W.
TIE wood-brooks 10 longer are singing,
All frozen as stiff as stone
No katydlds chat in the thicket.
The locusts have ended their din,
Ard even the last little cricket -
Has put up his violin.
Then what are these CHEEKY neises
On the cold November air.
These gay little laughing voices
That echo from everywhere
There's rattle of wheels a-clatter
All along the frozen way,
And a prattie OF merry chatter
On this glad Thanksgiving day. ss'
All. these are the children comingl
No robin is half so sweet,
No little brooks softest humming
Is blithe as the sound Of their feet
To thousands OF loving grandmas.
Who are waiting with smiling eyes
For the little folks fiocking to grandpa's,
All under the frosty skies.

mune TO Tuberculosis.
Berlin. May advance sheets of
Professor Behring's forthcoming book
on tuberculosis in cattle are available
here. The professor details the results
of six years investigation at Mar
burg. where he was assisted by Doc
tors Ruppel and Roemer. He afIirms
that tuberculosis in man and cattle
is prOpa gated by identical bacilli, and
that the seeming difference between
the human and the cattle bacilli results
from the capacity of the bacilli TO
accommodate themselves to the organ
ism i'm which they live.
Professor Behring says he has sue
ceSsfully infected cattle with virus
from humans, producing thereby fatal
animal tuberculosis. He also says he
has discovered method TO render cat
tie immune against tuberculosis,
which is done by vaccinating the cat
tie when they are young. This he de-
clareS to be his greatest discovery,
and says the method is in use on farms
at Marburg.
