One Way to Tame a Rat.

Five large gray rats are the peculiar
pets of Charles Perkins, who lives on
Noble street, near Eighth. The rodents
evince great affection for him, following
his sleeve and come out at the breast,
nestle around the rim of his hat, and
perform variety of tricks, such as leap.

Don't CoddIe Your Boys too

Long.
One of the earliest lessons that should
be instilled in a boy is self dependence.
AS soon as the young of the lower ami
mails are able to forage for themselves
their maternal parents cut them adrift
to get their own living, and the example
of the fowls of air aud the beasts o.
the field 10 this case, as in some Other
cases, is wholesomely suggestive.
Boys are often kept too long out of the
world of action that, as men, they are
intended to hustle in. They are 'cod
died" too much, especially by their
mothers. One can hardly blame a
mother for wishing to keep young
Hopeful tied to her apron string as long
as possible. Her desire to retain him
by her side arises from one of the most
admirable traits IN the maternal charac-
ter. 1t is so beautifully in accord with
her tender nature that she should dread
the effect of the worlds temptations up
on the mind Of her darling that one can
not help loving her the better for her
solicitude.
But boys should not be dry nursed too
long. 1t detracts from their manliness,
and makes milksops of them. When a
mother has done her duty by imbuing
the nind Of her son with sound religious
and moral principles. and he is old
enough to begin the battle of life, she
should not object to venture him in the
conflict. He is better fitted to com
mence it then than he would be few
years later.-N. Y Ledger.

The Liver

When out of order. involves every organ of
the body Remedies for some other derange-

effect, because it is the liver which is the real
source of the trouble, and until that is set

A Kind Advice,

In speaking of the power of kind ness,
Elihu Burritt once remarked OF the
voice:
There is no power of love SO hard to
get and keep las kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of soft heart, and DO it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as a sweet voice,
to tell what it means and feels; and it is
hard to get and keep in the right tone.
One must start in youth, and be on the
watch night aud day, at work and at
play, to get and keep voice that shall
speak at all times tho thoughts of a
kind heart.
1t is often in youth that one gets a
voice or tone that is sharp, aud it stick s
to him through life, and it stirs up i'll
will and falls like drop of gall upon the
sweet joys of home. Watch it day by
day as pearl of great p rice, for it will
be worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is to the heart what light is to
the eye. 1t is light that sings as well
as shines. p COngregdtjoRalist.

WHY SOME DON'T SUCCEED.

Two of the most successful men on
North American continent were recently
asked the question, What are causes of
poverty" One replied Ignorance aud
incapacity." The other said that the
prevalent causes is The number of
young men who are wanting i'll decision
and hxity of purpose. II they get into
good place at the start they should
stick to it, knowing that by persever-
ance, industry and ability they win pro-
motion i'll due course as vacancies occur.
But they see or hear OF some one making
fortune in Wall street, or in ranching,
or in mining, and away they 60 to try
their luck. When they lose, as they do
in ninety nine cases out of hundred,
that is the end of them; they Can never
settle down to ordinary ways of earning
| q living after that, ..and their descent is
rapid. This reason hits the nail square
| ON the head Go where we will We find
| men who commenced life under the
most fave rable circumstances, but who
are such finau DIAL wrecks that there is
| but little hope for their reformation Z.
| They may be honest aud temperate;
| they may ever possess natural ability of
high order, but lacking in steadiness
of purpose they will never succeed. Had
| they sufficient will force to stick to one
thing, no matter how disagreeable it
might be at first, "Eere they content to
advance slowly, they would have no
reason now 30 talk OF the luck of those
who have pushed forward into the front
ranks.
Another cause OF poverty is a OF self
confidence. Many men seem to have no
faith in themselves, consequently no
assertiveness, no Independence, 10 pluck
and no push. They are afraid to stand
up and speak for themselves. preierring
to lean on others. They are afraid to
make an investment for the possibility of
failure; they ale afraid to tell what they
can do, as they might make an error in
doing it, thew are towards i'll eYaTy
sense of the word. This is often the
result of early training. A boy, natur
ally timid, is kept in the background So
persistently, and his mistakes are So
severely criticised, that he grows up
into an entirely useless man. Push and
fxity of purpose will always bring a
| measure of success.

