A CarnivorOus Mule.

GRAETFoRK, H., August 10.-Some
time ago news item appeared in the
GIobe-Dsmocrat about a mule that
deYoured young ducks. Henry Bircher
living three miles west of Grantsfork, in
Decks Prairie, owns a mule that beats
that feat badly. Mr.. Bircher's mule not
only eats ducks, but last spring, while
running loose IN the barn-yard, the
animal cornered a number Of spring
chickens and deYoured half a dozen
before the brute could be stopped. one
day Mr.. Bircher's boys were plowlng
near pond in the field. Some neigh
bors' lads were fishing at the pond, and
when going home passed close to where
the mule was at work. They tired the
beast on fish, which the mule ate with
great relish and evidently wanted more
of the fnny tribe to devour. The Won
derful mule also eats cheese, meat and
bread. perterring The latter article with

About White Rats

Merrick Ford, of Americas, Ga, has a
pair of white rats that he carries in his
pockets, or lets around his store at will
They are his pets, and he plays with
them when he is not better occupied.
wednesday one of them attacked big
old black rat and killed it in 8 short
while. They hunt up their cu'ored
brethren. and attack them whenever
thew are found, and generally Kill them
before giving up the fight.
Leonard n. Taber, says the Norwich
CConn0 Bulletin, has pair Of South
American rats, called albinos, which sre
nerfectly white, about the size of ordin.
arv rats, with pink eyes and transparent
ears. Unlike the rodent of the wharves
and cellars of this locality, they are
nerfectly tame and harmless, and can
be handled as freely as kittens. They
are great rovers and have a desire to in
vestIgate, but will come on being called,
and allow themselves to be picked up
and nut into their box. They are curl
osit Is which attract considerable atten-
ton and are very rare.

Did the Gator Swallow the Man.

The Orange City (Fla.) Times says
that tramp called at L, P. Thursby s
house in that town recently and asked
for nights lodging. He was shown to
the barn. Not until after Mr.. Thursby
had returned some time did he think of
the ten-foot alligator his boy had in the
barn for the entertainment of strangers
next winter, and worried considerably
about the man. As soon as dressed he
hurried out to the barn the next morn
ing to see about the man. He found
the door locked, with key turned on the
inside. He forced side window open,
found the alligator in its usual corner,
but the man was missing. The evidence
gathered seems to point to the destIuc
ton OF the man during the night, as the
animal ate nothing whatever during the
next few days. After this new outbreak
Brother Patti, of the Palatka Herald,
will have to look 10 his laurels.

ALadv K1Il. Panther.

Miss - Cher name we withhold by
request), who teaches the Glynn school,
in Coleman. Valley, displayed an uncom
mon amount amount of pluck the other
day. She arrived at the school house a
little earlier than usual and was busying
herself in arranging things in the little
schoOlroom for the morning session,
when she was startled by the loud bark
ing of dogs close at hand. She went to
the front door and discovered two of
Jim Smiths large deer hounds barking
IN furious manner, at the foot of tall
tree. She went to the spot and dis
covered large panther crouching on
one of the lower limbs, its large yellow
eyes cleaning fercely at the dogs below,
while it dashed its tail viciously from
side to side. The glance of those fiery
eyes would have been enough for most
women, and some men for that matter.
but she is made of the old Puritan stock,
and it takes something as small as a
mouse to brighten her. She did not
faint or go into Mysteries, but did 60 into
the school-houSe and bring forth her
Winchester. She then walked around
the base of the tree until she arrived at
a point where she could take accurate
aim at vital srOt, and fired. The shot
was answered by an unearthly screech,
rs only a panther can give, and the
large spotted body fell to the ground.
After one or two cOnvulsive quivers the
huge mass was hfeless. 1t meas
ured seven feet from tip to tip. It

A Dog Dies at His Post of Duty.

Some time last fall a well-known
huntsman here lost a very valuable
pointer dog. and the most strenuoue
sxertions made to find the animal proved
frultless, so finally he was given up as
being hopelessly lost. Last Monday the
owner of the dog, in company with three
other gentlemen. was travelling through
a section of Buck Hill woods. when they
came across the skeleton of dog In
attitude, the left fore paw raised and
the tail out straingt as a ramrod, the
bones being held in position by the sun
dried cords and sinews. The collar
around the neck established beyond a
doubt The fact that the remains were
those of the long-lost Leo, and further
search brought to view, about rod
from the dogs nose, the bones and
feathers of q partridge. The mystery
now becomes clear as day. With the
wonderful and inscrutable instinct that
controls birds and brutes. the partridge
had lain perdu, afraid to rise. while the
the dog, like the Roman sentry at
Pompeii. had died at his post OF duty.
The hunter exhibits the recovered
collar as proof positive of the truth OF
his story.-ProYideDCe Journal.

