BB-The Houston Narcotic Cure
Institute is fast making reputa-
tion on its merits. Its success in
the cure for the liquor habit is
unparalleled. Those who have
taken the cure say, not only is the
tase for liquor entirely lost, but it
becomes very repulsive to the
taste and smell. It is claimed by
experts that the Houston is the
best and safest cure known to sci
ence. There is always gain in
flesh, vigor and strength while
taking treatment. It is a safe,
cheap and sure cure. If you or
your friends are addicted to the
liquor habit, write to the manager,
DIR. W. E. Fenton, Rocky Ford,
Colo, for terms and particulars.

FATE OF A BLIND RAT.
How His Companions Cared for Him Till
Caught and Killed.

How His Companions Cared for Him Till
Caught and Killed.
The manner in which rats steal eggs
has always been regarded as wonder
full example of animal intelligence. 1t
is we'll known how one rat will hold
the egg firmly between it's four legs,
then turn over upon it's back and, re-
naming in this position, allow itself
to be pulled along by other rats until
the nest is reached Remarkable as
this may SEEM we heard the other day
of still more astonishing example of
the intelligence of rat. Patrick Hur-
ley lives in rural portion of the TWEEN
ty-third ward. Some distance from his
home is a large barn, where besides
horses and cows he keeps a number of
chickens. About one hundred yards
from the barn brook winds it's way
through ravine. Naturally the pres
ence of corn and grain about the barn
has drawn many rats They frequent
ly come out in the barnyard for food or
to play. Among the rats the Hurleys
had observed one that was rare speci-
men of his tribe. Its coats was of pure
white. Strangely, too, the white rat,
whenever it appeared, had companion
that was apparently leading it. This
popularity caused the people to watch
the rodents They discovered that the
white rat always held straw in its
mouth by which the other rat led it.
They concluded the rat was blind.
Sometimes, when a particularly good
lot of corn was found, the white rat
would drop the straw and proceed to
satisfy his hunger But by an impa'
tient movement he was always able to
bring to him one of his kind friends,
/ who would pick up the straw, give il
/ to him and lead the unfortunate back
to the nest under the barn. One of the
most remarkable things noted was the
fact that every day the blind rat was
led out by another down to the brook
to get drink. This was not an occa
sional, but a regular, performance
After the blind rat had satisfied it:
thirst the straw would be put into its
mouth by its companion or attendant
and led carefully back. But one day
some boys who were not acquainted
with the story of the blind rat saw thu
two animals coming from the creek anc
at once made charge upon them
The leader of the blind rat endeavore,
to hurry up its charge, but was finall,
forced to let go of the straw ant
scamper off to save its own life. Tn
white rat, left thus helpless, wa
caught and killed. The family, VIII
had long watched the daily exhibition
Of the other rats tenderness and devC
ton for their sightless companion
learned its sad fate with regret Wash

Berlin's Newspapers.

The newspaper business in and from
the capital of the German empire is
something stupendous, as appears
from the following figures, which are
furnished by the newspaper depart
ment of the Berlin post office. Last
month there were published nearly
forty political journals, and the total
daily issues of these passing through
the post office amounted in round mum
bers to 500, 900 copies. There are 72O
non-political papers published in the
city, and their total post Office circula-
ton amounted to more than 100, 900 a
day. Upward of 1000 mail bags and
$50 clerks are employed in the news.

newspapers and other periodicals that
were published in the German empire
at the beginning of the present year
was 1886. OF these 1850 were. printed

The Manufacture Carried on After the
Most Improved Methods.
A careful survey of that vacant nest
convinced nv wasp at once that ii
afforded the exact com bination of ad-
vantapes she was in search of; and as
soon as she had satisfied herself by a
course of watching that the hole was
not now in possession OF any stronger
and more aggressive wasp-eatlng AMI
! NAL she abandoned at once her dig
ring operations and took up her abode
in the ready made tavern. There she
set to work at once upon the collection
of material for the first new cells,
which we saw her bringing in from the
decaying place on the gatepost with
commendable activity.
The nest itself our queen constructed
within a vacant hole, building and lin
inp it with a peculiar sort of paper OF
which she and her kind have the entire
monopoly This paper is manufactured
fiber, after the most modern human
fashion-the wood being first reduced
to a complete pulp, and then kneaded
with the jaws to the proper
thickness and consistency. In most
cases the raw material is nib
bled piecemeal off the bark of
trees; but my wasp fortunately
discovered early in her career weak
spot at the base of the rustic gate in
| the garden, and worked this mine with
such skill and industry that before the
end of the summer she and her de-
scendants had gnawed a great hole in
it as big as a teapot, She even en-
rendered the stability of the structure.
Wasps seem to moisten the pulp as they
knead it with a secretion from their
mouths, the analogue, l suppose, of
saliva; they use their powerful jaws to
reduce the little balls OF torn wood TO
this pulp, and then to spread it into
thin sheets of papery layers
The cells built of the paper so pre-
pared are hexagonal, like those of the
common hive-bee; and indeed wasps
and bees, in spite of ethical divergen-
cies, are descended from single very
early ancestor, many of whose domestic
tricks and traits both great groups OF
social insects retain most faithfully.
But while the bees have learned to
build great many more cells than
they need for the use of their grub,
and to employ the supernumerary ones
as storehouses or jars for preserving
honey, the wasps only make just as
many cells as they mean to fill with
larvae, and bring up young grub in
each at least three times over in
single season. The fact is, the hex
agonal cell was originally intended as
a cradle for the larva alone; the bee
hive has diverted it in part from its
primitive purpose, and has applied it
to new and wholly economical OBJ
ject. Wasps are bees which have never
learnt honey-malSing - Longman's
Magazine.

SACRAMENTO, July 13.-This has
been one of the most exciting days in
the history of the strike. AS result
two III an were wounded and are in the
hospital, while several Others are re-
ported dead or injured. Shortly after
10 o'clock this morning switch en-
CINE was proceeding along front street
to clear the track. A company Of
regulars under command Of Captain
Roberts, battery L, Fifth United States
artillery, accompanied the engine. AS
they reached | street it is claimed a
gang of strikers fired on the troops.
The soldiers returned the fire
and several men we're seen
to fall. Two of them were
picked up by the police and removed
TO the receiving hospital.

Frank Buckley. the former marine
of the United States steamer Alliance
and was attracted TO the scene OF the
conflict by large crowd. He was
shot throug h the body and is dying.
Buckley lives in Butte county and was
here on visit. He was shot through
th right shoulder. Both men deny
nat they were in any way connected
with the strike. Stuart has made an
ante>mortem statement in which he
declares he was shot down because he
refused to halt when ordered to do SO
by the regulars. The shooting was
heard at the depot and Col. Graham,
who is in comma d of the first Uuited
States marine corps, started from the
depot with fixed bayonets. They di-
v!ded into charging squads and ex
tended the dead line to second street.
Shortly afterwwaid troop |, fourth

second street to j and thence to Front,
sweeping every thing before them.
United States Marshal Baldwin was

law. He called upon the people in the
name of the United States to go to
their homes and remain there until the
trouble is over. A few obeyed, but
the majority remained on the streets
in defiance of the order.
This afternoon the streets are com
