Today his mills cover several acres

RAT HUNTS IN OHIO.

Opposing Armies Frequently Resort
to Trickery. =
Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says a Bloomingburg
co., correspondent, and it is just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oppos-
ing "armies" of hunters. A rat hunt
has just been concluded here in which
11,455 rat tails were counted, and a
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in $500. tails and the
other 1853 tails. It now leaks out
that one of the leaders Of the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held rat hunt
1,4s6 tails, paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
a cent for 1856 of them, the tails cost
ing more than $12. This enabled. this
crowd to come out victorious. When
the tails were purchased man from
another place was present, but was not
willing to pay so much for the tails.
When the 11,455 tails were counted
out here man was present from
Plain City and offered to give $25 cash
for $500 rat tails, but they were all
burned, and he was not allowed to take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
in many different rat hunts.

LEATHER COATS.
Made of Sheepsl1in, H0rsehIde and
Observation-Disclosures and Warm.

Made of Sheepskin, Horsehide and
observation-disclosures and Warm.
Leather coats are made of sheepskin
of horsehide and of dogskin. They are
lined with corduroy, with flannel, and
with sleeps wool. The corduroy lined
coats are made reversible, so thatsthey
may be worn either side out. The coats
of sheepsl1in are usually finished black,
the horsehide and dogskin coats russell.
colored. A leather coat of sheepskin,
corduroy-lined, costs about five dollars;
horsehide coats sell for SIP to SIS, and
dogskin coats for $18.
Leather coats are worn in the west
by truckmen and policemen and hunt
ers and lumbermen. The leather coat
is serviceable and warm, without great
bulk. The duck shooter lying, per-
haps, for hours in battery, waiting,
keeps warm in leather coat. The
sportsman after big game wears a
leather coat. It keeps the wearer warm
without impeding his movements.
A leather coat is sometimes worn I'M
der another coat for the sake of it's
warmth, as, perhaps, by a policeman.
And the leather coat may be worn with
the corduroy side out, so that more
leather coats are worn here in cities
than might be supposed.

SLEEP, WORK AND LONGEVITY.
Proves That the Idea Of Eight Hours
Rest Ia ErroneOua.

>
Proves That the Idea of Eight Hours
Rest Is Erroneous.
Some of the greatest workers ofsour
day have done with much less than
eight hours Of sleep, says the British
Medical Journal. DIR. James Legge,
professor Of Chinese in the University Of
Oxford, who has just died at the age Of
SO, was, it is said, in the habit of risin G
at three a. m. and allowing himself only
five hours Of sleep. Brunei, the famous
engineer, for a considerable part of his
life worked nearly 20 hours day. Sir
George A. Elliott, afterward Lord
Heathfeld, who was in command
throughout the great siege of Gibraltar,
which lasted four years, never during
all that time slept more than four
bours out of the "a. "As Iget DID," said
Humboldt, IT want more sleep-four
hours at least. When I was young,
two hours Of sleep were quite enough
for me- On Prof. Max Muller limiting
that he found this hard saying, Hum
boldt said: ut is quite mistake,
though it is very widely spread, that we
want seven or eight hours of sleep.
When was your age simply lay down
on the sofa, turned down my lamp, and
after two hours sleep I was as fresh as
ever" He lived to be 80. These ex-
amples are, to use the consecra ted
phrase of the photographers, more for
admiration than for imitation; but
they serve to show that longevity and a
small allowance of sleep are not in all
cases incompatible.

CAPTURED BY ANTS.

etofy or the Strange and Unpleasant
Experience of an English Vessel.
When vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with a cargo of logwood,
everybody on board, from captain down
to cook, rushed .frantically ashore, as
though pursued by some unseen ene-
my. AS a matter of fact, the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes of
hungry Jamaica ants, says a. London
witness. :
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and Owed headlong into the sugar
barrels. After finishing the contents
OF these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, ana
ate everything before them, until it
vas feared that the stock of provisions
on board would run short. There was
cessation from their attacks, when the
vessel was caught in West India hur-
ricane, which flooded the cabin. and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
newed energy. W.. ~
The captain who commands the YES
sci stated thatthere are millions of the
insects still on board, and he Thought
that the cargo must have come from the
vicinity of ant hills for which Jamaica
is noted. He stated that the ants were
in all parts Of the vessel, and, that in all
his experience at sea he had never be-
fore met with an attack like the new
corners waged against him.
