Hydrophobia. The origin aiul progress of hydrophobia in the United States and its historical distribution in Europe curiously confirm the" induction from the preceding facts-^namely, tliat, in the great majority of instances, the little red-eyed wolf of Pomerania is responsible for the fatality that has recently seemed to attend any abrasion of the skin by the teeth of a dog, whether rabid or sane. The Spitz dog, which has been largely introduced into this country, is in his native home an associate of the wolf. Although Homer, 'Yirgil, Pliny, Ovid and other aucient writers are abundant in allusions ^ to hydrophobia, the earliest European report of real interest describes an outbreak among the wolves of Franconia, a German province, which occurred in 1271. Since then it has been frequently * J 11 . A * _ reported as prevajent in me epizouuc form in tlie wooded districts of Germany, France and Switzerland, where it is principally limited to dogs, wolves and f. >xes. It appeared in the West Indies in 1776, and in the United States in 1785. Ihe cause of its spontaneous development has never been explained. It has, according to German observers, three stages, which may be designated respectively as the stage of nerv ous depression, the stage of fury, and the final stage of paralysis, during which the animal dies. A frothy spume commences to drip from the lips as the second stage supervenfs, and a delirious ferocity replaces the silent brooding in which the rabies has it3 inception, A tingling sensation of the cicatrix of the wound, which usually heals kindly, is one of the first symptoms in cases where the rabies is propagated by inoculation. Ague and muscular tremor, with spasmodic stricture of the throat and frothing at the mouth, im mediately follow. Iu some cases delirum mercifully supervenes. In others tl e patient is strangely loquacious. Iu others he manifests a startling and abnormal brilliancy of the intellwt, punctuated by intervals of despondency. Autopsies have added very little to the stock of information current among medical men. That of Dr. Hammond, of 1873, and the recent one instituted in the case of Andrew Hennaun, describe the general result of all such inquiries. Two very important autopsies were publicly! in "Rdinbnrah Mfdioal and Surgical Review during the great outbreak in Edinburgh. Both were very exhaustive, but neither was successful in tracing the origin and development of the disorder. After dissecting 375 rabid dogs Bruckmuller came to the conclusion that such evidence was of no value in determining these questions. The two constant facts presented on post mortem examinations have been congestion of the lungs, nervous centers and mucous membraues, and a dark and gramous appearance of the blood, both arterhd and venuous. The nervous disturbance appears t<> commence in local irritation at the cicatrix partly, and to be partly consequent upon the poisoned condition of the blood. Hallier asserts that he lias found microscopic# germs in the blood of hydrophobic patients, but the assertion has never been verified, although, when tl e development of the disorder is finally traced out, it is very probable that the germ theory will find one of its most fmtaaitg 4 illustrations in this hithefrt\<fcdw&^Abjefct. The romantic " tollwurm " (madness worm) theory of hydrophobia, which has been handed down for ages as a German myth,-and was revived as a scientific view in Russia not many years since, has been demolished by the discover}* that this worm of madness or malignant pustule consists merely of a group of enlarged follicles. The only point of practical interest in the literature of hydrophia appears, therefore, to consist in the fact that it seems to have radiated over modern Europe from the woodeik districts of Germany, where it has existed for centuries in its epizootic form. Previous to 1856, before importation of the Spitz dog as a net accordinarto a reuort prefaced by the American" Medical Association, one hundred and two oases of rabies had been reported and described by practicing physicians in the United States since 1785, of which thirty-one occurred during the spring months, twenty-one during the summer, twenty-seven in autumn and twenty-tbree;in winter. fljr * How We Take Cold. Getting wet, and wet feet, occupy a very senou^ glace in the list of colds; and doubt that damp and cold appliea to the general surface is the most efficient means of producing chill and vital depression, with congestion of the inter^d organs. It is necessary that cold to COiribined with moisture to produce this effect Even if all the clothes on the body are wet, no harm will come so long as they are kept warm; and this suggests the very great value, to all persons liable to exposure to wet, of light waterproof overalls. They may either be put on keep the underclothing dry; or if the underclothing has become wet, either by wetdher or by perspiration, they may be ptit on to prevent too rapid evaporation and consequent reductiou of temperature, especially when the person is about to.remain still after getting warm with exercise. In this variable climate, therefore, schoolgirls, governesses, shop and factory girls, and all women whose occupations call upon them to brave the weather, ought to carry with them complete waterproof mantles, made as light as p >ssible, out extending from the neck to the ankles, which can be put on or not as required; and boys and men, similarly exposed, should earrv waterproof over fills. v . * The Sun Jumps a Day. Chatham island, lying Off the coast of New Zealand, in the South Pacific ocean, is peculiarly situated, as it is one of the habitable points of the globe where the day of the week changes. It is just in the line of demarkation between dates. There high twelve on Sunday or noon ceases, and instantly Monday meridian begins. Sunday oomes into a man's house on the east side, and becomes Monday by the time it passes out the wesbera door. A man sits down to his noonday dinner on Sunday, and it i6 Monday noon before he finishes it. There Saturday is Sunday, and Sunday is Monday, and Monday becomes suddenly transferred into Tuesday. It is a good place for people who have lo t much time, for by taking an early start they can always get a day ahead 01 Chatham island. It took philosophers ? 1 _ 1 if i. _.iii ana geograpners h umt 10 seme the puszle of where Sunday noon ceas?d and Monday noon began, with a man traveling West fifteen degrees an hour, or with the sun. It is to be hoped that the next English Arctic expedition will settle the other mooted question: ^ " Where will one stop who travels northwest continually ?"

