many times he had hailed the mysterious rider, but no word of greet- ing came back from the gliding figure. Clark was not content with the many hours of sunlight, but invaded the night. He would distribute three lamps of 1,000 candle power about the front ftame of the machine, attach two more behind, screw on a rasping horn to his handle bars and then cut the at- |. mosphere at a 2:02. gait. The incor- rigible.scorcher bisected the north side and bounded the limits of Tim Ryan’s pbaliwick. Strips om cement were miss- ing from the half-mile speedway at Garfield park, and the grass was singed where the scorcher had left his trail. Jackson boulevard was the site of Clark’s Waterloo. He sought to dis- appear about carriages and: other wheels and appear again unscathed without letting up his pace. One.night he saw two lights approaching him at a speedy clip. He marveled at the even distance between the two head- Mghts and with the precision of an ex- pert undertook to steer between them. There was a crash of bending tubing and a.stifled scream. Mr. Clark had run into a motor carriage. A Busy Minister's Wife. The lot of a minister’s wife is not always a bed of roses. Rev. William Alderman, pastor of the Methodist church at Pawnee, Okla,, has been seri- ously ill for several weeks, during which time his helpmeet has not only nursed him, but has conducted the church services. She has led the pray- er meetings, and has preached two ser- mons each Sunday, to the entire satis- faction of the congregation. 2 Old-Time Regulation’ of Dining, An act of parliament’ was passed in the reign of Edward -IIl., prohibiting anyone from being served at dinner or supper with more than two courses, except upon some great holidays there- in specified, on which‘ he: might be " perved with three dé as OVEN Far away out in the deep Pacific ocean exists a small strip of land which shows that it has a sweet little will of its own, for it will not undergo allegiance to any country. Govern- ments often experience considerable trouble in preserving the allegiance of people they have conquered, but as a rule a piece of property: or real es- tate has been looked upon as likely to remain in the.same place for a eorsiderable period of time. This lit- tle island, which has received the name of Falcon Island, proves an ex- ception to the rule, however. No soon- er has it been annexed than it disap- pears off the face of the globe, leav- ing only a dangerous reef to indicate its former whereabouts, and coming up in a few years’ time, when the country that has performed the annex- ation has given up all claim. Our old friend, John Bul?, always on the watch to increase his imperial empire, was the first to encountér it. In 1889 the British corvette Egeria was sent on a cruise among the South Sea Islands, with orders to setze upon any islands or coral reefs that had hitherto been unclaimed, and to take possession in the name of the queen. Cruising around she noted from afar off a prominent island, towards which she sailed. Tall palm trees were growing on its south- ern extremity, which was a command- ing bluff, rising 150 feet above the sea. Having received the report of this voy- age, the admiralty next year sent out a transport ship, with orders to make further discoveries and reports, What was the dismay of the captain of the Egeria, who happened to be in com- mand of the transport, on arriving at the place where he had the year be- fore left the island sporting the union jack, to find that it had disappeared from view. Instead of the beautiful “sland standing out so prominently from the ocean, was a low and dan- gereus coral reef with the sea beat- ing and surging up against it. Two years later France, also seized with the desire of annexing new territory, sent the cruiser Duchaffault to the Pa- cific. Cruising around she found her way to Falcon. There, instead of find- ing a sunken reef, whitened with the foam of the breakers, the vessel’s crew discovered an island the exact shape of the island found by the English corvette in 1889. ‘Scarcely two years had passed away when a brig sent out by France to revisit her possessions found her way to FalconvIsland. It had again disappeared, it being simply a reef dangerous to navigation, where- upon France was obliged to give up all’rights of possession——San Francis- co Chronicle. NO WONDER SHE KICKED, Ample Reason for Not Wishing to Re- move Her Picturesque Hat. Mrs. Falls Front had been the lead- ing spirit in the movement to call a meeting of women to protest against the theater regulations which call for the removal of women’s hats in the various New York temples of Thespis, She visited seventeen different ladies and urged them to attead; she pro- cured the use of a hall for the meeting and when the ladies came together she made no less than five speeches, de- claring that the removal of hats in the theater was an iniquitous innovation that the women of this great and glori- ous land of the free should rise up and crush. Her vehemence was so noticeable that after the iniquitous innovation had been duly crushed by weighty pre- ambles and resolutions several women who attended the meeting were won- dering why she threw so much spirit into the crusade. “She was so flerce in her denuncias tion of the hat-removal regulations,” said Mrs. Upton Howles. “I never saw her so much in earnest before.” “Yes?” said Mrs. Witlard Henderson, “Did she have any good reason for’ be- ing so ardent?” “Reason!” cried little Mrs. Gadsby Teller. “Did she have any reason? Well, rather! The first and only time she was compelled to remove” her hat in a theater her frizzes went, with it!” —Harper’s Eazar. SIN OF ISSION. Enthusiastic Lawyer Carried It Too : Far. “There is such a thing as overdoing your pam," declared a man of the law who now Has the knowledge gained by much experience.. “Shortly after I be- gan practice in the west I was called upon to derend a man who had drawn a revolver on another and threatened to kill him. The accused diu not have a@ character above reproach, but the 4 prosecuting witness also was shady in reputation and I made the most of this iaec. I pictured him as a desperado of the most dangerous type, a man that } was a constant menace to the commun- ity and one who would recognize no other law than that of force. Such men as he, I insisted, made necessary’ the organizction of vigilance commit- tees and injured the fair name of the west among the older communities of the country. The jury returned a ver- dict of guilty and my man was sen- tenced to a year’s imprisonment.

