New Facts About Their ladnessâ€"A (‘at Blte Harder- to Tress Than That eta Dog. An epidemic in Paris of “enraged oats,’ as the French call them, has called forth some interesting statements from Dr Cnaillou, the director of the antirabls staff at. the Pasteur Institute in that city,whsro from 1,500 to l,800 persons bitten by mad animals are treated annually. “Contrary to the popular belief," he says, "cats go mad frequently, and about 5 per cent. of the cases we treat are caused by bites in- flicted by them. Horses and other domestic . cattle are rarely subject to madness. "The bites of cats which have gone mad are generally serious and difficult to treat for two reasons. First, the teeth of the cat are fine and sharp, and the wounds they make are deep, introducing the virus into the system thoroughly. The dog, on the other hand, has larger. blunter teeth, which tear rather than penetrate. Cauterization is excellentifdone immediate- ly, in the case of a dog bite, but when the wound is caused by a cat’s teeth it is im- possible to cauterize more than the edges, while parts below the surface remain impregnated with the virus. “In the second place,the dog bites at the hands or legs of the person he attacks, and not often at the face, while the cat almost always attacks the face first, for it can jump more easily, and clings with its claws to the clothing. Bites in the face are much more dangerous because of the proximity of the point of entrance of the virus to the nerve centres, it having a much shorter distance to traverse than if ll) entered the body through a wound upon the legs or arms. "One thing which makes a out much more dangerous when it goes mad is that it seems to become furious and attacks what- ever it sees, while a dog frequently will crouch in a corner and seem to be subject to a sort of partial paralysis.” Among cuts, another authority says in- sanity is probably most frequently brought about by indigestion, which causes a deodorant .. - . - - .

The reason they have convulsions more fre- quently in hot weather is that the heatof the direct rays of the sun is especially difficult say that the Japanese use about 50,000,000 for them to endure. The Angora cat is the species most likely to become mentally disordered, for it is continually making its toilet and swallows a great many of its long hairs, which form in a ball in its stomach and cause cerebral congestion. This has been established by a number of autopsies which have been made upon this variety of feline. Cause of Red Noses. It is stated by the Popular Health Mag' azine that “redness of the nose" is caused by indigestion, not intemporance. The remedy, it is stated, is to “abstain from over-indulgence in fats and sweets." This dictum will be appreciated by many worthy people whose noses are unduly rosy. For I Good cotton undersliirts are sold in Japan . e - ' - I . , ,. ‘ . are the have been mis lid ed b irrev- ‘removed “0m the dom‘nn 0f Inacm‘al l for Séc a dozen, and cotton umbrellas are y y 1 g y l surgery than the investigation of lib-l on the market, at, $2.60 a. dozen. erent senders who did not scruplo to ascribe the nasal tint to excersive imbibitions. Now science comes to their relief. It is “fats and sWeets” than make the trouble, cousin indigestion,which produces a rush of blood to the nose. Some persons given to alchol- io stimulants do indeed have red iioses,but the redness is stomachic, not alcoholic. The “fire-water" may “burn out one’s coppers," and thus indirectly produce the luminous proboscis, but its owner is now in a position to assert that it is an error to say “drinking did it." ‘ “A Kiss or Your Life.” Good-looking women recently passing through the main street of Moutrcuil, outâ€" side I’aris, were subjected to unpleasant attentions by an amorous lunatic. Tlii person went about brandishing a dagger. and when he saw a pretty woman he asked her for a kiss or her life. Some of the astonished females so addressed complied with the madmuu’s request, and were al- lowed to goon their way Without further molestation. A few strong-minded ladies, taking the lunatic to be a practical joker, told him in emphatic language to go away, and they had narrow escapes from being stabbed. The maniac, whose antics drew a large crowd, was finally captured by means of a heavy coal sack, which was thrown over his head by a shopman. I Not Hampered by Style.
