The Trading Rat.

Of all the curious animals which
man has come across and studied, pro
baby none can compare with kind
of rat found in the Rocky mountains
Though for long time we'll known tc
trappers and lumbermen, it is only
lately that any naturalist has studied
these peculiar little beasts.
Although called rat this little ami
NAL is larger than an ordinary rat,
with a body about eight inches long.
1t is very pretty creature, with soft
gray fur and a squirrel-like tail, easily
tanned and delightful pet. The trap
pers long ago gave it the name of the
" trading rat" from its curious habit
OF never stealing anything without
putting something in its place.
Two young women camping in the
highlands of Wyoming, left the lid Of
their cracker-box off one night. In
the morning all the biscuits were gone,
and the box was filled with an indes-
cribable mixture of chips, scraps of
leather, sticks, bones, dried beans-in
fact, everything movable near at hand.
The trading rat builds very beau
tiful nest, sometimes two feet in
height, and is very clever at storing
food. 1t has a violent fancy for any
thing of bright red hue.

WAS PREPARED TO DIE.


Some time since, says the New York
Telegram, q certain farmer in the mid
die of this state, an eccentric old fel.
low the neighbors said. had vision.
Somebody appeared to him. a spirit,
hobgoblin or what not, and informed
him that he had only q few months to
live. The date fixed was in Novem.
Der.
The farmer took the matter very
seriously, but he had no fears. He
told his friends that he was about to
depart, and began to get ready. He
paid all his debts, which is more than
even death can induce every one to do,
and offered his farm utensils and his
stock for sale. He wanted to clean
things up handsomely, as every hon.
est man should do, and leave no en-
tanglements behind him. Among 9th
er things to be disposed Of were two
cows, but as he wanted to live COM
fortably while he did live he concluded
to hold ON to those cows until the last
moment.
Oddly enough, now that the time Of
his exit is close at hand. he has had an
other vision. A new set Of ghosts or
hobgoblins have appeared to him and
informed him that arrangements have
been made to allow him to stay in this
wicked world little longer. He was
rather relieved at the postponement Of
his funeral, but still felt q degree Of
embarrassment,fo for pretty nearly every.
thing he had, wagons. horses and har-
nesses, rakes, hoes. axes. some cords Of
wood behind the house, had all been
got rid of, and the farm looked a.
though it had just been abandoned.
The old fellow is q bit riled, how.
ever. This vision business" he said
the other day, has cost me dear" and
| he has been heard to use some rather
strong expressions about hobgoblins
in general and this particular hobgob-
lin that seems to have been playing q
practical joke on him.
He is specially glad that he didn't
sell those cows. They are about all he
has left, but they will serve as q nu-
cleus for the things he will have to
buy in order to run the farm. When Q
stranger comes along nowadays and
says he would like to take o peep at
those cows with view to purchase
them. the farmer comes as close to pro-
family rs a country church deacon
ever gets. He thinks the swear words.
but bites his tongue and remarks that
ne hasn't any cows for sale. but is
thinking Of buying a herd and going
into the dairy business.
The moral Of this is that hobgoblina
are very useful creatures in their way;
that when they tell you to pay your
debts you had better follow their ad.
vice. but if they tell you you are going
to die you had better take camomile
tea and send for the doctor At any
rate, don't part with your cowA

Excessive Use of Salt.

The use oil salt as a continent Is 50
general and So universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear Il
word against it, excessive Use, but
there X multitude nj persons who
cat lar too much -alt-eat it on every
thing, on meat. fish, POTATOES, melons.
in butter, on tomatoes, turnipS and
squa>hc>, in bread and on host al
foods too numerous to mention. To
so great an extent is it used that no
food is relishcd which has not salty
taste, and this hides more or less the
real taste, which is often very delicate.
Now, the amount OF salt required IN
tine system is comparatively small, and
il the diet has been rightly COM
pounded very little is necessary.
What are some of the evils of the
excessive use OF salt? The effect is to
paralvze the nerves OF taste or pervert
them 50 they cannot enjoy a thing
which has not Il salty flavor, and III
addition there is direct tax on both
the skin and kidneys in removing it
from the blood. Whether the skin is
harmed by the tax We do not know.
Possibly it is not greatly injured, yet
We know that few people possess a
healthy skin, but it is now pretty we'll
settled that an excessive use OF salt
does overtax the kidneys in its remov-
al and that cases of arrangement and
disease of these organs are due to this
use. We advise our readers and 9TH
crs to look into this matter and try
and diminish the excessive use of this
condiment. We believe they will be
better for it.

