These talented musicians wore performing for the delectation of some res score gentlemen, guests for the ocea- n of the officers connected with the ritish Military Tournaz ent, and who, rider a spacious marquee, were enjoying e bounteous hospitality of the gallant sitars. cn Cherrypectoral B u taken for consumption, in its early th stages, checks further progress of vi. the disuse, and even in the later stages, it eases the distressing re cough and promotes refreshing ti seep.

Gl.tP To nn ex Tenths= THE MAD.LOG'S BITE• Terrible Death of a 7-year•ottt Boy, After Two nays 0r Agony. A Philadelphia, Pa., special says :—The bright 7 -year-old son of Joseph B. Je myn, of Oak luno, died yesterday morning of by drophobia, after eudurfug'untold agony for two days. The case is interesting from a medical point of view, because the child was said by the physicians to be too young to realize or dread the, effects of rabies, and imagination, they say; therefore, played no part in induc- tug the snappings and gutteral, dog -like sounds that accompanied the paroxysms.. The bite, which is supposed to have led be the child's agonizing death, was inflicted lost July, while he was playing with several children. ' He was passing the residence of Oliver MCMurtlaa when he espied through a wooden fence a dog whose tail had been amputated and the stump cauterized a short time before. The operation seems to have maddened the animal, which, during the morning of the same day, had killed a cat and several chickens. The boy called, the dog and it immediately jumped over Inc fence and attacked him.. He fought it, but before help arrived the beast had lacer- ated the left side of his head and torn the flesh from the forehead. A doctor was promptly summoned, and the dog was killed as soon as captured by Constable Moore. The wounds of the head and forehand were eaucerized, but were first carefully, washed with a cleansing 801011on, Those of .the head required a plastic operation to get the bleeding parts united, and about 10 stitches were put in the wound. The little fellow suffered much, but rallied after the operation, and in a comparatively few days was playing in the street in apparently geed health. Last Sunday night the boy's mother not- iced that he was feverish and nervous, 'De. MacDonald was summoned, from the pity, s nd he was horrified at the child's symp- toms. He diagnosed the ease as one of hydrophobia, but atthetime concealed his suspicions from the family. When the force of the virus began to exert itself on the nervous system the boy was thrown into convulsions, which were repeated at the sound of a footfall, of run- ning water, or the pressure of shawl on the bed clothing. His eyes dilated with fear, and he became the victim of a strange hal- lucination. Chloral and bromide of potass slum were administered and 'produced a soothing effect. Another physician was called in onIron- day, and agreed with Dr. Macdonald that the boy had hydrophobia in its primary stages, and that the virus had become so firmly seated in the system as to be beyond control. From then until yesterday one convulsion followed another, each becoming more violent than the one previous. Every sympton of the dreaded malady was present. The frothing et the mouth, tete muscular contractions at the throat, guttural sounds and the dilations ot the pupils of the eyes. Dr. liaeleoneld said yesterday that it was the saddest case that he had met with in his professional career, Between paroxysms the little sufferer was ratiunel, and pleaded with the doctors to give him relief. "Won't you do something forme? If you will make me well I will never be a bed boy. Won't you ask God to cure me this time ?" His mother consoled hint by saying that God watched over him and eared for him. This quieted him, and a short time afterward lie was dead. flooring of the stock building where the tournament was held is construetod of wood- en blocks over which tan bark was thickly spread to render it noiseless and easy for the horses. In the interstices between the blocks the peg had to find a resting place, Axn IT ILEQr.IRED even more care to touch and lift it titan it the ordinary turf was the arena. A crowd of admiring and confiding friends were on hand to hail their champion. Twice he cantered towards the peg and each time re- ceived guiding hints from myself and others. Then he settled himself for the gallop, and as he poised the lance I knew there would be a catastrophe, but my Great fear was fat my horse—yet he rode well. In poising he brought the rear end of the lance antler the arm, his elbow being close to the side, and as he stooped even a tyro could sea that if he missed the peg the point of the lance must tape the ground and there could be only one result. He dipped too soots, the point was embedded in one of the blocks and in a second the rider was shot out of the saddle like a rocket, and presently lay in a bruised heap on the tau bark, from which he was carried away by his friends. We heard oceastonally that he was doing well." "s cannot describe to you onrfeelings at I r, lie recenti :n given to us in this city," he said. "Com?ng after our Chicago experience is it was more than a. pleasure. It makes ane proud to be a British subject when here, three thousaud miles from and one finds a .oyaity as deep rooted, I e, a� nduring, as any to be found in the empire. only wish our stay in Toronto could have ween prolonged."

