RATS MAY BE TAUGHT.
Cunning Tricks the Rodents Acquire By
Judicious Training.

Louise Michel called attention after q
long period of imprisonment to the So
ciable and other good qualities of rats
She taught her three cats to live AMIGA
bly, with troops of rats hat visited her
at regular hours twice a day. The cats
began by attacking the rats and killing
one and breaking the leg of another,
Mile. Michel tended the injured rat and
thus won the confidence of it's fellows.
One of their virtues was respect for the
aged, another was family feeling, an
other compassion for unfortunate
brethren. The governor of the prison
used to send the broken bread from his
table for the prisoners four-footed Wis
itors, and often came himself to witness
the visits. Armand Leyritz has been
bitten with Louise Michel's friendship
for rats. He agrees from personal eX-
perience with her in thinking that there
is no four-footed creature more sus-
ceptible of education. The Russian
Duroff took up a few days ago the
Louise Michel idea of bringing out the
human qualities of the rat, and is now
making money with a company of
tanned rats. They, sailor-like, climb
the ropes of a mimic ship and behave in
most ways like the Industrious rats
which were one of the shows of London
in the reign of William ". Duroff had
much less trouble In teaching rats than
dogs. He discovered in them a reten-
tive ear for language and greater
adaptability than he had found in any
therspecies=Pariz Cor. Lopdon News.

connected the two into one plan. So
the events are linked together. You
who are aged men look back and group
together a thousand things in your life
that once seemed isolated. One
chain of undivided events reached
from that old Garden of Eden
to the Cross of Calvary, and thus up to
the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a re-
lation between the smallest insect that
huns in the summer air and the arch
angle on his throne. God can trace a
direct ancestral line from the bluejay
that this spring will build its nest in
the tree behind the house to some of
the locks of birds WHICH, when Noah
hoisted the ark window, with a whirr
and dash of bright wings went out to
sing over Mount Ararat The
tulips hat bloom in the garden
this spring were procured by tho
snowfakes. The furthest star on
one side of the universe could
not look towards the furthest star
on the other side of the universe and
say: You are no relation to NO." for
from the bright orb the voice of light
would ring cross the heavens respond
ing, Eyes, yes, we are sisters" Moth
ing in Gods universe swings at loose
ends. Accidents are only Gods way of
turning a lea in the book of his
eternal DEGREES. From our cradle to
to our grave there is a path all marked
out. Each event in our life Is con
nected with every other event
in our life. Our losses may be
the most direct road to our gain.
Our defeat and our victory are
twin brothers. The whole direction Of
our life was changed by something
which at the time seemed to US trihing,
while some occurrence which seemed
to us tremendous affected us but little.
Gods plans are magnificent beyond all
comprehension. He molds US, and
turns and directs us, and we know 1t
not Thousands of years are to Him
as the flight of a shuttle. The most ter
rife occurrence does not make Sod
tremble. The most triumphant achieve
ment does not lift Him into rapture.
That one great thought of God goes
out through the centuries, and nations
rise and fall, and eras pass, and the
world changes, but God still keeps the
undivided mastery, linking event to
event and century to century. To
God they are all one event, one his.
tory, one plan, one development, one
system. Great and marvellous are thy
works, Lord God Almighty!

MONTANA'S WEALTH IN COPPER.
Half the Product of the World VIII Bs
Enrnished from NorthMest MOUNTAIN.

Half the Product of the World VIII Bs
Furnished from Northwest Mountains.
The copper industry in Montana is
growing rapidly. Each year witnesses
marked improvement in b method OF
treatment and sees the volume OF ex'
port climb higher and higher. AL
ready the state produces more than
half the copper product of the United
States, and more than one-fourth of the
product of the entire world And the
present outlook points very strongly to
a time, o very distant, when Montana
will produce half the copper of the
globe. A section of this state is soon
to be opened of which very little is
known beyond the fact that it is Inn
mensely rich in minerals. That portion
of the state is enormous in size, more
than equaling the area of Massachu-
sets; it cannot BOAST of a single mile of
railroad. 1t is hemmed in on ell sides
by the Rockies. In this mountainous
country are mines without number.
The road which is to open this Sec
ton of country is the Montana Midland,
"Castle road" 1t is now in curse of
construction, and when completed will
be in the neighborhood of $50 miles
long. The road will eventually con-
meet with the coast. Townsend, a small
station on the Northern Pacific, is about
midway between Helena and Castle,
and it is at this point that connection
will be made with the Northern Pacific
until the entire line is in running order.
Castle is located in the heart of this un-
developed mining district, and is sur
rounded on all sides with mines of all
characters, copper predominating.
Heretofore h copper industry has
been confined almost entirely to tho
Butte district. The stacks of the An
aconda company have refined and
treated fully nine-tenths of the copper
produced by the state. The Castle
road will be the cause of the erection Of
a plant at East Helena that will, in time,
rival the Anaconda plant. When the
road was proposed eastern capitalists
were appraised of the vast amount Of ore
hat would be taken from hat section
of the state. 1t did not take them long
to decide to build shelters to treat the
ores. One New Jersey syndicate has
already purchased 200 acres of land and
has optioned rs more, near East Helena,
upon which it intends to erect a copper
smelter. The Helena and Livingston
Smelling and Refining company,
which has a large smelter at East
Helena, has made arrangements with
the Castle road to furnish it with ore,
and a contract has been let for the erec-
ton of u copper stack, with the nee
essary furnaces.
The copper ores of the Castle dis
trict are exceptionally rich and promise
to equal those of the Butte and Lake Su-
perior districts. Those who claim to be
in a position whereby they can make
the assertion with some degree OF GER
tainty claim that when this new district
is opened and given ample time to prove
its richness Montana will then come
very close to furnishing half the copper
of the entire world.-Helena Cor.
