"Ofcourse secured my man, recovered

In few years. time. says the Lnodon

are taken, London may expect great
trouble from rats. 1t is a startling fact
that one pair of rats, with their progeny,
will produce in three years no less a
number than GAG, ,S0S. A doe rat will have
from six to eight nests Of young rats each
year for four years together, and from -
TO 20 at litter; and The young does will
breed at three months old; ard there are
more females than males, ut an average
of about ten to Six. Ii they ran about
the street like cats and dogs the public
would be terrified, but rs they hide and
work in the dark, men seldom see or
hear OF them. Brick drains are their
chosen haunts; skirting boards, backs OF
tireplaces, under the flooring, or between
The ralters are their places tor breeding.
The London sewer men state that brick
drains are the rats best friends, and that
nothing but glazed pipes, with heavy
sink traps, will stop the sewer rats get
ting into houses.

A singular story of jealousy and re-
venge comes to us from Sicily. A beau
tifuI young girl named Torina, who was
the belle OF @ travelling circus, in which
she figured as the lion tanner, had been
for some time receiving the attentions of
An athlete belonging to the same troupe.
BY some means she ascertained that ne
was not faithful to her, but had another
lady love. No signs, however. Of her
painful discovery were allowed toescape.
She still smiled sweetly upon him, but
responded coldly to his caresses. In her
own bosom she planned terrible re-
venge. One evening recently, when the
performance had been unusually brill
iant-after Florina had whipped the lions
and forced them to lie at her feet-she
called her recreant lover aside and said
to him: "Do you still love meW SAL
ways" he answered. "Do you know
that 1 should die il you should devote
yourself to another womanp @What an
Ideap responded the young man. ''But

cried the girl, at the same time pushing
him violently into the cage Of the lions.
They attacked the unfortunate man al
once and tore him to pieces, while Flo.
rina urged them on with blows OF her
whip.

The excitement over the Boston tea
kettle controversy has terminated. Two
prizes had been offered by the proprie-
tor OF the Kettle, a tea merchant, for the
nearest estimates of it's capacity, and
the citizehs have been "guessing" ever
since. Twelve hundred guesses were
made and recorded. Then the Kettle
was publicly measured, In the presence
of 5000 or 5000 persons, Mr.. VIM. H..
Reed, the official sealer of weights ana
measures for the city, filling me kettle
with water by using five.gallon meas
ure, under the supervision OF Hon. Hen.
ry Baldwin, Judge of the Municipal
Court in the Brighton district. The
thing, therefore. had sort of official
endorsement. The progress OF hllng
was scored upon blackboard by Mr..
Reeds son. The work proceeded thus
as rapidly as possible until the Kettle Was
nearly sfull, when smaller measures
were successfully substituted The ex-
citement grew intense as the end ap
preached, and in an hours time the
great problem was settled by the record
ing that the tea-kettle contained just 227
gallons, 2 quarts, pint and gills. The
prizes were chest OF tea tor the nearest
guess and 25 pounds of coffee Tor the next
best. The nearest guess was 22I gal
Ions, 2quarts and / pint, wine measure,
or within three gills of the exact guam
tity. This guess was made by eight dli-
ierent persons. and the chest of tea was
divided among them. The second near
est guess was 227 gallons, quarts and l
pint, or within gilIs OF the correct fig
ure. This quantity was guessed by sew
Ell persons, and among them the conee
was divided.

THERE seems to be gradual change
for the better going on in the business
prospects OF the country. Mills in many
places that have been idle are commenc-
ing work. Those that have been run
ming on part time are inceasing
the working days, and the whole
tone in business circles. appears more
healthy. The money from the hog crop

A Plea for Corsets.

A lady writing about the "dress re-
forms" says: Before my day there may
have been tight lacing. / don't know any
thing about that, but do know that now
it is the exception to find a woman who
wears tight corsets. l dare say there
may be some uncomiortably. fat women
who wear tight clothes, and of course
there are brainless girls who lace, but
they are tho exceptions. There are very
lew women who have ever worn corsets
that would be wiling to 90 without them,
for the weight of the skirts upon the hips
is much greater without them than with
them. The cutting sensation of the bands
is intolerable, whether they are loose or
not. Corsets entirely prevent that feel
ing, because the bones in them extend
over the hips and do not let the weight
bear down on the flesh. Then there is u
sort OF flabbiness of feeling when a wo-
man attempts to put on a dress without
her corsets underneath. So far as looks
are concerned, 1t is quite certain that
woman who wears corsets looks better
than one who does not. Most women
without corsets look dowdy-in fact they
almost all have sort of animated rag
bag appearance.
1t ls fact that may be depended upon
that no sensible woman is going to be
made thoroughly uncomfortable by any
part OF her dress. 1t is said that waists
should be worn instead of corsets, be-
cause held upon the shoulders, and many
advocates tie suspension Of the stock
ings from the waist by means of elastics.
Now consider that any thing but re-
form, because there is constant pulling
downward and forward, and it is very
uncomfortable indeed. 1t is said that
the weight of the skirts should be les
sened by suspendiDg them as men sus-
pend their paataloons. Now, do not
think ! put it too low when / say that
there are just about five women out of
hundred who can wear suspenders and
not be thoroughly uncomfortable all the
time. There are very few women whose
shoulders are square enough TO hold them
up firmly as they stay upon mems shoul-
ders. With the ninety-fi it ls con-.
stant "pull-pulP' to get them up where
they belong, and the unhappy wearers
either keep up frantic and ungraceful
grasping at either shoulder, or else they
undress half a dozen times day and
take up the suspenders, by no means
helping the difficulty, but only creating a
greater strain on the shoulders and
back.

