PET PUPPY BIT NINE CHILDREN Feared that the Dog Had Hydropho* bia-It was Killed. (Greenville News, May 15.) Nine children were bitten by a collie puppy on Stone avenue Wed nesday. It ls feared that the animal was suffering from hydrophobia. It was killed and the head sont to the Pasteur institute In Atlanta, where a careful examination will* be made. The parents of the children are nat urally very uneasy, though there is every reason to hope that the dog was suffering from some other dis ease than hydrophobia. The children bitten were those of B. H. Peace, five in number, two of Frank Watson's and two of R. L. Chandler's. A col ored girl is ?Uso said to have been bitten. None of the wounds Inflicted by the dog are at all severe. A doctor was called and dressed the wounds of the children. * He ex amined the dog, but was unable to find whether cr not the animal was .mad. He suggested that the head of the dog oe sent to the Pasteur Insti tute for examination. "Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil is the best remedy for that often fatal dis ease-croup.

Conducted Economically and Effl? clently by the Government. The Swiss Government owns and operates all he telegraph and tele phone lines in the Confederation, says Consul R. E. Mansfield, of Lu cerne. The telegraph and telephone service extends to nearly every town and village In the country, and every railway station ls supplied with both systems. The ser?-" ce is good and tho rates are low. They are operated In connection with the postal service, every post office being provided with telegraphic facilities, and practically all of them with public telephones. Distances in Switzerland being short, the service prompt and the rates low, the telegraph and tele phone are liberally patronized. Long distance connections are made with all the local or urban telephone lines, 'riiis enables the patrons to communi cate with all cities and towns In the country. There are also international connections wit b - all the countries bordering on Swiss territory. A feature of the Swiss telephone service ls that, in addition to own inn and operating all the lines, the government manufactures all the in struments used, makes the Insula tions and controls the business abso lutely. The total length of telephone lines in Switzerland is 10,548 miles. The annual rental charges for offices,busi ness houses and residences ls $12.45 per year. An additional charge ol one cent is made for each call in the town. For Inter-urban or long-dis tance calls the rate is from two*to fourteen cents for three minutes,.ac cording to distance, fourteen cents being the maximum rate for any dis tance tn the country. ' The number of telephone subscrib ers in 1906 was 53,711. During the year there were 32,071,177 local, 7,261,193 inter-urban and 299,209 international calls over the govern ment telephones. The revenue from all classes of calls for 1906 was $829,732; Income from rent on 53, 711 telephones, $668,702. Total, $1, 498,434. The total length of telegraph lines in Switzerland is 66,683 miles. The total numebr of telegrams transmit ted in 1906 was 4,918,679, of which 2,355,956 were international and 1,698,838 local. The total revenue from telegrams for the year was $l, 596,664. There is a government tax of 30 centimes, equal to a fraction under six cents American money, on each telegram sent. In r iition to this charge there is a universal rate of one-half cent a word throughout the country, distance not being taken into consideration. A telegram of 10 words costs only ll cents. The Inter national rate is 30 cents per word to New York, 2 cents to France, Ger many, Italy and Austria, 5 cents to Spain, 6 cents to England, and 9 qents to Russia. In addition to the foregoing there is a government tax of 10 cents on each international tel egram or cable. The total income from telegram and telephone service for i906 was $3,095,098; expense, $2,:31. 217; profit to the govornment, $863,881. The telegraph and tele phone service, like the government railways and parcels post, are eco nomically administered, the object being to give the best service possible at the lowest possible cost to the peo ple.