Eighth and Market Streets, has on
exhibition at his establishment a quar-
tet of monstrosities in the shape of a

Several DAYS ago Mr.. Pareer's Maltese
cat gave birth to four animals of a com
binstion of wonderful characters Tics.
One is black in color, the head and body
being those of a dog, while the legs,

very fine and favorite elephant, which
was supplied daily in his presence with
q certain allowance of food, but being

ney, the keeper of the beast diminished

tied the greatest signs of pleasure. The
feeding time came, and the keeper laid
before it the former full ALLOWANCE Of

the other untouched. The officer,
knowing the sagacity OF his favorite,
saw Immediately The fraud that had
been practiced, and made the man con-

has remarkable young cat. Itignores
mice entirely. 1t will have nothing but
red squirrels. 1t goes out into the
woods each morning and catches one
red squirrel. One squirrel lasts for q
whole days meals. The hind quarters
serve for breakfast, the fore quarters
for dinner, and the cat tapers of her
appetite by picking the hide and head
for supper. 1t is hard work to catch a
red squirrel mapping. and the cat realizes
that one squirrel must go a long way.

There is only one thing which should
ever make man think OF going to China,
md that is some weil-paid certainty. You
might as well go to sneol as go to China
sight-seeking. See what 100 900 Chinese
do in San Francisco and then reckon up
what chances an ordinary man has
against 400, 000, 900 OF them on their native
ground, where they eau live comfortably
on Sc a month. They can do everything
that a white man does and now that they
are finishing with us as 60 betweens, and
to take our ideas from us, they really
want us for nothing. A good many people
say when the country is given up to the
railroads there will be great chances for
foreigners"
But even s%upposing at first that the
Chinese kill n million or two in railway
accidents it will be reckoned as a much
more desirable experience than employing
the hated foreign devil" There are tele-
graphs all through the country now, and
yet not a white man is employed on them.
What white men are in the country now
simply exist as the puppets of the Chinese
You may think perhaps that there are
great nance for American inventions and
machinery in the country, but a people
who take to bed with them a flea trap,
and who have had a silk-weaving loom
running for the last 1000 years which no
modern machinery can compete with,
don't want SO very much from any one.
But to talk of going to China now is ride
ulous, when the Chinese are slowly but
surely edging out the few foreigners that
are tnere.-Shanghai Cor. San Francisco

Mr.. William Waldorf Aston is, in ap-
pearance, the ideal OF a prosperous young
business man-stocky, wide awake, and
commonplace looking, with nothing to
indicate tnat he knows anything outside
of real estate matters. He Is the only
Aston who has ventured into any other
field than business. A. a politician, young
Mr.. Astor was disastrously defeated at the
polls; as minister to Italy he was buried,
and as an author he is far from being
successful. Now he is at work on a play.
1t is not generally believed that he will
be the long-looked-for American dramat-
ist He Is the sole male representative of
the family, and it is no secret that the
elders view his excursions into art, litera-
ture, politics, and the drama with scant
favor. They argue that with 500, 000, 900
and 81 900 houses to look after he has all
that he needs to occupy his mind; but
young William Waldorf goes on with his
artistic efforts just the same. He has a
charmingly unaffected and direct manner
and a beautiful wife. whom he loved and
married in Philadelphia. New York Cor

Vassili Vereschagin, the celebrated
Russian painter, contributes an article of
personal recollections OF the late Gen.
Skobeleff to the current number of Nine.
Adams Nouvelle Revue. Vereschagin
accompanied Skobelef during the latter's
early life In Turkestan. The anecdotes
and exploits OF the daring general, as
related by vereschagin. would be deemed
inventions were they not contemporary
facts and well authenticated Skobeleff's
courage was surpassed by only one thing,
says yereschagin-his superstition. He
would charge on a whole horde of Tur-
comans single handed for the fun of the
thiny or AS an example to his soldiers, but
he would leap up from the table pale
with fear II the salt stand happened to be
upset. and he would swim his horse across
the Danube to show that 1t could be done,
but he would not dare enter a roo where
three candles were lighted at the same
time. Chicago Tribune.

1t is said that OF late bed clothing has
been taken to Chinatown in large quantl-
ties. Armed with a bamboo stick about
our feet long. which may be readily
heightened to fifteen or twenty feet by a
telescope slide, the Mongolisn hoodlum
makes his way about dusk to a back or
side window, which has been left open at
the top for ventilation. The pole is stuck
through the window, being stretched out
rs it is inserted, and by means OF a small
hook at the end bedspreads. blankets,
sheets, and pillows are pulled through
the opening. 1t has sometimes occurred
that bed clothing has thus been removed
while the bed contained an occupant, who
was sleeping soundly. In the case of an
alarm the pole Is dropped, and. being on
the outside Of the building, the hoodlum
easily makes his escape .-San Francisco
Chronicle.