The best mode of multiplying skilled
workmen is to quicken the action of the
mental faculties, and so educate the chill
dren, that their minds can readily adapt
their hands to almost any pursuit. E&-
traordinary skill is born, not made; and
those who possess genius will lind for
themselves the proper schools. What is
most needed is the ability to think, and
the duty of performing service of what
ever kind with fidelity. More is lost by
thougntlessness and recklessness in la
borers, than from deficiency of high ar
tistic skill. Often a laborer docs more
damage in single days work, than his
wages for month can repair.
Gov. CASTOR makes some excel ent sug-
gestions about adapting schools to the
circumstances of our poorer children.
He urges half-time schools, so that half
the time could be employed in the SER
vice which is necessary for their sup.
port. He makes the following instruc-
tive observation:

struction, that halt-time scholars, as q

OF Miss Abbott, whose forthcoming
debut ON the operatic stage Is exciting
decided interest as we'll as high hopes
among the principal artistes of the day,
a Paris correspondent writes as follows
"Miss Abott began to sing in public with
her father when she was only nine years
of age, and at thirteen she took her gui-
tar and began her tours quite alone,
counting her little gains each night be-
fore going to her bed in order to decide
how much to send home to her mother.
At last Miss Kellogg came to Toledo,
where Miss Abott then was, and she
longed to hear her in opera and to ask
advice concerning herself and her voice
summoned courage to call upon the
great singer and tell her little story; and
She kindly gave her ticket for the
evening, and, when the performance was
over, scattered the performers into aud.
itorum, and setting the little woman on
the stage alone, made her sing to them.
This trial decided her fate, and Stra.
kosch joined with Miss Kellogg in urging
her to 20 to New YORK tor instruction,
where they would be responsible for all
necessary bills. She gladly went. began
lessons with Errani, and soon got pay.
Ing employment in church choirs. From
there she was sent to Europe by kind
friends, and In Paris she attracted the
attention Of the Baroness Rothschild,
who sent tor her and begged her to draw
upon her for all necessary expenses.
Patti also promised to become her pa.
troness, and already she has offers from
her Majesty's Opera, London, while the
musical director of the Grand Opera
House at St. Petersburg offered her an
engagement on the spot, ana wished to
take her to Russia. But she will not
tempt failure by hurrying over single
exercise or listening to the voice OF par
tial friends; SO the time Of her debut is
not vet announced.

THE GOVERNORS ON EDUCATION.
Governor Hartranft, of Pennsylvania,
rFges compulsory education in his late
message. In speaking of the relation of
ignorance to vice, pauperIsm and crime,
be said:
"When, in certain sections of the
United States, you find only seven per
cent. of the people above the age Of ten
who can not read and write, and dis
cover eighty per cent. of all the crime
chargeable to these sections is committed
by this ignorant seven per cent, it will
not do to deny that Ignorance has most
Intimate relation to crime. The stats.
tics OF pauperism likewise show that the
Hkterate and ignorant crowd our poor
houses, and very small proportion of
the inmates of these institutions have
had any of the advantages of educa.
t5an."
Crime runs more in the blood than In
the lack of common school education.
The physiognomy of the vicious and
sgiminal classes shows their natural
inolinations. Education, adequate to
change the physiognomy, must be of a
IL applied than 1t is In the district
schools. If badly organized children
could be taken from their parents when
very young, and placed under good in
1nence and kept at good schools until
eighteen or twenty-one years Of age.
1here would be some hope Of making
tlem good citizens.
Still, this no reason why popular edu'
estion should not be beimproved and full
attendance secured by some efectual
means. Were the schools to go down,
ne members in the rascally class would
hsincreased. BY improving and accom-.
uedating them to the circumstances Of
tke poorest the members Of the vicious
would be steadily diminished.
