It has been early de monstrated as a' fallacy that rabid dogs dread the sight of water. It is only human beings in that condition who go into convulsions at the sight of water. A rabid dog Is thirsty. He would like to drink, but on attempt ing to do so his throat contracts ow ing to the paralysis of its muscles that is characteristic of the disease. If Tour dog approaches eagerly wheng you offer him water, puts his tongue to It but cannot swallow, and perhaps gags, has convulsions and froths at the mouth, then you had better have him at or.ee examined for rabies—being, -of course, extremely careful to allow none of Kill salive to careful to allow none of his saliva to Human beings afflicted with the disease, being n ore sensatlvo, more Imaginative and apprehensive, are thrown int»> convulsions at the mere sight of water—especially water, from a tap suddenijrturned on. An ticipating the act of drinking, the throat paralysis asserts Itself and the whole Infected nervous system is con vulsed. The favorite breeding place of the germs of rabies U the nerve centres. Ths original germs travel from the point of Infection through the Circu lation, infecting all the nerves of the body and besieging, as they multiply, the spinal cord and the nerve centres of the br%!n. As the disease progresses there is more and more paralysis of all the nerves and muscles.

Even slight, sudden draught of air has been known to throw an appll cant, for treatment into convulsions. A certain patient who complained of thlrat, but could take no water "suggested an experiment to one of the nurees. She divided a peeled or ange into small hits. One of these she offered to him. He opened his mouth to receive it, but the moment the moist object touched his lips his teeth Hosed with m- snap, it was signal from the paralyzed throat. In addition to the Indications refer- ed to, the eyes of rabies patients are enlarged and have a look of anxiety ■ sometimes of terror. Wherever there are nerves to actuate muscles the disease shows itself Infection with rabies is most dan gerous where the nerves are nearest the- surface. Communication to the spinal cord and brain is then quicker _„Jlfhen the face is the point of infec tion, mortality is 80 per cent.; hands and arm, 60 per cent.; the lower ex tremilitles, 30 per cent. Infection at the ends of the fingers is alse-par- ticularly unfortunate, owing to the centering of nerves there directly beneath the skin. Don’t place any reliance„on that hoary ‘‘madstone” superstitetion. The most approved "madstone” are figrous balls composed mostly of hair, ejected from the stomach of a horse or cow, or other hair-covered animal that scratches Itself with its tongue. -JRaturally, this fibrous mass will stick to a moist wouffth—but it is no more efficacious in removing germs of infection than a piece of blotting paper The characteristic manifestations of rabies are found in the large nerve cells, principally of the- brain. They are crimson colored bodies in those cells, which are never found except where rabies is well developed. This discovery was made known to the medical world in '1!M)3 by Negri, of the University of Pavla, Italy and name has been given to the little crimoon spots which the autopsy dis covers ip the nerve cells of victims of rabies, now known to medical science oa "Negri bodies." Long before this, in 1885, Pas teur recognised rabies as a germ dis ease and advocated the preventive serum treatment with which the name la identified. One year later the ori ginal Pasteur Institute was opened in Paris. From t)ua^-time until 1905, Inclusive, 29,261 persons had been treated at this institute. The success of the treatment was remarkable, after the preparation of the eerum and its administration had been reduced to a system. Mortality from the disease was reduced from t4 per cent during the first year to It per cent in 1902. Daring that period Pasteur institu tes for. the treatment of rabies were established la most of the large cities of the United States.

The stabbing of the priest caused a 1 liaftfc.aniong the men nnd women filing out of the church,, as practically all of them knew Schuette and the members of his familyi who were standing close by when the far mer whipped out his long knife. His wife and five children reached the door in time to see a dozen menoit-- ting on the raving man, trying to subdue him. It Is evident that the farmer became suddenly insane, as he had no reason for his attack on The pnest, and In addition h.id been acting queerly for a few days previ ous. , , The police of Salisbury also are convinced Schuette Is Insane. He has been raving almost constantly since he was locked up.. Later he was sent to a sanitarium until he recoversjils reason. - Attacked From Behind. The priest had finished his mass and had walked to the door of the church to shake hands with the monitors of his parish as they left the building. There were about 40» worshipers present and they were headed''toward the door In small groups. Father Lubley was shading hands with a woman when Schuette came up from behind. In his hand there was a sharp knife and Just as the priest dropped the hand of the woman he felt a sharp cut on the forehead- With an exclamation of pain Father Lubley turned around and as he did so the knife made a deep wound in his neck.

