How Rats Take Eggs Out of a Nest.

Henry Duco went out to the henhouse
yesterday to take off a hen with her
brood OF young chicks, and just % he
reached the door his attention wis at
trlcted by three big gray rats that seemed
to be much engaged with a nest full OF
new laid eggs in the corner, says C,mp.

wondered how rats could make awav With

effort, assisted by sundry pokes and prods
from the other two rats, the old fellow
managed to turn himself over on his
back, having the egg still clssped in his

stretched his legs and relaxed his mu,

DIR. SCOTS NEW BOOK.

Rev. W. j. SCOTS new book, Geographic
Etchings Of Ministers and Laymen of the
Georgia Conference" is selling rapidly
and has won high place in public favor.
Such men as Ex-Governor Northen, Gem
eral C. A. Evans, Hon. q. w. Sedell and
Rev. DR.. j. W. Hinton commend it in
high terms, and Rev. DR.. /. s. Hopkins
whites as follows:
Or Scott has made quite number of
valuable contributions to our literature in
the way OF essays, biographical and hiss
torical, but none i'll the judgment of this
writer. more interesting and important
than this, his biographical etchings 1t is
no small qualification to many persons now
living to meet in the printed page names
of ministers and public men with which
we are familiar, and to feel that the ser.
vices they have rendered the state and the
church have thus been given permanent
and abiding form. These men illustrated
Georgia and served their generation with
signal fidelity and ability. They were so
near to US, seemed so much a part of our
daily lite and thought, that we accepted
them without surprise and almost without
appreciation. Of many OF them it may be
truly said we shall not look upon their
like again. No man who has passed the
halt-century limit of lie in Georgia, and
who has enjoyed even casual touch with
these men, can read the glowing pages of
DR.. SCOTS book without a thrill of enthu,
siasn and genuine throb of pride that
such list caR be gathered from the histo-
ry, religious and civil, of one state. And
TO the younger generation the lesson OF
| these heroic lives is invaluable.
of the style Of the book no one who
knows DR.. Scott and his work needs to be
told that il will meet the highest expecta-
ton and satisfy the most exacting literary
taste. DIR. Scott belongs to a school OF
writers which presents fewer and fewer ex>
amples every year The particularly Of
his memory, the keenness OF his obserya.
ton and the Addisonian flow OF his sen,
fences mark his work at every stage and
furnish peculiar qualification to every
lover of elegant literature.
