HYDKOPHOBIA, LYSSA OB BABIES IN ANIMALS. 



Genekal Descbiptios.— Thu disease was described by Aristotle 

 S32bo. He regarded it aa a disease communicated to" doge and 

 other animals by the bite of n rabid animal causing a fatal disease. 

 He did not regard tbe disease aa communicable by man. Celsua 

 also described hydrophobia. 



This disease is said to prevail chiefly among animals of the dog 

 tribe— as the dog, wolf, fox, hyena, jackal— often as an epizootic. It 

 is an acute, infections disease, characterized by a disturbance of the 

 functions of the nervous system ; it has no grosa pathological changes, 

 and perhaps no minute onus, and has a long and extremely variable 

 period of incubation. Tbe mottries morbi is unknown, but it is 

 probably only coinmuniculed by infection, the virus must come in 

 contact with thu broken skin or mucous membrane. 



HYDBOPHOEU \ MISKOMEll FOll Tnii MADNESS OF ANIMALS. 



Suica rabid dugs aud other animals have no dread of water, the 

 term hydrophobia is inapplicable to thorn, and should be abandoned, 

 as Fleming, iu his well-known and classical work on rabies and 

 hydrophobia, has very properly insisted. 



It is equally true that real "aversion to water, though a prom- 

 inent symptom, will not serve to distinguish the human disease. 

 Hydrophobia baa been observed in various nervous affections, and 

 where no susii-ionwas entertained that the person had been bitten 

 by a rabid amiral. as, for example, in a case of brain disoaae from 

 cysticercus. I'haryugial and larjugiul spasms, on the other hand, 

 are rs rally regarded a< the mo-t characteristic phenomena. Yet 

 while the word hydrophobia is unsatisfactory, even iu its application 

 t j the human form of the disease, it lias a certain popular recog- 

 nition wbiub perhaps makes it iuadvisable to recommeud a change 

 at present, especially aa the nature of the disease is still imper- 

 fectly understood. 



WAX BABIES HAVE A SPONTANEOUS OEIOIN. 



Spontaneous hydrophobia is entirely unproved. Still it is 

 believed by many authorities that it 19 possible to animals 

 Of the canine tribe. The causes assigned are intense 

 heat or cold, deprivation of water, the habits engendered 

 by artificial method iu domesticated life ; unsatisfied sexual appe- 

 tite, and iuherited aavagenesa or viciousness, as in certain breeds 

 may be found, Although the majority of observers have given 

 in their adhesions to the view that canine rabies is always com- 

 municated by a bite (especially such authorities aa Blaine," Yowatt 

 and ueynell). Fleming aud Sir Joseph Fahrer, are inclined to agree 

 with Tardieiu' aud Bouley, aud regard this point as worthy of fur- 

 ther inquiry. Fleming asserts that 1he possibility of a spontane- 

 ous origin is unassailable, adducing iu support of his opiuiou the 

 subjoined reasons given by Boucher— namely, the marked inter- 

 mission 111 its manifestations at different geographical centres, its 

 regular propagation from each centre, themultiplioitv of cases at 

 certain epochs of very short duration, contrasting strikingly with 

 their rarity at other times ; the intervals between the outbreaks, 

 which are longer than the period of incubation of the virus ; the 

 small number of cases compared with the crowds of wandering 

 dogs ; the difficulty of explaining by contagion alone the mainte- 

 nance of the disease in every region after long interruptions. Nat- 

 urally to the coutagOTiists. who are now aTe iu tbe groat majority, 

 these reasons appeal insignificant Many of them would apply 

 equally well to the spread of small-pox or syphilis. Though each 

 contagious disease must at some time have had its origin de novo, 

 no one would think of asserting that they ever have a spontaneous 

 origin at the present time. But to take up "the more important state- 

 ments : The intermissions in tbe disease are explained by the fact 

 that epedemi's ore more or less self-limited, even if, as in mauy 

 cases, the wholesale slaughter of dogs and the strict surveillance 

 of all others did no r crush out the disease. Then agaiu the inter- 

 missions may have been apparent, aa "dumb rabies" occurs not in- 

 frequently where its existence ia not suspected. Finally the dura- 

 tion of incubation is very variable, aud may in exceptional iuatances 

 be several months aud perhaps longer, probably long enough to 

 fiU up the apparent "intermissions " between the'outbreaks. It is 

 not a disea-e of douiisticaled life, as it prevails in the East where 

 animals roam at large. Nor does poor feeding produce it, as ex- 

 periments havB shown. As to unsatisfied sexual desires, castrated 

 dogs are as liable to the disease as any others, and again the total 

 number of mad dogs is divided between the two sexes in a ratio 

 nearly equivalent to the numerical relation of the two sexes. 



