Rats Are Great Travellers.

Rats do not, as one would suppose, re-
main on the ship, but get off at various
ports, and after remaining a while ship
on some other vessel for another voyage.
The water rats or wharf rats are great
travellers and make frequent voyages
around the lakes and even around
the world-the latter as 1 discovered
while engaged in West India service.
There are here now rats from almost
every part of the globe. Why, I saw
four colossal Jamaica rats. with their
white bellies, skipping about in the moon
light a few weeks ago, and only yester-
day I killed two Indian male rats not
200 feet from where we were standing.
Rats are great climbers when they
find it necessary to be so. Upon one of
my voyages not long ago we had a long
spell Of warm weather, and there was
no water in the hold which the small
army of rats on board could get at. One
night We put some water up at the cross
trees and waited for the result. Well,
the rats just swarmed up the ratlines
and went for the water. We killed as
many of them as we could as they came
down, and some Of them jumped over
board and were drowned. But we could
not kill them all, and a few made the
entire voyage with us.-Interview in
Chicago Tribune.

Old Songs Before the Queen.

A very pleasing innovation was intro
duced in a musical programme rendered
before the queen at Osborne house a
night or two since which deserves note.
Nine. Nordica and Mr.. Plunket Greene
were the vocalists, with Sig. Tosti as &C
companist on the piano, and in addition
to the accustomed repertory there were
given two old Irish songs arranged by
DR.. Villiers Stanford, an old Scotch
song arranged by Miss Lucy Broad
wood and an old Cornish song, "Where
Be Going?" arranged by Mr.. Arthur
Somervell, all being sung by Mr.. Greene.
The introduction of this last into a royal
programme may be considered due to
the labors of the Rev. Sabine Barring
Gould, the well known novelist, whose
collection of the words and tunes of the
half forgotten songs of the west country
deserves all praise. -Birmingham Post.

Bismarck's Advice to Students.

Only now, and in a roundabout way,
via Bonn, has the text Of the speech
which Prince Bismarck made at the re-
ception Of Bonn students become known.
The prince confessed that at the univer-
sity he neglected study, but added: "The
only thing that 1 am sorry for On look
ing back to those times is that I could
not later OF make up for what I had neg
lected then What one has learned aft
erward does not remain so firmly in ones
memory. | do not dissuade you from
working, but I am not Mortified if my
sons commit studentlike excuses, and
above all things I believe that the stu
dents life in corporations has this ad-
vantage-.that it somewhat steels the
character by subjecting each to the crit
icism of his comrades. This is a great
thing. AS long as one belongs to a cor
poration, to the opinion of which one at
taches much importance, n does not
easily go astray. The same thing plays
an important part later on in life. What
is it that is the backbone of German Of

A Bear, a Cab and a ''Sergot."

On Sunday evening an amusing Incl
dent occurred in the Champs Elysees
quarter. A man named Haja, employed
by M. Marseille, a wild beast tanner,
thought he had a right to add to his
wages by exhibiting his masters bear in
the streets. With this object in view
LIE installed the bear in an open cab, and
taking his seat beside the animal told
the coachman to drive to the Champs
Elysees. The vehicle reached the Avenue
Victor Hugo, followed by a crowd of
boys and young men, who by their de-
risive shouts attracted the attention Of
two sergents de vile. They stopped the
cab, and after ascertaining the truth
one of them got into the vehicle and Or
dered the cabman to drive to the nearest
police statiDn. The presence of a stranger
beside it so excited the bear that ny it's
swaying backward and forward it very
soon upset the vehicle. The merriment
caused by the sight of the cabman, the
sergents de vile and the tanner sprawling
on the ground, with the bear almost
under the upset cab, can easily be i'm
agined.-Paris Cor. London Standard.

How to Live if You Wish TO Live Long.

