^.^'V v'.' "'"v" IK" V", ' ' - . ' ' THE MADSTONE. Something about a Supposec Cure for Hydrophobia. Dootors Say Both tbo Stone and Cure Effected by it are Mythical. "Madness in dogs," said a physician . "is mentioned in the Iliad of llomer, ant hydrophobia is described as a disease b; Aristotle. Democritis, the laughinj philosopher, developed a theory of th malady 400 years before the Christian era Hippocrates, the father of medicine, an< contemporary with Dcmocratcs, recom mended the sucking of the wound mad by the bite of a rabid dog. In the ab scnce of a physician to cauterize th wound or a surgeon to cut it out, th medical iratemity of to-day would pre scribe the same remedy. The first thin* an awkward person does when he smashes his finger with a hammer is to jam the injured member iu his mouth. Person bitten by venomous snakes have removec the poison in the same manner. "The ubsorbent qualities of certaii kinds of earth or clay have led to thci) use in cases of poisonous bites to absorl the poison, or laceration of the fiesh t< stop the flow of blood. "When the soli mtary plowman encounters a nest of bee; and gets the worst of the contest he ap plies a handful of earth moistened witl tobacco juice to the stings. The adhe sive quality of a spongy sort of clay prob ably gave rise to the mythical stories con cerning the use of madstones for bites o rabid animals. Madstones have a mysteri ous history. Everybody has heard o: tllPin hllf. VArtr fnw r\nroAno V? nTrn cn/ir tliem. The encyclopedias describe tlieir as light, porous stones which have the quality of adhering to a wound. Theii origin is not even hinted at, and theii peculiar qualities are not given. Medical authorities do not mention them, though they speak of all the differeul remedies applied to the wounds made by animals afflicted with hydrophobia. "Tradition says the stone is flat, ovalshaped, and of a bluish color. It is said that it will adhere to the poisoned wound until filled with the virus, when it falls off. After. bein? washed and soaked in hot water or milk it will again stick to the wound if it contains any poisonous matter. It is claimed that these stones arc efficacious if applied to the wound several days or even several weeks after the victim has been bitten by tho innd rlnrr ?t,? "The cures effected by this wonderful stone arc mythical as the stone itself. The possessors of these magic healers claim many lives saved from rabies. The , medical records do not mention a case. fit is impossible to lay your hands on the man who has been bitten by a mad dog an^CWed by the mad-stone." ^ George P. Cunningham has made the study of hydrophobia a speciality, and it is more than probablo has cauterized more wounds made by dogs than any other man in Chicago. His office is h few doors from the Chicago avenue police station. Every person on the North Side bitten by a dog supposed to be mad rushes to the station and the vic^ tim is hurried to Dr. Cunningham. Forty to fifty dog-bitten people come to him every year, and he estimates that he has cauterized over two hundred wounds made by these animals. But three ner sons whose wounds he has treated have died of hydrophobia. "If the madstone is a fraud, the medical fraternity ought to prove it," Dr. Cunningham said. "I have examined all the encyclopedias and mcdical authorities that come within my reach to secure some positive information concerning madstones. I have not the slightest idea of their origin. I can't even find out what they look like. I have always wanted to see one so that in rambling about I might pick up a stone that looked like it and make some experiments. I have never seen a person who had seen one. They must have the power of n suction-pump if they can draw out the poison that has been in the system two or three weeks, as it is claimed they can do. "I imagine that a madstone has about fjr/s as much effect as a pieco of blotting paper. Anything that has absorbent qualities would be beneficial, but I should hate to risk a madstone thirty minutes after the poison had entered the wound even if it has the qualities claimed for it. The vims enters the system the moment after the bite. Not all of the poison is taken up at once, of course, and by prompt Cauterization the remaining virus is destroyed."?Chicago News. uiatt'i iiart Him. A hillside farmer, driving a miserable looking horse, stopped in front of a feed store and was trying to sell a frost-bitten rooster when a man rushed up to him Q and said: "Look at your blamed old horse, up to hi* eyes in my bale of hay." -i; 1Is it your hay?" ? "Of course, it is. Take your horse away from here." "Of course I will, fur I never like ter tramp on a man's rights?" "Take him away, I tell you 1" 'Tea, 1 wiH. Ya, back here t Well," * he added as ho climbed into the wagon p;! and started away, ' 'thar's one consolin' thing erbout the transackshun. The hoss don't 'pear ter be hurt much."