The Ouartermaster,s Trnn.

At one time during our stay at Harri-
sons Landing the quartermaster's de
partment was overrun with rats. There
were thousands of them as rayenous as
wolves and they became so bold and de-
fiant that the q. NJ. was in despair At
last some one suggested to him 10 sink
some barrels in the runways, fill them
about two-thirds full of water and cover
the top Of tn water with oats: then place
board 50 tat it would Just balance on
one edge of each barrel and fastcn to the
| lower end OF the board a piece Of cheese.
The board was to be attached 10 the bar
rel's edge by small double staple. so that
when it tipped up and let a rat into the
water the board would return to its old
position. The quartermaster adopted the
plan with enthusiasm, but used. instead Of
barrels, lot of tierces or hOCSheads each
large enough for a Thousand rats
The scheme worked finely, and the first
night hundreds of rats had met watery
grave, when, about midnight, there was a
! tremendous splash, followed by frantic
yells such rs could have proceeded only
from an African throat. Investigation
showed that colored boy, in trying TO
steal an Overcoat from the quartermaster's
stores, had made a misstep and plunged
into one Of the hogsheads. The boy was
frightened "a most to death, while the sol
diers whom he walked up laughed them
selves sore. The quartermaster's trap
proved effective thereafter both for rats
and darky boys, and the former after a
few nights disappeared as mysteriously as
they came.-Spriugfield Homestead.

Some persons have thought it curious
that the big transatlantic liners should al
! ways moor to their piers with their bow
inshore. To the uninitiated it appears
more natural for them to back into their
slips and moor with their stern inshore,
and as a matter of fact nearly all of the
smaller class of steamships do this. But
there are reasons, including a certain dock
regulation, why the larger vessels adopt
the opposite method of getting alongside
their wharycs.
One is that their great draft compels
them to regulate the hour of sailing by
the tide. 1t is generally running flood
tide when they back out from their piers.
The current sweeps the stern up the river,
so that there is little difficulty experienced
in getting the ships head pointed down
the bay.
Another reason is that the majority of
the big passenger vessels have prelimi-
nary dock trial of their engines before they
cast off their moorings. Tomake sure that
the machinery is in perfect order the trial
generally lasts for three or four hours. If
moored with stern iushore the backwater
from the propcllers would be apt to stir up
a quantity of Ill smelling mud besides do
ing damage to the dock itself.
! The coasting vessels are not so particu-
lar, and only turn their propellers over a
few times before casting off their lines. On
, account of their slight draft they are indie
pendent of the tide and can go to sea when
ever they hke.-New York Times.

INA. rhpurhtless woman.

1t is common thing to excuse careless
ness lightly, as Il matter OF no great mo
ment. II did not think" seems to be q
reason in the minds of many women for in
fiicting an almost endless amount of in
convenience on others. The number of
| thoughtless people in the world is exceed
ingly large. They were accustomed to be
excused as children on the specious plea of
thoughtlessness. and finally came to con-
slider themselves privileged persons to COM
NIT whatever ravages they pleased among
the goods and chattels of their friends. As
| they grew older, schooled rs they were in
| infancy to remember no one but them
selves the same plea of thoughtlessness
was given for all their acts
| The thoughtless woman is probably more
often considered leniently than her mascu-
| line prototype; yet she is the most uncOm-
| Portable person of the two. One naturally
expects womanly nature TO be orderly,
and the thoughtless woman is the reverse
of all this She never knows where her
| things are, her property seems to have
wings and she is compelled to depend
on her more thrifty sisters and is of neces-
| sity continual borrower She can never
| find things she needs when she wants
| them, and keeps her whole household in
confusion with her search for lost port
monnaies, satchels, bonnets and what not.
She is late for her engagements or wholly
| forgets them and scatters general discom-
fort everywhere.
Nowhere is she more abject and hope
| less failure than as wife and mother.
when the responsibility of home is thrust
| upon her. From her earliest childhood she
has thought of no one but herself, and even
II she would it is impossible for her to
change her nature so that she Will become

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER fatty denies
the story that he intends to resign to ac-
cept employment from syndicate of
railroads in Chicago. He says that while
his work is hard it is delightful, that his
associations are extremely pleasant, and
that he is satisfied The story probably
had its origin in the circumstance that
some judges have recently left the bench
to enter the service of rich corporations.
To this practice there can be no objec-
ton. When judges resign their Office to
become railroad attorneys they do an
honorable thing. Bat they are hardly
honorable when they act as railroad at
torneys and judges at the same time.
Fortunately this is true of very few of
them.

