I recently met a gentleman of high ed ucational attainments, who stated that, in bIx years' resilience in tho East Indies, ho had known of threo severe cases of hydrophobia, and that each case was permanently cured. Tho means used was to take thu patient to a pool or t ream of water, plunge him in and al low him to just about drown and then resmcitato him him. In each caso, as before stated, a permanent curo was effected. - "W. T. G." in Scientific American. How Clowns "Miihn Up." How do clowns make up their faceal I will tell you.

Uplctctua. Six hundred thousand Frenchmen own hares in the Panama canal CAPTURING A SWORDFISH. A Vicious Slonstcr, Ilolnr; Wounded I'lerces n Itlock Inland Host. A man stands on a little platform in front of tho bow armed with n harpoon having a sharply nnd deeply barbed point, so that in piercing tho fish, if it goes in far enough, it cannot bo easily got out, let the fish be as ugly as ho may. Tho iron is so arranged, in connection witli n ole and cord, that tho cord can le detached from the linitKxm, the polo pulled back, and the harwon left firmly fixed in the now maddened fish tho line, a very strong rope, UOO feet long, being fast to the iron and the other end secure on tlio vessel. This end is imme diately fastened securely to an empty barrel, which is then thrown overboard, and it marks tho course and position of tho enraged fish. It also enables tho vessel to send out a life boat to haul iu, tire out and, if pos sible, capture the ugly fellow. And ugly ho is. if he is a young fish. If ho is old and heavy, ho is much quieter even wiili a harpoon in him. It is tho younger, livelier fellows that are so full of ugly courage that attack and kill whales, and attack, indeed, pretty much everything in the ocean, unless it may bo the sea serpent and the devil fish. That they will attack a man, even a bather, who is in water not over his head, and kill him, too. uuIcms he can inalco wonderful time in getting into shallower water, was proved a few years ago in tho case of a young Catholic priest who was attacked w hilo bathing on the California shore, in water just above his hips; ho was fearfully gashed and nearly killed lx;fore he could get ashore. Sometimes, iu its fury at being harjiooned. it rushes at the small boat and thrusts its ugly sword up through tho Iwat's bottom. Woo to the man it hits! Our hnrpooner fastened to a fish that was secured, ns it happened, with littlo trouble, though the harpoon only pene trated a llttlo way into his big carcass. Ho proved to be 10 feet 5 inches long, and weighed undoubtedly -liO pounds. Much larger ones have been caught, but rarely. Wo also secured two others, not bo large. And it was with tho second ono that there was an exciting time. Il6 proved to bo "a young man" among his fellows, and an ugly young fellow, too. Having him well harpooned, and tho barrel going dancing at n great rato against the wind for it is a curious and hitherto unrelated fact that a swordfish, when harpooned, always rushes off to windward the life lxat put out to securo him after duly "playing" him. In it went a Block Islander lelonging to tho vessel, nnd two courageous passengers. By tho time they reached tho barrel, they were a mile from tho vessel, and could bo seen, with a glass, pulling in on tho lino. They worked tho fish a good while. When a swordfish, finding himself har pooned and hopelessly held, really gives up tho fight, ho suddenly turns and goes to leeward. The men at tho lino under stand what that movement means. They were still "playing" this fellow, nnd ex hausting him, when, having several times had him hauled iu close to tho , boat, so that his blue llguro was dis , tinctly visible, and as often permitted him lo go 100 feet off or more, some; , tiling happened which caused the captain of tho steam yacht a nulo off, looking through his glass! to exclaim: "They're iu troublol ho has struck tho boat!" and to order an instant start for them. Ho was none too soon. Tho enraged llsh, withdrawing bonio sixty feet, had made ono of those arrowliko rushes upon the boat, which can be equaled iu its j velocity by no other llsh in tho sea. The sword pierced the bottom of tho boat a littlo one side of the keel, near tho center j coining up nearly two feet. Fortu nately men havo learned ero now not to sit down in a boat engaged in hauling in a swordtlsh. By standing (as well ns they can) their feet present a smaller ' surface, nnd hence a diminished chaneo ' of being hit. Last year ono man's loot heel was partly hit, knocking him head long. i In tho present instance ono of tho men had a narrow escape of hardly ten inches. But tho men wore saved. Indeed, the ' boat, Iwing a shell lifeboat, would hardly havo sunk, although it was already half full of water and tho men hard at work baling when tho steam yacht reached them. The vicious llsh was repeatedly lanced through tho head and neck till ho got comparatively quiet, when, in haul ing him up (lie side, with tho harpoon ' purchase at tho shoulder and thu long 1 grappling hook at the tail, a slipknot was successfully got over his wide forked tail I nnd then wo had him. But for this last grip ho would havo turned tho boat over. But tho way ho lashed tho sea 1 with that tail was a caution. Hartford Times. Another Curo for liuoimiliv. "So many cures for have Ihmjii advo cated for sleeplessness that I am tempted," writes a correspondent, "to propound my own recijx?, which, if it may appear bomowhat impracticable and far fetched, has nt least tho advantage of simplicity. It is merely this: When you havo tumbled and tossed nbout one bed until your pillow seems to bo on your bheels red hot, turn into in: tiro and your blieels rw I hot, turn tnto another i mean another IhhI. You will find tho Bheets and tho pillow refreshingly cool, and it is probable at all events that you , will go to sleep. Tho recipe is not in i fallible, nnd it is of course necessary to . havo another bed to turn into, which is . not nlways ixsible. But when practica ble it is worth trying: and if it fails ono can always fnll hack on tho undoubted fact that there is no universal curo for bleeplessness. What ia ono man's meat is another man's poison." Pall Mall Budget. lining tho I'lnger Null.
