From the Atlanta Constitution
A'Scene Of fun and excitement was Wit
messed this morning about 7:3O o'clock on
Whitehall street, south of Alabama street
in front of one of the largest dry goods
stores In the city.
A crowd of youngsters had, though the
hour was early. been busily rat hunting
among the debris Of rags and paper which
mad been cast out of the stores, and the
fruits of the chase We're being tied by their
tails and fed to terriers, which were much
in evidence.
One of the boys, in swinging a rat about
by string. inadvertently let go his hold
and the string became wrapped about the
trolley wire. leaving Mr.. Rat suspended be-
tween heaven and earth. As he swung
there he made repeated and desperate eff
forts to free himself by twisting about and
endeavoring to gnaw the string. but all to
10 purpose. The crowd stood and watched
the strange scene with interest while many
efforts were being made to free the rodent
from his unpleasant position.
A negro came out of the store with a
broom, and. after many 'swipes'' at the
animal, gave it up for bad job. Then
another negro appeared upon the scene
armed with blacksnake whip, which he
piled with grace and skill, the reports
sounding on the morning air like those of
a pistol The rat was struck repeatedly by
the cruel lash, but still the string held
Presently the trolley car came along, and
to the establishment and delight of the
crowd, which by this time had assumed
large proportions. the trolley picked up the
string and carried away the rat. dangling
this time not from the wire, but from a
trolley pole. The shout that went up from
the delighted "rubber-necks'' at this
strange sight was great indeed. but it was
feeble to the roar which arose as the troll
ley pole passed supporting cross WIRE
broke the string and flung his ratship fully
twenty feet high in the air. A rush was
made for him as he descended. and soon
he was deprived of what little life he may
have had left after his novel and thrilling
experience.
All rats may look alike but that certain

on Whitehall street as he took his frst and
last ride on a trolley car.

HOW TO buy MEAT.
Scientific Tips ON What Part OF the
Beef Animal to Choose.


Beef Animal to Choose.
From the New York Tribune.
Slowly but surely rapid transportation

moving food from one part OF the world
where 1t Is plentiful to another part here
It is scarce are solving the food question
Of the earth. 1t Is not difi1cult for the
poorest people in the land to get abundant
material for nourishment. The chief OBJ
stacle in the way Of Wholesome living lies
in the ignorance OF the individuals who
purchase and prepare the food.
The old proverb that God sends the food
and the devil sends the cook is true to-
day as 1t ever was. As o rule, our poorest
people are well acquainted with all the best
and choicest cuts Of meat, but know little
about preparing savory stew or a rich
vegetable broth from the less expensive
but equally wholesome joints and cuts. The
expensive tenderloin, SO highly esteemed by
the French because of its tenderness, is a

choicest steer beef. 1t lies inside the ami
NAL. and the blood does not flow through it
as freely as 1t does through the round or
upper part of the leg and through the chuck

The cysticerci OF taenia are found in the
liver and in the tenderloin and tender in

and poor people in our cities are apt to buy

resolution was passed requesting the re-

heartrending. The authorities, Il appears
have native soldiers in their service, and
these native soldiers make war on the
