The Congo Treaty.

WASHINGTON, June ia number of
inquiries have been received at the state
department from philanthropic organiza.
tons and individuals as to the failure of
the United States to signify its adherence
to the Congo treaty, the final ratification
OF which must be exchanged before the
end OF the month. This treaty is an
agreement to suppress the slave trade, the
sale OF breech- loading firearms and in.
toxicants in the Congo district of emma
torial Africa, and nearly all of the great
powers have accepted it. To the inquiries
the state department replied that the sinh
leet was still pending in the United States
senate and the department does not feel
at liberty to discuss the matter generally
but 1t is proper 10 say, as the result of re-
sent correspondence. that it is not inn
probable that the treaty will go into effect
at the appointed time in respec. to all of
the signatories except the United States.
and It will be lett open to this
government to give its adhesion
hereafter. The opponents of the treaty,
In the last session OF the senate, took their
stand upo several propositions. One was
that the approval OF the treaty by the
United States would carry with il the
recognition of certain French claims to a
large part of Liberia which recent events
show are now being actively pushed. and
as hat country is regarded as one of our
wards we could not permit such aggression.
1t was also urged that the United States
could not, consistently with the Monroe
doctrine, undertake to join IN a plan of
respecting the affairs of another
continent, and again it would be unwise
Tor the United States to give recognition
% the present rather broad claims of
nations to the best portions of
Africa which are tacitly recognized BY
he treaty.

Peculiar Proposition From a

OGDEN, Utah; June I2.-The commit
tee appointed by the Methodist conference
which has Just closed, to audit The &C.
counts of Sam Small in connection with
the university, report that they find him
in arrears over 81, 900. 1t was decided
that no action should be taken IN the
erring minister's case. but that the latter
be lett with the Georgia conference for
whatever settlement Sans brethren in
the South deem best.
The report Of the committee on "Tbe
Condition of Affairs in Utah" is iuIca-
tive that the ministers do not look upon
the redemption Of Utah as an early &C.
complIshment. They say, in substance.
that there is no field in which error is so

mains that numerous arrests have been

A Strange Custom.

According to a Yorkshire (England)
notion, new born infant should ALWAYS
he placed in the arms of maiden be-
fore it is touched by anyone else; and in
some instances its right hand is bound
in cloth during the first day of its ex-
istence in order that it may gather
riches when grown to manhood or wo-
manhood estate. In many parts of the
United States, Germany. France and
Holland, as well as throughout the Brit
ish Isles, it is considered very important
that an infant should ego up. before it
goes down in the world. Thus, if child
is born in the lower story, of a house.
1T is instantly bundled up by one of the
old women and carried upstairs; if the
event occurs in the upper story the same
old woman is expected to take the child
IN her arms and Chamber upon the top of
a table, bureau, or even a chair-any
thing to get the little one ND in the

Natures Nervine.

Dandelion is the coming nervine for
women. More than one experienced
physician tells of its use in cases of nerv-
GUS depression and melancholy almost
suicidal. Hysteria with indigestion is
most successfully treated by dandelion
alone, using a strong decoctiou of the
roots. For. school girls growing green
and black with overstudy or bad circula-
ton from any cause, for excitable wo-
men and those hysteric subjects who
make their friends lives burden if not
their own, the simplest remedy is q cup
of strong dandelion coffee three times a
day. But it must be strong and from
the roots, fresh as possible, not the, dried
stuff sold as dandelion, which is half
bread crumbs, and the other half any
age with the life roasted out. No Off

coction of herbs and roots fresh from

REVENGE AND SUICIDE OF 4 RAT.
Tho Rodent Furnishes Physician for
Experimenting nm Te. Rrsx


The Rodent Furnishes q Physician for
Experimenting on It's Body.
Dr. Il j. Richie, physician of Beaver
Falls, Pa., has had an expe ience with a
rat which he will not forget He has
been experimenting on rats, dogs and
cats and other small animals for the
purpose of studying the process of di-
gestlon. He would place the animal
under the influence of chloroform, and
then after cutting them open and not
ing the working of the digestive organs
would sew up the wound, anoint it with
healing salve and then let the animal go.
Saturday he captured large rat and
placed it under the influence of the drug,
when, to his surprise, he discovered that
the animal was one that he had pre-
viously operated upon.
He examined it for second. and then,
just as he turned to his case to get the
necessary instruments to make further
Investigations, the rat revived, jumped
from the table. sprang into the open fire
place and escaped up the chimney. The
doctor, thinking the rat would pop out
of the top of the chimney, ran out on
the street to see it, but no rat appeared.
That night as he was asleep he was
awakened by sharp pain in his finger,
and opening his eyes he saw a rat. which
proved to be the one which had escaped
from him the previous evening, scamper
off the bed and up the chimney again.
He examined his finger and found it
badly bitte1f
He washed and bound up the wound
and went to sleep, only to be again
awakened by the same rat biting his
nose. He chased it away, but he got
little sleep that night, for the rat kept
returning, and when he attempted to
kill it the willy little creature always
successfully took refuge in the chimney.
The next night, and for several nights
afterward, the rat disturbed his rest bv
its persistent and bloodthirsty attacks.
DR.. Richie couldn't help but be curious
ly interested il the little fellows vel
fare, even though his experience was
rather unpleasant.
Finally he stopped up the chimney,
but the rat managed to get out. He
then left the door of his room open.
thinking the rat would seize the chance
to leave the premises. He also set a trap
for it, but he didn't catch it until Mon
day evening.
w hen the rat saw the doctor it showed
every sign of terror, and when he put
the tramp on the table and brought out
his bottle of chloroform and sponge. it
gave despairing squeak, tore savagely
at his abdomen with its sharp teeth I'M

from the previous operation, burst open,
