The tip of the tail lies between the

much nearer the latter and only few
degrees below the pointers. The rest

faint stars. curves downward and
around the Little Dipper. when with
a final coil it terminates with the two

Does Your Cat Couch?

Poor pussy! AS if the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake O. nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough. the doctors have just
discovered that for years she has been
responsible for the spread of diphthe-
ria. Dr.. G.. J. Awburn of Manchester,
England, having traced an epidemic of
this disease in suburb of that city
to pet cat belonging to one Of his
patients, has found. after much clever
investigation. that all cats are pecul-
iarly susceptible to diphtheritic affec-
tons of the throat. He has therefore
recently been warning all families
who own cats to watch them carefully
and if they develop coughs to forbid
their being Rugged and petted. DR..
Awburn further recommends that If
the cough persists and the cat begins
to grow thin to have the animal de-
stroyed at once. The only really safe
way. he says. is to let the first wheeze
be pussy's death warrant.-New York
