butcher the helpless things and spoil
the natural beauty they possess. There

men have the gift to improve the view

SENSELESS © MAD-DOG ” BUARES,
The New York World Speaks with Wis.
dom on the Hubjeol--The Disease »
Very Hare One,
The death of William H, Marsh, the
New York manufacturer, of hydro-
phobia, seems likely to be the cause of
many senseless panics, says the World
in an editorisl. Wherever a dog in
play snaps at a child or in anger in-
flicts » wound, some foolish person is
almost sure to raise the ‘* mad.-dog
ery and perhaps frighten the injured
one into illness, Patients in such
cases sometimes hypnotize themselves
into the belief that they are stricken
and simulate what they suppose to be
hydrophobia symptoms. They may
even die in their terror and agony.
Hydrophobia in man is an exceed-
ingly rare disease, Even in a city so
great as New York we have to go back
half a century to find in the case of
Ada Clare one which attracted so
much attention as that of Mr. Marsh.
The average citizen stands a thousand
times greater chance of falling out of a
window while asleep or being hit by a
dislodged sigo-board than he does of
dying by hydrophobis. Even in cases
of dog-bite the real danger is usually
blood-poisoning or lockjaw, uot rabies,
So in dogs themselves the disease is
not very common, The upjustly sac-
cused may be a homeless and ailing
cur suffering for want of water, in
which case the community is served
by despalching him. If a household
pet is taken with fits which alarm the
ueighbors a homely remedy is to tie
him id a eocol place, with no food but
plenty of water, until he recovers.
In any event the ** mad-dog scare
is pure folly, utterly baseless except iv
the millionth case, and even theu it
adds to the danger.

‘God's will done; God bless you

“After all, God Is very good” The

When the Nose Bleeds, |
When the nose is bleeding never hold
it over a bagin or hold the head down
in any way. This only causes further
rush of blood to the broken tissues In
the nose. The head should be held up
and back, the flow being caught In
handkerchiefs or cloths. One of the
most effective and simple means of
checking a nosebleed is to press on
the upper lip. Near the undersurface
of the lip runs the artery that supplies
the interior nasal passages where the
ruptures occur. If this Is pressed, the
flow of blood Is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
