SOME POINTERS ON ANTHRAX
DIR. Mack Issues a Circular That
Will Prove of Some Interest
To Stockmen

DR.. P. Mack OF the s a'e University,
has Just issued a circular on anthrax
that will prove of con siderable interest
to stocknen.
According to Dr. Mack's account an
thrax has been known since the very
earliest times of which there are written
records. Before modern methods
brought it under control excessive out.
breaks were frequent in many parts of
the world in which both men and ami
mails perished in large numbers.
Anthrax is an acute specific infectious
disease. affecting nearly all species of
animals and man. Herbivera and rod
ents are most susceptible, carnivora and
birds less so. but they contract it under
certain conditions. 1t is most often met
with in cattle. frequently in horses and
mules. Sheep are no less susceptible.
but as they Craze almost exclusively on
higher ground they are less often ex.
posed to infection. Swine and dogs
sometimes contract il by feeding on the
carcasses OF animals which have died
from it. Man is less susceptible than
the domestic animals, but contracts It
readily under proper conditions.
The germs enter the body with food
aud water and by inhalation and through
abrasions in the skin. Animals are
most often infected by swallowing the
germs, frequently through wounds; and
man through wounds and by inhalation.
The infection is often transmitted by
biting and bloodsucking insects. The
germs are more resistent than most
species Of bacteria, and will live in in
fected soils aud buildings for long
periods.
The disease Is usually acute; some.
times the hrst indication Of trouble
will be the sudden death of animals
which appeared perfectly healthy a few
hours before. However. they may live
from a few hours to several days. The
mortality is always high in animals,
but a few may recover. In man the
chances for recovery are much greater.
Stockmen are warned against the
danger involved in handling anthrax
aud are advised not to skin or otherwise
examine or handle the carcasses Of ami.
mails dead from it. Such carcasses
should be burned where they lie when
ever possible.

Then He Fled.

A too convivially inclined young
clubman was introduced at reception
to a clever society woman whom he
understood in some hazy fashion to be
a great artist. She was not an artist.
nor had she ever made any attempt to
be. But the young man. whose wits
were apt to go woolgathering at
times, thought she was. and he was
very anxious to make a sufficiently
pretty speech to her.
He murmured the usual convention
alities when he was presented and
"You paint, don't you? SO many peo-
pie have told me about it," he then
said ingratiatingly.
The young woman stared at him,
looked him severely in the eyes, let
her glance fall on every feature Of his
perplexed face, glared her indignation.
and then she spoke.
'Tf l do" she remarked icily, "at
least I don't make a mistake and put
It on my nose. e."-Philadelphia Times.

A Sharp Churehman.


OF the famous Samuel Foote, caustic
wit and practical joker, the following
story is given:
Foote tried a joke on the archbishop
OF Canterbury. who was not to be
caught. The actor forwarded a copy
of "The Minor" to the primate, play
so gross that Irish audiences would
have none OF II. though 1t was a big
success in England. with the polite
request that II his grace saw anything
Objectionable In 1t he would strike II
out But the archbishop sent 1t back
without a mark and declared after
ward to a friend that II he had put
pen TO the manuscript Foote would
straightway have advertised IT "as cor
rected and prepared for the stage by
his grace the archbishop Of Canter-
bury" And. judging by what history
tells us Of Foote's character, he prob
ably would.
