A RAT IN DISGUISE.
Ii Was Transformed by a Swindling
Dealers Ingenuity Into a Lapdog.

DedfeT ) ingenuity Into LapQ0g.
Writing from 81. Petersburg a CORE
spondent OF the London Telegraph says :
A curious case comes up for trial in a court
Of second instance next week, the details of
which are instructive. The plaintiff, a
lady, took strong fancy to a tiny lspdOg
few months ago. which she declared was
the prettiest and funpiest little creature she
had ever set eyes upon. The dealer, how
ever, dampened her enthusiasm by asking
an exerbitant price for the animal, whose
nimbleness and vivacity were certainly
marvellous.
A day or two later the lady called again,
determined 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
differently from the pagan monarch. how
ever, and paying the money returned home
with the coveted prize.
All Scr friends admired her new acqus-
ton, but both she and they agreed that il
was somewhat queer that the animal should
be continually sinking away into dark cor
ners and generally fighting shy of the light.
While she had no more success in trying to
tame 1t than If she had tried her hand at
jaguar. The general conduct of the lapdog
was highly mysterious, but it was mystery
possessed of certain charm which rather
added TO its value than otherwise.
Due leu the animal With Tie pest OF every
thing, and one day, after it had partaken of
hearty meal. its mistress thought she
heard an explosion. Looking around she
missed her lap dog, but in its place beheld
an enormous rat standing upon the lap
dogs skin, in which it had been cunningly
sewed I'D by the dishonest dealer. The
case will Iow be heard by the court Of sec
ond instance in connection with the ques-
ton of the amount of damages claimed by
the plaintiff. The dealer alleges that he
was deceived himself, having purchased 1t

DISPOSING OF REFUSE.
How 1t Is Burned i'm Furnace in an
English Town.

Philadelphia Record.
furnace for the destruction of the
towns refuse is In operation at Oldham,
England, which burns at a temperature Of
over 1000 deg, Fab, and this prod igious
heat when applied TO raising steam, is said
10 render sufficient power available to more
than repay the cost of collection and burn
ing. The cells of the destructor are each
just over five feet wide, and one of the most
important features is jet Of steam which
forces air into the closed ashpit by means
of surface friction at pressure equal TO
one-half inch OF water. Another special
feature is the arrangement Of fines and flue
openings, these being placed in the front of
the reyerDeratoTy furnace arch, over the
hottest part Of the fire; thus the gases given
off by the drying refuse at the back
have 10 pass over the hottest part of The
fire of 1000 degrees temperature, and through
small apertures in a red-hot reverberatory
arch, before they can escape: the flues pass
along over the top of the reverberatorv arch
and then down through cavities In the side
walls to the main fue underneath. The
furnace is practically surrounded with hot
gases, which have the maximum effect in.
drying the green refuse. A longitudinal
trough or hopper Is at the hack, into which
the carts tip direct, the hopper being
brought down TO the crate bars, and
the opening at the back is Of the full
width aud height Of The furnace; the crate
surface proper Is % square feet in each
cell. The refuse is gradually moved for
ward by waye-like motion and deposited
In the form of clinker on the wide dead
plate" where it remains until the attendant
comes along to remove IL. The continual
Omission OF cold air to the furnace Is by
this arrangement completely avoided.

A PUNCTUAL RED MAN.
1t Cost Just $4,000 to Break an
Appointment Made With Him.
Harper's Young Peep


Matthias Spliilog, chief Of the Wyan-
dottes. lives in Kansas. and, being known
to possess about $1,000, 900 worth of prop
erty. Is called the wealthiest Indian in
America. Although over 20 years of age
and unable to read or WRITE he Is keen
business man. BY his shrewdness and
ability he has acquired large tracts of land
IN Kansas aud Missouri houses and lots in
Kansas City, and has money invested in a
number Of paving enterprises.
The white men to whom he gave $40, 600
lesson In punctuality had persuaded him TO
sell them certain tract of land for $40. 900.
and were to pay him the money at 10 O'Clock
at a bank In Kansas City. On the appointed
morning, lew minutes before the hour
named. the old Indian entered the bank
and took seat. with his eye fixed upon a
clock.
The capitalists had not appeared when
the hands OF the clock reached the hour.
As 1T began to strike the old Indian rose TO
his feet, and at the last stroke Of the clock
he promptly walked out of the building. On
the street, less than block away, he met
tile men who were TO buy his land nurryiDg
toward tho bank. They begged him to re-
turn with them. but he refused, saying that
II they still wished to deal with him he
would meet them at 10 o'clock on the fol-
lowing day at the same place.
This time both the white men and the
Indian were promptly on hand; but when
the former offered old Matthias the price
agreed upon for the land he told them that
while $4,000 was yesterdays price, to-
days price was $3.50, 900; and to these terms
they finally were com eled TO accede.

A White Man in the Soudan.

Two or three years ago the Sun said that
IL he was still alive. a solitary white man
was living in the Central Soudan, the only
representative of the white race among
millions OF fapatiral Mohammedans and
heather blacks. When the great German
explorer DIR. Nachtigal lett Kouka. the
capital OF Bornu, just twenty years ago, his
Italian servant told him he liked the eOun-
try and had decided to spend the remainder
of his life there. So Nachtigal left him on
the shores of Lake Tchad.
From that time nothing was heard OF the
only white resident of the Soudan until
Captain Montel returned to Paris the other
day. The captain said that during his four
months stay in Kouka he had In his en-
ploy the Italian servant whom Nachtiga
left 10 the country twenty years ago. The
mau is known as Mohammed FL Mousel-
mani Owing to the long disuse of his
native language he speaks it with difficulty.
He Is a devout follower of Islam, and has
no desire 10 return to Europe.

Ostrich plumes as they arrive in the market
look like bedraggled turkey feathers, and
they pass through a score of hands before
they become the fluffy and graceful adjunct
TO feminine attire.
a letteT-writer In Australia speaks of a
huge eel which Is sometimes met with In the
lakes or large rivers in the interior OF that
country. His first introduction to them was
somewhat original. He had been swimming
near the shore in beautiful secluded bay
and feeling fatigued seated himself on a
log nearly as large as his body, which
seemed to be resting on the pebbly bottom.
Suddenly tho log slipped from upder him
and moved gracefully away. Ii proved to
be an eel fifteen feet in length.