Sheep. Pig* nn<I Poultry. Sheep, feeding for tlie butcher, can profitably consume, according to the size, ! from one to two pounds of grain per day, with hay, straw, and six to twelve pounds of roots. It will not pay, as a rule, to keep fattening sheep to stive the fleece after they are ripe for market. The ' value of the pelt always enters into the price given by the butcher, and to feed ! sheep two months to save the value of the pelt, and then Und this deducted from the price of the sheep, is not a pleasing surprise. Fat sheep generally sell best i this month or early in March. Lambs.?Every lamb of the right kind now appearing, if within 300 miles of New York, may be made, by proper management, to be worth, three months hence, $8 or more in tire market. The raising of early lambs for market is a growing and profitable business. To give all the details of their management ! would take too much space. The essentials to success are tlie right kind of sheep; to have lambs early, and to feed well until ready for market. Dry, warm t quarters and good food for the ewes are indispensable. Store Sheep can be wintered very well on straw, fed twice a day, with some roots, a pound of liay, and a pint of grain between the morning and evening feeds, j No grain or roots should .be fed until the morning feed of straw has been eaten clean. | Sat,t.?A lumD of rock salt kept in a shed or under cover, where the animals can lick it at will, is the safest way to give this necessary condiment?given to 1 excess, it is hurtful, especially to pigs. Pios.?Dry, warm, well ventilated, clean pens or yards are necessary for success in raising swine. Disease inevitably accompanies neglect in these things. There is no mystery about the diseases which destroy so many swine. An unhealthy sameness of food, all com, or all whey, 110 roots ; too much wet, damp or filth; perhaps too close iubreeding, all ; result in disease, wliich in time becomes j 1 constitutional. A beginning of a better way may be now made with the young pigs to be soon looked for. Provide the 1 brood sows with warm, dry pens, with plenty of bedding of cut straw. Feed com meal, bran and mangelR, turnips or potatoes, and apportion the different kinds of food with regard to the condition i of the sows. Poultry.?Some of the hens that have been laying will brood this month. Pro; vide a warm place for them, where they will be quiet and undisturbed. A sunny I corner in a warm stable will do very well for the chicks next month if the fowls are of a hardy breed. These early chickens will make early market birds, and the i pullets will lay early.?Agriculturist. \ (iraoH r? a Konovntor. Professor Bovnton, of the American , Fanners' club, New York, gave a long and interesting talk on the importance of ! a knowledge of certain facts in chemistry i i and geology in the application of fertilizers to soils. The sum and substance of these remarks were that a satisfactory crop cannot be made unless the essential elements to it are in the soil, and it cnnj not*be done then without a stimulqnt. | Minus even one element the crop is not perfect. In turning under grasses, grain, ' 1 iv 1 iL.i etc., one returns to rne grounu una wim-n , has been taken from it in tlie growing , process of the plant, as well as various elements absorbed by it from the air. , When farmers have failed to obtain as , great an improvement as anticipated by 1 this excellent method of fertilization, j the speaker thought the failure due to the i fact that they had allowed after the de composition of the crop, the ammonia to escape. This can be prevented by applying sulphuric acid in some form. The i common and inexpensive one of gypsum scattered over the ground was rec' ommended. as this material]con6ists largely i of the required element. Ammonia, while it does not enter into the composition of the plant, is a necessary stimulent, with, out which it cannot perfect itself. Ammonia is furnished largely in rain water, with a still greater amount in snow ; hence the practice of scattering gypsum j or similar material when snow is on the ! ground. In worn out lands potash and phosphoric acid are, as a lule, the ele- ! 