and which she placed in the warmest
corner of her bed to nurse it and cure
1t of a cold which she was afraid
would turn into consumption, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. She was sorry to
learn that no specialist exists to cure
turtles of tuberculosis, which she re-
CARDS as one of the things lacking in
civilized countries. l do not know that
woman with the turtle, but 1 do know
the woman about whom 1 shall tell

for the comfort Of ten or twelve dogs
that she cares for better than she
any. When she is away In Paris the
maid sends a telegram to her every
day, letting her know or the state Of
health of the dogs. A veterinary Is

The habit of having animals instead
of children for pets is not only foolish,
but animals transmit tnefr diseases to
man. 1t has been proven now that
dogs can transmit tuberculosis. Catch
ing 1t from one human being, they can
give 1t to others. The taenial echino-
coccus in the dog transmits it's eggs to
man, finds home In his liver, decom-
poses It, transforms 1t into a liquid
tumor, which, in medical phrase, is
called "hydatid cyst" Must not all OF
us come to the conclusion that human
creatures are heirs to enough diseases,
without catching those ordinarily con-
fined to animals? The brute world is
one of the most beautiful works Of the
Creator, but should It not be left in
its place, as everything else is? There
is no doubt that such intense individ-