Aside from the very important and
controlling influence of inheritance, Of
diet and of temperate habits, the points
to be learned from the few statistical
data attainable are that longevity is pro-
NOTED by a quiet, peaceful life in a re-
tired and rural community, where there
is freedom from rvo strain and wor-
rying and excessively laborious toll. The
business man, with increasing cares and
responsibilities, the mill operative toll
ing hard to keep together the souls and
bodies of himself and his family, the
politicians, the handwriting professional
men, are not the chief contributors to
the centenarian ranks. DR.. Holyoke in
deed became a centenarian, but his ex-
ample has rarely been followed by his
professional brethren.-Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal.

Even With the Lightning Rod Men.

A gang of lightning rod sharks made
an attempt to rod a farmers house
against his will Saturday, but got the
worst of the bargain. The farmer is an
old soldier, living 10 miles south of this
city, named John Snyder. On Thurs
day n man called and inquired who
the owner was, got a drink of water and
departed. The next day another called
and proposed to make the farmer a pres
ent of 100 feet of rod, charging him 70
cents a foot for 10 feet and charging him
extra for the necessary points, insisting
that the farmer sign a contract for the
balance. This he refused to do, and the
fellow left. Saturday two more men
drove up to his place, threw out rods
and tools and proceeded to put up the
rods. The farmer objected, but they
claimed to have an order to do the work
and laughed him to scorn. Snyder got
his gun, and covering the man in the
wagon, who had drawn a revolver, he
ordered him to clear out or he would let
daylight through him. The fellow drove
off at lively rate, leaving his pal at the
mercy of the farmer, who served him in
like manner, and now the farmer has 40
feet of lightning rods to sell.-Warsaw

Where the Blame Belongs.

One of tie lovely nymphs who was
floating about among the sylvan woods
and streams during the summer has
among her belongings a gown which the
prosy man who pays the nymph's bills
considers not a dream, but a very sub
stantial reality, as it cost him $500 over
and above the original price. That was
the sum he paid for n of the horses
that took cold while the carriage waited
at the door of the modiste when the
gown was being fitted. He had been
clipped, and the illness resulted in his
death. The owner of the "creation,'
however, thinks the unreasonable man
should place the blame where it belongs
on the modiste of the fashionable
horse.-New York Times.

Where Sterling, Came From.

Sterling signifies money from the le-
galized standard Of coinage of Great
Britain. According to one theory the
term originated as follows: 1t is a cor
ruption of Easterling-a person from
north Germany, on the continent Of
Europe, and therefore from the east in
geographical relation to England. The
Easterlings were ingenious artisans
who came to England in the reign of
Henry III to refine the silver money, and
the coin they produced was called mon
eta Easterlingorum-the money of the
Easterlings.-New York Evening Sun.

Small Demand For Shoes.

People have not been lavish in their
purchases Of shoes of late years. The
surplus of them is undoubtedly smaller
than usual, and yet the quantities dis
tributed throughout the country have
been sufficiently extensive to enable deal
ers thus far to meet all the require
ments of their customers by simply buy
ing a few stray lots here and there to
piece out assortments. The accumula-
tons are dwindling, however, day by
day because there are more shoes being
consumed than there are being mann
featured.
When the clouds vanish from the com
mercial horizon, as nobody doubts they
willard it does not look reasonable
they should obscure the prospect much
longer-there will be greatly enlarged
markets all over the land for shoes. But
for the present there is not much to be
done except to get under cover. if there
is any shelter anywhere, and wait until
the storm subsidies .-tShoe ard Leather

Banks In the United States.

There are 3,700 national, 5000 state
and 1900 private banks in the United
States, a total of 5000, somewhat dimin-
ished since May by isolated suspensions
and insolvencies, but still in excess of
1900, several suspended banks having
after suspension resumed. The gross
deposits in national banks of the United
States amount to 81, 500. 900, 900, in state
banks to $3.50, 900, 900 and in private
banks to 800, 600, 900, a total of 2 1885,
300. The gross deposits in American
banks are so per cent greater than the
