Oor Burden Ilearer.

The little sharp vexations
And the briafs that catch and fret.
Why not take all 10 the Helper
Who has never failed us ret?
Tell Him about the heartache.
And tell Him the longings. too:
Tell Him the baffied purpose
When we scarce know what 70 do.
Then. leaving all our weakness
With the one divinely strong,
Forget that We bore the burden.
And carry away the song.

OF RATS.
win Bits on . Leg 20 Escape from .
Tran.

George Purcell tells the Pittsburg
News some stories about mining coal
that are interesting. Purcell say q
rat, when caught In a trap. will cut on
a limb to escape. He ono day caught
q rat with o blacksmith's plncers. He
had only time to Ak the pincers on the
rats tall, but with sufficient grip to
hold the rat for q time. He intended
taking the rat to a feed-box In the
barn. where It's fighting qualities could
be tested by a TERROR. The rat, hang
Ing by Its tail. turned around to FREQ
itself from the plncers. Finding that
the pincers were harder than Its teeth
1t turned Its attention to Its own tall.
1t cut with It's teeth a ring around the
tail. and then made q jump. The skin
peeled of the tail. leaving the tall
covering In the grip of Purcell and the
pIncers. II Is needless to say that the
rat escaped. Miners believe that rats
leave q falling mine. M. w. Kerrigan
met u horde Of rats one day when he
was entering a mine. He attempted to
kill them with a stick. but as fast as he
knocked one out another took his
place. He was accompanied by a dog.
and the dog was SO badly bitten by the
rats that he sought shelter behind Ker-
rigan. Seeing that the dog was badly
injured by the attack of the rats Ker-
rigan took him outside the mine to
have his injuries attended to. Kerri-
gan then returned to the workings. but
was surprised to find that the entry In
which he had met the rats had fallen
in during his absence.

Tammsny Hall.

"Tammany Ring" was formed In the
city OF New York so far back as 1888
as a great Democratic organization.
Its founder was William Mooney, an
upholsterer residing in the city. The
Tammany anniversary became q popu-
lar holiday. The ideal patrons were
Columbus and Tammany, the latter.
who gives his name to the society, be-
ing a legendary Indian chief, once lord
OF the island OF Manhattan, and now
a kind Of patron saint Of America.
The president rejoices in the title OF
grand sacham." The "Tammany
HalS' Is an Offset more intensely Dem
o%cratic, and represents the Democrat
&c Republican general committee of
5000, who seek to govern New York
and select all candidates for Office.
There are district committees, over
whom is set a captain known as the
local boss" he Is responsible for the
vote OF his district. There are LOO
OF these bosses to correspond with the
LOO districts. AS a rule the bosses
are 'llquor Dealers with a clientele OF
followers whom they swing" The
boss Is paid for his services, and has
money to distribute. It Is always easy
from the reports of these LOO bosses
to say how the vote Of the city will
go in municipal elections.

Tho Petroleum Trade I'm Java.

The figures below show that not
only Is decrease in consumption
of petroleum to be noted, but that
q steady decrease Is taking place In
the importation of oils from the
United States and Russia, while on
the other hand a decided increase
is to be noticed in the output and
use of the local oil.
The result OF shipments of Tiger
Brand" an inferior oil imported to
compete with the local output and
sold at something like IS to .4oc.
below DEVICES, has been so discouf-
aging that the import Of this brand
will cease.
I expect that the decrease in inn
ported oils will be still further &C.
centuated during the coming year.
Numerous boring operations
have been carried on during the
year in search of petroleum, but so
far without much success, the only
local oil brought to market as yet
being that of the Dordrecht Petro-
leum Co. The Royal Netherlands
Co.'s output from their wells in
Langkat, Sumatra, of which a con-
siderable portion finds its way to
Java, the Straits Settlements, etc. i,
considerably increased its output
during the past year, producing S..
500, oco cases, as against 1880, 900
in 1897.
