CONTESTING FOR HER RIGHTS.

Lansing Mich. June 23.-Mrs. Merrie b. Abbott
who was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Ogemaw
County last November. before the Supreme
Court to-day defending her title to the office. which
attacked by the Attorney General. Mrs. Abbott
is the first woman who has been elected to such
Office I'm Michigan. and the contention OF the
State Is that the common-law doctrine OF custom
and usage renders her ineligible. women having no
rights in this State go far as office holding Is
cerned, nasmuch there IL express provision
OF the statute giving them that right, and, further
more, that but electors hold office.
Mrs. Abbott showed Instances where women had
held various offices in Michigan. and she insisted
that they are eligible unless deprived of the right
by express provision of the Constitution, and that
with reference to the office OF Prosecuting Attorney
the Constitution is silent as to qualifications and
void OF restrictions

HINTS FROM THE CORNELL TEACHER THAT

AS MUCH AS THE YOUNGSTERS
Mrs. Mary Farrand Rogers says in THE Teach
ers Leaflets" prepared by the College OF Agricu.t-
at Cornell University There is no fasci-
nating adjunct to nature-study than a well-kept
aquarium" She writes OF its amusement and
benefit to children In the kindergarten:
The great fundamental principle underlying sue
cess in making and maintaining aquarium Is
this: Initiate nature. -Four things are important
in making and keeping an aquarium:
"First-The equilibrium between plant and animal
life must be secured ana mair:a 1t Is prob
able that aquarium in elementary school Is
mainly used for the study OF animal life, but AMI
mas do not thrive In water where no plants are
growing. The plants have three valuable func-
lions in the aquarium. First. they supply food for
the herbivorous creatures; second. they give off
quantity Of oxygen which is necessary 10 the life
of the inmates and, third. they take up from the
water the poisonous carbonic acid gas which passes
from the bodies OF the animals.
"Second-The aquarium must be ventilated.
certain quantity OF air s mixed with the water. and
the creatures must breathe that come 10 the
surface for their supply. How does Mother Nature
manage the ventilation Of her aquara? The plants
furnish part Of the air. as we have seen. The open
pond is constantly provided with fresh air.
"Third-The temperature should be kept between
40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. a shady corner Is
a better place for the aquarium than a sunny win
dow on warm day.
"Fourth-It is well TO choose such creatures for

FATE OF SOME PET CATS.
DESERTED BY THEIR OWNERS IN SUMMER,
THEY ARE LEFT TO STARNE.

THEY ARE LEFT TO STARNE.
The domestic animals Of the city do not have
comfortable time during the summer months.
Dogs fare better than cats. for they usually
taken away with the family or specially looked
after The feline pets however. frequently left
behind without any proper provision for their care,
and great suffering necessarily follows. 1t is during
these months that the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals does great deal of work
Mr.. Hankinson superintendent of the society,
said yesterday to a Tribune reporter:
When a house is entirely shut up. there Is no
place for the creatures to go. and the neighbors,
when annoyed by the nightly waing of the ami
mails. notify to remove them. OF course. when
caretakers left in the house the is looked
after with the rest Of the furniture but desertion
is the rule"
Inquiry made concerning the feeding OF home
less cats and dogs Mr. Hankinson said neither the
city the society made any provision for feeding
them but that there several private individuals

years ago to feed the cats in certain districts She

when asked II there is any way OF estimating the

can't give statistics as to the cat population. or
course people who less annoyed by
cats use extravagant expressions and in complain
ing to us say oh. there must be hundreds on the
block but when We come TO investigate two or
three cats will be found 10 have made all the
noise"
Mr.. Hankinson does not think that cats go mad.
In speaking on the subject, he said:
II don't believe in hydrophobia in either dogs or
cats. think II is nearly always nerves. but there
are, OF course. dangerous dogs that should not he

Often they are only spoiled. just as children are
spoiled; they are too demonstrative they have
quick tempers. and in either case brighten people

I'VE have no authority to kill dogs on the
