The Montreal Witness contains the
following Yesterday evening re-
porter for a morning contemporary was
engaged writing up his items, when he
suddenly and quite unintentionally fur
nished an item himself. He was so en-
crossed in describing the mysteries of
the Police Court that he did not notice
an ancient and WISE looking rat who was
out on prospecting tour, and was ex-
amining infinitely the mud about the
bottom OF the reporters pantaloons.
The mud seemed of good quality and the
rat began to nibble it; the reporter
became conscious of something unusual
going on about his pedal extremities,
and gave kick, then the trouble began.
The rat made q spring and commenced
q voyage of discovery up the leg Of the
reporters pantaloons the reporter gave
q Jump and howl of establishment, up
set his chair, and nearly overturned the
table, and yelled thieves, while the rat
squealed murder as plainly as . rat
can. The rat continued his explorations
until the pantaloons got too tight for
him to 60 higher. Then he took . good
hold of the reporters thigh, and the NJ.
porter q good grip on him and began to
dance. The reporter is an exemplary
young man, and not given to Terpsi-
chorean exercises but when the COM
positors and clerks from the business
Office, attracted by his cries, entered the
room, they found him cutting such fam
tastic capers that they thought he was
either crazy, or was practicing y new
fling for the st. Andrews Society ball.
Still the rat held on, and still the re-
porter kept his grip. The situation was
becoming serious. How Was the rat to
be got out? At last brilliant idea
struck the reporter. He began to take
OF his pantaloons, still holding the rat,
and, when he had removed them, gen.
eral onslaught was made on the unfor-
tunats rodent, and he was quickly dis
patched, . compositor almost dscapita-
ting him with . column rule"

How Rubber Boots are Made.

The gum used is imported directly
from Africa, South America and Cen
trail America, that from Central Amer
lea being the best, while the African
gum is the poorest. The raw gum,
which is nearly white, is ground sever
al times between immense huted iron
rollers, after which it passes through
the composition room, which process
is secret, but when it con es out the
gum has the black appearance Of com.
mon rubber. The next process is that
of passing the rubber between chilled
iron cylinders of MANY tons weight,
which are kept very hot and very
smooth. A part of the rubber intended
for "uppers" is here spread upon and
fastened to long sheets of cloth. The
heels and taps are stamped out of sheets
of gum of the required thickness. The
rubber cloth Is now carried to the cut
ter's rooms, where it is cut out and
sent to the bOOtmakers. The boots are
made bv men, the shOes or ordinary
rubbers by girls, while the OvershOes
are made by either. One man will
make twelve or fourteen pairs of boots
a day, and receive twenty cents pair.
An active girl will make from twenty
five to thirty pairs of rubbers. After
the bootmaker is through they are
placed in an oven. where for twelve
hours they are subjected 20 tempera-
ture of three hundred degrees. They
are then ready for boxing and ship
ping. In one factory about four
thousand pairs of boots, rubbers and
overshoes are turned out daily.

Business Feeling at Fall River.

The Fall River manufacturers gen.
orally believe that their hardest ex-
perienccs are over, and look for live.
ly spring trade. Though the expense
of running by steam and the large
amount necessary to pay the yearly in
terest ofcostly and extensive mills have
eaten up what little profit they have
made during the past three years, the
present business Of nearly all the cor
porations Is remuDerative, and the
prospect is OF steady increase. The
drought during the past winter has
stopped many mills which are depend.
ent entirely upon water, and the grow
ing confidence in a satisfactory solu-
ton of the political situation has Gre
ated demand for cloths which the
Fall River manufacturers are prepared
to take advantage of. The present
production of all the Fall River mills
amounts to $3.50, 900 yards per week,
on which there is a net profit of $685..
500, and prices show signs of ;mprov-
ing. 1t is noteworthy fact that,
though Fall River manufacturers made
the first export of goods to England
and can compete with her in foreign
countries, the home demand is at
present 50 great that they cannot OF
present follow up the advantage, and
this branch of the trade is at present
practically mOnopolized, as far as New
England is concerned, bv Rhode Island
makers. Every indication points to
the fact that the hard times in the dry
goods trade are over, and it is fair to
suppose that this new aHd encouraging
state of things will extend to Other
lines OF manufacture also.-Boston

PATHS CanX.

PATHS contemplated divorce has &C.
casioned food OF gossip concerning
the Marquis de Caux. The marquis
first met the diva at the grand concert
given by the emperor Napoleon, in the
palace Of the Tuilleries in January,
1865. There was the emperor in the
very zenith of his popularity and pow
er, and the empress in all her beauty
literally covered with diamonds. As
the imperial party we're departing an
ecuyer who stood behind them offered
to escort Adelina to her carriage. This
gentleman was the Marquis de Caux,
descendant of one of the few old no
bic French families which had become
reconciled to the empire. On the fol-
lowing day the marquis came with q
splendid pair of diamond earrings
and superb bracelet. In spite, how
ever, of the kindest attentions, the
flowers and gallantries the marquis
showered upon her. Patti conceived for
him an antipathy almost invincible.
But the marquis persisted in his at
tentions, and contrived in one way or
another to be forever by her side. III
she drove Oh the Bots de Boulogne,
and stopped her carriage to take lit
tie promenade, he would be sure to be
on the same promenade. and would
find way to approach her. When
she was invited to a ball or a dinner
party, or went to the theater Francois.
somehow he managed TO he there too.
De Caux is a very eloquent conversa-
tionalist, an excellent horseman, and
an Incompatible dancer Patti had
then o great MANY admirers in Paris,
and had three different offers Of mar
riage, and all brilliant offers, too. All
of them she declined in succession, in
timating that she desired to live only
for her art. Finally, at a concert, the
empress approached her and asked,
care you not tired of being single ?
Why don't you marry?" and then and
there the empress told her che ought
to marry the Marquis de Caux. This
was the turning point, and the mar
rage took place at the French embas-
az in London, in the summer of 1868.
Then began all the terrible stories about
De Caux which have circulated all over
Europe, and which have at last caused
the separation.

Enormous Growth of Australia,

That great English-speaklng EN-.

| ias is apparent from the marvellous
showing those colonies already make.
Their total amount of trade Is S40O,.
900, 900, dug from the bowels OF The
earth or gathered from its surface. OF
that total one.half, or S225, O0O, 200,
consists of the precious metals. There
are gold, copper, tin, and iron IN oil
the colonies, and silver in New Zealand.
In miscellaneous products they have
wool, tallow, sugar, hides, preserved
meats, and wine. In all the colonies
there we're last year 65,O00,00O sheep
and 100000 cattle. The population
of Australia and Tasmania numbers
2 900 600 and New Zealand 900, 600.
The public revenue of the whole group
is S65, 000, 900 annually. Comparing
these colonies with Canada we find
that the population in the new domin-
ion is 4 100000 and her total trade
amounts to 1925, 100000, as compared
with $3.50, 900, 900 of the Australias,
which gives the latter double as much,
with a population only one.half as nu.

but s95, 100000 against 1925, 900, 600
from the Australias, and the dominion
revenue is but s2j, 100000 against
their 500, 100000. Going further
afeld we find that the Indian empire,
with a total population of 240, 900, 000,.
has n total trade of 1886, 900, 900, and
her exports are s275, 100000, against
S225, 100000 from the Australias.
The colonies have borrowed consider
ably, but every cent. except in the
case of New Zealand, has been spent
in useful and weIlconceived public
works. Victoria has borrowed $780,
600, 900 at little over four per cent,
