"The most terrible death a man can die," said the doctor after he had re- turned from the bedside of a little boy who had been bitten 'by a rabid dog. "The thirst is intense—beyond imag- ination; his tongue Is swollen to twine its size and hanging out of his mouth— yet he can't take a drop of water; his , throat is paralyzed, and the sight of,a drink' produces choking and a paroxysm of the muscles used in swal- lowing, which no human being could look at without pity. And the tragedy is that there is no help under heaven for it, once the disease develops." I The boy had been bitten by a rabid Idog; unfortunately his parents had de-' layed too long in getting the lad treat- s meet to prevent hydrophobia, and it was impossible to save his life.

During a thunderstorm at Sheffield a man standing near a place which was struck by lightning lost his speech, says an English writer. At Fakenham, in Norfolk, a soldier who had lost his speech atter shell- shock in the war suddenly recovered it while he was plying his trade as a house -painter. His ladder lu'rchhed, and with' an . "Oh!" of fright, his speech came back. Not the cleverest investigator of the brain can te10 us the wily and where- fore of such happenings, but can only say that the mechanisen by which the brain, or partsof the brain, directs the throat, the tongue, the palate, the lungs, to fulfil their duties in giving ut- terance to spoken sounds" is infinitely more complicated than the works of a watch Youthful Philosophy. The little sister had not been well, and had been particularly trying to little Tommy, her brother, all the day. Finally the young .man's patience came to an abrupt end. "Mother," he asked, "don't you want Doroty to be a good wife like you when she grows up?" "Of course," said his mother, "Well, youmake me give everything 'to her 'cos she's littleree me: But you're littler'n father, and when he comes home you say, 'Here's your elip- pers and magazine, dear.' " And before his mother could move Tommy tore his railway train from the screaming baby. "If we don't begin to train her she'll be a terrible wife," he remarked as he slammed the door.