Iu wild animals to whom the sexnul appetite is deuied during 

 confinement ; hydrophobia is not known. Nor will tbe bite of an 

 angry dog always produce hydrophobia, as the evidence of almost 

 eveiy one will demonstrate. 



TO BE CONTINUED. 



BABBIT HUNTING WITH BEAGLES. 



TT is very evident, judging from the increased number of entries 

 -*- in the beagle aud dachshund classes at the different bench 

 shows lately held in this country, that as feathered game is becom- 

 ing more scarce in the neighborhood of cities sportsmen who are 

 not able to make prolonged trips from business a*e turning then 1 

 attention to bare or what is commonly called rabbit huutiug with 

 these busy little dogs. Iu some of the articles I have read on this 

 description of shooting one would believe their exists iu the 

 Easteru, Middle and more northern Southern States — uainolv, 

 Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, two varieties of the common 

 rabbit, haro or cotton tail— the ordinary gray rabbit, Lepus eytva- 

 ticus— aud, as some have told me, a variety smaller than the for- 

 mer, fond of marshes, "very swift on foot ; mailing long runs 

 when started from her form, aud plainly distinguished hy its 

 small, black feet." Never having came acorss such a marsh rabbit 

 in my shooting trips, yet often having killed lepus syluuticus after 

 she had been run into marshy ground from higher country, 1 have 

 lately made inquiry on the subject, aud still fad to secure' inform- 

 ation that would warrant belief in the existence of a march hare 

 with us. 



Audubon mentions the swamp hare, Lepus aqunticus, which is 

 fond of wet woods, a triile larger than our gray rabbit, and with 

 cars a little lunger ; but be gives the State of Alabama as Ha most 

 northern and eastern limit. The swamp hare takes to water 

 readily when pressed. Our gray rabbit will not, and rather winda 



The same naturalist describes also the marsh hare, Lepus palm- 

 iris, of the Southern States much smaller than the gray rabbit, and 

 more of arufuscoior than the swamp hare. The marsh hare he 

 says is never found north of the t'aiolinas, is a very poor runuer, 

 having short logs, and will take to water, swimming with ease even 

 when not pursued. Neither the swamp hare nor the marsh hare 

 as Audubon describee them can bo the marsh hare which I am told 

 of. 



I am aware there are other varieties of the hare in the United 

 States, notably in the Eastern States iu the more elevated regions — 

 the Northern hare which turns white in winter— but we do not 

 commonly find him, end he is not often hunted. Likewise the 

 jack rabbit aud other Western varieties ; but whatl wish to arrive 

 at is, Does there exiBt, and do we, with beagles, hunt in the New 

 England, Middle or more northern of the Southern States— name- 

 ly, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia— any other cotton tail than 

 Lepus sylvattcux or the common gray rabbit ? I think not, «.nd 

 these "marsh hares" of Maryland and Delaware are 110 more or 

 less than our own Pennsylvania cotton tail, lepus sylealicus.

SLIPS.— Mr. Wm. Locffler, well known aa a breeder of dachs- 

 hunds, writes ua that be has removed from St. Louis to Preston, 

 Minn., and intends making his home there. Ho also states that 



the prospects are fine for prairie chicken and quail shooting 



Mr. T. M. Aldrich haa five very good dogs on hand. The Con- 

 necticut laws do not give Tom a chance to shoot woodcock over 



them Mr. W. Talimau is teaching riding in Providence, in 



addition to dog handling The Providence boyB have soured on 



"the same old gang" that run the field trials, and it is niuikely 



but wbei 



that they will Bbow up this year. This will give outsiders a chance 



to get in their fine work Mr. Clarence K. Drane has lost by 



death his imported Llewelliu setter dog Lofty.... A little girl, 

 named Ida May Drayton, who lived on Jersey (jitv Heights, died 

 on Sunday of hydrophobia, after suffering most terribly. ' The 

 child was very fond of dogs, and uufortuuatelv could not resist 

 the temptation to pat every strange one that came in her way. 

 On June 5 she stopped 111 the street to pat a small black and tan, 

 and he sprang at her face and bit her nose and lip. The wounds 

 received medical attention, aud iu a few days healed and were for- 

 gotten. No one imagined that the inj uriea inii icted upon the child 

 would develop into a terrible case of hydrophobia- So they did, 

 — on Friday morning last. She asked for a glass of water. 

 it was brought to her she « eut into convulsions. The 

 treatment" was adopted, but all efforts proved unavail- 

 ing, and on Sunday morning death kindly brought her sufferings 

 to an end. We cannot too earnestly wain Ell parents not to let 

 their little ones handle strange dogs at any 1 in-: .TO" Pn •T-.-.v- 

 ornment of Newark, N. J , has appropriated 4:1,000 for the estab- 

 lishment of a dog pound Every city and town iutheconutry 



should have a dog pound, as there are thousands of worthless 



curs that are only fit to be drowned The placing of uncovered 



swill barrels iu the streets is one way of establishing lunch routes 

 for the large army of caniue tramps. 