1 ments most wanting ; then follows a poverty in soda, lime, magnesia, etc. In 1 order to fertilize successfully, the farmer i must first ascertain what essential elements are locking in his soil; and second-1 ly, the wants of the crop anticipated for it. Eggs for Winter U*r. Several recipes were given at a meeting of the American Fanners' club for keeping eggs. The first one advised taking a firkiu and placing a layer of fine salt over the bottom ; into this the eggs are to be set, large end down, as close as possible without touching each other; next comes another layer of salt, then of i eggs, and so on until the firkin is filled, cure being taken to finish with a layer of salt. Care must also be observed that the salt is dry. A second method recommended a layer of slacked lime wet to a consistency that will allow the eggs to stand upright in it. The bottom laver of lime must be two in/ikAo* . iVa arrtra aro nf.iir>k l'ntrt lllUiiCD IllllVA y KliV this, small end downward, close but not touching. Over these a fresh mixture of slacked liine is poured, the process continued until the vessel is full. The third mode suggested is one often employed in France, and is rather more expensive : In eight ounces of hot olive oil are dissolved four ounces of beeswax ; this mixture is rubbed over the eggs with a rag. Eggs prepared in this manner are said to keep nicely for two years. The Value of the .Apple. At a recent meeting of the New York Farmers' club a member said that of all fruits grown in the Northern States the apple is the most easily raised; the cheapest and the most durable, and gave the following rotation in the culture of orchards as one that has been successfully practiced : The first year plow, manure and plant potatoes ; the second year plow, manure, and sow oats and clover, andjmow the oats for fodder ; the third year take off the clover crop and plow in the fall, preparatory to the potato crop which is to follow. Thus the land will be manured two years out of three, a good crop of oats and clover taken off, and a tolerable crop of potatoes, without apparent injury to the trees. In selecting trees varieties such as come i*nfrv i.eo of /h'flfprent seasons should be introduced, so as to secure a supply for the whole year. The common error of setting the trees too near each other was referred to and cautioned against by this member, who thought that thirty feet . apart is much better than nearer, as apples require both sun and air. No fruit, uuless it be the g^ape, is more dependent on the sun for its flavor and color than the apple. Frank Walworth is st^ll in the State lunatic asylum at Auburn, *nd Superintendent Gray believes that 1.^ was when he killed hie father. A Naughty Brother. A well to do citizen of Chicago sent his daughter to Paris to he educated. I He received glowing accounts of her progress in music, all of which were , duly communicated to his friends and acquaintances. Meanwhile her younger brother, whom she had bossed and tortured for years, had sworn a terrible rei venge. He made a habit of biking her pet dog into the parlor every day; then lie would open the piano, spread out the 1 music, seat himself on the stool and strike a couple of chords; then catch up a stick and lick the dog within an inch of his life. In this villainous manner lie succeeded so well in training the sagacious animal that by the middle of November it would get up and be uneasy if any one went near the piano, and the ! faintest touch on the keys would make ' him get up and howl terribly. The boy did not communicate his success to any one. At last the sister returned. Her father got in a $1,200 piano, and invited the family and the friends thereof to come and hear his dinifrhter ierk some of the music she had had instilled into her at Paris. They came. The brother introduced the dog, and with fiendish ingenuity turned the conversation upon its many virtues and j accomplishments. "It is so fond of I S;s," he said, "and so clever. Why, it would sit for horn's by the piano to listen to her playing, it is so fond of music." The young lady said that Fido was a jewel of pets, and imprinted a kiss on his forehead, which caused five witty young men to remark: "Lucky dog!" Then they pressed her to play, and after much persuasion she consented, and agreed to perform Schubert's '' Ach ! Parlo Giunge !" W hen the five young