The value of the Pasteur treat ment is now so . firmly establishe’d that the antitoxin serum for rabies is available to every physician. It Is prepared in the laboratories of the health departments of most of the large cities. The serum Js obtained froin rab bits which have 1 died after being in oculated with the fixed virus of the disease. Their death occurs in from six to seven days. Their spinal cords, which contain the death-deal ing germs, are removed and dried in bell jars over sodium hydrate for fif teen days. This render the cord harmless. It is then crushed into powder and emulsified in a normal salt solution, and is ready for use as hypodermic injections in. the first stage of the treatment. The subsequent Injections are made with serum from cords that have been dried fourte*»n, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine days and so on. Finally, an emulsion of a cord dried only three days, which practi cally* all its virulence, is injected un der the patient’s skin, his system be ing now practically immume to the rabies germs.

That resolu tion was aimed to ascertain why the contracts sold" on the New York and New Orleans exchanges brought about such violent fluctuations in the pslce of cotton, and also to learn whether the members^of the exchang es, by combining among themselves, brought aboq^., depression in prices because, under the terms of the con tracts, they could deliver any one of thirty grades of coton. The charges, Whirrsem to be upheld, In part at least, by Mr. Smith, include the fol lowing: ' - “That New York City has ceased to be. a commercial spot cotton market, and that the New York Cotton Ex change, operating under Us present debased and fraudulent contracts, has developed into a purely specula tive or gambling exchange, and that the grades of cotton shipped to New York and tenderable on the contracts under the rules of the New York Cot ton Exchange cannot be used for commercial spinning purposes, and that such grades of co'tton are used solely to depress the price of splnn- ble grades in the South, to further the speculative features of the New York Cotton Exchange, to the heavy detriment of the entire legitimate cot ton frade of the United States,” The care with which Mr.— Smith fbollibes his findings seems to have been forcasted by Representative Burleson, who, in a leter to Mr. Jor dan on April 30, this year, wrote : ' "ftlo not believe that the President has any idea of making recommenda tions along the line on which I think legislation should be had. The report from the Bureau of Corporations on the resolution wrlten and Introduc ed by mw tom not yet been sent to tha House. I understand it Is In the hands of the President, and that' he Is holding It for som purpose. On Saturday I had adopted a resolution Introduced by me, directing that said report be sent to the Congress at ome. "Recently the Secretary of Com merce and Labor gave out an inter view, in which he stated that the President was not oposed to the legitimate cotton exchanges, but was -opposed to bucket shops, etc. I, too, am ooiHised to blicket shops, bu f I he injury to the cotton producer co ulr.c from bucket shop operations Is nil compared with the great hurt which is done him fcy operation on the so- called legitimate cotton exchanges." Mr. Smith in his report ind cates that ho win have much more to ray later on. \\ hat he gave oat for pub lication today was two parts—-dealing with cotton exchange methods of clas- flcat'.on of cotton and with the range of conti art grades. Subsequent parts, he says, will take up the effects of exchange nit* and other conditions upon the pice. In the report made public he nays: “So far as spinners are concerned, the | radical certainty of receiving seveial diffeient kinds of cotton on one contract makes it impossible for for them to buy^their cotoq on the exchanges*.' , “The contract must be broad enougn to iniuce general ‘ra^.ihg thereon, and thus furnish the broad market necessary to fulfil the true functions of an exchange.

