FATE or a BLIND RAT.
How His Companions Cared for Him Til
Caught and Killed.

How His Companions Cared for Him TIL
Caught aud Killed.
The manner in which rats steal
eggs has always been regarded as a
wonderful example Of animal intelli-
gence. 1t is well known how orc rat
will hold the egg firmly between lis
four legs, then turn over upon its
back and, remaining in tins position,
allow itself to be pulled along b}
other rats until the nest IS reached.
Remarkable Us this may seem, |
beard the other day Of still more
astonishing example Of the intelli'
gence OF a rat. Patrick hurley lives
in a rural portion Of the Twenty-
third Ward Some distan G from his
home is a large tarn, where besides
horses and cows, he keeps number
OF chickens About 100 yards from
the barn brook winds its way
through rayinc. Naturally the
presence OF corn ADD grain about the
barn has drawn many rats. Incy
frequently come out in the barnyard
for food or to play Among the rats
the Hurleys had observed one that
was rare specimen Of his tribe
Its coat was Of pure white.
Strangely, too, the white rat, when
ever it appeared, had a companion
that was parently leading it. This
popularity caused the people to watch
the rodents. They discovered that
the white rat always held a straw IN
its mouth by which the other rat led
it. They concluded the rat was
blind. Sometimes, when particu-
larly good lot Of corn was found, the
white rat would drop the straw and
proceed to sat sly his hunger But
by an impatient movement he was
always able to bring TO him one OF
his kind friends, who would pick up
the straw, give il 10 him, and lead
the unfortunate back to the nest I'M
der the barn. One Of the most re-
maMable things noted was the fact
that every day the blind rat was led
out by another down 10 the brook TO
yet drink. This was not an Oc-
cas- onal but a regular, performance.
After the blind rat had sat SIZED its
thirst the straw would be put into its
n nth by its companion or attendant
and led carefully back %. But one day
some bows who we're not &C luaintea
with the story Of the blind rat, saw
the two animals coming from the
creek and at once made a charge
upon them. The leader of the .bliAd
rat endeayOrcd to hurry up its charge,
bat was finally forced to let go Of
the straw and scamper off to save its
own life. The white rat, left thus
helpless. was caught and k He'd The
family who had long watched the
daily exhibition Of the other rats

sghtleSs companion, learned its sad
fate with regret. Washington Post.

A Swimming Monkeys Franks.

Monkeys. as is we'll known, are ike
cats in dread Of getting wet, says the
NOUth's Companion. On shlptoard
lave often laughed to see them
scampcring from Il heavy spray as 1t
dashed over the deck or budding to-
gether under the lee Of the long boat
during a passing shower. But on the
shin EuDhrates we had a monkey
that was actually fond Of swimming.
One day while We were anchored in
the roadstead or Cape Coast castle,
on the west coast Of Africa, the pas
sengers were seated under The avn
ing looking at some iewelry that had
been brought on board by the natives
and offered for SALE The captains
wife had a very rare ring made or
African gold and engraved with the
signs of the zodiac IL had been
brought to her as an engagement
ring by her husband, and was the
dearer to her from the fact that he
had been wrecked and picked up at
sea with it on his Tiger One Of the
lady passengers who had been look
ing at the ring aud whose attention
was attracted by some Of the native
jewelry, placed it on the cabin sky
light beside her. The next moment
on pet monkey jumped on the sky
light, selling the ring and putting IL
in his mouth, jumned on the main
de k and ran forward Instantly
everyone was on his feet chasing the
monkey. 1t ran from one end OF the
deck to the other, and then cllmLed
alOft. Some Of the sailors went up
and drove it down again. When 1t
reached the rail ng Of the DulWarkS
it paused and looked around. The
sailors were fast closing in on 1t, ana
without a moments hesitation 10
Jumped overheard On rising TO the
surface it tried to climb up the yes
>cls side but her copper was hlgh
out the water, and 1t could get no
hold with its paws Then it dived,
swan under the ships bottom and
came to the surface on the other side
This performance it repeated three
or four times. While this was going
on the captains wife remained
seated. Tears were in her eyes as
she oke to the sailors. "Neycr
mind" she said, "don't chase the
poor monkey any more; it doesn't
know any better; It's instincts teach
it to steal" She had hardly finished
speaking when the monkey came
over the quarter Of the vessel and
with rush leaped across the deck
jumped into her lap, ana putting his
little finger into its mouth, drew the
r ng out of the cheek pouch at the
side of It jaw and dropped it into
her Jap With cry Of JOY she placed
it on her finger, and, taking the
dripping monkey in her arms. she
pressed it against her bosom and
kissed the little black upturned face
