NURSE TO A BABY RAT.
A California Cat That Has Lost Its
housing Instinct.


Four miles from Pennington, in
this state, says the San Francisco
Examiner, resides a well-to-do
rancher named Morrow. He has a
little four-year-old son, VERNE, who
usually has about everything he
takes fancy to. Among the things
he fancies and which he has is a
large matronly cat that has been
brought up to make due provisions
for herself and her progeny. Jet is
this cats name and jet her color.
Jet and VERNE are great friends
and they are frequently seen roam
ing around the premises together
when Jets time is not taken up with
her own private affairs. Jet has al
ways borne the reputation Of being
'sure death" to any rats or ground
squirrels. A short time ago in ex-
ploring the barns, granaries and
barn yard, VERNE came upon a nest
of Young rats, which he Immediately
took up and carried to the house and
placed carefully in a drawer of his
mothers sewing machine. Mrs.
Morrow objected to the nest OF rats
being in the drawer and took. them
out to drown them, when VERNE in
sisted he must keep one and begged
SO hard for it his mother gave it to
him. In short time he laid it down
and forgot about it. Then Jet came
along and took up the young rat and
carried it to her bed as companion
for her one kitten and solace to
her own mind. Strange as it may
appear, the young rat made himself
at home, derived his sustenance
from the'same source as the kitten,
received the same maternal atten-
tion from Jet, who seemed to forget
that she was nursing her legitimate
prey, to the great delight of Vernie
and the surprise of older heads about
the neighborhood. This strange
state of affairs continued for two or
three weeks, when the baby rat
strayed from Jets protection and
met its death at the claws Of another
cat not &C narciful as Jet. Strange
as this may appear, it is a fact, and
can be verified by several persons
who Witnessed this peculiar and
happy family.

a DOGS FAST.
Well Authenticated Case of One That
Lasted Twenty Two Days.

Lasted Twenty Two Days.
How long a dog can live without
food has been a much controverted
question among people who know the
dog and his ways. Some very long
survivals are on record, but none,
perhaps. more remarkable or inter
esting than a well authenticated
case which comes from France.
MIR. Gely, farm superintendent
at Dampierre, in the department of
the Upper Saone, has dog named
Rigolet, which, says the Youths
Companion, although past ten years
old, and almosttoothless, has never
abated the activity of his warfare
against all the animals of the field,
and especially against foxes.
A s, ort time ago, as Mr.. Gely,
with his dog, was passing the mouth
of fox burrow, Rigolet made sud
den and furious descent on the bur-
row, showing plainly that it was in
habited. 1t had so spacious an open
ing that the dog forced himself into
litquite out of sight. Presently the
master heard the tumult of com
bat within. The dog was barking
fiercely. Then there came the sound
of caving in, and Che noise ceased.
Either Rigolet had been silenced
by the fox, or he had been engulfed
by the collapse of the gallery in
which the fight was taking place.
Mr.. Gely set about digging him out,
but found the ground so stony that
he was obliged to give it up; and the
old dog was left to his fate.
Gely went home, and after mourn
ing the dog few days, thought of
him no more. Twenty-Five days
went by. 1t happened that the mil
Ter of the neighborhood, passing the
fox burrow with a friend, said:
There's the place where poor old
Rigolet was buried alive" Just
then he heard a feeble whining,
which seemed to come from under
ground.
he called and listened, and the
whining was repeated, louder than
before. There was certainly dog
within the fox burrow. The miller
ran TO apprise Ge!y, who this time
brought picks and shovels and a
sufficient number of hands to open
the burrow.
After five hours of active digging
the old dog was unearthed at con-
siderable depth. He was almost a
skeleton; his face was bloody, for he
had worn it almost to the bone in his
attempts to dig out through the
stony soil, and his claws were worn
off from the same cause.
AS soon as he was brought to the
open air Rigolet fell to the ground,
apparently dead. But his master
succeeded in reviving him with doses
of beef tea and milk, and the old dog
was soon seemingly as good as ever.
1t became a question whether he
had tasted in the burrow for the
% days, or whether be had sub
sisted on the fox which he GER
tainly found. 1t was assumed by his
master that he was too nearly tooth
less to have been able to devour a
fox; and those who dug him out de-
clared that there was no sign that he
had had ANYTHING to eat.

Hon. VIM. Buehrwein. state commits
sioner Of labor statistics, in Ohio, has
compiled some statistics from the rec
ords of his and other departments,
showing the effects free silver would
have on the members Of building and
loan associations. He finds hat the
building associations Of Ohio are sup
ported by 1885 persons, n per cent
round numbers, 10000 wage earners in
this n state have put savings into
building associations. Therefore, Mr..
Ruehrwein concludes that II these
wage-earners are interested in the ag-
gregate assets of the associations in
the ratio they have to the number Of
persons interested. then their interets
in the assets amounts to $4,000, GOO Of
the total assets Of the associations,
amounting to $e2. 600, 900. There is S7s,-
600. 600 loaned on mortgages, and of this
sum there belongs to the w-age-earners,
on the supposition made. $4,000, 900. All
of the mortgage debt has been made
within a few years, and under the pres
n standard of currency"
Mr.. Ruehrwein wonders how these
1000 wage earners would like to get
their deposits back in currency worth
only half that in which the loans were
made to the borrowing members.
His researches show that these no.
900 wage earners were receiving last
year an average dividend of 6 per cent,
and he would ask them if they think
that in the turmoil, distress, confusion
and prostration attending a change of
standard they would be likely to re-
ceive increased dividends. He calls
attention to the estimate that these
30, 900 wage earners constitute a quar-
ter Of the voting population Of the
state ami not only that. but there are
women and children among them, all
of whom would suffer from the adoption
of free silver
