Rats XIII a Hog.

This story comes from President, a
village located up the Allegheny: Saw
age rats attacked a pig belonging 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 We're
squealing, fighting, and tearing skin
and flesh from the head and under por-
tions of the animals body. The pig
had made gallant struggle and sew
eral rats lay dead around the pen,
while a number had been crushed by
his weight. Mr.. Harms, with the han
die of fail, attempted to beat the
rats away, but they were savage from
hunger and the taste of blood, and at
tackled him so savagely that he was
forced to leave the pig to his fate.
After returning and loading his gun he
returned to the pen, but the rats had
disappeared and the pig was dying.
They had eaten the flesh from the sof,
portions of the porl1er's body.-Phila

Rnys, Fun In the ArctIc..

The oldest boys of an Eskimo villaga
have all sorts of hunting games-musls
OK hunts, polar bear hunts and many
other of like character, which, fear,
would take up too much time to de-
scribe here In this way they fit them
selves to become expert hunters by the
time they become young men. In ath-
letic sports these boys really excel,
and a roll down hill is for them the
greatest fun. They generally find a
very steep hill, we'll covered with snow
and seat themselves on the ridge.
thrust their heads between their legs,
pass their clinched hands over their
ankles pressing their legs as closely
against their bodies as possible. Thus
they really become great balls covered
with reindeer hair. And then away
they go on the down hill race, sudden
ly spreading themselves out at full
length at the bottom of the hill. An
amusement that requires a great deal
of muscular strength is a peculiar kind
of short race on the hands and feet, the
legs and arms held perfectly rigid. 1t
is quite exhausting, and they generally
cover but two or three yards at time.
They have many similar ways of rae
ing to tougher the muscles of both
legs and feet.-Lieut. Swatka, in Sun

Unmarried American Women.

1t appears that in 1890 the number of
women of all ages in the United States
were 80, 554, $40, of whom II, 1873, 9Ss, or
1924 per cent. were single. The i'm
portant fact for our present purpose is
the number or percentage of marriage
able women who are in fact not mar
ried 1t is found that about 10 per
cent. marry before the age of 20, and a
very few before Is. The unmarried
are made up of maids, widows and
divorced persons, the last of which
classes is so small that it need scarcely
be considered for the present purpose.
Omitting the actual numbers and US
ing percentages only, the returns show
that between the ages of 20 and 20
about SO per cent were without hus-
bands; between 25 and 30, about 20 per
cent; between 80 and As, about 20 per
cent. After this the number of widows
increases so rapidly that from 45 to SIS
the unmarried amount to &c per cent. +,
and of women over 50 years ofage only
little over 30 per cent. have husbands.
Nearly per cent. of all women never
marry; about 10 per cent. of those be-
tween the ages of IS and 45 had not yet
married. and more than one-fourth OF
those between the ages of % and 30
were still unmarried brooklyn Eagle.

HELPED THACKERAY OUT.
How John p. Kennedy Wrote Chapter OF
1.-THE Virginians."

"The VlrSlnians.
MANY American readers of Thack-
erav have wondered how he was able
to write so graphic and correct an ac-
count of George Warrington escape
from Fort Duquesne and his journey
through the wilderness to the banks OF
the Potomac, as Thackeray had never
seen the magnificent valley through
which this gallant hero fled after his
daring escape. 1t will be surprise to
many people to hear that Thackeray
didn't write the chapter at all, but
that the well-known author, John L.
Kennedy did. This is the story as Col
John H. i. Latrobe used to tell it:
Kennedy was at dinner in London
with Thackeray, Anthony Trollope,
Wilkie Collins and other celebrities.
The dinner was over and the guests
were setting down to the wine and CT
CARS, when Thackeray, always at his
best upon jovial occasion like the
present, who was entertaining the
company with his wit and satire, sud
denly stopped and, looking at his
watch, exclaimed: Gentlemen, must
leave you; l have promised the printer
a chapter of The Virginians' to-mor-
row morning and l haven't written
line of it yet. l hate to go, but must.
The printer is inexorable: so, wishing
you all another meeting when can be
longer with you, bid you good even
ing"
Thackeray had almost reached the
door, when Kennedy called him back
and said:
perhaps l can write the chapter
for you. What are you going to de-
scribe?"
The great novelist seemed little
astonished at this bold proposition, brit
as he was perfect man of the world,
he was too polite to say what he
thought.
Kennedy, you are extremely kind
and gladly would l let you write the
chapter for me, for hate to leave &
jolly party in the midst of the fun
Then don't" all the company cried
Stay with US and let Mr.. Kennedy
write the proposed chapter"
81 am half mind to let you do i
just for the fun of the thing. 1t is {
chapter chiefly of description, giving
an account of George Warrington's es
cape from Fort Duquesne and his jour
ncy to the Potomac"
IF that's what you are writing
about, l can do it, for 1 know every
foot of the ground"
"All right, then" said Thackeray
resuming his seat at the board. lie
me have it early tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Kennedy withdrew, and going t.
his hotel, wrote the fourth chapter o
the second volume of The Virginians;
and thus it happened that George War
rington's narrative of his flight was ST
accurate as to the topography of thu
country through which he passed.

HER HAT WAS SEVEN STORIES.

sance Himself.
1t was beautiful hat, there was no
doubt about it. The man vino sat just
back of her was in towering rage; he
said there were twelve yards of lace on
it, a dozen sand-hill cranes, two jet
buckles, a bushel of roses and three
pins. His wife demurred to this.
SO, no, Henry" she said, you are
prejudiced. l don't think the birds are
quite SO large as sand-hill cranes, and

than ten yards of lace on it,

Il don't care if she does;" but he low

made jolly row when the bill came
in. I'm sure he did if the price CORE

''The size of a bonnet has nothing to

YEARLY.
"Humph! it ought. believe I'll speak
to her; the music is too good to"
20, Henry, don't; she looks so cross. .
''I'm not afraid" He leaned forward
and made motion to address the lady,
but when he met her eye he fell back
in his chair and became absorbed in
the orchestra.
The lady was evidently nervous. She
kept moving about in her chair and
the hat moved with her; times
she merely dismembered Mr.. Thomas
to his gaze; sometimes the whole or
chestra was blotted out.
The man back of her enjoyed the
music internationally. Finally, wher
the last musician went into eclipse he
leaned forward.
Madam" he said, in tones of cour
teous ferocity, zone ought not to inter

Will you kindly remove your hat? II