"Then I expeet you were asked to help' them out on the 411i of July." "Indeed we were, bat our willingness was not quite So marked. We drew the line there, but did not give them a direct negative. An incident of that occasion will serve better than anything else to show what these Chicago people are. TOO SMART EY HALF. "To better celebrate their Independence Day they desired British soldiers to partici- pate, fire a feu de joie and a royal salute of 21 guns. Cool, wasn't it? A day or two before the event a member of one of their militia regimeuts, an Englishman born, called at our mess and informed -d us private- ly that they were going to perpetrate one of their smart tricks to humiliate us and glorify themselves. Be thought that if an officer went to the committee rooms die- guised as a civilian lie would easily pass in the crowd and learn the plot.. I went my- self and soon found out that their plan was to have abig Union Jack flying from one of the flag poles of the Stock building where the tournament was held and on another their own flag rolled into a hall. Believing that we were agreeable to their programme, it was decided that when our salute of 21 gnus was fired two men on the roof were to manipulate the flags. One TO none DOWN THE ret0x JACK, while the other was to shake out the triumphant Stars and Stripes. The pretty idea, however, did not wotk. We did not assist is the celebration, and six burly Grenadier Guardsmen were posted on our bui'ding with fixed bayonets, who would will?.ugly have done their duty had anyone attempted to lay a finger on the Union Jack." " Was there any hostile demonstration on that account?" "No, I think they realized they had gone far enough, but the incident serves to show the material of which Chicago citizens are made. Now, in New York, where we go after our Montreal visit, our treatment will be little leas cordial than that WE HAVE RE',EIVED I:t 0,V4rAD.1.

A Berlin, special says t—The suicide of a private in a guard's regiment in Potsdam has revived public discussion of bullying andabtise in the army. The private was the victim of his corporal, whose inhuman practices he described in a note left ,for his family. The Vorwaerts, organ of the social de•. ntoeracy, is quick as usual to tura the in cident to its own account. Ina long leader it directs attention to the fact that the 11 year-old Crown prince commands the half company to which the dead private belong. ed,and therefore, according to military law, is answerable for the whole affair. The Crown prinee ought to be court-martialed, says the Vorwaerts, and condemned to rigorous arrest for several months. He must not be allowed to escape punishment on aceouut of his youth, thinks the social denim:ratie editor, for, if too young to bear the blame, he would be too young also to cominaud, Finally the Vorwaerts appeals to the emperor to car.y out Ms scrupulous regard for military law and let his oldest son fare as would any young lieutenant under similar conditions. Aocial demo- cratic reporter, whose account of the suicide appears in the Vorwaerts, says that every effort was made in Potsdam to keep the suicide secret andthat the body was flurried under ground without even a pretence of religious services. The Radical journals say that the whole affair is but another proof of the need that the procedure of the Prussian military tribunal should be re- formed. This procedure dates back to 1545. It is secret and hence is the source of endless abuses. In Bavaria an official report published on Wednesday shows that in 1502 privates in the Bavarian army complained of seventy Hoa -commissioned officers and eight coni- tnessioned officers. The subjects of .the complaints were, as usual, physical vio- Ieace and abusive language. All the com- missioned officers and the majority of the non-commissioned officers were found guilty and were punished. Bavaria is the only German state in which military procedure is public. y •a: tea: r', • for Infants and Children.

