Tula muiillng of dogs In hot weather Is supposed by many Intelligent persona to be a protection of the people .from th terrible disease hydrophobia. It Is. however, a superstition bom of an Ignor ant age and kept alive by th sgnoranc and credulity of th mussea, for th "dog day" of summer hav absolutely no relation to mad dogs, or the development of hydro phobia. ... Blrlus, , or th Dog star, th moet bril liant of the fixed star and th larreat In th constellation of Canls Major, or th Great Doc, received It name from Slrls, on of the Egyptian appellation of the river Nile, because It helical risln (I. e. Just before aunt-lae) gave warning that th overflow of th river was about to com mence, and th so-called "dog days" of summer aa reckoned by th ancient were forty In number, twenty before and twenty after the helical rising of the Dog Star. The rising of th Dog Star was tgnorantly supposed to b th occasion of th ex treme heat and of th dlseaaea Incidental to these days. It waa by mere accident that the rising of th Dog Star coincided with th hottest season of the year In time and countries of the old astronomer. The time of Its rising depends on th lati tude of th place, and I later and later every year In all latitude, owing to th procession. In tune the star will rise In the winter, and th almanac mark "dog day" In January Instead of August Hydrophobia la a dims of th nervous system of man Induced by a poison from soma member of the canine or feline race, aa th dog, wolf, fox, jackal or cat, which may or may not hav rame at th tlm. Mr. Mason' biindl terrier Prince did not develop rabies, though McCormlck died of hydrophobia from hi bit In N4w Tork In 1874. Th licking of a sore on a woman' fac by her lap dog caused hydrophobia, from which the woman died, but th dog had no rablaa. There la abundant evidence to prove that these animal need not be mad to cause hydrophobia. Whll th bit from a rabid animal I more poisonous, th fact ar that of twenty persona bitten, even by a rabid animal, only ons develops hydro phobia. Ilenc th reputation of th vaunted specific for hydrophobia. No doubt th mustllng or some dogs and th destruction of all vagrant dog during hot weather I meant for th people' good, but It la quit temporary In It operation, and during th remainder of th year leaves th community unguarded. It thus createa a false sense of security, and perhaps on that account may even be Injurious. More efficient protection would probably be af foMd by some method which should be In constant and regular operation throughout th year, especially If based upon a reaaon- ..rv IB I) O QCHOOL boy and girls need Scott's Emulsion.

It repairs and increases their vital powers. It uMm them to withstand the cold winds. V o in nitirr.im. ia. m efi abl knowledge of th disease and Its symp tom. Th principal danger of Infection from an animal consist In the fact that no one can tell whether the animal be oapable of Infecting or not, and also that people in general do not know a rabid dog when they see one, for they mistake other infections, as epilepsy, etc., which are com paratively harmless, for hydrophobia; but th disease Itself they do not recognise, because their diagnosis rests on their er roneous Ideas, vis: First, that a mad dog la only to be met with In hot weather, whereas abundant evidence, shows more dog go mad with rabies In winter than In summer; second, that th rabid dog la afraid of water and will not drink. This Is equally erroneous, for the rabid dog Is not afraid of water and will frequently drink when he haa an opportunity, and will, as dogs usually do, go Into a pond or stream and swim about and lap the water. Third, that th rabid dog I ferocious and aggressive. Abundant evidence show the rabid dog to be frequently kind and af fectionate, especially during the early stages. Another frequent and serious mistake I this: As soon as a vagrant dog has bitten anyone he first Impulse of the bystander Is to kill him. But when this has been don th only possible mean of knowing whether the animal, were really mad 1 lost and several months must elapse before th Injured person can be relieved of anx lety from this source. It is evident that uch a dog should never be killed at once, but shruld b secured and kept under ob servation for a few days, until his symp toms ar fully developed. In a large ma jority of cases It would turn out that the disease was not rabies.. The mussle is not a protection, for the dog must be unmux sled to be fed, and I of Itself a constant source of annoyance and worry to the dog, conditions, which. Ilk unktndne and ! ahiiu, m&ka vaarant doss easily develon rabies. What, then, shall be dona? Let all worthies dog be destroyed and th few valuable ones that remain hav their tusks, oanlne and Incisor teeth filed down from a point to a flat surface so that they will not penetrate, the unbroken skin. Thl I easily done, doe not harm the dog nor unfit him for any useful purpose. While not an Infallible protection, thl Is th best xpedlent known to scientific men at the present time and should b adopted by our city council rather than the useless. In jurious and foolish method of mussling now In us. I A. MERRIAM. U. D. MAGAZINE FOR THE BLIND Monthly Publicatioi to It Devoted to tin Uie of the EirktlsB.