ORIENTAL HORRORS NEW YORKER RELATES TERRI BLE ADVENTURES. 'o Sudden Death of a Companion. Mis lead Chinese Coolies and Imprison ment Without’Trial or Hearing. Three months In a mildewed Chinese dungeon, on false imprison ment, has cured L. C. Stewart, of New York city, of any desire to again return to the Oriental country. He is now in Denver, Col., recuperating. Here is his advice to young men who think they are anxious to seek ad- venturfpiif'lhe Far East: “T*he Orient is no place for a young man and I, woulji advise no one to go “there. Our-western ideas of mora lity and decency>re soon lost in that country. Most of the white people, including the women and even a few of the missionaries, take to drinking heavily in the Orient agd sefem un able to stop. A genera] laxity of morals—^results. In the quarters anything goes and you do anything you' csar^Ao do without lo& Ing caste so long as you do not make too much noise. It’s a good place to stay away from.” The Terrible Black Cholera. Mr. Stewart was a British collector of revenue with headquarters at Hong Kong. On one of his trips to the Interior he picked up an English man by the name of Charles Frank, was broke, and wanted to get out of the country. On the return trip they were riding together on the backs of coolies, states Mr. Stewart, when all of a sudden Frank screamed, and throwing his arms in the air fell on Stewart, the black vomit pouring from his mouth. Within 15 minu tes he wtjs dead-. “The coolies fled panic stricken at the sight,” relates Mr. Stewart, “but I covered two of them with my revolver and forced them to return We made a rough pine box and burl ed Frank, marking the spot with ston es. Then, with my two coolies, I started for Rangoon, expecting that I myself would lie stricken any mo ment. The coolies knew the black Vjmlt had fallen upon me and were afraid to come near me. To my sur prise I was not stricken and reach ed Rangoon after a terrible trip. False Story and Imprisonment.