Ho\ * Woman Worked the Lawyers. Showed they Had Kind Heart?. (Kansas City Star.)) She was a young woman, well ?ressea, and had an appearance above the average. While not of striking beauty, In the common sense she was what was often called good looking. In other and simpler words, she would do. She entered the lawyer's office. In her hand she held a magazine, and in the back portion of her hair was a lead pencil. "I would like to have you subscribe *S this magazine," she said. "It ls >1 a year, and lt ls one of the very best magazines published." Then she turned the pages and showed the lawyer the many interest ing departments, special articles, ab sorbing f.ction stories and other things which the magazine contained. "No, Miss," said the lawyer. "I don't c?.re for it. I'll admit the mag azine is a good one, but I have enough now, and I don't care for lt." The lawyer had hardly finished his sentence when the young woman be gan to weep copiously. "Don't mind me," she said. "I just can't help it. I am trying to earn a living. I am soliciting sub scriptions for a. magazine which is worth Ila year if it is worth a cent. Everyone tells me the same thing you did. I am discouraged. I am de spondent. I don't care what happens to rae." And then the little miss wept some more. Of course, under these rare condi tions, even a lawyer's heart will turn, ne produced a silver dollar and sub scribed on the spot. "Dont cry,, little girl," said the lawyer. "Be brave; work hard; per severe; everything will come out all right in the end." And the little girl left the office with a "thank you." This story would have been all right if it were not for the fact that Bones, the doctor, had entered the lawyer's office some minutes later to tell him of a strange case that had transpired In his office. The case had to do with a young woman of average good looks Who waa solic iting subscriptions for a dollar mag azine. "I was never so affected in my life," said Dr. Bones. "I refused to subscribe, and the girl actually broke down in tears. I never saw anyone so discouraged." "Did you subscribe?" asked the lawyer. "Certainly I did," said Dr. Bones. "So did I," said the lawyer, "and she wept here, too." An Investigation proved that the young woman of crying propensities had taken thirteen subscriptions on that flojr, which would have been a fair day's work, even if she had gone no further.

Stlmp 8on, of Willlmantic, Conn., who, af ter almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kid ney Cure, which, he says, was "just the thing for him," as four bottles cured him completely.

Naples, May .14.-Signor Coartlno has written a pamphlet pointing out the danger of an explosion of Vesu vius should the volcano vent or chim ney become blocked, and proposes to afford an outlet for the incandes cent mass contained in the crater by boring a tunnel at the base of the muntain and leading the molten rock into the sea. It might even be pos sible to load the lava into moulds that would give it the shape and size of blocks of cement, such ns are used for building quays, breakwaters, etc., and, of course, smaller paving stones for the strcwts of Nnplos, such as are now quarried in the very old and cooled lava.

The truth is, there are fewer Bap tists, Methodists and Presbyterians in New York to-day than there were twenty-five years ago, though thc city's population has been more than doubled. The rapid extinction of churches of these denominations In Manhattan during the past decade shows this. In 1896 the Baptists re ported 64 churches. Last year they claimed only 48. Many of these claims arc pitiful absurdities-mere names of mission halls and soup kitchens, supported by the charity of one or two rich men. One-half of them represent hopes as yet unful filled. The si me thing is true of the Methodists, who reported 73 churches in 1896, and only claim 59 in 1907. The Presbyterians reported 71 in 1896, and only 57 last year. In the year 1840 New York had one church to every eighteen hundred of population. Last year we could not find one church to four thousand population, counting all our mission houses and soup kitchens as regylar "churches." There are many sections of the city which are practically pagan. In one district of sixteen thousand pop ulation, which is typical of many more, there is one saloon to 111 in habitants and one church to every 8.196. In another large district thwre are some in ty thousand inhabitants.wini j a saloon to every 200 persons and a church to every 10,000. In the sec tion between 24th and 59th streets, west of 9th avenue, there is but one church to 15.000, whiie the district between 40th and 64th streets, west of 10th avenue, contains 46,663 per sons, and has but one church. And the sad part of the story is that many of these churches that are reckoned on the map as living and performing their duties to these vest populations are dead and don't know lt. The Modesty of Women Naturally makes them shrink from the Indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex amlnations, and unpleasant local treat ments, which some physicians consider essential in the troatmont of diseases of women.
