George Diefcnback has game hen from
County Galway, Ireland, that is better
than rat terrier. A large rat tried 70 get
at the hens nest Instantly tho hen was
all feathers When tho rat tried 10 run
under her, she pcckod at him vioiously
The rat jumped at her and tried 20 catch
her by the neck. Every time the rat came
at tho hen she dropped her wings and met
him more than half way. Once the rat
pulled out little bunch Of feathers, but
his jump was short, and he failed 20 catch
tho hens neck. This made the hen more
angry. She went at the rat in earnest.
The rat would snap its jaws and squeak
in great rage. The two fought for half
an hour, and the hen killed the rat The
rat weighed three pounds.-Louisville

In summer the caribou feeds chiefly on
common plants. Ii is especially fond of a
broad leafed glass growing in wet places
and around the baIrens which are SO nu-
merous in various places In the interior Of
New Brunswick. In September you will
find them on these barrens feeding on the
reindeer moss (Cladonia rangiferina), of
which they are very fond. They will dig
for IL when the snow is nearly or quite
four feet deep They have been seen at this
work when only their backs were visible
above the surface of the snow. When there
is a crust on the snow, their operations at
once cease, as they are no longer able to
work. Then they betake themselves TO the
black moss which hangs from tho trees
which skirt the barrens This they will,
however, never eat 30 long as they can get
the genuine reindeer moss. Toward
spring they ascend TO the highlands and
hard wood ridges, where they remain until
the snow has left. The dark and white
caribou arr often seen together in droves.

strange Surrounding. ofa crn,e

On the banks Of the Castleman river, in
Pennsylvania, Is a sight which is well
worth going 70 see. a short distance from
the river, ut the foot Of the mountain, six
poplars are growing, the place inclosed be
ing in the shape Of a coffin. For about six
feet from the ground the six trees have a
common trunk, or rather root. as II seems
as II the six trees IN the inclosod space had
all united solidly and had grown out Of
the ground, carrying the earth above them
mp along 10 the height named Climbing
on top Of this common trunk. IL Is found
that these poplars must have been planted
around child grave. The incloscd space
Is about feet long and the green grass Is
growing IN the earth there. On one end il a
grayestone with an inscription ON il which.
however, is worn by time. II Is unknown
by whom the grave was made.

THE OPIUM HABIT AND ITS CURE.
Some Interesting Observations on the Curse
Of Chinatown.

Some Interesting Observations on the Curse
Of Chinatown.
It Is when the opium habit becomes fix
ed and the craving intense that the great
est injury occurs 20 the system. At regu-
lar times during the day there come grip
ing pains, which become understandable az
ony IL tho victim is unable to get to his
pipe. These pains subside with the first
Whit of opium and are followed by the
most delightful sensations. When a man
reaches this stage, it is almost impossible
10 cure him II is exceedingly doubtful
whether there is any known remedy TO
cure an opium sot. The Chinese have med
icines In abundance One cannot walk
down block ina Chinatown, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, without seeing a score
OF advertisements Of pretended infallible
cures The usual opium cure is o course
Of pills which contain more or less opium
and arc taken in gradually decreased doses
TILL IL is claimed, the taste for the drug
has gone. In the majority Of cases tho pa
tient Is only changed from an opium
smoker TO an opium eater, and he has only
jumped out Of the frying pan into the fire.
Even when a man has profcsscd to DO
cured Of the craving he still retains the
memory Of opium's olysian joys, and when
his sorrow with the drug. To many the
pipe has such n fascination that after they
have gone for months without touching il
u strange infatuation will suddenly take
hold Of Thorn, even though they realize that
every Pipe they take only rivets the chains
the tighter. II may be interesting TO add
that ont Of BIS opium smokers questioned
during the last five years 40 acknowledge
Cd that they began 10 smoke 10 quiet pain,
soothe grief or as an imagined cure for
some disease; IFS acknowledged that they
sought the pipo for the sake Of its pleas

BASE BALL.
The Meeting Of Subscribers
Held Saturday Evening.
HARRY SAGE Is THE MANAGER.

Players Being Engaged for tho se..on-
Election Of Directors Deferred tn . Sub
sequent Mccting-Changcs In the Hules.
The base ball fever has taken a
firm root in Rock Island. and by the
time the season opens in Nav. we
will be in the field with a good strong
team. Saturday evening the sub,
scribers met at McHugh's ticket
office, and the committee appointed
to confer with Harry Sage, reported
that that player had accepted the
management of the Rock Island club.
MIR. Sage said that he was already
negotiating with several PLAYERS.
such as George Mutton, Paddy Lynch
and Putty" Zeis. of the old Rock
Island-Moline team.
The election OF directors was de.
ferred until the subscription COM
mittee could visit Moline and see
what that city would do. Already
Rock Island has contributed 81. 100.
and little doubt is entertained but
that 81, 800 can be raised.
The New Rules.
The rules of this year do not con-
fl;ct with the old rules to any ex-
tent. Among the proposed changes
in the rules governing the game is
one providing that two balls Shall be
furnished by the home club. and that
when one is batted to foul grouud
the umpire shall at once put the
other ball into play: and when one
ball is lost the other shall be used.
and that when one is SO damaged as
to be unfit for play the umpire shall,
ut the request of either captain,
bring the other ball into play, calling
for new ball ut the same time.
Another rule defines a sacrifice hit
as one falling in fair ground and
made for the purpose of advancing
a runner on base. which results in
putting out the batsman, or would
so result il handled without an error.
One says that strike is a foul hit
made By a batsman while trying to
bunt sacrifice hit that rolls upon
foul ground between the home plate
and third base. Sill another rule
defines n strike as a ball struck at if
the ball touches any part of the bats
man's person.
Another proposed rule SAYS, 1.-The
batsman is out if. while attempting
a third strike, the ball touches any
part of his person. in which event
base runners occupying bases shall
return. rs provided in section 5, rule
AZ. Of the old rules. The following