He open ed it recently and there disclos ed., 80 or 85 l>ottle&—liottles of all kinds and sizes and descriptions; three-cornered bottles, square bot- tles; the old flask kind, etc. And every one of them had some liquor in it. Constable Fant, Sheriff Green and the other officers have been making tests of all this bboze, and it will be surprising to many to know that the whole caboodle does not average 25 per cent, alcohol. The men who bought and entered this liquor for market certainly had eyes for busi- jiew—they had regular gold riines. Here Is how they made their money: Twelve quarts of com whiskey, at 9150 gallon, woi^ld cost 14.50. In some cases, according to the tests,j the doctoring of 12 quarts re sulted ih 72 quarts. These 72 quarts sere retailed at-91.25 a quart. In other words, the retailer received $90 for some doctored stuff which had cost him $4.50. Despite the fact that the-wtnff-wa*-badly doctor [tag. thrown totoprtwm;rharired wtttr Abyssinian Priests Wanted NV^'X's t< Go to Menelik's Land. the standard prescribed for contract <? livery teen c^itifled at New York Ml such cotton was for a bfito V*T tually forced Into the New York stock In pursuance of a ruling of the Board of Appeals bf the New York Cotton Exchange, one of the highest com mittees of the exchange, and against the judgement of members of the Classification Co.mmltte. • “This certification of cotton actual ly below tenderable grade is especial ly Important because it was not due to the carelessnss of the Classifb-a- ijob, Committee, or to the dishonesty of any Individual .employe, Uut was the exprer: Ion of. a deliberate poli cy of one of the highest committees of the exchange, which should have taken every precaution to protect the Intergrlty of the contract. "Members of the New York Cot ton Exchange have also attempted to excuse this extraordinary .ruling of the board of appeals on the ground that only a few hundred bales ofrejet- H'ole cotton were thus deliberately al lowed to go into thecertiflcated stock. They have further attempted to de fend he classification of the exchange generally on the ground that the a«H>unt of certificated cotton, which was loaDy-below tenderable grade, or even the amoutot which, although tenderable, Is of exceptionally low grade, is but a small percentage of unspinnabie cotton into the exchangapihe total certificated stock. They sto«ks irfatos sovt al evils. The ef fect of such cotton is to depress the price of future contracts, and this tends to affect unfavorably the value of the entire crop," the great bulk of which is of much beter quality. "The investigation has shown that m.' ny extreme charges regarding the stock of cotton at New York can not be fully sustained. _ "A prevailing impression that many thousands of bitteb-of coton Jn the New tork market have tm-iT car ried for many years, until the-aloek is litle more than an accumulation of ri.bt ish. Is disproved by the fact that the entire stock at New York has on several occasions in recent years been reduced to a vry small quantity. Thus, in October, 1,900, the total cei'tihcate stock was very only a trifle over 5,0 hales, and as recently as September, 1904, itjjvas only 15,- •;00 bales. At the latter date a con-, sideral-le pa it of the stock was ap parently of fairly high grade. Con sequently it is, certain that the ’unouct cf very low grade cotton car ried ove in New York for any con- sideiaole iieilod of years can not K* extremety large. On the other hand there is some cotton which has thus been cai led over from year to year. "The president of the New York Cotton Exchange In November, 1900. stated to the revision con^mittee that some cotton hod been in the' New York stock tor tour years, and that the reason it had not been purchas ed for consumption was that it was of such poor quality as to be un desirable at the grade difference then existing. "While extreme charges against the grading of cotton at New York undoubtedly exaggerated actual con ditions, nevertheless'It Js certain that serious overelaaalficatlon . has fre quently occurred la that market. “Not only has cotton really below argue that the buyer of .a, future contract would therefore be indiffer ent to the possibility of rece ving some of this action. "Tt.ic, argument is so absurd as ha’dly to call for discussion. It would be about as logical for a man to say that he would be willing to staridup before a squad of soldiers to 4)0 shot at simply because only a por tion of the guns were loaded. Such cotton would unquestionably exert :m ihiTuence upon, the buyer out of .all proportion to its actual amount is-lativc to the total stock, been iso he itust take whatever the seller chooses to tender him. When the management" of the New York Cotton Exchange came * Into office, «».in June, 1907 this prac tice of accepting cotton under the ruling of the board of appeals was promptly stopped. • "It has been charged that deliver ies, particularly in New York have I ' -'n -dfellberately composed of an i.lin*cessarily large number of grades, the o press purpose of forcing the holder of the contract to sell It out rather than take up the coton, and that in Qiich cases the seller of the contract has been abble to buy it back at a decline. While such ’club- Miig the market’ may ocur at times, the deliberate mixing of grades for manipulative purposes does not ap pear to have ben a general, practice. ■'Comp.amts that New Orleans! classifications have been unduly se vere are not equally well sustained.

A dispatch from Union to The News and Courier says that city is in a condition of excitement due to the suspicious circumstances sur rounding two'fires .that occurred there early Tuesday morning on the premises of H. T., Yaets, - a photo- gfapher, Vho came there some years ago from Kentucky, and who has made a reputation for himself as an artist of considerable merit. The first of last night’s fires, which broke out about 2 a. m.. destroyed Mr. Yate’s automobile. About an hour later fire was discovered in the Yates dwelling. The fire company arrived this time early enough to extinguish the flames. There was every indication that a deliberate plan had been laid to destroy the house. A device, consisting of a clock, which had been so fixed so as to Ignite a fuse at a certain hour had been so arranged that when ignited the blaze would be communicated to a pile of excelsior, which, in turn, was connected with two trains of the same inflammable material, one of these trains leading to a pile of stove wood and excelsior placed aliout the refrigerator- in the dining room, the other train leading to a smaller pile in the kitchen. All of this had been saturated with kero sene. The work was well done., and the fire caught, but fortunately was seen in time. Yates, with his wife and two chil- iren, left about 9.30 Wednesday, night for Carlisle by private conveyance, having missed the train due at that hour. He was arrested there about noon Thursday and brought back and lodged in Jail on a charge, of arson. Some . weeks ago a similar mysterious fire destroyed Yate’s M.- 0^0-automobile.
