PERIL FROM RATS AT SEA-

1t was a very great while before the
mariner came to realize that among the
perils which beset his calling ne must
reckon the existence of rats on ship
board as by no means an lnslgnlhcah'
one. That sailors have for centuries
viewed the vermin with superstltlous
eve is evident upon the testimony oi
many old writers The reputation o.
the rat as an evil omen, is beyond ques-
ton very ancient: but as pest "noS.
presence is a menace to the safety OF
life at sea the animal has earned us
tinction which is quite modern.
A most remarkab bic instance OF the
mischief which the creature is capable
| of doing came to light during the pro
ceedinrs of a naval court OF lnqulr!
held in August, 1873, for the purpose OF

Nature seems to have provided that

Thus the most deadly snake venom can

Fontana, who in 1881 published pooe

Among all people the sucking OF the

As it is generally true that the most |

prising if the most fascinating part OF the

of visitors who have never been beyond

would be found in those quaint. char

true sense of the word, that will fringe
the main buildings of the exposition

will be strange and curious, and in
structive to every body. The exhibits
proper will be massed and marshaled
in the various buildings devoted to the
great departments. Consisting for the
most part of articles intended for in
ternational exchange, they will bear
that stamp Of cosmopolitanisln which
necessarily attaches TO goods intended
for the markets OF the world.
But to most people the personal, the
dividual is the most attractive. This
element will find expression in the
smaller buildings in the north part OF
the exposition grounds This will be
oiled with the buildings that shall rep
resent the individual character OF the
various states of the union and OF for

showing the greatest divergence from
American buildings and exhibits, will
be the most attractive to those who
love to see that which is curious, and
that means the greater part OF the
people. These buildings and their in
teriors will represent the architecture

other side Of town, a distance Of three
quarters of mile. She asked her husband
to go, but John couldn't go, because he

The stock market to-day was moderately
active, but being under the hammer for most OF
the session, was weak almost throughout, and
while the limited nature Of speculation pre-
vented any heavy declines or wide fluctuations,
the losses were material iu all of the leading
shares. The coal stocks were inclined to adj
vance during the early portion of the day Pur-
Chases for Philadelphia account were marked,
though, as that center was so lately seller, 1t
was probable thet the demand was to cover
shorts exclusively. The effect was to advance
the stock per cent, and to some extent the
general list felt the influence. The room, how
ever, was still bearishy inclined, and the pub
lshed utterances of the representative of one of
the largest foreign banking houses 10 the effect
that the movement OF gold outward would in
all probability continue for some time from
this out, supplemented by further advance in
exchange rates. encouraged traders to attack
the list which they did with vigor and unusual
impartality. and under the PIE isure every
thing yielded. Reading St Paul, Northern
Pacific preferred, Atchison and New England
were active stocks but they moved with the
rest Of the list, and the losses were remarkably
uniform. The usual rally toward the close
failed to come, notwithstanding the favorable
nature of the bank statement, which showed
large gain in cash and en- inciclse Ill surplus
reserve of over 100000. There were no
special feature, and coal stocks gave way with
the rest of the late DEALINGS. The market
finally closed active and weak at the lowest
price OF the day. The final changes are all
Jersey Central. Lake Shore, and Northern
Pacific preferred. The sales of listed stocks
were $4,000 shares and 5000 shares of un.
listed.
The following were the closing quotations of
