How CATS OFTEN SPREAD DISEASE.
Mothers should Teach Children Not TO
Handle strnnon AnlmnIa


Mothers should Teach children Not to
Handle Strange Animals.
Since l have spoken in defense Of the
dog, lot me say something more with
relation to that other favorite household
companion of man-the cat. / would
call your attention TO the fact that the
cat Is beast far moreuseful to mankind
than the dog. Without the latter we
could get along, but If we had no cats
we should have a continual plague of
rats and mice, which would overrun the
cities and devour the crops and small
live stock Of the farmers.
At the same time you may set It down
an indisputable truth that the domestic
cat is a prolific source of agreat variety
Of diseases. Il breeds them and dis
seminates them-slsin troubles partic-
ularly. II carries about with it the con-
tagion of diphtheria, one Of the most fa-
tal-of human complaints, and It is seri-
ously suspected of helping to SOW the
germs OF consumption. A trouble akin
to ringworm which attacks the scalp and
causes the hair to fall out is frequently
conveyed by cats. Likewise it is with
scarlet fever, which, when it is in a
house, is always likely to be scattered
abroad by the pet pussies Of the estab-
lishment.
The way Of It is this: When there is
sickness in u house, old cloths are apt to
be used for various purposes. These are
commonly thrown afterward into some
out of the way place, like the corner Of
a closet. Suppose that there 10 a tabby
about that is on the point of bringing
into the world litter of kittens. Ee
male cats are constantly having kittens,
as you know, being among the most pro
life Of animals. She searches for a So
questered nook for her ACCOMPLISHMENT
and is likely to make her bed of just
such lot of old rags as have described.
As a natural consequence, not only is
the mother cat infected as to her fur
with the contagious disease, but all of
her kittens are likewise. The latter are
fondled by the children Pathogenic
germs seem to find a most favorable
breeding ground in the hair of cats. As
a result the complaint is spread. I'm
fortunately the infection is not limited
to the house. II is spread abroad by the
cats, which are notorious stragglers.
Thus before many days have passed
there is an epidemic of scarlet fever or
what not in the neighborhood. Nobody
can imagine how it got about Little
Johnny dies of diphtheria, and nobody
dreams that he contracted it by picking
up a strange cat.
Children have a way of picking up
cats and holding them to their faces to
caress them. That accounts for many
cases of that very disagreeable disease
called ringworm. It is the same way
with other skin troubles that are con-
tagious. Cats as well as dogs are LA
BILE TO tuberculosis of the lungs, other
wise known as consumption. That they
communicate it to human beings is more
than suspected. Washington Star.

A Loulsvino Dog THAT swoars.

A Louisville railroad man has q dog
that distinguishes tie days Of the week
and different railroad trains. On days
when Midget's owner makes his regular
trips the dog accompanies him to the
station, but never attempts to board tho
train-just stays on the platform, an in
terested spectator, and wags his tail
cheerfully as the train moves out. On
other days and other trains-suburban
trains to Parkland or Pewee Valley
he hops aboard without hesitation, evi.
IDENTIFY aware that the ride in prospect is
one that he may share. Midget swears,
too; swears like pirate.
The family understand him, but they
report that his language is too terrible
to be repeated. When things don't go
TO suit him. he retires under bed or
sofa and lies there rolling off oaths Of
fearful description for hours. A young
man who was attentive to Midget's
young mistress unintentionally offended
him, but the dog got even. He actually
broke of the match. He knew the regu-
lar nights on which the youth appeared,
and at an early hour would ensconce
himself under the parlor sofa, from
which coign of vantage he would growl
forth such volleys of personal and pro-
fame remarks that the prospective lover
became intimidated and ceased his at
tentions. In recognition of these serv-
ices Midget's master gave him a beauti-
full silver collar.--Louisville Courier
Journal.

Of sciencel Mr.. John Slime has published
at the Chiswick Press in pamphlet form
q very interesting memoir of Sir Francis
Ronalds. Twenty years before Wheat

their improvements in the telegraph, in

maids had sent messages over eight miles
Of overhead wires Of his own oonstruc-
ton and had laid and worked q service

sufficient length to demonstrate the
practicability of communication by tele-
graph between long distances.
Details of his overhead telegraph wires
were published by him in 1923, Ro-
maids residence at Hammersmith, where
these experiments were carried out, is

pied by Mr.. William Morris, the poet,
who has caused a tablet to be placed on
the wall bearing the inscription, "The

Francis Ronalds, f. r. ST. etc. An

TIE tune of Yankee Doodle" has had
seven or eight treatises written upon it
in the last 30 years, ascribing it to vari-

Netherlands and the days Of Cromwell
and the Charleses. DR.. George Grove Of
London, author Of the Dictionary Of
Music and Musicians" has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England,
finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-
ploding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof.
But YANKEE Doodle" had an origin
and has history. Il was written by
DR.. Richard Schuchburg, whose COM
mission dates 1851, in the French and
Indian war of 1865 under General JEFF
frey Amherst and was intended as a

Tho cat was 90 very highly regarded in
England at one time, both as rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following salu-
tary law passed by one Of the princes
of Wales:
"If any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Granery, he is to
forfeit o milch Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from it's
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form u heap high enought to cover
the tip Of tho former"
Though the Welsh had a high opinion
Of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had a
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. II was n crime to kill them.
and when they died they received pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
a token OF sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death embalmedin DRUGS
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those OF kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
biio G59 ptid- Clty VI Stuelai uo cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead Of shields. When the host ad.
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives Of
vast numbers Of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss of
blood or Of cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post

cnlculntInr the nI,tance of a storm.

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval of
shorter or longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena,
which is due to the fact that sound trav-
els only at the rate Of 1,100 feet per sec.
ond, while the passage Of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imateiy, how many miles a thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived AZ and
consequently the number Of feet, which
can be reduced TO miles.
For example; If 80 seconds elnpse be-
tween the fash of the lightning and the
crash Of thunder, the storm center is at
a distance Of $1,000 feet, or about o.
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using a watch with q
minute dial.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

There is a lobster farm, or pound. as II
is called, 10 acres in extent at Southport,
Me. This pound Is the most successful
on the coast, whence 900, 900 Holsters
are shipped each year. Tho pound is
formed by building u solid dam scross
tidewater cove. This dam does not quito
rise to high water mark. but across the
top Is placed a fence Of iron rods, per-
mitting daily change Of water and pre-
venting the Holsters from escaping. In
the spring and fall business is most brisk.
When the fishermen bring the Holsters
to the pound, .the "fsh. as they ore
called, are hoisted to tho dam, measured,
and those which are more than 10i
inches long, tho legal limit, are thrown in.
If a lobster is clever, his life in hepound
may be long and full of joy. II he is
stupid, he win be fished, out with drag
seine and packed In barrel, with piece
Of ice for a pillow, ard sent to Boston.
The seine Is made of stout twine and is
weighted at the bottom with a heavy
chain. Along the top is a row Of corlks,
which sustain the weight Of the seine
while the chain drags on the bottom Of
the pound.
A single cast Of this seine will bring
up Holsters enough tOhll1l barrels. The
chain as II sweeps along the bottom stirs
up the Holsters, which Immediately shoot
backward into the slack twine. In tals-
