THE RARITY OF HYDROPHOBIA. It has been asserted by many friends of animals, whe rightly object to the annual torture and slaughter of dogs, and even by some physicians, that there is no such disease as hydrophobia, or rabies, as it is more correctly called
Those who have studied the subject carefully, however, are certain that there is a disease of dogs which is communicable by one suffering from it to other animals and to man,
But this disease is very rare, and probably not ond person in a thousand bitten by dogs is in any danger of it, and not ene dog killed among five hundred supposed mad dogs is really mad.
The word hydrophobia is a misnomer, for a mad dog has no fear of water, and will run through a shallow pool without the slightest hesitation the fear that of drinking water or of swallowing anything, either fluid or solid, as the attempt is almost certain to throw the sufferer, man or beast, into spasins.
The only way of transmitting hydrophobia is by inoculating; that is, by the introduction of the virus into the body through a wound of the akin or the mucous membrane.
The most usual way for this rare event to occur is, of course, through the bite of a rabid dog, cat, or other animal. But not every bite, even of a genuinely mad dog, is followed by hydrophobia. If the animal's teetli, for instan ce, have passed through a man's trouser leg or boot, the saliva, which contains the virus, may be wiped away from his teeth.

And yet, what have not seen the very limited, comparatively speaking, trade is there in timber. We may very pertinently ask the question: Why? We would next refer to the
fertility of the soil, the basis of agricultural wealth. In our last paper, we referred to the enormous yield of rice under the method of cultivation pursued by a Dyak tribe. We did not state the actual yield, but, if our memory does not betray us, it was some three hundred fold Such a yield is never dreamed of even in the rich flood-lands of Bengal. It is quite true that the Dyak method of cultivation-in the part we refer to was peculiar. But, we may enquire, has any attempt been made to com- parc, aystematise, and improve where needed, the modes that exist? And if not, why not? We cannot expect agricultural "farins" and colleges in Sarawak, but we can and do expect some intelligent superior direction for the mors ignorant tribes. To expect a native Dyak tribe to travel and live for months a hundred miles away among strangers to carry away agricul tural knowledge, is absurd. The Government must-ssist here; and the Government will find its reward in the increased wealth and prosperity of its subject, and its own increased wealth and prosperity. Besides, sice, tobacco, the most magnificent indigo, the like of which in size may not be seeivanywhere even in liengal, and a variety of ather valuable tropical produce, and also the best oranges on the higher ranges, may be grown--and why are they not?

At Kabul at present, according to Russian accounts, the Ameer is sanctioning a series of terrible murders, which confirm the impression that the Ameer has become insane. The last of the atrocities committed there had a high official for its victim. He legs were bound in two stakes of wood, which were fixed crosswise one upon the other. Then the woods were drawn upar until his body was torn in two. Two other officials, in high places, Mirza. Abdoul Halim and Mirza-Abdoul Hakim bound together and set on fire, and a Persian is alleged to have been thrown into a boiler And he remains thrown to the Ameer's dogs. In addition to these atrocities, reports are received of executions taking place every day. In consequence, an epominus number LORD DELAMERE, HUNTER AND Müller, O.

ABOUT SARAWAK.
(BY THE WRITER OF MEMORIES OF SARAWAK.)
Memories of Samwak of the olden time are very well in their way, but we live in a practical and commercial age, and wo, want something more substantial, some useful lesson or hints for the present day. Can these past recollec tions furnish us with such is there anything stated in them which links up with the present, or which may be found connected with it 7. Wa believe there are some few, and, if we devote a few lines to them, it is only what is expected of us. First, then, it was incidentally stated that Sarawak was rich in minerals, and that gems had been found in the western portion. In those days the Chinese were working, for gold In one part by thousand, and one company had stared working for coal and antimony, and had prospector" about, some of whose work we had the privilege of seeing. He is now long since deceased, and we do him no wrong
saying that his actual mineral knowledge was of the slenderest description, We had the proof of it, but that is not the point we would enlarge on. We would refer to the little that has been done since during the very long interval. States and Colonies have arisen since then, and have advanced to assured and leading po- sitions in mineral wealth; besides commercial progress. Our own Federated States even may be instanced. But, in Sarawak, the au timony remains where it was, and so, too, the gold. We are not quite sure that the latter ba not even fallen off. And yet, according to the native Malay legends-which have always a basis of truth-there are hearts of mountains full of gold-solid gold! And it was not a legend of old Duguid, the hard-headed, prac- tical Abordonian, and head of the Borneo Company In those days in Sarawak, that he narrated to us and others with whom even he would not have trifled with watering mouth,
EXPLORER.
That mighty hunter, Lord Delamere, is shortly leaving England for Mombasa, That his lordship anticipates no especial dangers on the trip is envinced by the fact that Lady Dela- mere and her sister, Lady Kathleen Cole, will accompany him.
The marriage, which will be remembered as a particularly pretty one, only took place a few weeks ago at St. Paul's, Knightsbridge.
Lord Delamere started on is first trip to Africa in 1891, and his was regarded as one of the most completely enquipped expeditions that ever left England. The dining tent was 18ft. long, and the dining table of, made so as to take when packed about as much room as three good-sized portfolios. Lord Delamere remained in Africa until nearly the close of 1894, his return being somewhat delayed by a fever he contracted on his way up country.
In the course of a two month stay in Soma. liland no fewer than 14 lions were killed, and their skins, sent home to be prepared by Mr. Rowland Ward. Two of the specimens, each of which measured over toft. in length, were exceptionally tine.
Again,-in-1996-Lord Delamere sought ad- venture in the Dark Continent, and passed be yond the limits usually visited by English sportsmen, accompanied by a doctor, a natural- ist, and a photographer, and had some 200 natives as a bodyguard. For some months nothing was heard of the explorer and hunter, and some fears were entertained for his safety, but finally a letter was received from a mis- sionary at Berbera, stating that he had received news that-Lord Delamere and Dr. "Atkinson were on their way thither trom the interior.
They had travelled from Zanzibar to the Lakes Rudolph and Stefanie, then turned aarth- ward toward the Upper Nile. Again striking eastward, they passed the southern borders of Abyssinia, through British Somaliland to the coast, and returned safely to England in Oct. 1898,
Vale Royal, Lord Delamere's seat in Chesh- ire, is an interesting building, being part of the ancient convent, to which additions were made by the Holcrofts. It is of red stone, and the great hall, 73ft. in length, is hung with armour and military weapons, and the windows contain the arms of Cheshire families.-Advocate of India,
