THE CAT AND THE BABY.

A Medical Opinion Rs 20 the TrR-
dItion of a Feline Danger.
Several physicians have investigated
the ancient story that cats suck the
breath OF babies and DR.. J. Rice Gibbs
declares that the theory is ridiculous.
Cats occasionally kill children, he de.
clares, but they do It in a different
fashion.
1T has been stated that a cats nos.
trils are so formed as to make per
feet juncture with the nose of baby"
said DR.. Gibbs, "and that a little
pressure would push them upward
and make them a perfect At. Then
the cats chin would rest over and be
low the baby's mouth. preventing 1t
from opening to relieve the strangula-
tion while the cat sucked its breath
That is all rot The manner in which
little children are killed by cats is
this: A cat looking for a warm place
to curl up and sleep lies down upon
the chest OF O little child, and, being
quite heavy-many cats are as heavy
as little bables-simply crushes the
breath out of the child's lungs, and
strangulation takes place, but not
through sucking the child's breath.
"The idea that only black cats kill
little babies is equally ridiculous. It
is simply because black cats are con-
sidered unlucky. In former times the
black cat was considered the very
genius of witchcraft In those days
when a baby died the blame was often
fixed upon some bag who. the judges
said, had sent a black cat to suck the
baby's breath. And often hag and cat
suffered death at the stake.
Evil omen is still the cry in many
parts of the world whenever a black
cat approaches a cradle. Many persons
are so superstitious that the appear
ance of a black cat in sickroom is
considered equivalent to an announce
ment of an approaching death. What
could be more absurd?
Mothers need not be afraid of cats,
black, white or green, sucking their
babies breath and numbering them. It
Is time that this popular fallacy should
be cxploded-New York World.

CARE OF PARROTS.
The Proper Way to Feed, Cage and
Teach the Birds.

The Proper Way to Feed, Cage and
Teach the Birds.
AS few people who own parrots real
ly know how to care for them, a few
good rules may be Of interest.
AS to their food, 1t should be seeds
canary hemp (but not too much)
millet, boiled maize, linseed, rape and
the like. Bread soaked in hot water
is good, given twice day, and fruit in
moderation and in variety is whole
some, such as grapes, apples and pears,
an occasional raisin and lettuce.
Gray parrots are very fond of rice,
and almost all parrots appreciate rice
pudding and have a taste, too, for
bread and butter. Meat is bad for
them. Clean, fresh wood should be
given them to gnaw-bits of elm,
birch, larch and chestnut. Fresh dry
gravel must be sprinkled at the bottom
Of the cage every day and fresh water
be put in the glass.
It is important that parrots should
have the opportunity to stand fat foot.
ed, so If the cage has wires at the bot
tom 1t is we'll to remove them. Always
to have his claws clasping a round
perch is injurious to any bird, and two
perches of different size are advisable,
so that he may change his posture at
will.
When a parrot continues to scream
he wants water or food or feels Ill and
uncomfortable or maybe is merely dull.
Music, which he loves, will cheer him
up at all times.
A parrot learns to talk only from
one who speaks very slowly and dis
tinctly to him and preferably when he
Is about to fall asleep. Last, but not

A large proportion of the diseases to
which fowls are subject are related to
the respiratory organs. Fowls give
off in breathing the moisture which
other animals excrete through the skin
and kidneys. Consequently it is the
lungs that frequently go wrong when
a bird falls i'll. The two commonest
complaints and also the most deadly
