Story of a Ring and a Sinner.

The daughter of wealthy resident
OF the bill section presented young
woman friend with pair of dainty
slippers, and in the toe of one of them
she placed valuable ring, set with an
opal and two diamonds. The present
went to the destination, but the slippers
did not fit, and the recipient Of the gift
did not discover the ring. She sent the
slippers back to the store, and they were
placed on the shelves with the thou
sands OF other similar boxes.
On Monday the floorwalker in the
shoe department received a severe shock
when young woman rushed into the
place and rambled off lot Of talk about
missing jewels After some difficulty he
managed to get the facts of her story to-
gether, and then every one of the EN-.
ployees was ordered to begin search
for the slippers. In two hours they were
found, and the ring was just where it
had been placed. Brooklyn Eagle.

Too Personal.

One of the women's patriotic socie.
ties held an open meeting in Washing
ton recently, and the members were
called upon to respond to various senti-
ments Of patriotic character. The
woman who had the affair in charge
notified each member of the toast she
would be expected to respond to ten
days or so before the meeting. To one
young woman whom, as it happened,
she did not know personally at all she
sent the toast "Our Fag." The young
woman received it, and at once went to
call on the head of the society in state
of great distress. She simply could not
respond to the toast, she said. She didn' {
know whether joke was intended, but
she had been chaffed numerically about
it already and just simply wouldn't go
near the meeting if she were to no o."
ed on TO speak on that subject.
why, what on earth is wrong with
that sentiment" asked the head of the
society.

She blushed.

HELPS THE PLUMBER.
The House Rat Eats Quantities Of Lead
Pipe and Creates sewer Gas.

The House Rat Eats Quantities Of Lead
Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.
One Of the most persistent and de-
structive assistants the plumber has is
the house rat A rat can eat out plumb
ing as fast as an average honest man
can pay for it, To a rat a greasy lead
pipe is toothsome moroccan. When a
hungry rat forsakes the barn and finds
his way into the cellar of a house and
thence up through the walls to the
space between the floors. the first thing
he tackles is the grease ON the outside
OF lead waste pipe. II he finds other
food shortly thereafter. he spares the
pipe, otherwise he eats the pipe and the
water escapes through to the ceiling
below and ruins the plaster. The plumb
er is sent for and repairs the leak, but
he doesn't tell what caused it.
Once upon time q rat was "hoist
by his own petard," so to speak. He
got into house and found his way to
lead pipe, ON which he tried his teeth.
1t was pleasant chewing and put fine
edge on his teeth, SO he continued Soon
he mad eaten a large hole in the pipe
and stream of scalding water poured
forth. Before he could escape be had
been scalded to death, to say nothing of
being drowned. But he had the satisfac-
tion OF knowing that he had ruined
fine ceiling and that the carpet under
meath 1T had been soaked full of lime
water. There is no great loss without
some small gain.
just TO show what they could do,
some rats once ate so feet of lead pipe
under bathroom and over the kitchen
of big hotel in this city. The floor of
the bathroom was marble and under it
was fireproof floor made of iron beams
and hollow tiles. The pipes were laid
in the space between the floor and the
girders. Rats were attracted thereto by
the odors from the kitchen. They me:
the lead pipes. When their appetites
were satisfied, the space was filled with
lead dust.
Rats like to eat drain pipes from
kitchen sinks because they are lined
with grease. The only way to keep
them away is to pack the pipes with
mineral wool. Mineral wool is a sub. |
stahOo maui VI luTudC6 Stag through
which a jet of air has been forced while |
1t cooled. The mineral wool gets into |
the eyes OF the rats and drives them |
away. Modern plumber discourage rats |
by laying iron instead of lead pipes
Rats, strange to say, are great breed |
ers of sewer gas. They gather up bones |
and scraps of meat about the kitchen |
yard and carry them up into the rafters
between floors and ceilings The pres
ence of this plumber is sooner or later
discovered by the odor, and the plumber
is sent for to discover whence the sewer
gas comes. 1t is not always we'll to tell
the housekeeper the truth.
Thus it is the humble brown house
rat helps his friend the plumber earn
an honest livelihood, and the plumber
thanks him in his own gentle way

Live Fish of Great Age.

In reply to a question. Professor Baird
devoted great deal of time to the ques-

there are now living In the Royal aguari-

to be over 800 years old; that he had ascer-
tanned In q number of cases that whales
live to be over 300 years old. A gentleman

New York, April 21.-The British
steamship Virginia, which took or ron
San Juan, Porto Rico, PhlInp Hanna
United States consul, and his Mile anu
seven other Americans and transferred
them TO a schooner, which landed them
at St Thomas, arrived in port yester-
day. The vessel was placed at the Gov
ernments disposal by Messrs. Miller,
Bull q knowlton, her agents in this
city.
The Americans left San Juan on April
g. The Virginia reached Fajardo, Porto
Rico, early the next morning. A Span
ish schooner was chartered there to
carry the passengers to ST. Thomas, and
the Virginia towed ner for half the dis
tance The officers of the steamship
learned that the clerk of the American
consulate at Mayageuz, Porto Rico,
whose name is Drake, was still on the
island.
From the officers OF the Virginia il
was learned that several riots had oc-
CURED between Spaniards and natives
since the recent election on the island.
Several Span.ards had been depOsed
from office and their places taken by
natives OF Porto Rico. Much bitter
feeling was engendered in consequence.
plot against the neWly-elected chief
OF police of san Juan, a native, was
frustrated a few nights before the Nir-
ginia reached the Porto Rican capital
on April s. He was expected from the
interior carly in the evening, and a
demonstration had been planned in his
honor.
A band of Spaniards had arranged for
a general fight, and during its height;
1he chief Of police was to fall victim.
The official was warned of the plot and
deferred his trip until early the next
morning, when the streets were empty.
The American consular agent al May
aEueN told the officers of the Virginia
that hundreds Of natives were dying
from starvation in the interior Of the
island. Since war between this coun-
Try and Spain became imminent the au-
thorities have imposed an additional
tax on provisions, 10 increase the rev
tivos were unable TO buy even the necs-
saries Of life. Rice was selling at 10
rents pound and fish costs 10 cents
pound. These foods form the staples
uf the Porto B'Cans.
Natives of the island are American
in spirit. many Of them faVoring an
neNation. They resent the idea that
they are Spaniards. If they were given
the opportunity the Virginia purser
said. they could establish a govern
ment Of their own which would be
much more progressive and prosper
Ous than the present rule Of the island.
In anticipation Of an attack on san
Juan by American warships. the Span
ish authorities have thoroughly mined
the barbor The only fortifications in
Porto Rico are at san Juan. and these
could be demolished with three shells
the pUrser believed. Troops were being
sent to various parts Of Porto Rico
while the Virginia was there. These
were not Tor the purpos of guarding
against invasion. but for queling the
frequent outbreaks among the natives.

Col. Hays reply was the event of the
