A Rat with a Collar.

Washington Republican,
Mr.. j. Euthoffer, employed on the
u. S. coast survey, has contributed
a curiosity to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, which, if it adds nothing to
scientific knowledge. will be regarded
with much interest by all persons in
terssted u the habits and adventures
Of rats. Mrs. Enthoffer had been an.
noyed for some time by a persistent
rat. She occasionally caught a glimpse
Off and was surprised to zee that ii
wore what appeared TO be q yellow
collar. This fact gave rise to much
speculation in the family as to how
the rat came into possession Of the
collar. The mystery was solved a few
days ago, when the rat was killed b.
a dog, but upon examining the bodl
it was found that the collar was a RIM
Of bone, fitting tightly about the ami
mails neck. The theory is that tn,
rat when it was small had found
bone, and gnawing the center, pushed
his head through, and was unable Il
extricate himself. AS he grew large,
the ring Of bone frightened about hi
neck, and he wore it until death as
badge Of his enterprise in the searcl
for food.

Hutchinson kansas Leader.l
Last Monday morning Mr.. Stocking,
being short of help, placed his daugh-
ter Hattie on the seat of the harvest
ing machine to drive. The team
being a pair of ~fve-year-old colts that
had never been used in this capacity
before, became frightened at the sight
Of the reel and the clatter Of the ma
chine, and stsrted into a full run.
Taking in the situation, the brave girl
refined the animals in the direction Of
a fence. This doubtless would have
stopped them had not the bull-wheel
struck a large stone, which threw the
young lady off her seat on the canvas,
whence she rolled off in front Of the
sickle bar. AT this moment, when
death in a most terrible form seemed
inevitable, and the frenzied father
and brother stood almost paralyzed,
the small wheel struck a shock OF
grain, raising the machine sufficiently
to allow the body Of the now insen-
sible girl to PASS under 1t. Upon ex.
animation they found the girl had
received several injuries, although
fortunately none Of them were of a
serious nature, the worst being a cut
by the sickle on the forearm. Several
missions were made along her back
and limbs by the guards, while her
dress was cut completely into shreds.

A suggeslion to summer Tourists

A change Of climate is at all times
more or less dangerous. There are
elements in a new atmosphere which
are injurious, especially when the
system is exhausted by care and over
work, and which should be guarded
against. After careful observation
we have come to the conclusion that
Warmers safe kidney and liver cure is
the best preventive for atmospheric
evils and hat it will restore health

A writer in AppletOn'8 Journal. who ap-
pears to speak adyisedly, presents an ar
ray of facts and figures calculated to
shake public confidence in the business
integrity of M. de Lesseps. NJ de Les.
seps was willing to stake his reputation
on the assertion that the Suez Canal
could be built for $4,000 600. 1t cost
more than 800 900 600, besides the lives
Of twenty thousand Egyptian laborers,
who fell victims to hard work and poor
fare. He had obtained important con-
Cessions from the Khedive, hut adroitly
managed to avoid fulfilling his own obli-
cations, while the Egyptian government
was constantly plunged deeper and deep.
er in debt. By the time the work was
completed Egypt owed about $l23, 900 900
including its subscriptions for the work,
which was more than 1t really cost, and
had securities in bonds to effect only a
small part of it's liabilities. There isn't
any reason to suppose that M. de Lesseps'
figures in relation to his Panama Canal
scheme are even as near basis of fact
as was the Suez estimate, for the pro-
posed work at Panama is one that deties
computation of cost.
