The house where General Rusk. died
has been the family residence for many
years. Blue books, congressional direc-
tories and biographical dictionaries give
General Rusk's occupation as that of a
farmer, and rightfully He owned one
of the finest farms in Vernon county. It
lies north of the village of Virouua, and
is i'll Il high state of cultivation. The
dwelling is a plain frame structure, a
story and a half high, and is painted a
weatherworn yellow. Tall locust trees
surround the building AT one side are
large barns, granaries and tool house.
The rooms Of the dwelling are eight in
number and are not large and roomy,

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 i discovered
while engaged in West India service.
There are here now rats from almost
every part of the globe. Why, saw
four~cOIossal Jamaica rats, with their
white bellies, skipping about in the moon
light a few weeks ago, and only yester-
day l killed two Indian male rats not
200 feet from where we We're 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 rs they came
down, and some of them jumped over
board and were drowned. But we could
not kill them all, and few made tho
entire voyage with us.-Interview in

French Poiiteness.

Suppose French politeness is a myth,
It is one to be cultivated the world over.
Even the humblest peasant in the small
est province is endowed with an all con-
quering courtesy that is brought into
play in the most commonplace matters.
If our men could only be taught some of
it, how much moro easily would run the
wheels of life's machinery! Business is
business, of course. The rush and worry
of money getting dwarf the real nature,
yet at the same time stocks would actno
more irreguIarly, bills would be no less
ready to be paid, panics would occur no
more frequently if the arbitrators of
great affairs would but remember to
bring into their business life aIttle more
of the softening influence or refined
courtesies that are the flowers in mead
ow of rank weeds.-New York World.

Lightning's Strange Selection.

Probably one of the most remarkable
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one OF the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing a sheep. Another man, passing on
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for minute or two. He had
been standing there but very short
time when q sharp crack of thunder was
preceded bya binding fash of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out of
his senses by seeing the pony and its
rider suddenly collapse in a heap, but III
a second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it rs 1t had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
dead! This, it may be as well to state,
is a perfectly true story.-London Tit

Captain Ben ferguson, collector on the

The other day the captain said 10 me:
You seldom hear Of a man making
$50, 600 N one night in these days, but I
know Of such an instance. Mr.. Cole
man, who ran . foundry on Washington
street, near Brook. did II. II relating II
to me he exhibited 10 delight Whatever
His words were: Captain. L made $780,,
COO last night; went TO bed early and
slept soundly. TCu know the price Of
iron went up, and fortunately l had
enough on hand, which l had purchased
at low figure, 10 net me fortune As
Captain Ferguson concluded the story
he told another Of how Dennis Long
made $500, 900 because the price Of iron
dropped out Of sight. It was just at a
time when Mr.. Long had failed in bust
ness and told Captain Ferguson that he
was 300, COO IN debt.
"Well, " said the captain, dennis Long
went mp to indianapolis to bid on the
construction Of the city waterworks.
There was but one other bidder, and
Mr.. Long was awarded the contract.
Not long after iron began fuctuating,
and Longs estimate having been made
on the basis that iron would advance
still more in price, it already being high
at the time, he of course found that as
it decreased he was reaping a golden
harvest. Well, iron went down and
down. When it stopped, it was worth
hardly anything. Mr.. Long, as I said,
made 100000 by this, and he's been
making money ever since. louisville

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 quiet, peaceful life in re
tired and rural community, where there
is freedom from nervous 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 hardworking professional
men. are not the chief contributors to
the centenarian ranks. Dr.. Holyolle in
deed became Il centenarian, but his ex-
ample has rarely been followed by his
professional brethren.-Boston Medical

Where "ster,ins" Came FROM.

Sterling signifies money from the Ie-
galized standard of coinage OF Great
Britain. According 10 one theory the
term originated as follows: 1t Is cor
ruption OF Easterhng-a person from
north Germany, on the continent Of
Europe. and therefore from the east in
geographical relation to England. The
Easterlings We're 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.

The Right to Stop Dog Fight.

Boston, Oct. 19.-The full bench
of the supreme court has decided
that a man is justified in prevent
ing a dog fight, and that if in doing
such a thing he gets bitten the
owner of the dog must pay damages.
The decision is given in a case in
which Daniel B. Matteson, of Pal
mer, was plaintiff, and Homer c.
Strong, also citizen of Palmer, the
defendant. The jury awarded the
plaintiff a verdict of 1915 and the
defendant excepted. The supreme
court, in overriding the exceptions,
says:
lon the plaintiffs testimony the
jury may have found that after the
dogs had been growing, but before
they had come together, and while
the defendants dog was lying I'M
der q wagon four or five feet away,
he told the dog, which was in his
custody, to come along, and put his
hand on the dogs collar and neck
to fetch him along, and that the
defendants dog then sprang on the
other dog, and in so doing struck
the plaintiff finger. We cannot
say as n matter Of law that the
plaintiff was not in the exercise of
due care in putting his hand on the
collar or neck Of the dog, which
was in his custody, in order to
bring him along and prevent
a fight. Under the circumstances
it may have been a very proper
thing for him to DO, and at the
time it may not have seemed TO
expose him to much, if any, dan
ger.
'In cases of this kind great
deal depends on the size, the APP
parent disposition, the condition,
and situation of the two dogs, and
upon other circumstances which
are usually proper for the consider
alton of the jury

r,ismarcI,,, Advice to- studeats.

Only now, and III 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 l am sorry for on look
ing back to those times Is that i could
not later on make up for what 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 ! am not Mortified if my
sons commit studentlike excuses, and
above all things L believe that the stu
dents life in corporations has this adj
yantage-that it somewhat steels the
character by subjecting each to the crit
icism of his comrades. This is u great
thing. AS long as one belongs to cor
poration, TO the opinion of which one at
taches much Importance, one does not
easily go astray. The Same thing plays
an important part later on in life. What

The Best Language For TeIeohoning.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-
phone than the English. 1t is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-
tables in English renders it a less easy
and accurate means OF communication.
Some English words are especially diff
cult of transmission by telephone. The
word soldier is cited as one of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the
midst of an otherwise perfectly audible
and intelligent conversation which the
ear cannot possibly catch. These must
be spelled out, involving delay.-Elec
