The “Mad.Doyg" Scare. i
The *‘mad-dog soare” isexaggerated, |
says Outing. Rabbies and the possi-
bility of a human being contracting it
are worthy of serious consideration,
yet genuine cases of it are very rare.
The so-called *‘mad-dogs” shot in the
streets of our cities during the heated |
term were, in very few cases, if auy,
suffering from rabies. This terrible |
disease does not suddenly develop, as |
do the common fits which may be pro-
duced by varying causes. Rabies |
takes time to reach the dangerous
stage, und few dogs, if properly cared
for, could develop it without their
owners knowing that something seri-
ous was the trouble. Horses kill
many more people than dogs are re-
sponsible for, yet we do not contem
plate the extinotion of the equine race.
It the crumpled-horn source of the
family milk supply happened to toss |
the son and heir over the barn, should |
we advocate that the entire tribe of |
Bos be destroyed ?
The real difficulty about the dogs is
not so much their fault as the fault of |
their owners. People who do not
know how to take cure of and control
a dog should have no right to own
one. A dog should never be kept
where the owner cannot be certain
that the animal! will do no serious
damage, will be properly fed, exer-
cised, and kept in general good condi
tion. Savage dogsand wandering curs
shonld be destroyed.
A Fireproof Tree.
A government report from Colnm
bis contains a description of a tree,
known as the chaparro, which 1s said
to possess the quality of being fir
proof. It grows on the vast plains of
Columbia and the north of Sou
America, called eavannpes, extens
districts whieh are parched with heat
except during the It
has long been the custom to clear the
ground for the new vegetation w hich
springs up loxuriantly on
plains after the rainy season, by means
of fire—and such fires, miles in extent,
kindled by the herdsmen,
everything in the shape of vegetation
except the chaparro tree, which sur
vives to afford a welcome shade in an
almost treeless region.
It is a small tree, seldom growing
more than twenty feet in height, with
a girth of about three feet, and it owes
its protection from fire to the nature
of its hard, thick bark. The bark lie
on the trunk in loos layers, which do
not readily conduct heat to the more

said, “Don’t talk to me about religion.”
Then the minister began to sing a familiar

Oh, mother dear, Jerusalem,

fle sang it tothe tune of “Dundes” and

Aler, and the very foundation of his heart
