Oddities About Rats.

Rats are natives of Asia und their
raids westward belong 50 comparatively
u.odern times. From the fact that they
are not mentioned by any Of the early
Europeans it is surnuised that they were
unknown west of the Ganges in
ancient times The black rat first came
from Asia to Europe in the sixteenth
century--along with the plague-and
was first known as the graveyard
specter," because he preyed on the
Hesh Of those who died during that
awful visitation. lie was also known
rs the 'splague cat" because the com
mon house cat had similar habit OF
teasting on the dead. The black rat
was the common house rat until the
brown Or gray rat made his appearance
In Its. The gray rat came to Europe
from India, by way Of Russia, and is
now popularity known as the Norway
rat, from mistaken tradition that it
came from Norway to England and
from the latter country to America.

where the Apostles Are Buried.

ALI that now remains of the apostles
Of Christ are in the following places:
Seven are sleeping the sleep of the just
in Rome, viz: Peter, Philip, James the
Less, Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias and
Simon. The remains of three lie in the
kingdom Of Naples; Matthew at sa~
lenro, Andrew at An1ali and Thomas at
Ortona~ One, James the Greater, was bur
led in Spain, at st. Sage de Compostella.
OF the exact wherea bouts of the remains
of St. John the Evangelist, there is
much dispute. Mark and Luke are
buried in Italy, the former at Venice
and the latter at Padua. St. Pau1's re-
mains are also believed to be in Italy.
Peter is buried in Rome in the church
which bears his name; SO, too, are
Simon and Jude James the Lesser Is
buried in the church of the holy Apes

name. The Legends Of the Apostles"

yictoria's Throne.

The English throne, used in the cor
onation ceremonies Of the kings and
queens Of Great Britain, is simply an
old oaken chair Of curious pattern and
great antiquity. Ages Of use lit is
known to have been used in its present
capacity for more than seven hundred
years) have made the old frame as hard
and as tough as iron. The magic power
attributed to the old relic lies in the
seat, which is large, rough sandstone.
Ages before it was trimmed in velvets
and gold for the use of the Stuarts and
the Tudors it served as seat for the
early kings Of Scotland; tradition even
asserts that it is the identical stone
upon which the patriarch Jacob rested
bis head the night he had his wonder

GREELEY IN GOOD SOCIETY.
40 Once Dined In Jail with Prince, .
Count and q Baron.

Count anu a ks2rOn'
When Horace Greeley visited Paris in
1855 he was the victim of mistake that
caused him to spend a night behind the
bars of the debtors prison OF the Rue
de Clichy A French sculptor had sent
q statue for exhibition to the world S
fair at New York, of which Mr. Greeley
was one of the managers; the statue
had been returned in an injured condi-
ton. and the sculptor took the method
Of causing Mr. Greeley's arrest to re-
cover damages. A friend of Mr.. Gree
ley, Mr. Field, went to the prison the
next morning. When he entered the
large common room in which the pris-
oners and their friends were se1nbled,
the Youths Companion says, he saw q
singular scene. In one corner squatted
a laboring man in his blouse, surround
ed by his wife and children, who had
brought him some delicacies for his
Sunday dinner. I'm another corner
lounged a ACKNOWLEDGMENT young
gentleman The room was filed with
the most strangely contrasted groupes.
''Standing in the ra1adle Of it, says
Mr.. Field, wearing his ola Wh1Ce over
coat, and with his hat Oh the hack Of
his head, his countenance wreathed in
smiles, fanked on either side by a
United States minister, stood Horace
Greeley To refrain from laughing was
impossible.
Field he exclaimed, this has been
one of the most fortunate incidents in
my lite! Without it doubt If 1 ever
should have had the opportunity to see
good society, You know J. know moth
ing about it at home. have never as"
sociated with the people who compose

Last evening at dinner we had a prince
at the head OF the table, and was
aanl5ed on one side by a count and on
the other side by a baron. II only re.

One Must Get Up Early In the Morning TO
Have the Start of Him.
The popular idea Of bookmaker is
singularly erroneous one. He is usual
y looked upon as a noisy, self-assertive,
ehampagne-drinking gambler, who
wears loud clothes, talks horse and at
fects the other stage characteristics Of
bad man. It is popularity understood
that he plays poker, faro and roulette
until four or five o'clock in the morn
ing, then goes down to the race track,
writes on a slate the odds which he is
willing to give against any particular
horse winning, and then passes the rest
If the day in making his wagers. A
writer in the Eagle wonders If any of
The citizens Of Brooklyn have seen the
more prominent and wealthy book
makers passing through the city of
churches at four o'clock in the morning.
Every one of the successful ones makes
the trip from New York to the Brook
tyn track, comes back to the city pool
rooms to gather whatever news he can,
distributes his information to the prop
er sources, then returns to the track,
goes through the days racing and comes
back to town again at seven o'clock at
night
Bookmakers make their early trips to
the track in order to get at the actual
condition of the horses and get the Cos
sip of the stables early in the racing
day. One-half of the horses at Graves
end are thoroughly discussed by the
book1nakers, hauled over and examined
and put through their preliminary ex-
ercises and every movement noted with
shrewd and experienced eyes by the
time the milkman gets around to Brook
yn doorsteps, The bookmaker begins
bis work Of estimating the chances Of
each horse winning race at five o'clock
in the morning and he never quits I'M
til the starters flag has been dropped.
Members OF the talent, on the other
hand, sandwich in their opinions and
theories somewhere about noon, with
their luncheon, and make their bets &C
cording to their convictions 1t is easy
TO decide whether the boo}maker or the
racegoer has the advantage. Carried
through a season it is evident to every
body that the bool1maker must win.
Another point is the manner in which
bookmakers work together. Though
they are at odds on some minor points,
they still have brains enough TO present
= combined front in the matter of small
odds.
