a RAT WITH A COLLAR j. Enthotfer, an
employee of the United States Coast Sur
vey, residing at No. 6S l street Northwest,
has contributed a curiosity to the Smith
sonian Institution, which, If it adds moth
ing to scientific knowledge, will be re-
garded with much interest by all persons
interested in the habits, adventures and
misadventures of rats. Mrs. Enthoffer
had been annoyed for some time by per-
sistent rat. She occasionally caught a
glimpse OF his ratship, and was surprised
to see that he wore what appeared to be a
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 few days ago, when
the rat wearing the collar was caught in a
trap. Unfortunately the rat was killed by
dog, but upon examining the body it was
found that the collar was ring Of bone,
fitting tightly about the animals neck.
The theory is that the rat when it was
small had found bone, and gnawing the
center. pushed his head through and was
unable to extricate himself, As he grew
larger the ring of bone frightened about
his neck, and he wore it until death as a
badge of his enterprise in the search for
food. Washington National Republican.

The First Half of the Century.

During the first half of the present century intelligence travelled by pro- cess so slow that it amuses us now to hear of it, although it is but as yesterday since no one dreamed of anything better. When the battle of Waterloo was fought, and the dispatches three days after reached London, they were printed in newspapers, and the newspapers were loaded into mail-coaches. By day and night these coaches rolled along at their pace of seven or eight miles an hour At all crossroads messengers were wait ing to get a newspaper, or word of tidings from the guard. In every little town, as the hour approached for the arrival of the mail, the citizens lowered about their streets waiting restlessly for the expected news. In due time the coach rattled into the market-place hung with branches-the now familiar token that battle had been fought and vic- tory gained. Eager groups gathered. The guard, as he handed out his mail bags, told of the decisive victory which had crowned and completed our efforts. And then the coachman cracked his whip, the guards horn gave forth once more its notes of triumph, and the coach rolled away, bearing the thrilling news into other districts.

A Heartless Nephew.

James B. Williams, an engineer, in New York, was arrested on a charge of per- jury on complaint of his aunt, Mrs. Della Little. If the story she tells is true, there would seem no punishment too se- were for the ungratefm nephew. Will jams, Mrs. Little says, advised her to give him limited power of attorney to receive money for her. She assented, and while she was confined to her bed, having been given up by her physicians, he brought her paper, and asked her to sign 1t in the presence of third person, whom she did not know. She supposed it to be all right, and was held up in bed to afix her signature. She learned soon afterwards that she had signed 8 whole sale power of attorney authorizing Will jams to dispose of all her property at his pleasure. While she was yet ignorant of the contents of the paper, he induced her, she says, to accompany him to New York by promising her the best medical treat ment for her disease-paralysis. When he arrived in New York, Williams had the poor woman sent to prison as a com mon drunkard, and for six months she lay in jail without an examination. The case is being investigated. Every dollar the woman had in the world, she says, was taken by Williams.

The First Kind Words.

"I'm 8 hard working woman, your Honor," announced Mary Shanter as Bijah led her out. ...... ...n- "You mean it was hard work to get a woman about your size down here last night"
 "Come, now, Judge, I have to wash for living. That little trife last night can be overlooked in such big world as this. Just look at the blisters on my hands,"
 "I guess you do work, and I'm sorry to see woman of your age here on a charge of drunkenness. You shouldn't squander your money for, drink"
 "It didn't cost me cent!' she whis- pered, as broad smile came to her face. "You see, found a bottle of whisky where was working and I'm not cent out of pocket. Just pass over it, Judge. I'm growing old, and won't be here long to bother the officers and the courts. !"
 "Yes, Mary Shanter, you are growing old," he said, as he leaned back and looked at her. ''I see wrinkles in your face, gray hairs on your head, and know that you are breaking down. Your hus- band is dead, your home is gone and your children in Heaven, hope. Iknow that you must sometimes feel lonely and perhaps reckless .t... rsz
 "Ah! your Honor, if you only knew what it was to be a poor old lonely woman no home to go to-no friends to turn to no memories of anything but shadows"
 She hid her face in her apron and sobbed like child
 "You may go,' he quietly said "you can be good, live sober life, and sun- shine may come to you through all shadows. hope to never see you here again" --.,..
