Psittacosis, the peculiar form of bron-
chial pneumonia communicated by par
rots, has broken out in Genoa, II cases,
eight Of them fatal, being traced to q
single importation of two sick Bra
lillian parrots. The health board has
warned the citizens against harboring
parrots as pets. At Berlin the'veter-
mary school has found that out of 174
sick parrots 81 were suffering from
tuberculosis. The disease is hereditary
in the birds, and is intensified by the
close confinement and discomfort of the
voyage to Europe.

THE TAME FAWN.

An Old Dame Who Narrowly Escaped
..s# with Her Lie.
Although it does not appreciate con-
fnement in a paddock, it is easy to
tame a fawn and it makes a delightful
pet until it attains to years of indiscre-
ton, says the Badminton Magazine. A
tame roe used to follow the children
everywhere round the old castle of
Duntroon and even up the stairs and
into the rooms. One of his little play
fellows had been obliged to give up his
room to a gentleman who had come to
stay there and the surprise of the guest
was unbounded when the head and
neck of a roe protruded through his
half-open door. "Dear mel" he said,
game must be extremely plentiful in
these parts" ..........
Yet, just as kitten would be the most
delightful of pets except for its un-
fortunate habit of growing into cat,
so roe and especially buck, becomes
too much of handful as pet when it
grows up. Their beautiful little horns
are both sharp and dangerous and a
tame roebuck very nearly put an old
woman of the road and into the Crinan
canal by it's obtrusive attentions. It
meant no harm; it really expected to
get lump of rock salt, with which it
had usually been rewarded for its
caresses, but the old dame did not ap-
precinte its uncanny approaches and
narrowly escaped with her life.

ed, says the New York Commercial Ad-

The conductor handed five pennies I'm

requested that nickel be given TO her
instead, as she had no purse and the
pennies would probably be lost. Gentle
as was the request, it irritated the con-
ductor, and he said: "No, have to take
pennies and you can do the same. They
will buy just as much as nickel" The
woman remained silent and the COLI
ductor proceeded down the car.
At that moment man who was about
to pay his fare touched the lady's arm
and handed her a nickel, taking in ex-
change the pennies, which he immedi-
ntely gave to the conductor. 1t was all
done quietly and quickly, yet many saw
