A Rat i'm Curious Guise.

Writing from St. Petersburg, our cor
respondent says: A curious case comes
up for trial in a Court of Second In
stance next week, the details of which
are instructive. The plaintiff, an lady
took strong fancy TO tiny lap-dog
few months ago, which she declared was
the prettiest and funniest little creature
she had ever set her eyes upon. The
dealer, however, dampened her enthus-
ism by asking an exorbitsnt price for
the animal, whose nimbteness and vivac-
ity were certainly marvellous. A day Or
two later the lady called again, deter
mined to pay the extravagant price, but
like the Roman king, when bidding for
the books of the Sybil, her offer was
refused and the price raised. She acted
somewhat different from the pagan
monarch, however, and paying the
money, returned home with the coveted
prize.
All her friends admired her new &C.
QUESTION, but both she and they agreed
that it was somewhat queer that the
animal should be continually sinking
away into dark corners, and generally
fighting shy of the light, while she had
no more success in trying to tame it than
if she had tried her hand on jaguar.
The general conduct of the lap-dog was
highly mysterious, but it was mystery
possessed Of a certain charm which
rather added to its value than otherwise.
They fed the animal with the best of
everything, and, one day, after it had
partaken of a hearty meal, its mistress
thought she heard an explosion. Look
ing round, she missed her lap-dog, but
in It's place beheld an enormous rat
standing on the dogs skin, in which it
had been cunningly sewed up by the
dishonest dealer. The case will now be
heard by Court of Second Instance in
connection with the question of the
amount of damages claimed by the plain
tiff. The dealer alleges that he was de-
ceived himself, having purchased it for
a lapdog.,-London Telegraph.

Stopping a HiccOugh.

"Why don't you stop that hiccough-
lng?' said a gentleman to friend, who
for some moments had been subjected to
the annoying convulsive movement of
the diaphragm.
81 wish l could,'' gasped the victim,
''but it's no go. A fellow tried to scare
me-said my coat was on fre-knew it
wasn't-swallowed nine times nine swal-
lows of water-no go-feel like a washed
out hand engine" he calculated, angrily,
having told his woes in disjointed utter
ances and between coughs.
"Well, you are a chump," remarked
the first speaker. Come with me-" and
he led his friend into an adjoining re-
taurant and ordered heaping spoonful
of powdered sugar.
Come" he said, "swallow this all at
once" The victim did so slowly, and
found to his intense surprise and relief
when the operation was completed that
the hiccoughs had vanished.
Now" remarked the first gentleman,
"for teaching you that remedy I'll take
just one cigar with you. 1t is not part
of the process, but it's worth the price,
isn't it2 AS for the sugar have never
known it to fail to cure even the most
stubborn case of hiccoughs. New York
