EVADA CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY MORNING. FFRRITAR x 1915

RAT RAcEs-The rat is one of the
most interesting animals on the globe
In Europe he makes historical eras. Diff
ferent hordes of invaders brought their pc
cullar rat in their train. Europe has seen
the rat of the Goths, the Vandals and the
Huns. Europe now has its Norman rat
and It's Tartar rat; and the great rat of
tha Partisan sewer is of recent date and
Muscovite origin. The brown rat, other
wise known as the Norman rat, has estab-
lished itself all over the world by the com
merce of civilized times-it has had pos
session of France for the last six or seven
centuries; but, within the last, it has
found its master in the Muscovite and
| Tartar rat, called in Paris the rat of Mont
iaucon. These new rats, previously un
known to Europe, descended from the
heights of the great central plateau of
Asia, from which the Hun and Mongol
horsemen descended, who spread right and
left and took possession of Rome on the
one hand and Pekin on the other. The
establishment Of the Muscoyite rat in
France commenced with the extirpation
of the brown or Norman rat; that rat has
almost disappeared, and is found only in
the cabinets OF the curious collectors
while the Muscovite rat is daily increasing
in size, ferocity and courage The Rus
sian rat devours the dog, the cat, and at
tacks the child asleep. The corpse Of
man is dainty for this beast, and It COM
menccs by eating out the eyes. Its tooth
is most venemous; and one author states
that he has known of ten cases of amputa-
ton OF the leg after the bite Of this rat
The cat turns tail upon this rat in its most
lerocious state. A good rat-terrier is the
best destroyer; but, fortunately, rats are
ratophogous, cat one another, fight duels,
indulge in broils and intestine feuds, and
grand destructive battles. Were it other
wise, they would make this world an un-
pleasant place for man to live in. We
should have to fight our way, and not un-
frequently, like the Archbishop of May
ence, should be dragged from our beds at
midnig ht by an army of rats, and devoured
upon the spot. The rat is the emblem Of
misery, murder and rapine-a cannibal
and robber-devoted to the principle of
war and spoliation. VIII it ever disap-
pear?

reply.
And then all called for P. B. After
drinking, the wag laid his bit on the csun-

MOONLIGHT ON TIE CRAVE.

1t shineth on the quiet grave
Where weary ones have gone;
1t watches with angelic gaze
Where the dead are left alone
And not sound of busy life
To the still graveyard comes,
But peacefully the sleepers lie
Down in their silent homes.
All silently and solemnly
1t throweth shadows round
And every grave-stone hath trace
In darkness on the ground.
1t looketh on the tiny mound
Where little child is laid,
And lighted up noble pile
Which human pride hath made.
1t fallcth with unaltered ray
On the simple and the stern,
And showeth with solemn light
The s5rrows we must learn.
1t telleth of divided ties
On which its beams have shown;
1t whispereth of heavy hearts,
Which "brokenly live on"
1t gleameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side by side;
1t falleth where the maiden rests
Who in her beauty died.
There is no grave in all the earth
That moonli ght has not seen;
1t gazeth cold and passionless
Where agony hath been.
Yet it is well thai changeless ray
A deeper thought should throw,
When mortal love pours forth the tide
Of unavailing woe.
1t teaches US NO shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky;
That all our sorrow lieth hero
The glory is on hiph
