union and the National Foundrymen' s
association held an all day session
here for the purpose of setting the
molders strike. A settlement was

made many concessions. Over 500
molders were on strike, and had it not
been settled 1000 more would have
gone out.

BIRDS AS BREEDERS OF CoNsUMP

BIRDS AS BREEDERS OF CoNSUMP-
TIoN.-Dr. A. Tucker Wise, an En-.
glsh Psychologist, records the case of
more than thirty persons who became
attacked by tuberculosis apparently
through association with Gagged birds.
That canaries, parrots, etc., are COM
monty subjected to tuberculosis, DIR.
Wise considers to be an established
fact. and warns owners of birds of the
danger of ayian infection. The prac-
tice of allowing birds 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. Flies
can also convey filth, and with it
disease germs, from the cage to human
food, or the dust of dried excrement
and mucks may pollute the air of any
room in which birds are kept. Feed
ing and nursing sick birds Gncluding
parrots) and blowing the dust and
husk from the seed and cleaning the
cage are not without danger. The
canary or any other bird kept in the
kitchen, is a positive peril to the
household, as by fluttering and whisk-
ing the dust from its cage or mucuc
from it's beak the food of a whole fami-
ly can be contaminated. 1t is not
surprising, he observes, taking into
consideration the unnatural and un-
healthy life to which man subjects the
domestic animals, especially birds con-
fined in small cages, that these cap
tives should become diseased, and pol
Lutte the air with pathogenic germs.

The Camel.

Before starting on journey across
the desert the Egyptians take care that
the humps of their camels are in good
condition. This is the camel's reserve
supply of fat, which helps to sustain the
animal if in case Of emergency it is
temporarily debarred from food The
camel can stow about l y gallons of
water in it's capacious stomach, and it
is satisfied if it can replenish this every
third day. Between these intervals it
will carry load of about 400 pounds a
distance of 80 or 90 miles.

hog Must Look Out For Himself.

Columbia State, Saturday: Follow,
ing the decision of a few days ago on
the rights of the dog the supreme
court has handed down another decis-
ion relating thereto. This time the
court takes the position that when a
dog gets on railroad track it is the
business of the dog to get out of the
way of the train and not of the train
to get out of the way of the dog. In
other words if dog is killed by a
train the railroad company is not Ii
able for damages as in the case of
