1t is but little over century ago-1775
that the first brown rat (the ordinary
house rat) made his appearance in Amer
ica- He came as a stowaway on ship
board, either from India or Persia, or pos
sibIy from some Mediterranean port. Rats
were unknown in Europe until the middle
of the eighteeth century. In every town,
village and hamlet in the United States
now the rat Is almost as well known as the
dog or the cat and the rodent population
must be far larger than either of the
others. So rapid is the increase of the
species that a single pair, II unmolested
for a year, will have an offspring Of hun
dreds in that time. In dwellings and city
sewers the house rat is the ruler, and his
black brother is driven to the wall. In the
fields and along the marshes bordering the
sea coast the muskrat and the cotton rat
hold sway. Rats Of many species are now
to be found wherever human habitatipn
exists 1t is easier to render a building
fireproof than ratproof.-New York Mail

The Old Man Had Hunted oodchucks

When the Lake Shore switchmenn first
went out the company brought into Chicago
all the grangers they could pick up along
the line and set them to work. Among
them was one old fellow who didn't look or
act as If he had ever seen railroad before,
and appearded more like backwOOdsman
from way up the woods than anything else.
The engineers and firemen did not like the
idea of making up trains with green men,
and ''scabs" at that, and so one afternoon
an engineer says 10 his fireman:
when we make up No. Il | will pull
back and get good run on him and we'll
mash that old cuss, just to make an example
of him."
The fireman nodded assent, and they both
laughed at the thought of what good joke
they were going tO have on the old man.
They got several cars started back. and
then. a. the old cOdger went in to make the
coupling. the engineer put on steam and
came up with rush and a bang that was
heard all over the yards. Then the engineer
told the fireman TO jump down and run
back and see how badly the old man was
mashed. Just as the fireman got back the
granger came out from beneath the cars,
looking as cool as watermelon on ice
Thunder and lightning" exclaimed the
fireman; did you make that cOupling?'
You bet your boots did, replied the
old man: I've hunted wOodchuckS too
long TO be fooled on tindin' hole like that. :"

Brandreth's Pills have been used by mil
lions of human beings. Their success is
founded upon the theory of reason, and an
attentive observation of symptoms of dis
ease. Whatever makes bad digestion breeds
disease, and whatever makes good digestion
cures disease. Brandreth's Pills make good
digestion, purify the blood, and remove all
bad humorS out Of the body by the organs
of the stomach and bowels. They act in
harmony with the vital action and work of
nutrition; the strength increases, the skin
and eye become clear, and the symptoms Of
the malsdy are surely rendered milder by
their use. They are harmless for all ages

An Early Weather Prophet.

For more than thirty-fve years pre-
ceding the establishment of the weather
bureau by the government Isaac Yocum
weather prophet for the people of Della
ware county. If the breast-bone of the
goose, the hogs melt, the ground hog and
other we'll established weather signs cor
respond with Isaac Yocums predictions,
well and good; if not, they were at fault
that year and everybody so understood
it. Mr.. Yocum was gathered to his
fathers soon after the establishment of
the weather bureau department, but
were he living to-day he would say in his
jocular way: every snow this winter
will be a rain" Weather Solon Yocum
was butcher, and one of his theories re-
specting the weather was the set of the
wind at the turn of the seasons. If, for
instance, during the season of the fall
equinox-say from September Is to the
22d-the wind was generally in the east,
shifting southwark and finally clearing
up by shifting around to southwest, then
to northwest, Mr.. Yocum would make a
contract at very low figure to pasture
cattle on the Hog Island pasture
lands until about the goth of December.
He would take run through Delaware
county, purchase large number of thin
cattle at low prices and would invariably
have three months of warm weather and
the best of pasture for his cattle, which
he would fatten and sell at high prices.
During the winter solstice, along about
the Goth of December of 1885, the wind
hung around the southeast and finally
veered to northwestward and back again
by the southwark, thus betokening, ac-
cording to the Yocum theory, which in
variably held good thirty years ago. a
warm winter, with much more rain than
snow, and, when three or four days of
cold weather overlook us, to be followed
suddenly by warm spells. .-Philadelphia