men began clearing the piano for action aud taking a few reefs in the stool, Fido became uneasy; indeed, his agitation was easily apparent. "Poor Fido !" said liis mistress, soothingly; " he is so passionately fond of music." Meanwhile the brother with a malignant leer slipped round to the door and closed it. Miss Blank seated herself at the piano aud | struck the first note. The hapless dog 1 gave one ear piercirtg howl, then wild with terror dashed to the door to find it locked. The night without was cold, dark and cheerless, and within all was warmth, light and happiness, but he didn't hesitate for a second, but with a despairing yelp went through a $16 pane of glass and departed for the Pacific coast. Teddy's Big Heart. In the lottery of office Teddy was cast for the part of deputy constable, in New Orleans, and abandoned his daily occupation to qualify for duty. The first service committed to him was to exeomViira nrnn flip linnse I l? lrJ iV lidiuiv/iii o tJvx?i?Av hciil effects of a family consisting, in the absence of the husband, of a lady and six children. Teddy was met at the door by the lady, in tears, and all the children ciying in chorus. The husband was .absent. Txldv grew very restless, and [ said to a companion : " Now, look at that. Who, wid a heart under his jacket, could stand by and see a woman ciy, and then take away everything in the house ? Be hanged if I do it?no, I wouldn't have the dirty money for doing it. No, begorra, I'd whip the spalpeen tlrnt would " Tliis he said to the lady: "IJee here, madam, I didn't know what a sazure was or I'd niver touch it. You look too much like what my own mother and childer might be, and me dead and not to the fore to work for them. Now, I wash my hands of the sazure, and 111 tell you what to do. Shut the dure ; get you a big stick, and to the first constable that comes foreninst you club the skull off of him, and if I'm in hearing I'll come and stand by you and tlie chdder. For me I'm done wid the politics and the sazure. I've got a heart in me and niver a cobble stone, so I wish you a good morning, madam, and I'll go back to drivin' the cart and let some other fellow that's got neither mother nor childer make the sazure." So Teddy made the matter certain by tearing lip the " sazure " and departing to resume a more congenial vocation of driving a cart for the support of his family. Illnmination from an Oil Well. The Bradford New Era says : The immense vein of gas was struck on the night of October 4, at a depth of 810 feet, and was so strong as to render further drilling impossible. The well is ' about two miles from Bradford, on the Bruce Rodgers farm. Running from the well are two two-inch pipes, attached to which are three gas jets of the same size, the gas belching forth from these pipes with such a terrific rush and noise as to render conversation, pitched in the ordinary tone, inaudible for fully one-fourth of a mile away, and the roar can be heard five or six miles away. The blaze from each of the three pipes is sent by the force of the gas to a height of from twenty-five to forty feet, the heat being so intense as to melt the 8now entirely away for a distance of at least one hundred feet, and also keeping the ground so worm during all the cold weather of the winter that grass, strawberry vines and other plants may grow. In many places where the crowd of sightseers have worn the ground, it is very dusty. The light is so strong that a newspaper may be read half a mile away. On very dark nights the illumination is grand. The light has frequent1 1 ?? Onaoii Malnmnnpji nrul . iv ueeii seen in ?.MM other towns twenty miles away. An Earnest Lunatic. Some years ago a cracked brained boy named O'Connor presented a harmless old pistol at Qaecn Victoria, as she was leaving Buckingham palace. He was imprisoned for a few months, and then s ?nt out to one of the colonies where employment was found for him. Lately he announced his determination to return to Eugland, and his departure was telegraphed to Scotland Yard, London, i When O'Connor landed, two detectives were appointed to watch his movements day and night. They lost sight of him one morning, and were ordered to hnrry to Buckingham palace, where, sure enough, O'Connor was found within the gates.

