But one night. at eleven o'clock, after

down SO suddenly that we had not time
to take in the sails or to fasten the

ley expressly says: II admit have no

anything l can absolutely prove to the
contrary, there may be spiritual things
capable of the same transmigration, with

as tho highest science of the day is una-
bic to show cause against tho possibility

A Rat at His Chin.

In an old house situated on Hamilton
street resides Bohemian family Tho
house stands short distance from the
water, and is infested with largo wharf
rats. On Saturday night last the mother
was aroused about midnight by tho
screams of her 2-ycar-old child, who was
sleeping beside her. The child had rolled
down beneath the bedclothing to the CEN
ter of the bed, and tho mother reached
down to lift the child up. In doing SO
her hand camo in contact with hugo
rat She Immediately dropped it with a
scream. The rat dashed across her body,
leapcd to the floor and disappeared
through a large rat hole in the room,
which had been previously covered, but
the rodent was strong enough to force
the covering from tho place The child
was bitten on the arm, but not severely,
rs its screams probably caused the rat to
pause. On Sunday night Anekew Toudy.
n boardcr in the same building, was
awakened about midnight by a feeling of
sutrocation. Ills first impression was
that a burglar had entered the room and
grasped him by tho throat. But to his
horror ho discovered hugo rat standing
OH his neck, its teeth buried in his chin,
and tho rat calmly sucking his blood.
The young man jumped up with 4 CRY of
alarm, and, grasping tho rodent by tho
back, lie hurled it to the floor and dis
patched it.-Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer

Shoes for tennis arc both of canvas and
leather, tan color usually, though it is
not uncommon to see them of checked
cheviot. The bottoms are nearly flat am,
have partial rubber ribbed solcs.
nanlkcrchicfs for tennis arc of col
orcd silk or colored muslin, though there
arc large muslin handkcrchicfs with
fancy borders in colors to match tho
leading patterns in tennis suitings
llandkcrchiefS for such use require to
be large and useful rather than dainty
and small
There is such Il variety in tennis cloths
both in pattern and price, that every one
ought to be able to suit herself There
are iianncls in solid colors, stripes and
checks, at 80 to so cents per yard; mo-
hair ut so cents (six yards makes plain
costumel, surah at G5 to 15 cents and
Scotch striped outing llanncls at 30 cents
u yard wide). There is also pretty cot
ton goods, striped Canton flannel, at 10
cents "a yard widc). All these are pretty
and suitable. Skirts can be of onccolor,
blouscs of another or both alike, or skirt
can be of flannel and blouse of silk The
best rule is to choose plain, neat styles
and leave the blazing blazers to tho un-
fortunate men, though some few girls
wear blazer jackets Just like their
brothers.
Tennis players should always wear the
shoes with rubber solcs and no heels, as
they do not slip nor destroy the court,
and always afford firm footing, which
no other shoes do, though the others are
certainly prcttier.-Fashion Letter

First Glance.

Fifty years ago the famous surgeon of
London was Sir Ashley Cooper. lie was
remarkable for his manual dextcrity and
also for the quickncss and accuracy with
which at a glance he took in the whole
situation. A striking proof of his pcne-
tration was given on his being called to
attend a Mr.. Blight, who had been shot
by an unknown assassin.
The moment Sir Ashley examined the
wound lie said "a pistol has been fired
at you with the left hand"
On seeing Mr.. Patch, Blight's partner.
he was SO struck by tho peculiar express
sion of his countenance that he whis-
pered: ''If that gentleman were left
handed should suspec. him of being the
murderer"
Patch was left handed, and, on being
tried and condemned, confessed his
guilt Youths Companion.

AS Professor Huxley almost challenges
me to state what think of that story, I
have only to say that fully believe it,
and, moreover, that Professor Huxley,
in this very article, has removed the
only consideration which would have
been serious obstacle to my belief. If
he were prepared to say, on his high
scientific authority, that the narrative
involves a contradiction of established
scientific truth, could not but defer to
such decision, and | might be driven
to consider those possibilities Of interpo-
lation in the narrative which Professor
Huxley is good enough to suggest to all
who feel the improbability of tho story
