RATS
Township in PennsyIvania OverruT

Township in Pennsylvania Overrun
With a New Breed of the Rodents.
[Towanda Pa) SpecialI
A number of years ago farmer living in
Burlington Township, this county, received
as a present from a friend in England a
pair of peculiar rats. They were about one
third larger than the common mouse, and
their fur was dark blue color The farmer
kept them in large cage, where large
litter of young was born.
These scattered over the premises, AND
in a year not only the farmers place but
the whole neighborhood was overrun by
the rats. All attempts to exterminate
them failed until pair of pet Norway rats
belonging to another farmer escaped with
a large family of young from their cage.
These rats also increased rapidly, and COM
menced at once warfare against the En-
glish pests. In a short time the latter were
entirely eXterminated.
about year ago farmers in different
parts of the township noticed now and
then rats of enormous size and of breed
never before seen in the county about their
premises. They were nearly as large as
muskrats and of bright gray color. They
exhibited very little fear, and at times
boldly disputed possession of barns and
outbuildings with their owners. These
rats are now swarming the vicinity in i'm
mense numbers, and have become a source
of much terror and apprehension to the
inhabitants.
They undermine cellar floors and walls
and foundations of buildings, and have de-
stroyed many cisterns and ruined milk
houses. Many farmers have had to aban-
don their cellars. Granaries and barns
swarm with them day and night. Farmers
say damage to the amount of thousands
of dollars has been done by the pests this
season. A farmers boy entered a corn
crib in which he had discovered a number
of the rats and attacked them. They
turned upon him and fought him so fierce-
ly that he was compelled to retreat after
being badly bitten about the legs and
hands.
A farmers wife was awakened one night
by screams issuing from a room where two
of her small children were sleeping. She
found that the rats had attacked the chill
dren while they were asleep. The rats
stood their ground when the mother came
to their rescue, followed by the father,
who killed two of them. The children
were both bitten on the hands and in the
face. The inhabitants of the neighborhood
are so much alarmed by the bold and de-
structive incursions of these rats that they
intend to hold meetings to devise some
means to rid the community of them.

accurate. The American plan Of en-
ploying Court reporters is extending,
but it is not yet universal. However,
there is no reason why a Judges notes
in this Kingdom should not be as full
and as accurate as any notes a reporter
could make, owing to the necessarily
slow process OF examination, in two
languages usually. And it should be
remembered also that the Judge can
take his own time and do this essential
part Of his duty thoroughly.
Several important reports were pre-
scented from committees OF the Legisla-
ture; and His Excellency Mr.. Gibson
likewise submitted the report and state
ment OF account of the Cabinet Relief
Committee, which had expended sc, 1886
in providing temporary relief to the SUI
ferers by the great fire in April last.
This report was ordered to be printed.
The Secretary OF Foreign Affairs, in
reply to a question by Mr.. Cecil Brown,
stated that the Chinese who arrived III
the Kingdom since 18th May last had
regular passports, mostly issued at Ho-
nolulu, emitting them to return. These
passports had been vised by the Consuls
General at Hongkong and San Fran
cisco. The greatest care was taken be-
fore issuing passports, and regulations
were being strictly enforced. Owing to
the very large resident Chinese popula-
Al L i -
that the arrivals on passports should be
considerable; but there are hopes that
in the not distant future the arrivals vi.
not be in excess OF departures, as has
been the case in the past. Restricted
Chinese immigration is the policy which
the Government is evidently deter
mined to enforce.

Photo Stamps.

Photo stamps have been the rage
among fashionable people for some time
in the United States. An enterprisiug
Yankee" was the introducer of the
craze. The stamps are gotten up in
Photographic colors to resemble an or
binary postage stamp, with the excep-
ton that they have a small photograph
of the sender Of the letter in the place OF
the contour Of some political worthy
more or less known to fame.
The fashion Of photo stamps has
at last reached Honolulu by the grace of
a fashionable young man, who will now
be able 10 advertise his good looks in the
uttermost parts Of the earth

A RIVAL TO THE "KAzoo."
The "Hewgag" the Latest Novelty
Among Musical Instruments.

Among Musical Instruments.
philadelphia Press.l
The "hewgag' is the latest novelty
among musical instruments. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated; it must be heard to
be praised or condemned. 1t is a twin to
the "kazoo," but it is bigger, costs more,
and looks like an Internal machine The
"hewgag" was intended to be a modifica-
ton of the banjo.
Attached to an ordinary banjo drum at
one point in its circumference is a bar hav-
ing ten piano-like keys. Running beneath
the keys and the drum is a single string of
catgut, fastened to the extreme end of the
bar of piano keys, and to the opposite
point in the circumference of the drum.
Parallel with the string stretched across
the under side of the drum is a slender
shaft of wood, which can be turned by a
handle projecting from the edge OF the
drum. The shaft of wood has on it a toOthed
wheel. As the shaft turns the teeth strike
the string and cause the vibrations The
sound emitted is C -oss between the filing
OF a saw and grinding d Coffee mill. Pres
sure upon the piano-keys, while the shaft
is being turned, varies the notes.
Altogether, the ''hewgag'' is a compli-
Gated instruments AMI needs skillful ma
npulation TO be played with success. The
claim is made for it that it is legitimate
musical instrument, resembling greatly
the banjo, AMI harmon Eng with the pi-

worse than the ''kazoo," and no crowd
could hear its music without wanting to rug
