Rats thnt Love Tobacco.

It is well known that rats and mice, in ad- dition to their proverbial slyness, fall into as- tonishing disagreeable habits when their sur roundings are such as tempt them to depart from the temperate course characteristic of rodent life. At the tobacco house of Leggett & Meyers, in St. Louis, is a bright, grayish colored rat, fat and plump, that emerges from his hole during the daytime, jumps up on pile of leaf tobacco and eats and re1ishes the nicotine weed the same as it would dainty bit of cheese. This animal is perfect ly gentle, and it's curious appetite has vouch- safed for it the freedom of the entire factory It is looked upon in the establishment as the greatest of living curiosities, and possessed, as it seems to be, with intelligence, it is per mitted to frolic about the factory unmolested and allowed to taste sparingly of the choicest iTnn0rtationS