on solid observation. 1t is now poin.v,.
out that the Romans and Carthaginians
used the African beast to good purpose,
and Mr.. =. L. Sclater, Of the London
Geological society, declares that they
have had African elephants in their
gardens for more than twenty years
and have found them quite as intelli-
gent as those of the Asiatic species.
although perhaps not quite as docile.
Ayoung male African now about four
teen years of age is daily engaged dur
ing the summer months in carrying the
children and other visitors about the
garden and there has never been an
accident with him. Mr.. Sclater ex-
presses the opinion that the African
elephant should be preserved as the
proper beast of burden to open up the
trade routes in the interior of the Afri-
can continent, and suggests that a
kheddah Of Indian elephants and their
attendants be transported to the east
African coast and that the Indian ele.
plants be set to work to capture and
tame their African brethren. 1t is
noted, moreover, that Gen. Gordon,
just before the fall of Khartoum, wrote
letter in which he strongly advocated
the domestication and use Of the Afri.
can elephant.

Steep!e Clock DiaIs.

Difficulty is experienced in accurate
ly reading the time of elevated clocks
on account OF the distance between
the minute hand and the figures.
Seen from below, the apparent reading
may be a minute or two wrong when
the hand is not at IL or 6 on account
of this distance. The perspective
throws the hand out of position and
gives it an apparent upward position.
On the first quarter this makes the
reading slow, ON the last quarter fast.
A proposed method OF correcting this
is to make the clock face concave so
that the tip of the hand will almost
Craze the figures. Then the time can
be accurately read from below.

which began on January :lSt and
lasted through the first week OF Feb

severity, but came when over much OF
the State the warm weather OF the
last two wrck Ks Of January had melted
the snow from the ground.
The snow had not gon" i'll the

those sections escaped the freezing
that was general over southern Lin
colin, all of Adams, much of Spokane,
most of Whitman, and the western
half OF Walla Walla counties. Kick
itat and Yakima suffered in less meas
ure, while in Lewis and Clarke coun-
ties in the Western Section there was
much injury.
While first accounts were some
what overdrawn, it is undeniable that
in various sections all the way from
three to nine-tenths of the fall and
winter wheat was so badly frozen as to
make Resolving advisable. Some
have preferred to take chances on the
diminished crop rather than resow,
some have resown a part of their
fields, others have resOwn all, or near
ly all. 1t is cheering to report that
the weather has been favorable for re.
sowing, as we'll as for terminating the
resown wheat.
Much spring sowing has also been
done during the favorable weather
since April LIST. In the Western Sec
ton it has been favorable for sowing
oats and planting potatoes on the dry
lands. Grass has grown slowly.
Clover is reported to be doing we'll in
some sections. Some early gardening
has been done, and some early vege-
tables are up.
Pears, plums and prunes are now
coming into bloom, much later than
usual, but for that reason more likely |
to escape frost. In the southeast
counties it appears quite certain that
most of the peach and apricot buds
were killed by the severe winter and
March frosts.

SOME birds, like all children, like to
play, and Australia and New Guinea
produce the "bower bird" which
builds regular playhouses. These
houses are not part of their nests,
but are constructed usually in the
shape of covered archways of little
boughs two or three feet long, Is
inches high and about as wide. They
use these houses simply for their
games, as if they were clubhouses.
Generally these playhouses are decor
ated with bright colored shells and
feathers, just as children decorate
their playhouses.

A FEW of the New York blokes are
already at work suggesting scheme
which will insure the defeat of the
Democratic party in 1900, and also a
scheme to dodge the vital issue, or
rather what should be and will be the
vital and all important question of
the battle in 1900. Messrs. Croker,
Hill, and few other shysters are the
ones who are looking wise and making
these suggestions. They are now adj
vocating that the silver issue be
dropped and that the next national
campaign be made on the antitrust
issue. Beware of these jackals and
hyenas, they are simply the dirty and
disreputable tools of Wall street and
trot in the same harness az such
traitors to party and country as Cleve-
land, Carlisle, Hanna and Most.
Democracy will never win victory
under the directions or suggestions of
this batch of bowels and gall. A
sneaking coward is unworthy a seat in
the councils of the Democratic party,
and those self-appointed leaders in
New York are not only sneaking cow.

LIFE is made up of little things.
He who travels over continent must

book must do it sentence by sentence.
One in a million, once in a lifetime,

tie things that make up our life come
every day and every hour. 1t is some
