Rats Among tho Pork Packers.

1t Is, perhaps, not generally known, but it
Is fact that rats are one of the greatest ills
that packers life is heir to. The amount of
actual, tangible damage done by these vora-
cious, cunning and fearless animals is in it
self frightful in all the packing and meat
canning establishments. This direct loss OF
meat by the sharp teeth Of the small pests
runs in the larger places for into the thou
sands Of dollars per year. But this is not all
Often pieces Of the best and highest priced
meat are so spoiled by the nibbling of the
rats as to become unfit for use and unmarked
able. Then comes the damage done to the
buildings, especially the walls and partitions,
wherein the rats gnaw out their nests.
Rats, in fact, swarrn-if left to themselves
or combated with inadequate means-all over
such establishments. The placeis thus fairly
alive with them. Their great number and
the knowledge that retreat Is always open to
them make these hoI1les on hordes Of rats
reckless and more than beld. They will
scurry around and climb up and down the
wooden pillars and on the ceilings from which
the slaughtered cattle, transformed into
beeves and pieced carefully out to suit the
requirements of canning and packing, are
suspended. Nothing scares them; nothing
will drive them away. They know they have
a picnic and are bound to enjoy it. They
know that bounteous repast is spread for
them all the time, and they avail themselves
of the opportunity to their utmost, and grow
and fatten and breed On the choice cuts Of
meat. Such, then, is the condition of things
where nothing effective is done to change and
check it. At every large packing house in
town, however, as well as at the stock yards,
there is constant warfare waged against the
little pests. Men are specially employed as
rat cetchers, and they operate with tongues
and traps night and day, in the aggregate
succeeding in Kidding those places of many
thousands of rodents in the course of year,
but most decidedly not succeeding In bring
ing down their numbers to anything like
reasonable proportions. Chicago Herald.

 "A peculiarly brutal deed occurred yesterday, a negro woman inhuman'y beating her six-year-old boy 10 death. Her story is that she punished the boy for stealing coal, of which she had vainy tried to break him, and that she dld not intend to seriously in)ure him. The boy said that his mother sent him to a coal yard, ordering him to bring back bucket of coal, but gave him no. money. The man caught him taking coal and followed him home. When his mother heard it she pretended to have given him the money to buy it, and picking hlm up slammed him again,t the wall, breaking one arm and crushing in his side. Then she took leather strap and beat him with the heavy end until his screams brought in the neighbors, Who summoned the police and had her arrested. The child was put to bed and medical a,ten- ;ion summoned, hut hewas dying He spoke with difficulty. and nearly alto- gether by signs and mods of the head.

A curious effect of the wear and tear to which the earth's crust IS ever being subjected is exhibited in the slugul rly- capped pinnacles existing on the South
 river, in the Wahsatch mountains. There are hundreds of these slender pillars,
 ranging in height from forty to four hun dred feet, most of them crowned by large caps of stone. They are no, works of human art, as might almost be imag- med. but are the memorial monuments of the once rounded hills, from which they have been cut by the action of air and water. These pinnacles alone re main of some square miles of solid rock, which has been washed away to depth of four hundred feet The greater hard- ness of the surface has caused it to resist erosion more than the underlying rock, thus leaving the hugo stone caps perched aioh in aissoa the points of the thin col.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA
The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish
 It by FOrce-A Famous Retreat.

The present agitation concerning the relations between Canada and the United States recalls the time when the annexa- ton of that country was proposed to be brought about by force of arms. The project was entrusted to the brave General Montgomery, assisted by the famous patriots, Colonels Ethan Allen and Seth Warner. While engaged in this invasion Ethan Allen was taken prisoner by the British and sent 10 Eng land, where he experienced very harsh treatment.
 It was Colonel Warner who twice con ducted his men safely home, though the march was constantly surrounded by dangers. Once Montgomery sent them home because their time was out, and though they were willing to continue Tn service, they were without sufficient clothing, and none could he had Tn that country.
 Colonel Warner had hardly arrived home before ie heard that Montgomery had been killed, and the cause, as well IS the lives oi the men, were put n great jeopardy. He collected his men agaln and at once started for Canada 10 assist his countrymen in their extremity. But bis efforts were of no avail, and IL Was soon found necessary taSe up the line of retreat.
 It was the dead Oi winteI, and only necessity sanctioned moving the troops. The terror of pursuit and the rlgor o1 the season furnished sufficient cause foi alarm and haste. Colonel Warner re- Inained with the rear of the army, and aided them in many ways most etiec- l.. r-..tf . caring for the sick and this knowledge now came into excellent use.
 He must keep the army In motion, not day must be lost, and yet he was with out any chest of medicines. But he understood the medicinal use Of roots and herbs, and of proper care at critical times, and with these allies, he made an effectual fight against disease among his men.
 When TiconderoSa was reached and the roll called, thanks to Seth Warner but few vacancies in the ranks appeared.
 Col Warner saved the lives of hun dreds of mcs in this way, and he did noble work, bUt 1t remained for his namesake, II. H. Warner, head of Warner Safe Cure establishment, to give the same kind of remedies then used to the people of L. day, in "Warner's Log Cabin Remedies" !" These remedies have been adopted sfter thorough trial and investigation and they are remedies of esta blished reputation Being wholly vegetable, they cen he used without any fear as to the results.
 Among the new remedies is a Sarsa- parills for the blood, Hops and Buchu for the stomach and digestion, Cough and Consumption Remedy, ocaIpine for the head and hair, Rose Cream for that terrible disease, catarrh, a Log Cabin Liver Pill, a Log Cabin Plaster anu an Extract for internal and external use. Our readers may rest assured that there is merit in every article.
