Mice of AuCnIors.

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eraI hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9TH
er prizes. These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge on a chair. They
are we'll bred mice that expected to bo
petted and caressed ana treated as ten
derly as pet cat or dog.
By careful breeding they have de-
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes i'll shape. One very choice
style of animal. called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for spinal
ornament and is very cute miniature
reproduction of porcupine. The IA
miliar white mice so often seen for salo
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead of red ones. 1t has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits, but the society now claims to be
able to furnish mice in l2 or 13 differ
ent shades. To any one who is able to
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time, but when they play around in
suits of chocolate. sable, fawn,f jet
black, tortoise or golden agouti they be-
come perfectly fascinating.
As i'll the case of all fads of this kind,
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep. Fifteen dollars or
$40 is not large price to pay for a
well bred mouse, and some of them
have been sold for as high as $25.

ADAMS ON SUCCESS.

ence listened to an address by Presi-
dent Adams of the university at the
Congregational church Monday even
ing. His subject was Elements Of Sue
cess. Five elements, ne said are nee
essary for success in life-intellect,
character, courage, health and tact.
Paramount to ALL he said, it is neces-
sary that one should have honesty,
He said that society was being honey
combed with dishonesty to a deplor-
able extent He viewed with favor the
remark once made by man that he
would rather kill man than cheat
him. While discussing courage, he re
ferred to the great successes achieved
by the American forces in Cuba and
he could not help but think that the
successes were such that should make
the American people feel proud when
they view the condition of things in
Cuba today and compared them with
that of year and half ago. Mr..
Adams appeared here under the au-
spices of the teachers of the public
schools, as the closing lecture in a

evening in a sensational manner. He

all over the city, has been running
around the street, lassoing everything
that came within his reach. Last
evening Frank was standing in front
or his home on the sidewalk when

heading railroad was proceeding to the
freight yard, The engineer OF the
train, rs Is the custom when going
through the city, was leaning we'll out
OF the siuc of his cab window to sea
II the tracks were clear, when Frank
thought II would be good chance for
him to try his luck with the lasso. He
threw his rope and 1t went quickly to
its mark, encircling tho engineers
head and fastening his arms to the
side OF his body. The end OF tho rope
that young Beaumont had hold OF was
tied IN knot around his waist and he
was Jerked of his feet. This drew the
rope tighter around the engineer and
before he could free himself from the
lasso the lad was drawn under the
wheels of tho train and when the en-
CINE was stopped the boy was literally
