One Particulcr In which They 'Take
After" Their Mothers.
A man mover admits no is afraid of rat
or mouse, and when he sees timid wo-
man fee from one of these undesirable ro-
dents to place of safety on top of q piece
of furniture or other handy elevation he
generally assumes an air of superiority,
laughs at her timidity, SCOTS at the idea of
one Of these creatures injuring anybody,
and oftentimes gets Disguised at what he
terms "cowardice."
But the man who insists that he is not
afraid of a rat or even little mouse Is in
reality foolish, and this can be demonstrate
ed should he come In contact with one of
them. You never saw any one who desired
to or could coolly handle even dead rat.
Human beings have a natural dislike for
rats.
One a'tcrnoon big, stalwart man, who
looked as If no might face death without
hinching, was passing along Fourth
street When near the corner of Pearl
street, he emitted screech that was terri.
flying and brought the pedestrians along
the thoroughfare to standstill. The man
was clasping his leg with his hands and
hopping across the street like bucking
broncho. He shouted as If suffering excru
ciating pain, and several persons went tc
his assistance. Tho only thing the matter
with him was a young rat had crawled
up his trousers leg. The rodent was extri
Gated and exterminated. Then the big
"brave'' man mopped the perspiration
from his pale brow and stole shecpishly
away.
The crowd which had gathered laughed
and fell to telling experiences with rats.
"While out hunting with friend some
years ago." said ono man, II saw SINH
lar case. We were crossing wheat stubbl'
when little mouse ran up his trousers
leg. He screamed, and thought he hat
been bitten by RATHER. He dropped hi
gun and ran around In frantic manne
until removed the rodent"
A number of other interesting expert
ences with rats were told, and nearly al
agreed that after what they had heard ant
seen n man is just as much afraid OF ra
as is a wcman.-Sioux City Journal.

TEA DRUNKENNESS.
Interesting Facts That Were Developed III
Brooklyn Dispensary.

Interesting Facts That Were Developed III
Brooklyn Dispensary.
DIR. Jane, W ,od has published In Tho
Quarterly 10 lrnal of Inebriety a report on
observations regarding the bad effects Of
tea drinking. He states that out of 1000
patients applying for treatment at the
Brooklyn Central dispensary 100 exhibited
symptoms pertaining directly to tea
drunkenness, while many others were
doubtless suffering more or less from i5.
The effects of tea, according to DIR. Wood,
differ somewhat according to the Kind
taken, as no finds that the tea of IEN,a
contains ga times as much taEEin as
that OF China. The headache 81 frequent
ly suffered by tea tasters no attributes
TO the essential oil, of which the tea cen,
tains thrce-lourths OF l per cent. Iea
tasters drink the infusion Immediately
after it Is made. Err. Wood notices great
difference In susceptibility TO toa poisoning
He says: "Somc Ioople are profoundly
| intoxicated by indulgine in two cups OF
| strong tea per day. We end that an ouLce
| of tea leaves used daily will soon rroGtcc
| poisonous symptoms. This amount Will
| contain six grains of theme" OF tho 100
cases of tea poisoning mentioned by thG
author go were women and 81 were men.
Fifty -four drank two pints or less, 81 four
pints or less and y ten pints or less.
The following symptoms were present
In nearly all cases of tea intoxication:
Hallucinations, nightmares, successive
dreams, obstinate neuralgia, anxiety, O
persistent sinking sensation In the epigas
trium, prostration and general weakness
excitement and mental depression. 40
cording to DR.. Wood, tea poisoning Is re-
sponsible for half of the headaches, and {
large proportion of all GASES of despond
ency, palpitation of the heart, giddinesi
and allied symptoms. The essential oil o
tea which gives out its peculiar aroma Is
according to DR.. Wood, powerful poison
It's injurious effects are so we'll recognized
by the natives of China that they do no
use tea until it is a year old, thus allow
ing this delete rious substance to escape
Green tea contains moro Of the essentia
oil than black tea, which accounts for tn
fact that 1t Is more productive Of nervous
ness.-Public Health Journal.

