The Rats Pound,

There is in the city of Paris a regular pound, surrounded by massive stone wall, wherein the services of rats are utilized for clearing the bones of dead animals from flesh. A horse thrown in overnight is quite stripped by morning, and it is the regular work of the man in charge to remove the beautifully pol ished skeleton. Of course the rats thus pampered increase at terrible rate and invade the neighboring slaughter houses. So it becomes necessary at times to have a regular battue. This is rather clever ly managed. All around the walls of the pound hundreds of little holes have been bored, the depth of each being just that of a rats body. Early in the morn ing, while the rats are still enjoying their meal, a couple of men with lan- terms jump suddenly in with great noise and chatter. The terrified creatures rush for the nearest refuge, and the walls are soon ornamented with regu- lar forest of tails whisking about like animated black icicles. Then arrives the rat collector, who with skillful hand seizes each pendent tail and deposits the astonished owner thereof in a bag which he carries slung over his shoulder. The skins are largely used for making gloves. New York World.

The prom inemt feature of lthe exercises in the opera house was a lengthy speech by Senator H. D. McEnery explaining his tariff pc. Hition.

 The democrats who opposed the tariff bill in congress were mostly all in favor of protection for some local interests and hhsrc were other interests besides local pnes which divided the democratic mem- lbers.

Court Preaentationa.

Here is one Of the posers which I oc. casionally find in my letter box, says London Truth: Ss4if
 Some young married ladies-quite loyal to the queen-beg Truth to tell them what is the good of being present. ed. Two of them have been leased to 60 through this ceremony"
 Personally do not know what return is to be gained by the process at all commensurate with the expense in- volved. As, however, young married lady's point of view may possibly be different from mine, have sought fur ther information among my feminine acquaintances. As far as I can mako out from the information I have ob- tained, the chief advantage of being pre- sented is that 1t enables a young lady, married or otherwise, to make her hus. band or father, as the case may be. pay for a magnificent frock, which she would hardly be able to get out of him under any other circumstances It also enables her to be photographed in this frock and become an object of envy and admiration to her less fortunate female aoquaintances. Of course the frock, aft CT it has served its original purpose, will, in the hands of judicious owner, come in useful on many subsequent oc- casions l must leave my correspondents to decide for themselves whether the possession of such frock is worth the worry and anxiety incidental to being presented or whether it is better to stay away and submit to further teasing.

OUR GIRLS AND BRlTONS.
Why American Maidens Are Tempted tt

Why American Maidens Are Tempted to a Wed stolid Englishnen.
 Why does the American girl marry the Briton? Has she any adequate jus tifioation? Do you suppose it pays her, and can such a choice on her part be defended on large grounds as promotive of the greatest good of the greatest number? Is it fact, as has been flip pantly suggested, that she moves to England to get country life because we have no good roads here yet, or, on the contrary, can it be demonstrated that one reason our country roads are so bad is that the American girl cannot abide the country and promptly carries her man off to town at the earliest moment that sees his endeavors blessed with the necessary. ineoma2 Is. it her fault that country interests tend too much to fall to the care of residuum that is too poor to get away, or has the coun- try life not much to do.one way or the other with her British propensities?
 To be honest, there are other con- ceivable reasons for marrying an Eng fish gentleman besides his country roads He may be charming gentle man-they are said to be so once in awhile-who can win wife by plain, personal courtship, and whom any wom- an would be justified ill marrying on general principles and without specific excuses, or he may be good ''aver- age" sort of man whose advantage hx,nr 1t kkA- s,s. akk kn, of size or complexion or hale appear ance. have known American women who ventured to assert that the femi- nine eye rejoiced more in the type of male human that treads the pavements of Piocadilly and Pail Mall than in the contemporaneou pedestrians of Fifth avenue and Broadway.
 Or maybe it is his superior stolidity that elsctrifies in the Briton. It is to be feared that there is truth in that tale MT. Kipling or somebody was telling of how phlegmatic merchants of the east had discovered that the way to beat the American was simply to put him off and let him fret himself reok less. Stolidity is not quite the same
 repose, but to persons who are sufferi
 from an acute dearth of repose it m
 appeal as a tolerable substitute, so tn one can imagine an American maid, worn with the restless aspirations of her high pressure countrymen, turning with sincere relief to pillow her fair young head upon bosom behind which lurked no threat of heart failure.- North American Review.
