The work Of Wears Spoiled by Rats.

Rats are destructive wretches, and
they have seldom used their powers as
effectively as they did in the case of
poor Thomas Edwards collection of
insects. There are very few cases on
record of such untiring patience and
unwearied search as that displayed by
the unlettered Scotch naturalist. The
story of his many collections, the diff
culties under which he made them, the
courage and perseverance that enabled
him to bear up under them, is more like
imaginative romance than reality.
Among the different collections was one
Ofinsects. BE had carefully pinned them
down in boxes, and laid them away,
until by dint of endless labor and writ
ing to other naturalists for information
he should be able to catalogue them
correctly: If he was too poor to buy the
sheets OF figures necessary for his pur-
pose and could not print, he got lot
of old almanacs and multiplication
tables and cut the numbers out. It was
a long and tedious process, and when it
was at last completed the naturalist pro-
ceeded to the garret where he had
stored the insects after preparing them.
There were twenty boxes, containing in
all 916 specimens. Jn lifting up the
first case he found that it had been en-
tirely stripped of its contents. Horri-
fed he tried the others. ALI were
empty; they contained nothing but the
pins that had secured them, and there
leg or wing. The rats had done their
work His wife, seeing the empty
cases, asked what he would do next /?
"Weelp said he, '.it's an awful disap-
pointment, but think the best thing
will be to set to work and fill them
again r. The work thus destroyed had
occupied four entire years.
1t will be remembered that Audubon
had somewhat similar experience with
rats. Upon leaving Kentucky he
placed his drawings of more than q
thousand insects in the care of friend,
TO find upon his feturns. after a few
months that pairtof Norway rats had
entered upon possession and gnawed
his precious drawings into bits of use
less paper. He, like Edwards, un-
daunted by his loss, set off on fresh ex-
peditions, and 10 three years had refilled
his portfolio

CORee Tayerns.

An English lady writes that coffee
taverns are not only great promoters Of
temperance, but also pay their way as
investment. One of the best coffee tav-
erns is in town in Hertfordshire. The
window is painted halfway up, show
ing the words "Ooffee Tavern" and
above hangs small sign telling that
lodging can be had, and nice, neat rooms
they are, with pretty frilled muslin cur
tains, fit for lady's boudoir.
The large shop is fitted up with coun-
ters for the huge tea and coffee urns;
small tables are dotted about. as in q
foreign restaurant, and at the side there
is large table given up to newspapers
and magazines; in the bar parlor there
is bagatelle board.
If properly managed, the experience
OF most Of those who have established
coffee taVerns over the country is, that
they are not only selfsupporting, but
remunerative; and to bring this about
the eatabIes and drinkables must be OF
the best, and the place rendered as at
tractive as possible. Such establish
ments are calculated to improve, raise
and refine the general character OF the
people. A breakfast cup of tea or coffee
is sold at the rate OF two cents, and q
slice of bread and butter for one cent.
The cheap coffee restaurants here charge
five cents, and the stuff is anything but
inviting; the places, too, are dingy and
miserable le-looking.
Let the temperance people get up a
company to establish coffee taverns
such as they have in England, and not
only will they advance the temperance
cause, but also obtain a good dividend
on the investment.

A SInnkInp Gtnrr.

The 81. James Gazette recounts the
particulars of shocking crime which
las committed recently at monastery
near the forest of Vranyo-Selo, In Hun
gary. This monastery, which was in
hahited by eight monks who were be-
lieved to be very wealthy, was attacked
by band OF brigands, but an alarm
having been given, body Of soldiers
came to the rescue. The brigands en-
deayored to barTicade themselves in the
monastery, and exchanged several shots
with the soldiers, who were more than
an hour before they could force an en-
trance. When they did get in they
found the monks lying gagged on the
floor, but could find no trace Of the
brigands. After the monks had been
set at liberty they informed their de-
liverers that the brigands had escaped
by an underground passage leading from
the cellar into the forest. The soldiers
at once searched for The passage, while
the monks went off to the, chapel to give
thanks for their delivery. The soldierss
having explored the cellar, and having
failed to lind the door of the passage,
came back TO ask one of the monks to act
as their guide; but they were nowhere
to be seen. In the course of further in
vestigations, however, they found the
dead bodies Of the eight monks in q
small room, and the mystery was then
solved. The brigands, seeing that they
could not escape, had murdered the
monks and hidden their bodies in this
room, having first stripped them Of their
clothes and put them on themselves.
They then gagged one another to de-
ceive the soldiers, and while the latter
were searching in the cellar lad made
of to their businesses In the forest.

Baron q. +. Kolb, q German sLatlst.-
clan, has recently published the results
Of his researches upon the duration Of
life in countries where records Of this
character are kept with some approach
to accuracy. His figures show eonclu-
sively that every advance in healthful
and profitable labor, in morality and in
useful knowledge, increases the lon
gevity of the people. Baron Kolb gives
statistics which are startling in the
enormous difference of the morality
rates they disclose; for they show that
while among infants suckled by their
mothers 1872 per cent. die during the
f7st year, no fewer than eighty per
cent. die among those brought up in in
siitutions. The influence of the anxiety
of providing for b2re subsistence is q
potent factor in shortening the lives OF
the laboring classes, for the baron finds
that, taking q thousand well-to-do per-
sons and the same number Of poor per.
sons. II the end of five years there viii
remain Of the prosperous SAB, Of the
poor only 655, a difference which goes
on increasing, until at the end of seventy
years the numbers will be respectively

tion Of life among the prosperous he
puts at Fifty years; Of the poor at thirty

Deeper than al sense Of seeing
Lies the secret source Of being, n
And the soul with truth agroeings
learns to live In thoughts and deeds;
For tho life is more than taiment,
And the earth is pledged for payment
Unto man for all his needs.
Nature Is our common mother,
Every living man our brother,
Therefore let as serve each other;
Not to meet the laws behosts,
But because through cheerful giving
We shall learn the art Of living;
And TO live and servo is best
Life is more than what man fancIea
Not . game Of idle chances;
But Il steadily advances
Up the the rugged heights Of time,
Till each complex web OF trouble,
Every sad hope's broken bubble,
; Hath a meaning most sublime.
More Of religion, lees ofprofession;
More Of frmness. less concession;
More OF freedom, less oppression,
IN the church and in the state;
More Of life and less Of fashion;
More oflove and less Of passion;
That will make us good and great
When true hearts divinely gifted,
From tho chaff oferror gifted,
On their crosses are uplifted,
Shall the world most clearly see
That earth's greatest time Of trial
Calls for holy self-denial,
Calls on men to do and be.
But forever and forever
Let it be the souls endeavor
Love from hatred TO discover,
And in whassoe'er we do.
Won by loves eternal beauty,
10 our highest sense Of duty
Evermore be firm and true.

You could see by his ragged clothes his

Ihc nmmOdating Man.

An amusing incident occurred on street
car the other day. woman OF fifty, made up
to look about twenty. five years Old, got aboard
at a crossing to find every seat occupied. She
stood for a moment, and then selecting poor
addressed man about twenty-five years of age,
she observed:
"Are there no gentlemen on this carr"
"lndeed, dunno" he replied, as he looked
up and down, "lt there hain't, and you are
going clear through, I'll hunt up one for you
at the end of the line"
There was an embarrassing silence for a
moment, and then light broke in on him all
of sudden, and he arose and said:
"You can have this seat, madam, | am allus
perfectly wiling to stand up and give my seat
to any body Older than myself"
That decided her She gave h'u i look
which he will not forget to his dying day. and
grabbing the strap she refused to sit down,
even when five seats had become vacant
