History of the Rat,

No, not the slang phrase, but the
bothcrsom little rodent. Rats are
natives of Asia and their raids west
ward belong to comparatively mod
ern times. The little animal was I'M
known in ancient Europe. The black
rat first came to Europe from Asia
in the Sixteenth century, and about
the beginning of the Seventeenth or
the ending of the Sixteenth century
he arrived in America. This black
rat was the common house rat until
the brown or gray rat made his APP
pearence in 1875. The gray rat
came to Europe from India by way
of Russia, and is now known as the
Norway rat from n mistaken tradi-
ton that it came from Norway to
England, and from the latter coun-
try to America.-St. Louis Republic.

The Clerk and the Image.

The Baltimore American, in an
swer to an inquiry conce rning the
Clerk and the Image, says:
at is one of the most famous
stories in the ''Gesta Romanorum."
There was an image in Rome on
whose outstretched forefinger were
the words "Strike here" A clerk
(the ancient name for priest), in
solving the riddle, observed the re-
Fiction of the forcing er on the
ground at noon and marked the
spot. Returning at midnight, he
dug until his spade reached n trap
door, below which n flight of mar
BILE steps descended into n succession
of spacious halls full of gold and sill
yer and benutious furniture and
crowded with men and women, who
sat in solemn silence The whole
place was brilliantly lighted by a
cnrbuncle suspended in one corner Of
the reception-room, and opposite
stood an archer in the act of taking
aim at the jewel. AS the priest re-
turned through this hall he seized a
diamond hilted knife, intending to
carry it of as witness to the truth
of his story. Immediately all was
dark around him. The archer had
shot his arrow, the carbuncle was
shattered, the staircase had van
ished, and the priest was buried alive.

ACuriouS judicial Decision.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A case has just been decided by the
Pennsylvania supreme court, in
which several questions are discuss
ed which are of practical interest to
all persons who buy food Mt hotels
or restaurants. Chief Justice Paxon
lends some spice to the discussion by
n vigorous dissenting opinion. The
questions arose in proceeding
which was instituted against a man
named Miller, who keeps n restaurant
In Plttsburg, to recover the penalty
of 500 imposed by the third section
of the Act of May 81, 1885, for the
sale of oleomargarine. Two men
went into Miller's dlace, md among
the articles of food furnished them
was small dish containing oleo-
margarine. The majority sentiment
OF the supreme court is voiced by
Justice Clark, who says, at was the
use OF oleomargarine as food, and
the fraud perpetrated upon the pub
lie in its sale, which was the mischief
to be remedied." Chief Justice Pax
on, in his dissenting opinion, said
that the guests had a right to sat
isfy their appetite, but after filing
their stomachs they should not also
fill their pockets, and carry away the
food they could not eat.

The Cigarette.

Says cigarette drummer: 1.-THE
consumption of cigarettes has fallon
off greatly during the last year. The
house l used to represent used TO have
large trade in all popular brands OF
cigarettes. 1t still sells largo quaint
ties of them, but not more than 60 per
cent of as many packages as year
ago. A great many persons who used
to smoke cigaretts have quit doing SO
and are now smoking cigars. The re-
suit is that while the cigarette trade
has decreased the cigar trade has in
creased. l don't know how to account
for this state of facts, unless it is due
to the onslaught made during the last
two years by the press and pulpit up
on the cigarette habit. New York

Lena felt utterly downcast and weary,
and, when the cab stopped before
some dark gaunt building, she felt in

stumbled up pathway, disappearing
in the shadow of some great tree.
Presently light shone iaintly, by

about upstairs; but she made no re-

Two Lads Mistake Wolves for

On Sunday afternoon, in the Bos-

Fort Smith, Ark, two boys, George
and Charles Gray, were out in the
woods, and found what they sup
posed were puppies lying under the
ledge of a rock. They caught the
animals, which snnrled and bit vi
ciously, and started for home The
supposed puppies were a pair of cub
wolves, and before the boys had gone
very far they were attacked by
large she wolf, mother of the cubs.
and both were terribly bitten and
scratched. The boys drew their pock..
ct knives in defense, and after hard
fight killed the wolf.

TRUE HEROlSM.
,t~thers write of battles fought

LetAthers write of battles fought
On bloody, gastly fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins
And death the man who yields;
But will write Of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins
Who struggles on through weary years
Against himself and wins.
He Is hero, staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low;
And stands erect in manhood's might,
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man who drew q sword
In foray or in raid.
II calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle, to o'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume or drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread;
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor, then, to that brave heaat,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part,
Who conquers and is free
He may not wear hero's crown
Or fill hero's grave,
But truth will place his name among
The bravest OF the brave.
