STARTLING RAT STORY.
4 London District Poet Oaes CB0ssA aAd Houses OveRrun by
 the Rodents.

About 6 year ago an important dis trict post office in London was closed. It had been opened for stamps, money orders, post office orders and telegramS till midnight, and it was in the center of thickly-populated district. One day the doors were shut and s card af- fixed, stating that it was closed for re- pairs. Weeks passed and 1t was not re- opened. The postmaster general re- ceived complaints by the score. But the weeks became months, and still the doors remained closed. And the peo- pie around wondered why
 The truth is at last out, and some of the families residing near know it to their cost. The post office in queE- tion had to be closed because it had become the happy hunting ground of vast hordes of rats, who consumed let ters by the bagful. and many postal or ders, money order forms and other of icial papers. The rats forced the post office to be closed, and after numerous attempts to rid the place of the rodents. it was found possible to do so only by putting down entirely new cement foundations and entirely retimbering the place. AS nearly ns possible the post office had, but for its mere shell, to be rebuilt. That done. the troubles of the immediate neighborhood became accentuated. Driven from the post of flee the rats have journeyed to the sur rounding houses, which are now in- Tested with them.
 The correspondent from whom the above information comes has had sev. eral cats in his place, and they have done something to keep things down; but, 10 use his words, ito go home Is to find the wife and the maids with fly ing petticoats rushing up the stairs, servants won't stay in the house except for a very short time, mats and pictures, some Of the latter several feet up the walls, have been consumed, my wife is terror-stricken, and when l reach home at night often find her locked, half starved, in an upper room afraid to move about and too nervous even to go near where the food is kept until come in." The informant states that his experience is similar to that of many residing near him" m."-London News.

The papers of the territory men, ton the fact that n majority of in. stances where Arbor Day was ob. served, unfortunately, tho planting of trees was omitted.
 In some cases at least this sin of omission cannot be charged up to teachers and pupils, who would be moro than wiling to do their "level best" to help beautity the school grounds if some one before them had thought to better purpose on the subject and had net located the buildings on ground that can not be irrigated.

LOSSES OF A YEAR.
Many Vessels Went Down During
 the Last Twelve Months
How the Merchant Marine of Differ ent Nations Has Suffered from the Various Gas.
 ualtfea.

The losses at sea sustained by the merchant marine of the world in the past year are set forth in report pre- pared by the British government. copies of which have been received here. Great Britain, with over 12,000,0o0 tons afioat, has the lowest percentage of losses. Startling figures arc presented as to the number of steamers and saii- ing craft reported missing" and re- garded now by the underwriters and insurance people as lost. No less than 24 steamers sailed out of various ports last year and have never been heard from, and 79 sailing vessels cleared and never reached their destination, both classes representing total tonnage Ot 72,773.
 In addition e6 ships, of which S5 were sailing craft, had to be abandoned at sea.
 As 8 result Of all the losses, the gross reduction in the mercantile marine of the world is shown to be 1,141 vessels of s2O,725 tons, excluding vessels of less than lGo tons. This represents the ton mage of vessels which have been lost at sea as we'll as others which have met peaceful end by being broken up" or condemned. The latter usually ag- gregate about one-ffth of the total. The average of loss exceeds the average of the preceding seven years by 25 yes sells of 106,706 tonz.
 Great Britain's rate of loss is 2.23 per cent, the next one on the list being Germany, with 2.33 per cent. Germany and the United States are now making 'neck-and-neck" race as regards the total number of vessels owned, the lat ter having 2,44S,677 tons and the for mer 2,113,9S1 tons. Austria-Hungary is third in point of rate of loss, with 3.15 per cent, and then comes Russia, with 3.e3 per cent, and the United States, with ALA per cent. The other nations are in the following order: Italy, 4.34 per cent; France, 4.4S; Holland, 4.62; Spain, 5.01; Norway, 5.S5, and Sweden, 5.66.
 The figures for Norway and Sweden are regarded as too high, especially as the rate for sailing ships is 7.5S and s.65 per cent, respectively. This is partly explained by the great number of ships broken up or condemned, but there can be no doubt that the larger rate is also due to the violent end of many ships by wrecks. The figures seem to give sup port to the view that the British gov ernment should insist upon more sea- worthy conditions for ships flying the Norwegian flag when leaving British ports.
 Of the total number of vessels lost in the year-l,141, of s2G,725 tOns-322, of l65,241 tons, were steamers, while s19 vessels of 357,4s4 tons, were sailing craft. Wrecks account for the loss of 524 vessels, of 356,503 tens, 367 sailing ships and 137 steamers meeting their end while buffeting against some inhos- pitable shore. They thus equal nearly one-half of the total. Ninety vessels, of 23,2o4 tons, were lost in collision, <s being steamers and 42 sailing vessels, but the average size of the former was double that of the latter. Einety-six vessels. of 2,752 tons, including s5 sail ing ships, had to be abandoned st sea. baltimore Sun.

FAMOUS PEOPLES EYES

The duke of Wellington had, it is said, blue hawks eyes gleaming with military genius.
 Audubon, as became naturalist, had 'hawklike eyes that flashed like 8 searchlight and were ever on the alert for each movement of animated na- ture."
 Charles Lamb is described as having glittering eyes, strangely dissimilar in color, one being hazel, the other having specks of gray in the iris. as you see red spots in the bloodstone.
 According to Trelawney no man had brighter eyes than Byron; they were gray and fringed with long black lashes. Lady Blessington, writing of him few months before his departure to Greece, adds that one eye was visibly larger than the other.
 The most striking feature of Burns was his large dark eye. It was, we are told by one writer, full of mind and literally glowed when he spoke with emotion or interest" Sir W. Scott, who knew the poet when he lived in Edinburgh, says: "I never saw such an- other eye in human head, and have seen the most distinguished meR of my time."
 Eyes, as we know, are apt to vary considerably in shades of color in the same individual from time to time-s fact that explains why Wordsworth's familiar description of Coleridge as noticeable man with large gray eyes does not quite agree with Carlyle's im- pression that his eyes were of light hazel, nor this again with the writer who found them light gray, prominent and of liquid brillliancy, as though the orb itself retreated to the innermost recesses of the brain."
 Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were his most remarkable feature. Under strong excitement one appeared bright CT, and, as in the case of Byron, larger than the other. Calcott says: 'It was like the eye of hawk. and one could see his soul through it." Barrett never saw such eyes, fire rolling at the bot tom of them" and he confesses that he often purposely differed in opinion from Chatterton to see how wonderfully his eye would strike fire, kindle and blaze nn.