Ordered to Dance.

! n recent occurrence recalls a story of n
Prussian general who wished to llA { his
world dance and failed. His wife's recep-
tions, for some reason or other, were uncon-
genial to the youths under his command
and unfrequeuted by them. The general,
a strict martinez and the head of Il college
of cadets, was imprudent enough to re
proach them with their shortcomings in
this matter and to demand a change in
their manners. At his next ball, when all
the guests were assembled, the tramp
tramp of marching feet was heard upon
the staircase; the door was thrown opeh
and there marched into the room whole
corps of cadets with their young officer at
their head, halted and stood at attention.
What is the meaning of this?" shouted
the general.
The first corps of cadets, to dancing
commander replied the youth. saluting
as though on parade.
Take them away" screamed the gen
eral, beside himself with fury.
Right about face, marchr' was the
calm and unmoved answer, and the cadets
marched out in the same order as they had
entered.-London Spectator.

What's the Matter with Illinois


What's the matter with Illinois? asks
the New York Herald. Fifty years ago
Illinois had population Of only 500. 0O0
Today the state contains nearly 1000, 600
people and is the third state in the union
in the number of inhabitants. In the
next electoral college Illinois will have
"a votes. Added to Wisconsin's ~
these just equal the vote of New York
With lowa's 13 they would make one
vote in excess of New York. As with
Iowa and Wisconsin, Kansas and Ne
brssks, the republican hold on Illinois
has been gradually weakening. Grant
had an actual majority of So ss4 in 1872.
Hsrrison's plurality Of %. 1876 was only
800 in excess of the prohibition vote, and
with the democratic and the labor vote
added the republican candidate was
in a minority of 500 in 1888.
In 1880 the democrats elected the
state treasurer by a plurality of 9.s47.
The legislative candidates pledged to the
support of Gen. Palmer for senator had a
majority Of 80 600 The corgressiona
delegation was reversed from seven dem
ocrsts to Is republicans to IA democrats
TO six republicans. And the democratic
candidates had an aggregate majority o.
31.OOO.
The fight was made by the democrats
squarely for tariff reform and against the
misdeeds of the billion dollar congr SIS
Their platform declared that
We cannot find Language strong
enough TO condemn the Mckinley tariff
tax bill, considering it as crime and t
conspiracy against the toilers of Americs
which is intended to impoverish the
masses and benefit very small class thai
are already millionaires.
Ga the silver question the convention
said only that I'VE demand that all un.
necessary restrictions be removed from
the coinage of silver"
The victory of 1890 was a sweeping
and a significant one for the democrats
While it did not show that the state is to
be counted on for the party in presiden.
tial year, it does indicate that under the
most favorable circumstances the demo.
Gratis would have a hopeful fighting
chance there in November.
Those circumstances are Of course the
nomination Of Senator Palmer by the
Chicago convention. with young, vigor-
Gus and popular eastern democrat for
second place. Il now seems likely that
Senator Paimer's name will be presented
by his state, and that he may have con-
siderable support.
Illinois thus becomes state with in
teresting possibilities and perhaps of in.
creased importance in the coming strug-
gle. Chicago has shown on two recent
occasions that the seat of the new empire
of the west is not TO be lightly reckoned
with when questions involving all the
union Of Al states are under con.
siderstion.

THERE are in the insane asylum al
Ksnkakee II men who were treated for

Dewey. the superintendent of the asylum.
and Dr.. Bannister his assistant, attribute
the insanity of the patients to the Keeiey
medicine. They declare that the latter Is
very severe on the nervous system and
contains some powerful agent which dis
turbs the brain. As thus presented the
case against DR.. Kelley sppesrs serious.
But when it is considered that neither
Dewey nor Bsnnister is familiar with the
Keeley formula, and that their II patients
would probably have become insane any
way, their statements are not alarming
either as rejecting on the merits of the
Kelley cure or the possible future OF
those who have submitted themselves to
its treatment.