MATILDA ZEIGLER'S GREAT WORK Notable Benefaction by New York Woaas Which Will Be of Immense Service to Mavny Unfortunate On of the most notable benefactions In the Interest of those deprived of their sight 1 th Matilda Zlegler Magaxin for the Blind, the first number of which haa re cently been Issued. Mrs, Matilda Ziegler, widow of the late William Zlegler of New Tork, 1 It founder and It 1 to be Issued free to the blind of the United States who can read either New Tork point or Braille Friends of Mrs.' Zlegler have prevailed upon her to let her nam be used In the title of the magaxin that the world may realise that thl great gift la from a woman. The magaxlne will be Issued monthly and It Is the intention of the publishers to make It of a character that will appeal to the greatest number of blind rather than to the very few literary, and yet b of Interest to all. The suggestion of Helen Keller that "the blind ar not specialists, Interested only in blindness," has been well regarded, and aside from mentioning special work being done by them and new lines of work being done for them, there will be as little mention as possible of blindness. Short stories, continued stories, the news of the month and letters from successful blind people, telling of various line of work In which they have been successful, con trlbuta to a most Interesting volume. A musical column Is to be added later. Prlated (. aider DlffieaUles. An Immense amount of work was entailed In collecting the names and addresses of the reading blind over the country, but the greatest problem was that of getting the printing done until a large press required for the work could be built, thl to take several month at least. But no sooner was the announcement of the project made than the American Printing House for the Blind at Louisville. Ky.. the largest plant of Its kind In this country, volunteered to do anything possible to assist. At the same time K. E.

The magaxlne will not be sent to blind students while in school, but will be sent to them at their homes during vacation and a number of copies sent to each school during the school year. As the expense of Issuing the magaxlne la necessarily great It Is requested that anyone receiving It and not caring for It, notify the publisher, Walter O. Holmes, 1931 Broadway, New York, that It may be stopped. It Is also requested that names of reading blind, not receiving the magaxlne, be sent to the pub lisher. While announced that the magazlno I free. It ha been necessary to charge a subscription price of 10 cents a year that It may be entered as second class matter In the postofflce. Otherwise the postage on each copy would be U cents, and the mail ing alone would be Increased $8,000 a year. Oeaesl of th Magaslae, The magaxlne had its Inception In a letter ent a year ago to the New York papers by Walter Q. Holmes, a newspaper man of Memphis, Tenn., who has a blind brother, In which article he commented upno the need of literature for the blind and the fact that the great cost of books place them out of reach of the great majority. Mrs. Zlegler, who has a blind son, was at tracted by the article and communicated with Mr. Holmes, th result being the magaxlne Just Issued. The first Issue was about 7,000 copies, the largest edition for the blind ever Issued. It la estimated that It will cost Mrs. Zlegler something over f3 a year for each copy she sends out, an the process of printing Is difficult and expen sive. The names of about (.000 blind read ers have been received and the magaxlne is being sent to them. In addition to these there are about 4,600 student norf In schools for th blind, and more In home for the blind and a certain number of copies will be sent to these. Mr. Holmes, who Is now manager of tha magaxlne, esti mate that 1300,000 will place a circulating library for the blind In every state In the union, and he would like to explain his plan to everyone Interested. The United States mail takes book for tha blind from a library and returns them free of charge. itructlon to com and lay his troubles be fore .us and we will do all In our power for him. If it Is consolation or advice he needs, it will be given, and if It Is finan cial aid, we will do what we can In that line.

Kler- stead. president of the Fifth Ward Im provement club, will urge the park com missioners to push the proposed Cut-OfT lake boulevard acheme. Plans for this boulevard have been approved by the board and the matter was allowed 'to rest daring the winter. North Omaha cltlsens will bring before the board the proposed bou!e-I vara east from Kountxe park and ask that this project be hurried along. "This Is certainly a matter in which every property owner In the north part of the city Is Interested," said a north end resident owner. ."But they do not realise it la necessary for each and every one of them to be present at the meeting to show the board they are Interested. Nothing win do as much to assure these Improve ments as a large, attendance of Interested property owner. The north end is lacking In securing improvements, only because of the indifferent attitude of realty owners Rlvervtew recently secured . large ap propriations from the board for the south end and there certainly are a many In fluential cltlxena Interested In th north end, but they won't turn out and even make a request of the board, like the cltlxena of other localities do.