THE MEANEsT MAN.
why His Bantam Easily Whipped . Great,
Big Rooster.


"Ths meanest man ever knowed, !" said
. sport yesterday, twas chicken fighter.
Now, amt saying nothing against chick
en- fighting for think 1t is all right, but
mean to say that this man wasn't a
straight chicken fighter. Anything went
with him. All he wanted to do was TO
win. have knowed him to have rooster
that he couldn't get no fight with, because
the rooster would whip any thing, and l
have knowed him to paint that rooster
blue SO as to get up q scrap. Well, the
worst thing he ever did ] shall remember
to my dying day.
"Bill, that was his name, was with lot
of us fellows one day when we were talk
ing about heavyweight gamecock that
had been beating everything In the pit.
ooh, that rooster amt SO warml' said Bill
In a careless fashion. I've got little gam
bantam that will kill him In the first
round. This made the sport who owned
the chicken mad. Ho and Bill got TO gas
sing and passing gags until they made up
q fight. The sort he said he would bet
$500, but Bill be said that $500 was too
small and that he wouldn' go In for moth
ing less than $1,000.
"Ihey fixed up the scrap, and one Sun
day a lot OF us sports met behind an old
| stable. Well, sir, you oughtcr have heard
| them fellows laugh when they seed Bill s
rooster. lie was stumpy little bantam,
| hardly high enough to touch the other
| ROSTERS chin comb unless he jumped We
| laughed and laughed and guyed Bill but
| Bill he didn't say nothing. He was just
| holding his little bantam under the stom-
| ach and rubbing him on the head. Who s
| holding the money! was all that Bill said.
| swell, sir, wasn't member of the So
ciety that tries to stop ROSTERS from being
killed, but did think it a shame to LET
that little rooster 20 up against the big
fellow. Bill and the rich sport first held
the chickens together to let them peck al
each other and get their spunk up, and
then they put them on the ground. The
big rooster looked at the bantam a minute
as If he would fall on him and crush hin
to death. Both of the birds wore those
long gaffs like needles. Well, sir, the big
rooster made pass ond missed, and Their
suddenly we seed bantam dig left handler
in the big birds wing. Nobody though
nothing of that, but when time was called
the big rooster put his head down and JUS
keeled over Bantam stood upon his bod!
and crowed.
swell, Bill took the money, but we go
to thinking that it was mighty funny tina
rooster could be killed so easy, SO WI
looked at him, picked off his feathers ant
found he was turning black. Bill had pu
strong poison on the bantam's gaffs s.
that the least swipe would mean good
by. We tried to find Bill, but he had takel
trip for his health. New Orlean

Not a Society Man.

He was very clever man, but he did
not shine in general society. she was
clever hostess, and she believed that her
guests who would not shine must be made
to shine, and she knew the man very well,
He had come in answer to her invitation
under protest but one must DO agreeable
to ones wife and oblige friend occasion
ally. But it was not as bad as he had
thought it would be- He found congen-
ial spirit almost Immediately and settled
down for good talk. The congenial spirit
was another bright man. The hostess saw
the two together and was shocked. She
flew to them. 1.-The idea, !" she said, "of
you two men wasting yourselves on each
otberl And she took them to opposite
corners of the room, where they would be
more useful to the company ut large. But
there was force Of gravitation which
gradually drew them together again, and
they were soon lost to everything around
them. But again the hostess discovered
them, and again they were separated.
Then the man went to his wife.
81 am not going to stay any longer,
he said. If he had been boy, he would
have said, "I'm mad, and I'm going
home" And he would not have been
treated with more consideration If he had
| been a small boy. His wife was woman
| of tact Every well" she said, II am not
ready to go yet, but you go and don't say
| anything about it and no one will know
| it, And he did go, and no one did know
| It, and the hostess does not know ever
| now that If she had not been such goot
| hostess one of her guests might have on
| joyed himself more thoroughly. = New
