Where the Walls Are Thin.

II overheard the people who live in

violently last night said Mr.. Wick
Inns.
s'Did you?" Mrs Wicklins exclaimed,
becoming deeply interested. What
did they say?"

BILE seemed to come to an end when
she declared that she would never
speak to him again. 1t is only natural
to suppose that made him feel so good
that he acceded to everything she de-
manded."
Then the people across the hall had
q chance to listen to an argument.

A Method of One Painter.

G. F. Watts, who is now in his S3d
year, constantly exposes his canvases
to the full rays of the sun, to let the
light burn into the wet paint and dry
with it. He believes there need be no
fear of fading after process that so
severely tests the colors. Mr.. Watts
uses no maulstick, his brushes are of
a great size and hardness, and he has
always been more fond of stippling
than of delicate brush work, often
pounding the color into his canvas to
insure permanence. He has rarely
worked directly from the living model,
but modelled fragmentary studies in
wax and clay for the particular parts.

Natal Border-Tension is increasing.
LONDON, Oct. "A dispatch from
Durham, Natal, announces that the
Beers are expected to take the aggres-
sive today. The most alarming rumors
are afoat there respecting their inten-
tions.
While all the dispatches from South
Africa dwell upon the condition of wild
excitement there and the expected i'm
minence Of Boer attack there is in
reality little change in the situation, al
though the massing of the Beers in al
directions inevitably increases the ten
sion.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Standards cor
respondent at Newcastle, Natal, says:
The forward movement of the Boer
forces, which threatened the Natal
frontier, has been suddenly arrested A
majority of the burghers who had
gathered on the heights northeast and
east of Newcastle have fallen back on
their original base near Sapndspruit.
The motive can only be conjectured.

defensive tactics.

DANGER IN BIRDcAGEs.
Swiss Doctor Says That Canaries and
Parrots Give Disease.

Parrots Give Disease.
Almost every week the medical pa
pers add another item to their list Of
deadly dangers. The latest is con-
veyed in q remarkable communication
on the subject Of infection Of song
birds In The Lancet contributed by
DR.. A. Tucker Wise Of Montreux,
Switzerland. He says
while engaged on an inquiry into
the sources of bacillary infection in
cases which have recently come under
my notice l have been struck by the
number Of patients who have lived in
contact with diseased canaries and
other feathered pets.
Among cage birds, pigeons and
poultry tuberculosis is common dis
ease, and there is strong probability
that avian infection can be convey
ed to human beings who keep birds
within the house. The Objectionable
practice of allowing them to place
their beaks in contact with the lips is
risky and dangerous proceeding as re-
CARDS liability to receive bacilli in this
way if the bird is not healthy.
Feeding and nursing sick birds and
blowing the dust and husks from their
seed and cleaning the cage are not
without danger. In my opinion the
canary or any other bird kept in the
kitchen is positive peril to the house.

the dust from it's cage or mucus from
it's beak the food of a whole family
can be contaminated.
Parrots can also be attacked by tu-
bercle, which is characterized fire.
quently by new growths of horny skin,
which sometimes attain considerable
size. They can easily be broken off,
and they contain numerous tubercle
bacilli in their basal granulation tissue.
"Psittacosis, an infectious disease Of
parrots, has already been observed to
cause serious and fatal pneumonia
of special type transmitted by these
birds to man. In 1892 about so per-
sons in Paris were attacked. Since
that time other milder epidemics have
been noticed and studied by Gilbert
Fourier and Debove."
