The miners at last laid aside their tools and
devoted their time to decreasing the rat
population Of that mine. The mules were
taken out, and In all parts of the mine pol
soned food was scattered plentifully. This
was Kept up for three days, and the result
was most satisfactory. Tne third day three
mine cars were heaped full of dead rats that
were gathered from the tunnel floors. and
tue two tons OF csrcases were carted TO the
outside and buried in one great pit dug for
the purpose. Operations were then resumed.
the rats left being on peace footing.
As general thing miner will not harm
mine rat. Some miners, especially Of the
old school. would almost as soon think Of
killing their children as a mine rat, except
on such occasions as / have mentioned.
These miners regard the rats as safeguards
and infallible presagers OF danger in a mine.
Iney have an instinct. the miners say. that
warns them of a pending fall OF roof or
similar disaster, and when they are seen
scurrying away from one section OF mine
TO another the worKmen know that the rats
are giving them a danger signal, and they
hurry away in response to it. The chances
are ten to one that there will soon be
a cavern more or less serious in the part of
the mine thus abandoned by the rats, as
long experience and observation have
proved. The snperstitious miner believes
that the mine rat gives warning Of this by
some super natural power it possesses, but
the practical man explains it by the theory
that when a mine begins to work. as the
quiet settling of one preparatory TO a cave
in is called, the rats are disturbed in their
hiding places, and they hurry away to seek
places Of safety.
The mine rat is ordinarily as big as two
or the common house rat, and is possessed
of amazing intelligence. To be called as
smart as a mine rat is to receive the highest
compliment IN the mining regions. 1t is
no infrequent thing for miner and some
rat TO form a strong attachment for each
other, and have often seen a miner and a
big, bright-eyed niue rat numbering
together like two old cronies, a quarter of a
mile down in the black depths Of the earth.

From the Nelo York Herald.
NORTH LYME, CONN, Feb. 14.-Charles
Gables and Miss Almira Dosett were return
ing from religious services in the CaGby
district school house last Sunday night. The
road for a short distance ran through a
swamp and had dense growth of brush on
both sides. The moon shone brightly and
the young pair were going about leisurely
when they were startled by a peculiar
whining noise from a cluster Of alders and
the next instant Miss Dosett was knocked
down by a wildcat that sprang upon her
back from tree.
Gables kicked the animal in the side and
knocked it into the gutter, but 1t was at
him instantly and set its teeth and claws
into bis leg. Gables is a powerful man, and
grasping the cat with both hauds he tore 1t
away from his leg and dashed it to the
ground. The beast landed on its feet and
flew at the man with redoubled fury. The
cat began chewing his right arm, while with
its claws it tore his overcoat.
The man struck his heel against clod Of
frozen mud and fell upon his back. Half a
dozen times he tore the animal away from
his throat and as many times it returned to
the battle. Gables was growing weak from
loss OF blood when Miss Dosett, with a
heavy piece of fence post hammered the
cat and drew its attack upon herself. Gables
tainted and the girl fought the animal with
all her might, and was able to keep beyond
Its reach except when the animal once or
twice tore her cloak with its claws.
For fifteen minutes she welded the club
with good effect and then the cat showed
signs of weakness. The girl rained blows
upon the animal until, manned and whin-
ing, 1t attempted to crawl into the brush,

some matches. He gathered up some straw
and other light material and had a fire in
the stall in short order. The flames spread
rapidly aud the barn was soon in ashes.
Tbe flames communicated to and burned

tion to the calf, were roasted to death.

A few years ago the question was
asked, docs nobility still exist in
SwitzerlandT' And no one was able to
answer it. OF all the thousand Of Eng.
hsh folk who haunt the Swiss hotels IN
summer not one. it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph Won
Erlach, whose equestrian statue thew
must have seen. has any living descen
dants; not one had ever heard of the
Barnese nobiity-a noblesse which holds
itself so high that it thinks but slightly
of the British legation. Yet from the
Jura to the Lugano there is hardly q
canton-there Is perhaps no canton
IN which noble families are not to be
found.
Some of these, such as the Plantas
and the Buols of the Grabunden, have
turned their energy into modern chan
nels and make their fortunes, like the
Hausers or the Sellers, out of the Eng
hsh and the American tourists Others,
like the Won Allmen, have sunk into q
humber rank. But the greater part re-
main IN statu quo, still enjoying in the
towns or in the country a social pres
hge that varies with their wealth and
their intelligence.-Temple Bar.

The original process of curing skins
was probably the simple one of cleaning
and drying them Removal of the hair
by maceration in water seems to have
been common among the very early
tribes. and one writer has suggested
that the idea was obtained from the
natural process Of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
it in the case of drowned animals, where
maceration can be plainly observed.
Following this, smoke, sour milk, oil,
and the brains Of the animals themselves
were found eficacious. Many of these
primitive methods are employed at the
present time, thus bringing into novel
conjunction the days of the rowing Mas

At Charkof. Russia, two girls who
were friends fell in love with the same
young man. He was slow to make his
selection between them. They agreed
that either could win him if delivered of
the baneful competition of the other.
They decided upon duel by drawing
lots. On the day following one of the
young ladies was found dead in her
room. She had poisoned herself with
phosphorus. But her friend is broken

more than likely that she will not live
