1t is not difficult to tell whether
rats are pursued by vermin. When "a b

after them. They are not long-windet

The four-year-old daughter OF
Charles Brandt, a dairyman, near
Lebanon, Pa, mill1s four cows every
day. She is small for her age, and it is

sion TO try her baud after watching the
milkmaids at their work.
The little village of Washington

which her father built is standing. In
spite of the fact that the PATHS left the
place more than thirty years ago. many
of the little girls playmates and &C
quaintances live in the village and take
a lively interest in the singer.
-Apropos of the phenomenal whist
hand stories current an old number of
the New York Sun records an instance
in which thirteen trumps turned up in
a hand of whist 1t was in January,
1888, and judge and three physicians
were the players. The pack was per-
fectly shuffied and cut, and the dealer
held the hand, turning up the knave of
clubs. Pole has calculated that the
chance of this event occurring is once
in 15S, $50, 900, 900.
The word calico" has a queer ORR
gin. Many centuries ago the first mon
arch of the province of Malabar gave to
guished services, his sword and all the
land within the limit of which a cock
Growing at a certain temple could be
heard. From this circumstance the lit
tie town which grew up in the center
of this territory was called Calicoda, or
the cock Growing. Afterwards it was
called Calicut, and from this place the
first cotton goods were imported into
England, bearing the name of calico.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
dentists meet with is the matching Of
false teeth with the natural teeth of
their customers. The tooth factories
supply dentists with rings, upon which
are strung thin short metal bars, each
carrying a tooth at its extremity.
There are twenty-five of these sample
teeth that run all the way from nearly
white to a shade that is almost olive.
Some of the twenty-five usually almost
matches the patients teeth, and, at any
rate, enables the dentist to match the
teeth by application at the factory.
William Astor Chanler, who is to
accompany German officer on an i'm
portant exploring expedition in East
Africa, brought back from his last
African trip probably the finest collec-
ton of trophies of the chase ever i'm
ported into the United States. MANY
of the specimens were made up into
articles of use or ornament An ele-
plants foot was silver mounted and
converted into champagne cooler; the
hide of rhinoceros formed the top of
a table, and there were many objects of
ivory. The importation paid s25, 900
duty.
The New York state building at the
Columbian exposition, as shown by the
plan which the commissioners have APP
proved, will be one of the most COM
modious and artistic of all. 1t will
measure 97x193 feet, be two stories
