TRADE RATS IN ARIZONA.
They supply a Miner with Coffee and
Beans.

Beans.
A miner near the Senator recentlt
had rather singular experience with
trade rats, known also as mountain
rats. As the nights were cold the
miner took his ore sacks to replenish
his rather hard bed. Having neglected
to come to town for several weeks his
supply of beans had given out, and he
had to come down to diet of straight
bacon Considerably out of humor he
started in to pull his bed to pieces one
morning, and in removing the sacks
was agreeably surprised to find about
three pounds of beans, with a little
coffee mixed. which the rats had
brought from the Senator and stored in
his bed. These rats are native Ameri-
cans and very different from their i'm
ported Norway cousins They are
called trade rats because they gener-
ally leave some article in exchange for
what they take away. The miner
states that he has never killed trade
rat: that these rodents ha bitually steal
from one cabin and carry their plumber
into an adjoining one; that on one oc-
casion he spilled couple of quarts of
corn on the floor of his cabin, and the
next morning found rats had stored
every grain of it in pair of saddle
bags hanging upon the wall. He also
states that the rats have thick caudal
appendages about three inches in
length, which they keep constantly
throwing up anddow striking the floor
with each downward movement with
the regular and measured stroke of a
musical professor marking time. They
carry off plugs of tobacco, tooth brush
es, combs and brushes, in fact any
thing which they can manage TO move.

"TRere's something behind IT,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it !"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the wo~s cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for 25 years 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like Or. Sage's Remedy.

THOUSANDS SICK.

Influenza Raging furiously in Australian
Colonies Hundreds of Deaths-General
Commerce yisIbly Affected by the NAL
ady.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 3O.-Advices
from Melbourne state that influenza
continues to rage with undated fury
throughout the colonies and that the
epidemic is causing many deaths.
Among the latest recorded is that of
William Byrne, one of the oldest menu
bers of the legislative council.
Large numbers of railroad empl Jyes
are down with the disease, so much so
that traffic is considerably interfcred
with. Numbers of telegraph operators
are also laid up. and the department is
consequently working short handed.
The public schools at South Goul-
burn have been closed owing to the
great prevalence of the disease. In
one district there are over 1000 cases
and the deaths number several hun
dred.
The disease is particularly virulent
in some country towns, where in many
instances whole families are pros
trated Hitherto fatal cases have been
confined to those advanced in years,
bat there is now a change and all
classes are dying
Doctors say that the epidemic is in
creasing in virulence. Five hundred
school children at Collingwood are
Frustrated. The population of the
municipality of Williamson, which in
cludes Newport and Spottiswood, is
about Is, 600, and it is estimated that
the bulk of the inhabitants are pros
trated At Sydney nearly ali the en-
ployes of the mint have been seized
with it, and work in the water and
sewer departments is almost at a
standstill in consequence of the alb
sence of many officials, who are away
on sick leave.

A PROFITABLE SHAVE.

BARRIERS Pay Americans a Premium for
Performing the Service at Cape Breton.
The honest folk of Cape Breton have
established some arbitrary values for
the money of the United States. no in
considerable quantity of which is in
circulation on the island. The ponder
Gus dollar, with its lying inscription.
is, however, as heartily detested there
as it is in the eastern states. 1t is only
accepted under protest, at a discoun
of twenty per cent. Half and quarter
dollars circulate freely, however, at
this depreciation, and the dime is
readily taken and given at par
As pleasing contrast to this Amer
lean national bank and treasury notes
command a premium of five per cent.
Why premium no one seems to know;
but the fact remains the same that in
ordinary transactions an American
five-doi,ar- bill is worth five dollars and
twenty five cents.
These contradictory features regard
ing values of different classes of
American money have caused much
merriment for tourists who have Wis
tied Cape Breton in large numbers
during the summer. No one blames
the islanders for accepting American
silver only for its intrinsic worth. but
the mixed conditions have given rise
to queer complications.
A story that serves to Illustrate this
is related of an American yachtsman.
who. knowing nothing about the finan-
cial puzzle, left his yacht at Sydney,
Cape Breton, and went ashore for the
purpose of getting shaved. The price
for the service at the best bar
ber's shop in the town is ten cents. In
payment for the same the gentleman
gave an American dollar bill of the old
issue.
The tonsorial artist counted out into
his customers palm four American
quarter dollars and one dime, after
which he turned his attention to an
other customer who was waiting &c
have his hair trimmed.
The American gazed in surprise, first
at the man and then at the amount OF
change.
Here" he said, after having recov-
cred slightly from the amazemcnt,
''this can't be rightr' at the same time
extending his hand and exhibiting the
dollar and ten cents of money.
Il beg your pardon, sir, replied the
barber. somewhat confused, for the
yachtsman in his surprise spoke hasti-
ly and with rising infection Then
turning to his money drawer he ex-
amined the dollar bill, placed it back
again and then proceeded TO count five
Canadian copper cents into the now
more than surprised Americans hand.
I'm sorry" he said. as he did so,
''but | have no American copper. We
don't use it here. l thought you had
given me Canadian bill"
"But," said the yaehtsman. even
more in the dark than before, II don t
understand your figuring. What did
give you anyhow? Was it not dol
lar bill?''
The barber and the customer in the
chair broke out into a laugh, and the N
followed the explanation that made it
clear to the astonished American that
a Cape Breton barber could really,
without depriving himself of his ten
cent fee, give man shave and one
dollar and fifteen cents of money, de-
preciated twenty per cent. in value, in
exchange for single dollar of money
enhanced in value five per cent.-N.
