Animals and Instinct.

1t Is mistake to imagine that ami
mails are prevented by instinct from
eating injurious food. A chicken will
drink paint; COW partakes of water
in which noxious chemicals have been
washed; ducks cheerfully swallow
snails and choke themselves in the
process. No; animals. like children,
need watching.
Recently numerous cases of poison
ing in ducks, which followed the con-
sumption of cabbage leaves, have at
tracted much attention. A few hours
after feeding poisoning has manifest
ed itself by loss of appetite, great
weakness. lettering steps and some
times death. From time immemorial
ducks have thrived on cabbage leaves.
The poultry farmers were greatly puz-
zled.
Then it was discovered that various
caterpillars were concealed in the cab
bage leaves; hence these tears. But
the point is that. far from instructive
~ detecting any danger and behaving
accordingly. the ducks consumed great
quantities of the leaves with much ap-
parent relish. London Answers.

Wisconsin are being awakened
to the methods for the care and
prevention of tuberculosis
through organized effort, the re-
port says. The prediction CT
medical men that consumption
can be stamped out in Wisconsin
in ten years time is sure to be
fully realized.
ORGANIZED effort" means the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION, which was formed by
leading medical, business and
professional men who had no in
terest other than the saving OF
lives of those people who could
not or did not know how to help
themselves. They gave their
time and money freely in worthy
cause.
But these comparatively Few
men could not be expected to be
the sole support of the move
ment in financial way, so tie
association adopted the Christ
mas stamp idea of raising funds,
penny by penny. In this man.
ner even the poorest person, a
class most affected by the white
plague, could contribute his or
her mite to help the fight.
The money thus raised has
been and is being devoted to a
most worthy work, as proof of
which only the health records
need be examined. But the work
has only begun and more funds
are needed. The association has
therefore decided to again sell
stamps, but of an exclusively
Wisconsin design, better for the
practical use of these stickers on
letters and packages sent during
the holiday season.
The campaign opens Nov 29
and closes at midnight, Dec. 81.
Three million stamps must be
sold this year. Every person in
Wisconsin is asked to assist.
Those who gave their unselfish
and loyal aid lastyear have again
c)me forward, but the ground is
not yet thoroughly covered.
Stanley A. Douglas, campaign
manager, All Goldsmith building.
Milwaukee, is appealing for a
general support. especially in
those places which could not be
reached last year because of lack
of facilities.

Woman Shot to XIII.


Mrs. Catharine McCabe, OF Key
port, who formerly kept a restaurant
on Broad street in that place, shot at
Peter M. Corcoran, of New York City,
as he and Mrs Corcoran were board
ing trolley car for Matawan to catch
a train for New York City. The ball
passed near the head of Corcoran,
not hitting him. Mrs. McCabe is
about sixty years old and has been
considered to be in good circum-
stances until recently. For soma
time she ran restaurant in her own
building, but business has been bad.
She mortgaged her property for
$4,000, borrowing the money from
Corcoran, relative. A few weeks
ago her property was sold under fore
closure, and the mortgage bought it
in for the face of his claim. Mrs.
McCabe and her husband, who is an
invalid and helpless, were evicted.
Her plight drove the woman to des-
peration. Mrs. McCabe was disarmed
Immediately after the shooting and
arraigned before Recorder Walling
on charge of attempting to kill
Corcoran, and was committed to Jail
in default of $1,000 bail. Mrs. Nc
Cabe expressed no regret, saying that
wrong had bean done her and that
she intended to kill Corcoran.
