Diseases of Animals.

Household pets are susceptible to a far greater variety of diseases than most people imagine. Parrots are known to be susceptible to a disease so peculiar to themselves that 1t is called from the Greek word for parrot, "psit- tacosis." A number of fatal cases in human beings of what was at first sup posed to be malignant influenzal pneu- monia were in Paris traced to the bacil- Jus at present thought to be causative of the parrot disease. A certain pro portion of parrots are known to die from tuberculosis. Cats are known sometimes to have tuberculosis, and that they have in many cases been car riers of diphtheria and other of the ordinary infections directly and indi- rectly is more than suspected.-Kansas City Journal.

AN AccuRsED BRIDGE.
No Wedding Party In England VIII
 Pass Oyer the Structure.


 Pass Over the Structure.
 Standing in the center of an open field at Hoxne, near Eye, in Suffolk, ia an Obelisk erected to the memory of King Edmund, who met his death there at the hands of the Danes in 970. On the site of the monument stood an oak tree, in the branches of which the king sought refuge from his foes. At night fall he emerged from his leafy hiding place and secreted himself under 8 bridge which spanned a stream called the Goldbrook.
 A wedding party, however, passing over the bridge in the evening, observed the kings gold spur glittering in the moonlight, and in this way his retreat became known to his enemies. He was taken back to the tree in which he had previously hidden himself and shot with arrows, and his body was after ward removed to Bury St. Edmunds and inferred in the monastery there.
 On Goldbrook bridge is inscribed a record of the event. Local tradition has 1t that many years ago the existing inscription was followed by the words, Cursed be the wedding party that passes this bridge" No part of this anathema is now visible, but the tradi- tion is so well known that a bridal party will take circuitous route rath- CT than pass over the bridge.-London Standard.

But when 1t comes to mill itary circles 1t is different. and both men and women protest vigorously against this sharing of titles.

county commissioners should not be elected

the law unconstitutional and as the case
has not yet come up to the supreme court,
though 1t is now in the Douglas county
court the matter is up TO the county clerks.
However, it is believed that It would be
safe for the county clerks to put the
names of candidates on the ticket.