ProHidrnl front's Virwn of llic Electoral Kill n* Expressed to the Senntr. To the Senate of the United State*: I follow the example heretofore occasionally presented of communicating in this mode my approval of the act to provide for and regulate the counting of the vote for President and Vice-President, and the decision of questions arising thereon, because of my appreciation of the imminent peril to the institutions of the country, from which, in my judgment, the act provides a wise and constitutional means of escape. For the first time in the history of our country under the Constitution as it now is, a dispute exists with regard to the result of the election of the Chief Magistrate of the nation. It is understood that upon the disposition of disputes touching the elec 1 toral votes cast at ine laie eiwuuu uj one or more of the States depends the question whether one or the other of the candidates for the Presidency is the lawful Chief Magistrate. The importance of having clearly ascertained by a procedure regulated by law which of the two citizens has been elected, and of having the right of this high office recognized and cheerfully agreed in by all the people of the republic, cannot be overestimated, and leads me to express to Congress and to the nation my great satisfaci tion at the adoption of a measure that i affords an orderly means of decision of a 1 gravely exciting question. While the history of our country in its | earlier period shows that the president of ' the Senate has counted the votes and de-; clared their standing, our whole liistory | shows that in no instance of doubt or j dispute has he exercised the power of de- j ciding, and that the two houses of Con- j gress have disposed of all such doubts i and disputes, although in no instance j hitherto have they been such that their , discussion could essentially have affected j the result. For the first time then j the government of the United States \ is now brought to meet the ques- j tion as one vital to the result, and: this under conditions^ net the best cal-1 culated to produce an agreement1 or to induce calm feeling in the several : branches of the government or among j the people of the country. In a case j where as now the result is involved, it is j the highest duty of the law-making1 power to provide in advance a constitu-1 tional, orderly, and just method of exe-, . cuting the Constitution in this most in- j teresting and critical of its provisions. The doing so, far from being a compromise of right, is an enforcement of right and an execution of powers conferred by the Constitution in Congress. I think j that this orderly method has lieen se- i cured by the bill, which, appealing to i the Constitution and the law as the j guide in ascertaining rights, provides a ! means of deciding questions of single | returns through the direct action of Congress, and in respect to double returns by a tribunal of inquiry S whose decisiorf shall stand unless; * both houses of Congress shall concur in determining otherwise, thus securing a definite disposition of all questions of dispute in whatever aspect they may j arise. With or without this law, as all1 of the States have voted, and as a tie vote is impossible, it must l>e that one of the ' two candidates has been elected, and it! would be deplorable to witness an irregu- j i lar controversy as to which of the two ' should receive or which should continue ; to hold the office. { In all periods of history controversies have arisen as to the succession or choice 1 of the chiefs of States, and no party or i citizen loving the country and its free in-! stitutions can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving through the upright j course of law their country from the ' smallest danger to its pence on such an occasion. And it cannot be impressed too firmly in the hearts of all the people that true liberty and real progress can exist only through a cheerful adherence to constitutional law. The bill purports to provide only for the settlement of questions arising from the recent election. The fact that such questions can arise demonstrate the necessity, which I cannot ; doubt will before long be supplied, of permanent general legislation to meet cases which have not beeu contemplated in the Constitution or laws of the country, j The bill may not be perfect, and its ; orovisions mav not be such as would be j , best applicable to all future occasions, but it is calculated to meet the present | ; condition of the questions and of the country. The country is agitated. It needs aid, it desires peace and quiet and harmony between all parties and all sections. Its industries are arrested, labor unemployed, capital idle, and enterprise paralyzed by reason of the doubt and anxiety attending the uncertainty of a double claim to the Chief Magistracy of the nation. It wants to be assured that the result of the election will be accepted without resistance from the supporters of the disappointed candidates, and that its highest officer shall not hold his place with a questioned title of right. Believing that the bill will secure these ends, I give it my signature. IT. S. Grant. Executive Mansion, Jan. 29, 1877.

Among the most exquisite scenes which delight the eye of the European traveler, are those rose colored cloud banners, floating from the Alpine cliffs. But it is only in the sunlight that natiu-e hangs out those beautiful tokens. So it is only in the glow of health?the Bunlight of our inner U'ing?that nature reveals those physical cloud banners, the 'tostcheek" and "cherry lip," to praise which every poet of the earth has invoked the muse to aid him. But they are as rare as the cynical Hood conceived Christian charity to be. Woman, eager to retain this charm, resorts to French art and rouge. The effect is similar to that which would be produced by substituting auctioneers' flags for the delicatej glowing cloud banners ef the Alps. If woman would aid nature instead of adopting art, would seek health instead of vainly trying to mask disease, she would not only win the greatest charm of womanhoodhealth?but she would avert ranch misery both from herself and others.

The i>opularity of Messrs. James 8. Kirk ?fc Co.'s soaps, manufactured in Chicago, is shown by the anprecedented sale which their goods have reached during the year 1876. This by far is the largest soap manufacturing concern in the United States, producing and selling in all parts of this country, from the Red river of the North to New Orleans, and from Portland, Me., to Kan Francisco, 25,000,000 pounds annually. No so-called greases enter into these soaps". Only pure refined tallow and vegetable oils are used, containing no adultera' ion. Fair and square weights always reliable. This is why their soaps are so popular with all good and economical housekeepers. Since our Inst issue we have heard of several persons who have used Durang*s Rheumatic Remedy for rheumatism; and a'l pronounce it a success. It comes to our market highly recommended ; and as it is the only reliable remedy now in use, it will have a large sale. It is taken internally. Price, f 1.00; six bottles, $5.10.
