Pets and Broken Hearts.

Ihe dog Of Mistral, the Proyencal
poet died the day after Mistrars re.
cent death. 1t is a fairly common
thing for dogs, cats. canaries and 9th.
er pets to die a few days or even
hours after their masters. But do
they die of grief? It is hot likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse Of canary that had sue.
cumbed with It's little mistress. The
canarys death, the examination
showed, was due not toa broken heart,
but to scarlet fever, the malady to
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems It is surmSed that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
on-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story Is pretty, but,
alas, it won't wash

than 3 mills, which operate such
schools by legislative authority, shall

acceptance of the compromise by the
Monroe factions removes another bone
of contention from the Legislature.