Moonshine. ~ ORIGIN: OF THE BICYCLE, ‘te May Bo Traced as Far Back as the Nineteenth Centurv. _ It has often been said that “to trace the origin of the bicycle we must go back to the beginning of the century;” and as this has not been denied it is probably true, I shall try to show that the bicycle grew from experi- ments in the fifteenth and sixteenth. centuries, and that the Celerifere, first invented in 1690, was the earliest form of the “safety” of today. The first at- tempts to ride ~wheels date back as far as the fifteenth century. True, the machines then made were crude, elumsy; and imperfect; yet they de- serve mention,’ for they were a dis- tinct step in the history of thg wheel. The first of these was a heavy carriage driven by means of ropes attached to and wound round its axletree. To the other end of the ropes a pole was tied, and this pole was used as a lever in front of the vehicle; and by this means it was slowly drawn forward. Little was done in the century following; yet in the “Memoirs of Henry Fether- stone” it is told that a Jesuit mission- ary named Ricius, who was traveling down the Ganges, having missed a boat that plied at regular intervals between Points he was to visit in his journey, made up for lost time by building a small carriage propelled by levers; Be- cause so few details are told, the truth of the author’s account has been doubt- ed or discredited by many. In one of England’s older churches—St. Giles’, at Stoke Pogis—is a window of stained glass on which may be seen a cherub astride of a hobby horse, or. wooden “wheel.” £.t the sides, in separate pan- els, as if to fix the date of the design, stand two young men attired in puri- tan dress, one playing the violin, the other, with hands in his pockets, smok- ing a pipe. Is it from this design that the first thought of the hobby horse of other days was taken? Before the Royal Academy of Sciences, in 1693, Ozanam read a paper describing a veha- cle driven by the pedaling of a fort- man, who stood in a box behind, and rested his hands ona bar, lével with his chin, attached to the back of an awning above the rider in the con- veyance, This may prove that Fether- stone’s account was not untrue Oza- nam’s vehicle was followed ky an- other, built on a somewhat similar plan, by an Englishman named Oven- den, about 1761, for a deser‘ption of the machine then appeared in the Uni- versal Magazine. The vehicle was said to be “the best that has hitherto been invented.” The distance covered “with ease” by this rude vehicle is stated to have been six miles an our; with a “peculiar exertion,” nine or ten miles. The steering was done with a pair of reins.—St. Nicholas, MOSQUITOES WHICH KILL BEAR a ae Yukon Insects Force Deer to Fice to the Snow Line. From the Denver Times: Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes attack men and overwhelm them, but they drive the moose, deer and caribou up the mountains to the snow line, where these animals would preter not to be in berry time. They kill dogs, and even the big brown bear, that is often miscalled a ‘grizzly, has succumbed: to them, Bears come down tothe river from the hillside in the early fall ta get some of the’salmon that are often thrown upon the banks when the “run” is heavy. If bruin runs foul of a swarm of mosquitoes and has not his wits about him his day has come. , The insects will allght all over him. His fur pro- tects his body, but his eyes, ears and nose will soon be swollen up and bleed- ing, and unless he gets into a river or a strong wind he will be driven mad and blind, to wander about hopelessly until: he starves to death. Although the Alaska’ summer is short, two broods of mosquitoes hatch out each year, and are ready for busi- ness from one to ten seconds after they leave the water. It rains a good deal along the Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for it drives the mosquitoes to cover. “They hide under leaves and branches ‘antil the shower is over; then they come out boiling with rage at the time they have been forced to spend in idleness, and the miner has a harder time than ever after his respite. Mosquitoes and snowflakes are not contemporaries in the states, but in Alaska, it is different. Snow does not bother them so much as rain, and an early snow may fall while they are still on the wing. Fog does not choke them, either. They appear to like it, They float about in it as in umbush, and take the unwary prospector hy sur- prise. Jules Verne. Jules Verne is an offic*r of the Legion of Honor. There aire many ethers who wear this distinction, and there is nothing noteworthy about thig fact except that the decree conferring tne honor upon him was signed only two hours before the fall ofthe em- pire.

Like many another successful man, Sir John Gordon Sprigg went to the Cape in his youth because he was too delicate to live comfortably:in Eng- land.