BABBISTEE AND LANDLADY.— These are the names of the 

 twoSussex spaniels recently imrorted bv Mr. §. P.Magouo, of this 

 city, from the kennels of Mr. A. W. Langdale. Mr. Magouu in- 

 forms us that the dogs arrived in good Condition, and iu appear- 

 ance justify what Mr Langdale writes about them, which is as fol- 

 lows: " They are a grand brace of pups and must do yon some 

 good. The great point is not having a white hair on'them and 

 being straight coated. As to their antecedents, I beg to say that 

 they are both from one litter and were whelped September 16,' 1880. 

 and are bred by me by my celel inner! champion Sussex dog Law- 

 yer, winner of first prizes a. the following shows: Crystal Palace. 

 Manchester (Pomona), Manchester (Belle Vue), Boston, avd eup 

 for best spaniel Brentwood, and eup for best spaniel Stratford, 

 Northampton, Hull, Norwich, Bristol. Darlington, and v.h.c. at 

 this last t'rystal Palace show. His pedigree ia uocoitaiu, but he 

 gets whole colored stock from part colored Intones, so that looks 

 like there being no stain in his Blood. The dam is rnv Ladvgirl, a 

 liver bitch with white frill, second prize winner at 'Cirencester, 

 18E 0, under Mr. Lort, the only time she was shown. I should, be- 

 fore exhibi iug the dog puppy, get hint thoroughly accustomed to 

 be led out, aa neither of them have been much on the chain. They 

 will do far best loose, when at home. As to the names I think 

 you could not do bettor than call the dog 'Barrister,' being by 

 Lawyer, and the bitch ' Landlady.' She is a little on the small 

 size, but that ia all iuyour favor.' Cross her, wheu about eighteen 

 months or two years, with a dog of the Benedict stamp, and you 

 will get some grand black cockers from her." 



FASHION VS. USEFULNESS.— Tn toy and fancy breeds the 

 scale of points by which dogs are judged w dependent upon fash- 

 ion or taste, butit should not be so with Sportrug dogs. We have 

 more reliable means of judging what is tie correct srze and shape 

 for them. In grejhouuds, for instance, coursing matches have 

 taught uswhat is the host form for speed. All experienced sports- 

 men kuow, too, what is the best form for pointers and setters, 

 though, on account of the variety of work required of them, the 

 scale of points should allow for variations in style. Spaniels are a 

 breed that arc likely to suffer by fauciers allowing points of beauty 

 to interfere with those of usefulness. Another thing to be con- 

 sidered iu regard to them is, that some varieties that are suitable 

 for Eughsh work are by no means desirable iu this country. There, 

 bow-legged, heavy dogs, such as Clumbers, are often useful, partly 

 because they have to retrieve heavy game, but I do uot think many 

 American sportsmen would be bothered with them. I would not 

 myself take a gift of a spaniel, big or little, that was not of the 

 Iudiarubher ball type— I mean one that is exceediugiv active and 

 strong. 1 have 'owned some, not much over twenty pounds 

 weight, that would follow my hunting-wagon fully twenty miles in 

 a day, in addition to hunting and retrieving, without being oyer 

 tired*. Such a dog as the first prize field spaniel (Benedict) at the 

 last New York bench show, if bred to smaller aud compactly built 

 bitches, would be sure to produce pups of the right stamp, and his 

 color is not only fashionable but much more desirable than solid 

 liver, being more readily seen iu coyer.— Ibisx.

TWO FAMOUS DOGS SUPPOSED TO HAYS BEEN BITTEN 

 BY A HABID CUB.— Mr. Walker H. Heche, of this citv. informs 

 ua that both of his English setter bitches, Minn and Blue Bell, 

 well known on the bench as winners have been bitten by a dog 

 supposed to have been rabid. This unfortunate occurrence hap- 

 pened on Tuesday night one week ago at Mr. Bcebe's kennels at 

 Morris Plains, N. J. We sincerely trust that the biting eur may 

 belong to that large class of dogs supposed by many to be mad 

 when only suffering from fits and like disorders." However, proper 

 precautions are being taken, and should either of the bitches show 

 unfavorable symptoms from the bitiug, Mr. Beebe has promised 

 to place oue of them at our disposal, and we will spare no trouble 

 or expense to have the case watched and a comprehensive diagno- 

 sis given for the benefit of our readers.

168. J. W. B., Plttstou, Vass.— Your puppy Is suffering from a bad 

 case or mange. Avoid reeding meal, and keep him on cooling diet, 

 such as boiled rice, Indian meal and well cooked vegetables. A little
