Rats do not, as one would suppose, re-
main on the ship, but get of 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 l discovered
while engaged in West India service.
There are here now rats from almost
every part of the globe. Why, saw
four colossal Jamaica rats, with their
white bellies, skipping about In the moon
light few weeks ago, and only ysster-
day killed two Indian male rats not
200 feet from where we were standing.
Rats are great climbers when they
find 1t necessary TO be 80. Upon one OF
my voyages not long ago We had 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

An excellent steward Of this worlds
goods is Augustus Hemenway, a retired
farmer Of Canton, Mass. He invited all
the public school teachers of that town,
90 in number, to take 10 days trip 10
the Worlds fair at his expense.
This is practical philanthropy of a
kind that warns the heart and increases
confidence In the goodness of human
nature. 1t is an easy matter to advise
every one to visit the exposition, but
there are thousands Of people anxious to
follow the advice who are confronted
with the perplexing and disoouraging
problem OF ways and means. Underpaid
schoolteachers, struggling clergymen,
men and women to whom the expendi-
ture Of 800 for an outing means serious
sacrifices for the remainder Of the year,
may be found in all parts of the coun-
try, longing TO 80 to Chicago, but re-
strained by financial considerations.
They are not suffering or destitute; they
simply can not afford TO indulge In the
luxury of a trip 20 tho fair. To this
class, intelligent and appreciative. a
friend like Mr.. Hemenway is a friend
indeed. d.-Rocheste Democrat

Animals possess in an apine. ibiem man-
ner certain tastes indicating an eicmen-
tary sense Of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and those
who do possess II manifest IL IN different
degrees. But It is sufficient TO know that
its existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted in this manner.
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subiugotes and fascinates his
mate with the beauty Of his plumage or
the fexibility Of his vocal organs. Thero
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense in a singular manner.
One Of these is the baya. He has a
passion for brilliant and variegsted OBJ
iects. and he has habit of ornamenting
the entrance to his nest, which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with a
variety Of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen TO strike bis
fancy. Among them are brilliantly col
ored feathers Of other birds, bright bits
Of shells, bits Of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ.
emit variety of oolors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
Of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in a marked manner

Yes, know you are saying to your
