A March of Rats

After the old fish market was oe-
molished there remained in the neleh-
Dor hood an old mark of almost equal
size and unsightnness. This was the
large two-story building occupied by
Japanese as lodgings ana living es-
adjustment. 1t was built many years
ago and was for long time com
bination boat building establishment
and sail loft. 1t has been taVorlte
Mace for Japanese, being handy for
them on leaving quarantine. The ole
Mace was infested with rats. A num-
her were seen when the carpenters
were at work tearing down. The granC
march of rats was when water IRON
the dredger reached the building. Inc
rodents left in troops.

NATIVE DEAF MUTE.
Peculiar Situation When Arraign-
81 in Court.

! al in Court.
Yesterday morning a Chinaman ar
rived at the police station with a ma
tive bow aged about "A years, in his
charge The boy was found to be deaf
and dumb. He complained that the
how had thrown a rock at him which
Istruck him in the head. The case came
ND in the Police Court almost immedi-
ateIy after the arrival of the China
man and his charge. The boy plead not
guilty. His mother who had been sum-
moned made signs to her son and then
explained to the Court that the China
man had thrown water on the boy who
had become Infatuated and tried to get
even. The boy was discharged.
At the conclusion of the case many
questions were asked back and forth
by the people who had been present at
the trial. What if the native boy had
! been arrested on the charge of muir
der and. by circumstantiaI evidence,
had been found guilty? Would he ne
! cessariIy hang? The deaf and dumb
people among the natives are not edu-
Gated like the people of the same
stamp in the United States and can.
only speak by signs which are under
stood only by people who have been
with them from infancy. Not being
able to offer one word in defense ex-
cept perhaps a shake of the head,
would such a person be condemned to
the gallows? The law on the matter
as found in Article of the Constitu-
ton (Rfght of TriaD, reads as follows:
Section 2. Except in case of i'm
parchment or offenses within the juris-
diction of the District Magistrate, or
in summary proceedings for contempt,
no person shall be held to answer for
any 'offense except upon indictment,
information of complaint, describing
such offense; and he shall in all cases
have the right to meet the witnesses
who are produced against him, face to
face; to produce witnesses and proofs
in his own favor; and by himself or
his counsel, at his election, to examine
the witnesses produced by himself and
cross examine those produced against
him, and to be heard in his own de-
Tense"
The question is, where does the deaf
and dumb native come in?"

Animals, Fright Ia shnrt.

A question that has often been asked is, How long does fright last in q wild creature? The close observer will be surprised at its brief duration. They are not subject to nerves like human beings. A partridge after running Cor rather flying the gantlet of half dozen guns-if we may be allowed mixed metaphor-drops on the other side of a hedge and begins calmly to peck as if nothing had happened You would think rabbit after hearing charge of shot whistling about it's launches and just managing to escape from yelp- ing spaniel would keep indoors for a week, but out it pops quite merrily as soon as the coast is clear. A fox pur- sued by hounds has been known to halt and kill fowl in its flight, though we may assume that his enemies were not close to Reynard at the time We have been led into thinking about the matter by noting what took place at cover after being shot over. .-Pall Mall Ga Eette.

 You mean the one that begins: "Through tho turgid depths we plod and blow And chamber on, we know not how, To find tho goals that promised rest But weary starting points at best"

 'No indeed. You ought to do more things like that. You ought to write in moro dignified measure and be pro. found, you know. I like that so much better than these little things that sound as if they were done offhand. Yet I know there must be a great temptation to do that kind of work"

TIGER AND BULL.
A Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
 Badly Beaten.

A Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
 Badly Beaten.
 Tho Paris letter of the London Post gives details of an extraordinary enter tainment given at the Plaza de Madrid in the presence of 1, 300 spectators. This was q combat between G royal Bengal tiger and an Andalusian fighting bull. The tiger, Cesar, was full grown brute belonging to Spessardi, tho train CT, who had never been able to do any thing with it and had, indeed, once nearly fallen victim to it's ferooity. He sold it for 6, 900 francs to tho director of the plaza.
 A cage IF yards square by in height had been erected in the middle of tho arena, and the animals were brought on in vans, the bull being the first to be released into the inelosure. The brute immediately began to run round and round his prison, believing and throw ing up sand and gravel with his hoofs.
 The instant the tiger entered tho cage he gave roar and Eounded on the bull, avoiding the horns, and fixed on his Hanks and belly with both teeth and claws. The bull remained still for a few seconds, and then seemed to be sink ing backward to the ground. The spec tators thought that all was over, but the tiger let go for a second to take an- other hold, and in the brief interval was kicked over by tho wild plunges of the bull. Before the tiger had time to recover the bull was on him, and, sink ing his horns into the striped hide, it tossed the tiger into the air. This was repeated four or five times, tho bull varying his tactics occasionally by bang ing his adveriary against the bars. When the bull stopped, the tiger lay limp on the ground, and the crowd, thinking he was dead, cried, Bravo, toroF'
 The bull stood stamping for mo- ment in the middle of the cage, and then, seeing tho tiger did not move, ap- proaohed and smelled him. But Cesar was only shamming death and seized the bulls muzzle i'll his powerful jaws so the animal could not move Eventu- ally, however, he was released, and aft- CT stamping furiously on the tiger again caught him on his horns. This time the tossing, stamping and banging appar- ently really ended in Cesar's death. The cage was then opened, and the bull rushed out and back to his stable For precaution's sake the tigers van was brought up, and, to the general sur prise, Cesar rose to his feet, glanced round as if afraid the bull was still there, and then bounded into the van. The tiger was found to have five ribs broken. besides having a number of wounds from the bulls horns. It is said that all wild animals-bears, lions. partners and tigers-fare badly in com bat with the Spanish fighting bull. Man and the elephant are the only sure victors over these active and ferocious hpaStG

 Of course every ono knows that 2ge drink good deal that isn't tea whaa go drink q cup of tea. We drink-or gre supposed to drink--some tea, somae lead and some straw. But there are soy- eral "teas" that the drinkers know are not made of tea leaves and yet arc not adulterated.
 h Peru they drink mate tea made from tho Hex paraguensis, species of holly. This is the only mate tea, but there is Brazilian tea, gorgonha, call cd mato there; another tea used i'll Aus tria, called Brazilian tea, and several other so called mate teas arc made from different varieties of tho ilex. In Lab rador they mako a tea from two species of ledum. Oswego tea was made from the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria procumbens. Then clover tea and tansy tea. and catnip tea and mint tea are used though not as beverages.
 In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to make tea out of, and tho beverage is said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum fragrans, arc used. Tho Tonquinese have teas of their own, made of leaves, berries, barhs and woods The Abys- sinians make tea out of tho leaves of the Catha edulis. When sentinel can t leave his post to got cup of tea, he can chew leaf or two of this plant. and he won't feel like going to sleep all night In Tasmania there are sad to be more than 200 substitutes for tea; in England they used to make tea or sage, betony or rosemary and of rasp- berry leaves; in France they use black currant leaves and borago to mako tea, and century or so ago they gathered in English gardens and fields ash, elder
