Oscillation Extraordinary.
trrom the Norwich (conn.) Bulletin

tFrom the Norwlch tConh) Btnlenn.)
A rather strange incident occurred in
yard at Norwich, Conn, a few days
ago. The yard at times appears to be
the meeting place Tor rodents and on
the day in question steel trap, baited
with stale cheese, was set for their re-
ception. Several persons were watch
ing the trap when large rat put in
an appearance and walked towards the
trap. He was within few feet of it
when favorite cat clambered over the
fence into the yard. The rat stopped.
So did the cat. They seemed to recog-
nizs each other. After looking at one
another moment the distance between
them was lessened. Finally they were
nose to nose and actually kissed each
other. They remained together few
minutes, when the rat took a knowing
glance at the trap and ran away in the
opposite direction. Thecat and rat were
evidently old friends and the house pet
probably notified the house pest of the
dangerous trap.

al player at the game swim. 1t is told
that one night about three weeks ago
five gentlemen of rank aud wealth sat
down to the fascinating game. The ante
was S. rSl5 to see the blind, providing
some mean cuss did not raise it. The
limit was placed at the modest sum of
$1,000, and the game went on fnriously
for ten hours. 1t was daybreak when II
gentleman well known in the social aud
political world at Washington quilted
the palatial residence of his friends a loser
to the amount of 81, 500; another dis
tipguished official was behind 5000,
and member of congress short in his
pocket $3.50. The money was won by
man who has national reputation.
1t is said that the loser of tue 81, 800
has been in hard luck for over n year,
and within that time has lost over $780,

Pursued by Wolves in Canada.


A young friend of mine, being out
after dark one winters night, was pur-
sued by pack. Heheard them afar of,
and Immediately ran Mt the top of his
speed for home. He was bonn in the
backwoods, fact which probably saved
his life, for lie tackled and did his best to
throw them off his scent. 1 can not re.
call his burning words, yet I do remem-
ber that he only reached his shanty i'll
time to bang the door in the face OF the
leading volt, and that the pack snuff4d
aud howled about the place all night
long, disappointed at losing their prey.
Next day, in company with several other
daring men, he dug pits for them, iudg-
ing that they had not left the spot, but
were hiding in neighboring wood.
These pits were covered with light sticks,
laying thin covering of earth over all,
with bait on the top. Next night the
wolves came again, snnffed the carrion,
fell into the pits, and there remained till
the morning, when the associates Issued
forth with axes to dash out their brains,
skin them, and make VOWS that they
were ready to be eaten alive tomorrow
if they could "trouser,'' such pile OF dol.
lars as they were likely to get for their
beautiful skins.

How Col. Taylor Lost a Wager.

The Carson Appeal recalls an incident
which happened years ago on the Com
stock. Bob Taylor, the lawyer, used to
sit with his back up against Judge Cox's
desk in the justice court. One day Cox
upset bottle of ink and the contents
went down the back of Taylor's neck.
The latter sprang up in rage, with:
What the devil do you mean by pour
ing water down my neck ?'
L poured no water down your neck,
sir. l deny that 1 poured any water
down your neck. !"
1T could have come from nowhere
else. I'll bet you $40 that can prove
it by every man in the room ?"
The court carelessly threw down ten
dollar piece which Taylor covered, to be
informed that the liquid which SO both.
cred his back was ink.

STRANGE Loss of sluht.

In the course Of q recent debate on
vivisectlon IN the Prussian Landtag, the
minister of public worship, Won Gosslcr,
cited the following remarkable case:
''A young lady belonging to an aristo.
cratic family i'll KonigsheIg, gradually
lost her power OF vision, until at last she
was entirely blind. Her eye, on being
examined, was found TO be perfectly
sound, whence it followed that the seat
of her trouble must be in the brain. All
treatment proved unavailing, until the
discovery was made that she had re.
ceived some months previously heavy
blow on the head from falling board.
Professor Munck, the famous expert
mentajist, who examined her, convinced
the oculist and the surgeon that the af-
fected part must be that section of the
brain which his experiments on monkeys
had proved to be the central station for
sensations of sight. The blow had evi.
debtly injured the membrane of the
brain. This made perforation of the
skull necessarily very difficult oper-
ation-which, however, in this case was
comparatively simple, because the exact
locality Ill the brain was known, where
as in the case of a prince whose skull
was perforated for similar reason,
previous to DIR. Munck's discoveries, tne
operation had to be repeated thirty-two
times. The young lady recovered her
eyesight completely"

San Francisco BootbIacks.

"Tell me, Joe," said Post reporter
to one Of the proprietors of one OF the
oldest bootblack stands III the city,
something about the knights of the
backing brush" He and his partner
were soon interested in the subject, and
impaired the following information in
broken English: The bootblacks of the
city are principally Mexicans, Italians
and Portuguese; Of late, too, a few
Americans, principally California-born
boys, have crept in. 1t is not healthy
occupation, for it brings on diseases OF
the chest, spine and abdominal regions

wrist and forearm. After polishing
twenty pairs of boots or shoes, we feel
like taking rest and glass of beer.
We are always content when we aver
age 50 or So apiece q day. Many
others are satisfied with 81, and when
that is earned they go off for
good comida. All the large and we'll
patronized stands in the city have re-
lay of men, and in several of them $40
and even $50 is taken in. These boot
black stands are valuable property. Five
years ago we paid for this small place n
premium of $3.50. To-day it is worth at
least 500, and yet we don't appear to be
doing big trade, but, then, you see, We
often get 10 aud Is cents pair. One
man, who started few weeks ago with
one stand in popularlocality, has made
several thousand dollars by building and
renting new stands. In the barber
shops, rs rule, the proprietors take
the 10 cents charged for boot-clcaning,
aud pay the boys all the way from Ss5 to
$40 week. If you want to help the
bootblack along in those places you must
tip him an extra or 10 cent piece. One
barber few years ago let his bootblack
take the coin. This boy made $75 u
monthat it. There's money in the busi-
ness, but there's bad health Also

that good, round premiums be placed in

not for the most rapid shoers, as this
has little or nothing to do with the aim
but for the skillfulness, neatness,

that the committee be selected, not from

THAT AWFUL COWBOY.

And with neither ccat nor vest;

In apeaceful town out west;
His muddy homcebun trousers

And bis yells at times. old rcusers,
He said were '.just for luck"
He had big horse-pisto|,
And he stated he could smash
A small-sized watch's crystal
At hundred yards, for cash.
He wore no tie or collar, e
And his shirt, not over fine,
Cost Just ono half dollar
In the days OF "Auld Lang Syne.r
He scorned the town officials,
Unmindful of their stars,
And carved uncouth initials
ON the village liquor bars.

And whnnc'er he took drink
He called the landlord SONNY
And p-id him with wink.
With noisy song and whistle
He on n horse-olock sat,
And fired his old horsc-p,stol
At the mayors bcc-gum hat.
He paled the ladies' faces
with his loud, sa-donic laugh,
md made unco,tb grimaces
At tho constable and staff.

In u way that raised n laugh,
