Every old East Indian officer knows
that when a musk rat runs over the bot
ties in your cellar you might as well
throw the contents away. They will
have the smell and the taste Of the musk,
and nothing that you can do will cure it.
/ know it is story that you won't be-
Geve, because you haven't seen it your
self, but you can cork bottle Of ale,
say, as securely az you like. seal it and
put it away, and if the rats get chance
to play about it you viii find it wholly
undrinkable. I don't know how the
smell gets into the liquor, but there it Is.
I have seen bottles washed and scrubbed
and rubbed with sand, then opened and
found to be ruined. There is 10 animal
that the old school Indian will kill with
such thorough consciousness Of doing a
good work as the rat.-Chicsgo News

Give OR six years ago that woman
was great belle, said my neighbor, as
the door closed On the shocking example
of Restricting.
''She came here for the first time tho
morning after the great ball. She
looked tired, and didn't wonder. lily
brother, who was out late the night be-
fore, told me that he heard a gentleman
call her by name as he handed her into
carriage after little supper at the close
of an evening at the theatre. 1t was
midnight and she was just going homo
to dress for the ball. You can guess the
pace she was keeping. She bought moth
ing but a little violet powder to whiten
the great dark circles under her eyes.
Next season she was regular customer
for rose leaf waters of one kind and an
other to rub little bloom on her checks.
After that it was paint, and now look at
her. Sometimes her face breaks out in
blotches and she has terrible work to
cure them. Eliza Putnam Heaton.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Mr. S. S. 81. Clark,
of St. Louis, general manager of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, is stopping at the
Windsor hotel Speaking of the present
trunk line warfare in emigrant rates he
said the policy of his company is to be
guided entirely by the action OF the trans
continental association. ''We are not
strong enough TO take any opposing ac-
ton even if we should choose to do SO, but
in regard to the present troubles / do not
see that we have anything whatever to do
with them. 1t is purely a trunk affair. :"
Referring to the present general reduction
of freight rates Mr.. Clark said: Il do
not really see that there is any present
prospect for rise in freight rates. Rail-
road business is in a deplorably unsettled
state and mere rumor is often deemed
sufficient cause for cutting rates"
