GOLD LINING IN RATS.
The Metal Found in Rodents and savans
 Take the Tin.

The Metal Found in Rodents and savants
 Take the Tip.
 In forming a company for the ex- traction of gold from the microbes which are supposed to attach them selves to that metal in countless mil lions mature Frenchmen seem to have stolen an idea from thrifty Yankee boys, says the Chicago Tribune.
 I. B. Lake, a representative of the Waltham Watch company in this city, says it is common practice for the boys in watch and jewelry factories to kill rats and burn their bodies to get the gold from them, and that the amount thus obtained in the course of a year is considerable. In every large plant like that of the Waltham Watch company many oiled rags are used in burnishing watch eases, and in time become strongly inpregnated with gold. The boys about the factories are supposed to keep these rags out of reach of the rats, but they don't do so. On the contrary, knowing the keen ap- petite of the rodents for anything greasy, the boys carelessly leave these rubbing rags lying about where the rats can get at them and eat them. Six months of this kind of diet fills the interior mechanism of the rat with a gold plating he cannot get rid of. It sticks to him closely, and so long as the supply of oily rags holds out the rat sticks to the factory. In order to make sure the voracious rodents viii have an inducement to gorge themselves with gold, sharp boys drop butter and fatty meats from their luncheons on the floors and rub them well into the wood by shufaing their feet on it. At night the rats come out and nibble the floor ing. They don't care for the gold in it, but the grease attracts them, and in getting at the grease they take Q dressing of gold with it.
 Twice year the boys have a grand roundup. Rats are caught by the hun dreds and after being killed are put into crucible and burned. The intense heat drives off all animal substances, leaving the gold in the shape of but ton, The amount collected in this way depends upon the number of rats the boys can catch. It is hardly large enough to attract an investment of capital, but it gives the ingenious youngsters con- siderable pocket money, and encour- ages business tactics, In some factories there are young Napoleons, who buy up in advance the shares of their fel- low-workers in the rat colony. A scarcity of rats will depress the price of futures, while an overplus will ad- vance it. Sharpers who understand these conditions are accused of having at times caused an artificial scarcity or oversupply, as it might be to their in- terest to bull or bear the market.

THE FLEET OF MONITORS,
Their History a Long Record of Extrava.
 gance Consequent Upon Neglect.


 gance Consequent Upon Neglect.
 When the history of the monitors in the United States navy shall come to be told it will lay bare long record of extravaganza consequent upon neglect. Some of the uncompleted or recently completed monitors, says the New York Sun, were begun while many officers of the navy were still in their cradles, and the fleet of monitors just ordered from the James river, near Richmond, has been lying there rusting these twenty years. They are of the single turret type. One commander aboard the Ajax served for the whole fleet. They are all single-screw steamers, of 340-horse power, and each carries two guns. The Ajax, Canonicus, Mahonac. Manhattan, and Wyandotte are 2,100 tons each, while the Catskill, Jason, Lehigh, Montaul1, Nahant, Nantucket, Passaic, and Comanche are of 1875 tons each. Only two out of the six remaining at Richmond are to be prepared for sea, and it is said that of the four that have not been ordered immediately from the James some will probably be sold as scrap iron.
 The history of the old double-turret monitors, several of which have lately been completed, is somewhat like that of their single-turret sisters. The largest of these great ironclads is the Puritan. She is of 6,O60 tons and of 8,700 horsepower, and she carries ten guns. She is double barbette turret monitor and so are the Monadnock and Amphitrite. They and the Terror, a double-turret monitor, are each of $500 tons and 1,600 horsepower. The Monadnock carries six guns and the other two carry four guns each. All of the double-turret monitors are twin screw propellers. The whole fleet has been the mystery of the navy for near : ly quarter of a century, and the com pletion of several of these ships has dis appointed the expectation of every body that knows their history. Their cost was enormous, and there have been great changes in their plan of construc- tion. One of them lay for years at a shipyard at Wilmington, Del, until the shipbuilders put in a claim of many thousands of dollars for dockage. It used to be said that the double-turret monitors, if completed, would never be seaworthy, though, through change of construction, if nothing else, this evil prophecy has been disappointed.

"RABBIT Does."
Vigorous Plea Against Their Persesrtlor
 by a Florida Le.-isIator.

Vigorous Plea Against Their Persesutlon
 by Florida Legislator.
 Among the amusing discussions dur ing the legislative session at Tallahas- see was that on a bill of Sulliyan's of Escambia, providing for the prompt slaughter of rabid dogs. The reading clerk, says the Florida Times Union, had just read the title when an old gentleman, representative from one of the interior counties, arose and with great gravity and dignity said:
 'Mr. Speaker, am opposed to that bill. am opposed to it because Idon't see why rabbit dogs should be killed any quicker than any other kind of dogs. I've got rabbit dog. He ain't much on looks, but I tell you, when that dog gets on hot trail in the broom sedge and little later you hear his voice a-yelping in high key and the yelps gettin' fainter and fainter, till by and by you can just hear 'em down in the holler, and you go there and you see the little bench-legged yeller rascal barkin', his eyes bright and his fore head wrinkled with excitement, under sartin tree, jes' get you a pole and meat is your'n for dinner"
 There was breathleSs silence during the eloquent appeal for the rabbit dog. When it had been concluded others rose up and paid glowing tributes to the qualities of the rabbit dogs they owned, until one would have believed that a thing necessary to a mans candidacy in the state of Florida is a first-class rabbit dog. The bill, by the way, was killed by large majority.

Fewer Lawyers in France.

