A Variety of Evils.

Appointment Cape Elizabeth citizen
said yesterday that with taxes, tramps,
fires and Portland roughs the life of a
farmer of that town isn't exactly per-
feet dream. He said that only a few
days ago some of the people of the town
had an experience with some of the
Portland raughs that they will be apt
to recall for long time. The party in
question drove over to the Cape, and
when they reached what seemed to
them to be good hating point, they
proceeded with what seemed to be the
business of the trip-geting drunk.
Having accomplished that to their salts
faction, they tried their.hand at making
life exciting for others They shouted,
INDUCED in the most reckless sort of re-
volver practice on the public roads, and
in brief conducted themselves very much
as such men will after they have got
out of sight of the Portland police.

Rats Attack and Kill a Hog.
From the Philadelphia.

From the Philadelphia.
This story comes from President,
a village located up the Allegheny.
Savage rats attacked a pig belong
ing to Henry Harms recently. Mr..
Harms heard his porker squealing,
and went to the pen to investigate.
He found the pig down on the floor
of the pen and literally covered
with rats that were squealing,
fighting, and tearing skin and
flesh from the head and under por-
tons of the animals body. The
pig had made a gallant struggle
and several rats lay dead around
the pen. while a number had been
crushed by his weight. Mr.. Harms,
with the handle OF a fail. attempt
ed to beat the rats away, but they
were savage from hunger and the
taste OF blood, and attacked him so
savagely that he was forced to
leave the pig to his fate. After Sc
curing and loading his gun he re-
turned to the pen, but the rats
had disappeared and the pig was
dying. They had eaten the flesh
from the soft portions Of the pork
er's body.

The bird was found thus ted to the
ground.
Birds that use long hairs or
strings in the construction OF their
nests not infrequently become en-
tangled in them, and are some
times found hanging dead at their
own thresholds. An unusual case
pf accidental hanging was once
observed by the writer at Engle-
wood, NJ. Passing beneath chest
nut tree, one September morning, he
saw a small bird swinging to and
fro overhead without any visible
means OF support. It proved to be

about the longer feathers OF one
wing. The strand, with others sup
ported the SPIDERS cocoon, which
evidently accounted for its surpris-
ing strength. The young spiders
we're just appearing from their
silken cradle, and wasp was cap
turing them as they appeared,
doubtless to convey them as food
to his own young.

Curious Accidents to Birds.

From Our Animal Friends.
A strange accident is recorded in
the story Of a fish hawk, which
sunk it's talons so deep.into a huge
fish that it could not withdraw
them, and despite it's struggles,
was drawn beneath the water and
drowned. Indeed, the misadventures
that befall birds are not infrequent-
ly due to lack OF discretion in the
choice Of food. On several occa-
siOns starved pelicans have been
found with dead catfish in their
pouches. On being caught, the
fish had erected their sharp, spiny
fins and pierced the pouches of
their captors, which then could
neither swallow nor eject the I'M
welcome prey.
A singular instance is recorded
OF a chipping sparrow, which, in
swallowing a grasshopper, swal-
lowed also the blade of grass on
which the insect was resting, and

No science, unless it be that of the
electrician, can boast such a wonder
full growth in the past quarter century
as that of bacteriology, which has de-

since Pasteur made his initial investi-

coded by all branches and schools of
the medical profession that nine-tenths
land probably even larger per cent
of all the diseases of both man and an
imals are due to the presence of GER

the mysteries of life. Yet ii happens
every day. If You must choose a con-
fidante select a married one. She will
understand to nicely all your feel
ings, having previously gone through
the crucible, and if she be womanly
woman will sympathize with you and
arrange nice little interesting tab
leaux that would never enter into
your innocent minds, for women are
inveterate matchmakCrs. She will
show OF your good points and draw
attention to any little detail of your
dress or appearance likely to elicit adj
miration. and with a keennesS of deli
cacy which is an especial attribute of
the sex.
l have known many good match
spoiled by a girl conhdante. OF course,
| do not mean to insinuate that all
girls are the same. What | mean Is
this, that even innocentIy a girl may
by a thoughtleSs remark spoil her
friends cause. Girls would scorn such
a mean trick as trying to steal mans
affections vet they do not understand
the subtle personality Of the masculine
mind as a married fricD~ would do.
Some men are so constituted that they
cannot bear rival. others require RI
valrv to spur them on. With regard to
the former. imagine how like a bomb
shell such maIapropos as this would
sound: Rose is going to the theater
tonight with Mr. s." 4 fact which
Rose has studiously kept from the man,
knowing his jealous tendencies and not
liking to explain that it was her
younger sister that Mr.. 5. was fond of
and that Rose was only acting as chap
erOn. Then take the unscrupulous
girl. who knows the exact moment TO
point her keen poison-tipped dart,
arousing a host of emotions, of jealous
anger and wounded pride. Now, when
the victim is writhing, is the time to
pour forth the oil of sympathy, and
with quick instinct she seizes the op-
portunity and soothes poor masculine
vanity with such effect that Rose al
most before she knows it finds herself
minus friend and lover. Take my adj
vice, girls, and if you must have con-
fidante, select a married one.