Sleep is regarded as a rest to the nervone system, whose powers have been expended and made weak by their exertion. As they are generally used to a greater extent during the day, it follows that becoming overtax- ed, the nervous system requires a rest, hence it is that the night time is the period selected to give the system the needed rest. The mere feet that night -,ht-. is the time e gener- ally selected by people in which to sleep, has nothing to do with the human constitu- tion, for there is really no connection be- tween the two, excepting'that it is easier to fall asleep in the dark than iu the daylight. If everyone worked during the night they would require the following period to rest their faculties and as a consequence the day would be selected as the time to sleep. That sleep is simply the result of a need- ed rest -to the system Is proved by the fact that a person can arise from a long sleep and apply himself to such hard and steady work for a short period, that the feeling of .requiring another sleep is conscious before night-time, Were sleep to be induc ed entirely by the occurrence of the great terrestrial. phenomena that causes night, the residents in the arctic regions where the day and night are each six months' long. would be inclined to' sleep for a period of half a year while the darkness xei g ns w hich however, is not the ease. In the same way, people who are =duty all night, or perform their usual work atthat time and conclude it at early morning, would be forced to go without any:sleep at all if the period of sleep was intimately connected with the night-time. ° OPPOSITE EFFECTS. The Bruges Ship Canal. lolovements are being made for the com- mercial rehabilitation of the old towit of Bruges in Belgium. Bruges was at one time the commercial center of Europe, or words the World. I the in other n h bh century the " City of Bridges "attained the height of its prosperity and then gradually 1 Y began a wonderful decline which reduced the capital city of West Flanders, the auto - era[ of commerce, to a third rate provincial town. Bruges enjoys an immortal celebrity in the history of art, for in the fine old city oil painting had, its origin. Bruges was connected with the sea by canals which' were blocked up by the Antwerpers until Bruges lost her prestige. The quainb old city is to be roused from its lethargy and restored once more to the world as a maritime mart. A ship canal will connect the now deserted' canals with the sea. The town has voted a subsidy of 2,000,000 francs to aid in the work. From an msthet- ls point of view the canal will entail a loss, as it will be difficult to retain all the pic- turesque features of the quaint old Fleish, city of which Longfellow sang sorbeautifully.

During the first hour the intens ty acreases rapidly ; it then decreases in the same way for a few minutes, and afterwards decreases slowly for three or four hours and then more, slowly still, until a person gradually awak- ens. If the sleep is very deep on the start it will last longer than if there is little in- tensity at the beginning. As a person gra lually regains conscious- ness the various faculties return,. and as one af ter another obtains strength they influence µ„ the mind of the sleeper, and it is this that causes a person to dream. The awaking faculties mould the flow of images in the mind of a sleeper, and itis generally exter- nal causes which give the colorto the dream. In this way a loud sound, a cold current of air or a familiar voice are often sufficient to cause an impression ou the mind ; and once started on a line ot thought all manner of strange fancies are woven around it. It is often the case that a dream is. caused by some event which has happened during the day; and it is not [=frequent that a person will remember upon awakening, the connection between the dream and the oc- currence. It is seldom, however, that a long person can remember the dream after he As fully wide awake. From the moment one opens the eyes, the dream seems to disap- pear from memory faster and faster, until the very act of thinking appears to be the cense of its eradication,, Often cvill it happen that the sleeper imagines he has had the same dream before, and it is possible, the writer holds, that one common action has produced the same train, of thought at two different times. Thus if the mind is in' a blank state while one is asleep and the same incident is brought to the mind of the sleeper by any cause what- ri ever on two different nights, the ideas pro- duced or the thoughts revived must neces- sarily eces sadly be niece[ adeutioal, for there can be nomodifications produced by what is termed a blank or passive sive mind.p .A:nothercurious thing about dreams is that a person has -never been able to say that his dream has been a definite one in regard to time or space. As these two -at- tributes are judged only by comparison with our own standards of spacetime and time, it follows that the 'dream is always taking place in an ideal world where, thereis, no extension or boundaries to either space or time; and that the mind during sleep is always deficient in the quality of comparing things -with natural objects. But sleep his not always restful. The t.a time regularale is and e • u he usual healthy Y sleep a rase obtain the faculties hen w afeces all and are relax. The pulse becomes less fre- quent ; the respiratory movements are fewer. in number and confined to those parts nearer the throat than the lungs ; the secretions through the respiratory glands are diminish - r i ed, and rho -eyes, muscles, brain and most of the senses are inactive. When, on the other hand, a person'ssleep is not of a ` healthy character, the required'rest is not obtained. Ina sleep of this character, the mind is not at rest, and that is one of the greatest losses in acquiring a perfect sesta Take the case of a man who has worked ked hard at calculations duringthe day.'
