The Nr1ssionary's Little Joker.

native Maori ehieftain, the des- cendant of eannibal kings, is now com pleting his medical education in Chi cago. Cannibalism ended in his tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn converted his grandfather; but he tells some stories of it which have distinctly humorous flavor. For instance: It is said that once chief captured mis- sionary who was anything but tooth some morsel, as he was old and thin, and looked as if his flesh would be tough. The missionary warned the chief that he would not make a good dinner, and pulling Up his trousers, cut slice off the calf of his leg and offered it to the chief The chief tast- ed it, said he didn't like it, and passed it to a subchief. The sub tasted it. made wry face, and passed it on The next man who took bite of it spat it ont. The missionary was re- leased. After he had gone it was dis covered that he wore cork leg.

TO STOP BLEEDING.
Electricity Now Declared to Be thu
 Best Relief.

ssost h6iieIs
 The arresting of bleeding in surgical operations has always been one of tho difficulties in certain cases. and the electric current has been used before this with view to bringing about that. condition of heat which is necessary in order to cause the blood to c1ot and 80 act as block to the mouth of bleeding vessels arresting hemorrhage. This. indeed, has resulted i'll the utilization of the electric cautery, as it is called ia certain operations, the platinum wlre at red or almost white heat even sup. planting the knife, because it burns through the tissues and at the same time prevents the wound bleeding to any great extent. This effect of heat was, indeed, known to our ancestors, who used red hot irons or boiling pitch, to scar the surface of the flesh after their operations, thus causing an im~ mense amount of suffering to the pa tent before the days of chloroform A new adaptation of this use of elee- tricity, for the purpose of stopping bleeding has been devised by inclosing platinum Wire III pair or IOrcepS 0f other instrument, the wire being insu- lated ill bed of burnt pipe clay, and as soon as the bleeding vessel is seiz- ed by the foreeps and compressed iu the ordinary way, an electric current Is turned on, whose effect is so great that the tissues and the walls of the blood vessels are all agglutinated, 80 that the blood is no longer able t3 pass.

Copenhagen's War Against Rats.

So great a nuisance have the rats recently become in Copenhagen that efforts are being made to exterminata them. In order to encourage the new occupation of rat hunting for profit and pleasure combined, a premium Of 10 ore per rat is being paid for every, one of the rodents produced whole but dead. For the past three weeks war against the rats has been waged. Iu the first week 6,094 were officially re- corded as killed; the number grew to 6,616 in the second week, and for tho last week it had swelled to 6,780. It is hoped to reach weeks mortality among the rats of 10000 in two or three weeks unless the supply becomes exhausted in the meantime. It is pro posed to extend the rat-catching op- eration to the whole country. Tha crusade has become of national i'm terest.

RATS LEVIED BLACKMAIL.
They Were Fed to Let Certain Eat
 ables Alone.

ables Alone.
 Rats have always levied toll in some way on the human race. Blaekmail cheerfully paid to rats is, however, new to history and tribute to their great abilities, says the Chicago News. They had established them selves under meat market and, ac cording to the owner, "the way they used to pick and choose was dreadful" When two carcasses of mutton were available they would eat the prime and leave the poorer. The best was hardly good enough for them, and they were cunning even beyond the cun- ming of market rats. So the owner re- solved to make a treaty and pay black mail, relying on the economic wisdom of rats. He gave them three square meals a day, with plenty of variety, in hope that the rats would be ap- peased and not eat mutton at night, too. The menu was bread, fancy bis cult, potatoes and sugar, and was laid near the rats front door At first they used to come up furtiyely and carry the food off to their holes. But now they come out regularly in the shop, eating their luncheon on equal terms with their hosts. Their leader is an old grizzled rat, who has lost an ear. He has become the medium between the high contracting parties and sets an example to his own side by eating bread and biscuits out of the shop mems fingers. The rats now behave exactly like other tribes when in re- ceipt of blackmail, in that they drive off all intruders. "The other day" said one of the shopmen, "a strange rat got in among 'em and you should have seen 'em chase him out. They ran him out the shop, in front of all of us. and I believe if he'd "a stayed they'd have killed him."

\ Costly Drought.

The drought of the last few years has cost New South Wales an enorm- ous sum of money The flocks of the colony have shrunk from 66,0oo,o00 to 46.000, ,000. representing loss of 20. 000,000 sheep. If to this is added the loss of the natural increase, the shrink age amounts to 50,000 900 sheep; enough, that is, to equip considers ablesized colony In addition there has been loss of nearly 300,000 horses and 150000 cattle. That the colony has been able to survive these terrific losses is striking proof of energy and resource. Translated into money the colony has suffered a loss due to inad eqpate rainfall of from $60,000,000 to s10O,000, 900.
