A few days ago at Augusta three rats
were observed carrying long straw to.
wards the river. When they arrived a,
the bank they laid down the straw and
took a long drink; then they proceeded
to take up the straw again in the same
manner as befor, and returned by the
same way they had come. The man who
observed this saw the same proceeding
next day, and shot the rats He dis
covered that thu middle rat was blind

animals kind method of leading their
afflicted oomrads to the water to drink.

this descriptions: "About 80 per cent CT

THE COSTLIEST SPORT IN THE
WORLD.
From Leslie's Weekly.)


To the men Immediately Interested,
international yacht-racing is the oostliest
sport in the world. The bill for the
yachts themselves, for building. altera-
lions and repairs, will amount TO fully
$3.50, 1O0 for each; the expense Of racing
$3.50, coo mora. Here Is y cool million
just fos building and racing the boats.
The sails alone cost as much as an orji-
nary sailing yacht. The Columbia's
sails are said to have cost IS. 600. and the
Shamrook's even moro, fer hers vera
woven to order from Egyption and Sen
Island cotton mixed with silk. The sx-
pense of maint lining the crew was, OF
rather is, enormous. for the boats ara
not Jet out of commission. 1t Is said
that the skipper Of the Columbia receives
s., 100 for his serves. The salary Of the
mate Is one hundred dollars . month. the
second mate forty dollars, the fonr quar-
tfrmasters thirty two dollars a month
each, and the thirty two members OF the
crew each thirty dollars q month. Food
for the crew costs easily 5000 month:
each tender accompanying the yachts
costs 5000 for the few weeks Of the
season, and dockage and tonnage cost
ABOUT Sr.OO more Ior 61cn yAcnt. hstl-
mates of the total cost of the Shamrock
ha Q been placed all the way from $780,
900 to $4,000. Probably Sir Thomas
himself does not know exactly what his
little sport has cost him; there are doubt
less stacks OF bills yet to be presentsd-
such bills rs $40, COO for the charter of four
tenders, and $500 wages for twenty ex-
ira sail makers for three months. Besides
all this. Sir Thomas paid $40, 900 .or his
steam yacht, his sen home. the Erin,
500, goo more in fitting her out, and an
other 500, 0U0 In entertaining guests dur
ing his visit. Inc most impressive feat
urs atort this array Of costs 10 that the
yachts upon which so much has been
spent are useless after the races. The
Columbia, for instance, can race no more.
for there will probably he no yacht 1T to
meet her. and for cruising she would be
a failure. In year or two her delicate
hull all be worth only the metal OF
which it il made.
The money spent by yacht owners in
en- tertaining also reaches far irt1 six
figures. Commodore Morgan entertained
at least ons hundisl guests every race
day; and Howard Gould and John jacob
Astor entertained even a greater number.

patches indicated that Gen. Yule had

close to Ladysmith. Indeed, 1t was 81 ii
repulsed. The Generalization and dis
heartening Of the Beer troops wi ieh 1t

at Glencoe and Elandslaagte have not
occurred. The Beers are apparently no
less brave and tenacious than the Brit

were either untrue or elss the deiicien-
eies have Ieen corrected for the terrible
losses Of British officers testifles to a
deadly aim, and the English officers them
selves in thsir official report now say that
the artillery was fired with great ACCURACY.
England evidently has war ON her
hands alongside of which all the ccnllists
she has waged since the Crimeesn war
are but chiid's play. In the end doubtless
the Beers win be conquered. for England

The latest proposition of Canada rela-
tive to the Alaska boundary appears to bt
merely the r;nswal of an old ons, which
had air eady been refused by our govern
ment. The position which we have al
ways held is that Canada owns nothing
and can own othiny on the Lynn canal.
Pyramid Harbor Is on that canal. To
consent to arbltrate with the reservation
that Cansda's claim to own rship OF
Pyramid Harbor shall be con ,eded would
be to abandon one of our main ccnssn-
tions. Unless Canada has something
fairer than this to offer the temporary ar
rangemt n recently made will continue
indefinitely, for it Is not likely that
England, while she has the war IN South
Africa on her hands, will insist on re-
