CATS SUCKING BREATH.
An Old Wives Fable That Has Served

An Old Wives Fable That IIns Served
n Good
Can Il cat really suck the breath Of a
child?
We have always heard that 1t could.
Away back In early childhood we dis
tinctly remember frequent warnings
to look out for the cat. DC not allow
the cat to get Into bed with you. espe-
cially to get into bed with the baby, as
1t Is liable to suck the baby's breath.
which would cause the baby to die.
Is there any foundation for such a
notion as this? We never could discov-
CT any real meaning to the belief that
q cat can suck tho breath OF Il child.
Indeed the sentence is totally unintcl-
liGible.
What Is meant by sucking the breath?
1t may be T u that the cat, attracted
by the breath OF u child who had re-
Gently been nursing, might attempt TO
interfere in some with the
child's mouth. In young cats the I'M
pulse to nurse might be excited by the
smell of the chlld's breath. 1t Is bare
~ possible that the cat might be seized
with n desire to bite or to devour the
child's lips or tongue, lurcd III by the
smell of milk. We are not in n posi-
ton TO deny these possibilities. Maybe
they are true.
But not m OF these suggestions fur
nish n basis for the statement that the
cat is liable TO suck the child'S breath.
We have always heard this statement
with a shuddcr OF horror. It seems to
nny-nx. cnp,n yI-nir,1 hNrvnN1D y, ,vnlt-
that can hardly be imagined. But 1t is
n mere fancy, the origin OF which Is
hard to explain.
Yet We would advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the infant with
Il cat We do not favor the idea OF
cats sleeping with children, nor 10 we
favor the practice of children playing
witt cats, handling them, mupping
them around the floor, fondling them,
dressing them up rs dolls. 1t is not
good for the cat: 1t Is not good for the
child. Neither cats nor dogs ought 10
be treated In this manner. They are
al! right In their place, but they are
not fit for playthings.
II the superstition that n cat can
suck Il child's breath has operated ms
" " IlI'liitlS ilIONl llE lltlT
children 10 play with cats, II has served
n very good purpose, but such childish
notions are hardly compatible with ma
turc reflection. II Is one of the old
wives fables which may have served
n good purpose. but II IL too ridiculous
for repetition. There are other and
better reasons why the cat and baby
should not be left together than the
vague, unintclliCiblc fear that the cat
will suck the chlld's breath.-McdicaI

Es tan importante ese derecho que

biciones persouales; sino que debe
apreciarse como la libertad mas gran
de que concade la ley al ciudadano,
como a base mas frme sobre que deS-
cansa Ell gobiarno y la administrator
de los municipios.
Asi es, que TODD ciudadanO, ODE

nestar de a comunidad.
Muchos son los pueblos que Sc
quejan de a actual administration
municipal, sobre todo, de la inepti-
tud poca pulosidad de los hom-
bres que SO hallan al frente de esos
Ayuntamientos.
Sc puade asegurar, que esa mala

ob ldeciendo mas al mandate de sus

small so as to choke. The opening at the
bottom on the face side is made the
shape of an inverted V, running to the
back of the opening. They build two
of these side by side, only having par
tition between them; then draw one
while the other is burning, and that
keeps the men employed all the time.
One single arch costs about $175, or
double one $780, There is wood laid in
the throat sufficient to start the fire;
then put in layer of coal and then of
limestone, continuing until it gets to the
top of the opening. This is worked in
this way when it is done for general
business, but if it is only for farmer
who owns his own stone and wants lime
for his own use he can do it much
cheaper and without building the kiln
by laying upon the ground floor OF
logs and timber, enough to make good
bed; then lay on the wood and stone the
same as in the kiln and build it up as
hay stack but fiatter at the top, as you
get in more stone in that way, or it can
be built long and not round as wished
This is the way for home use; 5000 to
10000 bushels can be burnt in heap of
this kind People use coal (buckwheaD
here for the purpose, but l suppose the
same can be accomplished in using wood
and will be cheaper if wood is handy.
The cut shows the mode of building.
The kiln built as describe will furnish
its own draft and regulate itself. 1t
takes about two or three days and nights
to burn it and needs little attention If
burned in a heap. 1t is saving of the
stone, or burns up more of the stone by
covering the entire heap with clay or
soil of some kind except the extreme top.