MISUNDERSTANDING" ART

Did you ever notice, asked Detective
Ned Horne to a Washington Post man,
that whenever big safe is cracked by a
gang of professionals there is also re-
port of the robbery of a blacksmith shop?
Well, it's so. Every time professional
safe burglar comes to town and cracks
safe, and you know that isn't often,
we hear of somebody's blacksmith shop
being broken open the same night and q
couple of big sledges or hammers stolen.
A first class burglar does't go carrying
heavy hammers around with him and
giving himself away. When he locates

If lions and tigers catch cold dose of
powdered quinine is given to them in
their food. They sometimes suffer from
dyspepsia, and meal of liver set before
them is readily devoured and acts as a
cathartic. They seldom need treatment,
however, for any trouble except ingrow-
ing nails. In savage state they keep
their nails pared down by clawing the
trunks of trees. In captivity the nails
grow long and sometimes penetrate the
flesh of their paws. 1t then becomes
necessary to relieve the pain by removing
its cause. A looped rope is thrown down
on the floor of the cage, the animals
paws are caught in it and he is dragged
to the bars in such a position that the
wound can be operated upon. Pincers
aud clip with a pair of sharp shears do
the work and the brute is released sound

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
FCharlOtte TimeS.1

In few days the House of Repre-
sentatives will elect either Mills of
Texas or Crisp of Georgia as its
speaker.
There is no North Carolina men,
Der mentioned for that distinguished
honor. Indeed for several years past
the North Carolina delegation in Cor-
gress has been uninhuential. There
is no member from this State who has
a national reputation or any consider
able influence on the floor of the
House.
What is the reason? Is it because
we have no able men in our State?
The reason is simply that we have
got the rotating idea in our little
skulls and we don't allow a member
to stay in Congress long enough to
get a decent place on a committee.
Who is it that breaches the rotating idea
to the people? 1t is the little county
politicians all over the State who make
speeches with the hope Of some day
getting to Congress on the rotating
machine. Congressional seats in our
State are like the seats of a flying
ginny on which every fellow takes a
little ride.
If Hon. w. M. Robbins had been
retained in Congress he would be the
next Speaker of the House, as he is
Mills in resources and talent.
We do not mean to say that his
able successor, Judge Armheld, would
not have been equally as distinguished.
As long as we persist in the rotating
system, just SO long will we be poorly
represented at Washington, and just
SO long North Carolina will be without
influence in shaping national legisla-

ART OF PLEASING.

Nothing is simpler or easier than
the art of pleasing. 1t does not re-
quire any superhuman effort. 1t is not
confined to any condition of life, nor
is it dependent on surrounding Cir
Cumstances. All it demands is the
presence of a sympathetic spirit, a
willingness to be pleased, a desire to
see the bright side of things and to
discover the best points in people a
frankness and openness Of disposition,
a readiness to leave self and other en-
crossing objects and to enter heartily
into subjects more generally accepted.
Whoever will cultivate these qualities
and habits of mind will find new
life opening up within hm-a life that
will be fuller and richer in its own
happiness, because it will be constantly
increasing that of his fellowman.-Ee-

TRAVELLING 10, 900 MILES IN
SEARCH OF A CAR.
TSt. Louis Globe Democrat.I

One of the best jobs in car tracing
ever done in this country was COM
pleted about three weeks ago by a car
tracer of the New York Central. That
road had lost car and sent out the
tracer to look it up. He followed it
west to Pittsburg, then to Cincinnati,
then to Chicago, and from there to
St. Louis. Here he lost track of it,
but after some search found it had been
in an accident and had been repainted.
By some oversight the number had
been changed, but, taking the number,
he chased the car to Kansas City, where
he found it had been loaded and sent
on to Galveston. To Galveston he
went, and there found that, after TAX
ing fresh load, the car had gone to
San Francisco. He went after it, but
on reaching San Francisco found the
car had gone back to Galveston.
By this time his blood was up and
he made up his mind to find that car
if it took the balance of his natural
life. So he went back to Galveston,
and to make long story short, follow
ed that car to New Orleans, to Mobile,
to Atlanta, to half a dozen places in
Florida, then back to New Orleans,
to Galveston again, and thence to
Kansas City,and from there to Chicago.
He had now been on the hunt for
three months, but had got SO close to
the runaway that just as he came into
Chicago by one road the car left it
over another on its way to Buffalo.
Its load was consigned to that point,
and when he ascertained the fact he
telegraphed on to have the car held,
and took the next train for the east.
At Buffalo he came up with the car
and caught his first sight of it. He
had travelled almost constantly for
over thirteen weeks, traversing a dis
tance of 10000 or 1000 miles.

KEEP THE HEART.

If you would have your life blame

Sinful actions come of indulging in
sinful thought and desires. The pleas
urable contemplation of a sinful deed
is usually followed by its con- mission.
Sin begins in the heart; hence we
should keep the heart with all dill
gence. As you would lock and bolt
your doors against robbers, SO close
your heart against evil suggestions.
Suffer not the intruder to get lodg

and by faith expel him from your