?Arkansas Traveler. -V.v;v, v- .. ' r Xf, - . Life Cars. In a little gray houso with a red roof, ^ which stands on a desolate stretch ol beach in Ocean County, New Jersey, there hangs an oval iron case which has t singular history. The house is a statioi 8 of the Life-Saving Service, and the case is the first li/e-car ever used in the world Its story is as follows. ' After the organization of the Life Saving Service as a branch of the Gov ^ eminent, in 1871, its inspectors visited 3 every part cf the coast to examine intc u the condition of the station-houses and j their equipments. One of these oflicers was on the New Jersey coast during a heavy storm, when c a ship was driven on the bar. lie saw the desperate efforts of the surfinen to L' reach her in their heavy life-boat. They at last succeeded, and took off as many ^ of the passengers as the boat would hold, * but in returning, it was swamped by the furious breakers, and rescued and rescuers were washed into the sea. g For weeks and months afterwards the inspector went about like a man distrillicllt nil rlnvisinnr n mnrlnl J o 1 ' "O " for a boat which should be at once light r enough to handle in such seas, and heavy 3 enough not to be overturned by them. J The problem was so difficult that he was iu dispair. But one day he startled his s companions by exclaiming, "Swing it on a cable, and put a lid to it 1" 1 The idea was at ouce carried out. This life-car was mada,?an oval, air-tight case closed by a lid which screws down, and hung by iron rings on a cable extended from the shore to the ship. On P the first day it was used, two hundred persons escaped in it from the Ayrshire, ^ a vessel wrecked oil the New Jersey coast. These cars, of an improved shape, arc i now to be found in every life-saving , station. But this old battered veteran is regarded with a touching pride anc* ( fection by the brave surfmen. < "She has done good work in- the world," they say; an epitaph which we J would all be glad to share with the life- ' car.?Youth"*s Compan ion. Harpy-Hunting. ] The Dutch planters in Java invite each , other to bat soirees. The cavernous < Bouth coast of their island harbors myriads of kalongs, or fruit-eating bats, for their size about the most voracious mam- ] mals of our latter-day creation. In a single night a full-grown kalong will eat his j own weight in bananas, grapes, or < bread-fruit, and in stress of hunger will i attack any soft vegetable substance, ai^, i indeed, almost any organic substance whatever, for captive specimens have been know to devour sponges and kid J gloves. A few minutes after sunset those j harpies leave their dens, and, after cir- 1 cling about the coast in shrieking swarms, J decide on the plan of their campaign, and I descend en masse on the fruit groves of J the most convenient valley. At the first ? alarm the villagers snatch up their slings * and start at a doublc-quick, picking up stones as they run. Every minute's delay may cost them a bushel of fruit. But before charging the marauders they send their best marksmen to some vantageground on the seaward side of the battleground, having fouud by experience that | the -flying harpies will take a bee-line to the coast. A few scouts then rush in with loud yells, or open the attack by firing off a blunderbus, and in the next minute the answering shrieks of the harpies rise on the air, and with a rush the whole swarm sail away, followed by a volley of hurtling stones.? , Felix L. Oswald. Cats as Bed-fellows. In reply to Che query of a correspondent as to the popular belief that a cat will I suck the breath of a sleeping infant, Babyhood says: i 'Dr. Tomlinson of Chicago, dismisses the subject Socratically: 'What good do you suppose it would do a cat to draw into its lungs breath which a human being has just exhaled?' Never- | ' 1 Ji- * # tiiuiuss ii/ uiuy dc saiu, witn all respect for Dr. Tomlinson and no respect at all for superstition, that the warmth-loving cat has a way of preferring baby's crib as a sleeping^place to any other bed or corner. If driven away, she will return stealthily again and again to the snug covert. She loves, furthermore, to nes- ; tie close to baby's body, as often as not thrusting her whiskered nose against the velvet cheek, pink and warm with sleep. 1 Thus far, she may do no harm.

The small chap wa3 not a -whit abashed, t but looking -wisely up into the doctor's face, asked: t "Do you kill many boys in the course 1 of the year?". . J The doctor gave him a quarter in , place of a dime, and forgot to ask for the j change,?MinneapolU Tribune..... ? I Fine Hair.