There will soon be great reduction in the number of lawyers in France. By recent law each one must take out yearly license, for which he pays an amount equal to about twelve per cent. of his house rent. Many persons admitted to the bar who are not in ac- tive practice have asked to have their names taken off the roll, among them M. Faillieres, formerly prime minister and minister of justice, and Senator Berenger, author of the law remitting the penalty for first offenses and also noted for his efforts to improve French morality.

Grnuth of Lion.

When young lion reaches the age of two years he is able to strangle or pull down horse or an OK, and so he con- tinues to grow and increase in strength till he reaches his eighth year, when he grows no more. For twenty years after his fangs and talons show no signs of decay, but after that he gradually be- comes feeble. and his teeth fail him.

COLUMBIA BUILDING AND
 LOAN ASSOCIATION.
Offers the Safest, SureSt and Most
 Profitable Investment Known.
Equally Advantageous to the Poor
 Man or Mi liORaire.
SAFE AS TIE BANK OF ENGLAND

The onward movement of building and loan associations IS marked one and justly too, for of all saving institutions none has stronger peculiar characteris- tics more distinctive functions. The simplicity of building and loan associ- ation is great advantage to the work ing classes, who have little time and few facilities for much investigation as to the merits and soundness of deposi- tories of their savings.
 A building and loan association has but one security-the best in the world real estate. This fact simplifes its management, for it's assets and their values are tangible. They are blessing to the community and so acknowledged to be, and after careful investigation it may be stated that there is none more solid, more ably conducted than is the "Columbia, whose home office is loca- ted at Denver, Col. It is we'll for our readers to be shown practical illustra- tion of what few dollars per month paid to the Columbia Building and Loan Association can produce in a compara- lively short time and we take it on a basis of only 5000 per month, or for twenty shares of $l00 each, soc per month for each share.
 20 shares, $2,000,00.

Any person may buy as many shares as he likes, mp to l, 1000 and the ratio is the same as in the above illustration Most every man of family would like to be the possessor of home, in fact it is his duty. This association will make installment loans to shareholders to the amonnt of $1O0 on each share of 50 shares held by them upon being secured by first mortgage on real estate, not exceeding 50 per cent of the actual cash value of such real estate.

NEED FOR A BROADER EVAN
COLLATION..

Of course, every religion has its weak
points, every church has its abuses which
must be reformed from time to time, and
the followers of other religions are very
quick in finding out these vulnerable
points. But every religion has also it's
strong points, and it is far better that they
also should be pointed out, and not the
weak points only, and that they should be
held up for the admiration and imitation
of other religions. If we hold that a relig-
ion should be judged by its fruits, can we
wonder that the Mohammcdans-yes, even
the unspeakable Turks should pride them
selves on the fact that their religion has
succeeded in stamping out drunkenness,
which no other religion. not even our own,
has been able to achieve, or that the Iainas
should take some credit for never touching
animal food? had Jaina dining with
me only few weeks ago, and confess
enyied him when he told me that during
the whole Of his life he Lad never eaten the
lush VI uhillit'in' lol even an tES, DttINS''
it contained q germ of life. TO not say
that we can measure the excellence of Il
religion by these outward tokens, by the
mere keeping the outside of the cup and
platter clean; still, suppose that we Chris
tans were the only total alstaincrs and
vegetarians in the world, SHOULD we not
point to this as one of the great trumphs
of our religion?
There can be no doubt that, for the fu-
ture, Christians, and particularly Christian
missionaries, will have to see to the Joints
of their armor. You may have heard that
not only the Mohammedans, but even the
BuddhistS in Japan, are going to send their
own missionaries all over the world There
are mosques sprDging up in England and

America, where thousands 20 to listen to

A MEETING OF AIMS HOUSE

CHeRRY HILL, Oct. II. ]

CHeRRY HILL, Oct. II, 1896
Trustees of the Poor and Insane met in
special session to-day. Present. J. II. Max
well and w. I. Hammond.
The secretary stated that the object of the
meeting was to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the heating apparatus at the Insane
Asylum, as the Supt. and Physician reported
that the escape of gas from the heaters was
such that it was liable to endanger the life of
the inmates.
The Trustees thereupon proceeded to Asy-
lum and had the bricks torn from around the
heaters and found the fronts burnt out TO
such an extent that they were beyond repair,
thereupon the board decided to change the
heating apparatus and have the building
heated by steam as being more economical
and much safer, as it was reported that the
building had been on fire upon two different
occasions, because of the present heating an
paratus, then it was ordered that the secre-
tary contract with some responsible parties
for the placing OF suitable heater in the
building.

PECULIAR PEOPLE.

There are people who live too high up on
the mountain, or too low down in the val
ey. to ever do the cause OF God much good.
There are too many people in the church
who would be frightened into hutter, if q
convicted sinner we've to come to them and
begin to talk religion.
Their" are professors ofreligion WHO weigh
Il ton for the party in election times, who
don t weigh anything for the Lord at any
time.
There people who help the devil by max
Ing too much noise in church, and Others
who help him by rot making noise enough.
There are people who look too happy at
a horse race, and too dismal in a prayer
meeting, to pull anybody toward the
church
There is a multitude greater than any
man can number, whose prayers are too
long in public and too short in private
Some people talk the most about loving
the Lord in the meeting when they have no
fear of collection being taken.
There are people who 90 wild with ex-
element in their politics, ho are as free
from it as an oyster in their religion.
Faith draws from sources untouched by
circumstances.
Faith measures every difficulty by the
power OF God, and then the mountain
becomes plain Faith knows 10 little
things.
The worlds most skillful aids are faith $
surest hindrances. Little evidence, much
adherence spgakcth a strong faith.
