Two young women stood by the cash.
ier's window the other day. One was an
ambitious writer Of verse whose effusions
had been persistently rejected by stony
editors, and the other was teacher out
of a position and sorely in debt. They
were engaged, just then, in commiserat-
ing each other, when suddenly little
brown dwarf with hump and mourn
fully patient face pushed her way up To
the paying place. my dear girl, now's
your everlasting chance" whispered the
poetess excitedly. Get right up be-
hind her, where she can't see you, and
touch her hump. Then I'll follow suit.
It's bound to bring us good luck; better
than rabbits foot; never knew it u
fail"
What nonsensei l won't be such a
goosep demurred the teacher girl. But
go ahead yourself" and she stood aside
for the other to get into secure posi-
ton; the whole charm depending Of
course upon doing it unknown to the
humpbacked one.
1t is only necessary TO add that the ex-
pertinent was entirely successful, and
that the poetess went straight home and
wrote Lowing and Losing" which she

Eating Rats,

We have tasted the rats that have run
riot in isolated wheat ricks, and we can
conscientiously aver that they are both
both sweet and succulent. Their flesh
is white as that of sweetbread, and
has unquestionably more flavor. We
understand that field mice are still more
delicate, and considering the simple and
wholesome habits of their virtuous lives,
we can well believe it. The English.
man in Paris" speaks of a salmi served
soon after the beginning of the seige Of
the commune, and the very memory Of
it seems to have made his mouth water.
Yet the town mice scarcely gave the ex.
pertinent a fair trial, for they had been
shared on the bastions between the outer
boulevards and the Notifications. Lon.

The LigbtnfngIike Loon.

The loon is the quickest living creature.
A loon that has had experience can dodge
the fash Of gun. You see a loon on
lake, but long before you see him he sees
you and has taken a mental inventory of
you and your belongings. II you have no
gun, you may perhaps approach within 100
yards before he laughs at you with that
horrid shrek which gives him his name
and disappears under the water, but show
a gun and he does not stop to laugh-he
goes instanter. When in sportive mood
he sometimes waits until he sees you about
ready to fire, when, at the fash, he dives,
and you see the shot spatter the water
where he has just gone down.--St. Louis
