ems I'm the same Manner as His
Wild Brother.

The white rat in comparison with
his wild congener is somewhat less
vigorous and hardy Especially does
not endure cold or hunger so WELD
and has sloughed off some OF the
timidity and suspiciousness Of the
wild rat; on the other hand. his

are as keen. his characteristic rat
traits are as persistent. and his men
tai adap;ability is as considerable.
In view Of the many generations Of
luxurious idleness Of the white rat.
writes w. 5. Small. in the American
Journal OF Psychology, this profound
and enduring nature of specific
psychic traits is striking. A per-
tinent illustration was furnished by
young rat that escaped from his
cage and was loose about the labora-
tory for several days. He had just
been weaned when the accident oc-
CURED. Food was rather scarce and
he got hungry. Finally one morning
he found his way into the chicken
pen. and in less than two minutes
had killed two chickens. and was |
upon a third when discovered. The |
chickens were three times as large as
himself. The killing was done by bit
ing through the throat Of the victim.
and was as neatly and deity exc
cuted as IL the executioner were an
old hand. The Importance of this IL
lustration lies in the fact that this is
exactly the method Of killing EN-
ployed by rats. The only possible
preparation in his experience this
nyamy could have had for such seri-
,us business must have been in play
With his fellows. That at best, was
n slight Importance, as he had
reached the playing age but few

Identification by EyebaIl..

II has been suggested that tn,
markings on eyeballs are a goot
means of Identification. Some of then
are prominent, especially ON the up,
per half of the eye-that is. bshinc
the top lid. Their course is generally
zigzag, branching OFF at sharp angles
similar to the lines seen in pictures
Of lightning. No two eyes are to be
found in which the markings are iden-
teal; hence the means of distinguish
ing one person from another. After
carefully registering the markings on
certain eyes, some of which are Illus
trated, il is found that such mark
ings are not. as might have been sup
posed, subject to any radical change.
Now it is obvious that, by the aid of
photography and various other
means, we may make such copies Of
a persons eyes as would prove GER
tain and reliable guide to identifica-
ton at any later date.-Chicago Trib-
lne.

BLOOD POISONING.
The symptoms Are of Two yarfetie.
which Differ More or Less
How TO Treat IL.

In the widest acceptation of tn,
term. blood poisoning occurs in al
infected diseases, in Bright's disease
Dihousness, malaria and many Other
troubles affecting the general sys
tenn. But, as usually understood, il
means poisoning by pus microbes OF
their products, conditions medically
known as pyaemia or septicaemia
says Youths Companion.
A quarter Of a century ago these
diseases were very common, espe-
claliy IN hospitals, and were often
the cause Of frightful mortality
among the wounded in battle; but
now they are becoming more and
more rare, and many physicians of
several years practice have never
seen a well-marked case.
This happy change is the result Of
the general adoption Of the prinei-
pies of antiseptie surgery, whereby
septic Infection of wounds and con
sequent extensive suppuration are
prevented. But blood-poisoning still
occurs at times after wounds made
with infected objects, or wounds
which have been allowed to tester
without proper treatment.
Physicians occasionally get blood
poisoning in consequence of a slight
cut or scratch received while per
forming an autopsy after case Of
appendicitis or other suppurative dis
ease. In cases in which death fol-
lows an operation for appendicitis
the cause is frequently septicaemia
or pyaemia. the operation having
been undertaken too late 10 prevent
the absorption OF septic material.
The symptoms of blood-poisoning |
are those Of profound depression OF
the general system, but the symp-
toms Of the two varieties Of blood |
poisoning differ more or less
septicaemia usually begins abrupt i
iy with a chill and high fever The
pulse is quick and weak. the breath
ing is rapid and sometimes OPP
pressed, headache Is usually severe.
the appetite Is lost, aud there is
nausea with vomiting.
In pyaemia these symptoms are
gradual in. their appearance. and are
for a day or two by slight
fever, loss OF appetite and general
depression. There Is a succession OF
,hills. high fever and sweating. so
hat the case is sometimes mistaken
'or malaria. Later all doubt is re-
moved by the formation Of assesses
n various parts Of the body
Both forms Of blood-poisoning are
rave. but recovery Is more apt to I.
axe place in septicaemia. Treat .
neni consists primarily in attention
o the wound through which infec-
ion has occurred. which, IL access

PUMPING OUT A scow.
10 Is the Easiest Problem the River
Man Has-Just Pull the Plug
Out and Haul.

Nobody who knows anything
about boats worries over a few feet
Of water in a scow if the water isn't
too deep" said a river man TO New
York sun reporter. Getting it out
is the easiest job in the world.
"scows, as everybody knows. are
fat bottomed, and up forward in the
bottom of every one is plug as big
around as mans two fists. Dozens
of empty scows fiji up with water
and lie at the piers with only the
deck afioat every year II doesn't
hurt them. The owner just lets them
lie so till they're wanted. Then he
sends a tugboat alongside and she
bitches on. A man goes aboard the
scow and pulls out the plug.
Does the scow sink? Nary
foot. As the tug starts her up you
see she lifts the old seow up some.
and the result is that the water in
the scow pours out through the plug
hole. It's hard pulling at first, but
the faster the tug hauls the higher
goes the scow bow and the quicker
the water goes out, till the scow's
almost dry. After spin of a mile
or so the plug can be replaced and
the little water that remains in her
out by hand.

region known as the Black prairie.
much wooded country and fine graz
ing land. The President had his first
glimpse of long horned Texas cattle
and picturesque cowboys on Western
range horses.
The Presidents reception in the Lone
Star state was continuation of the
ovation he had received throughout the
South. Gov. Savers and other promi-
nent state officials met the President
at Houston and accompanied him as
far as Austin. There were some inter-
esting features in the reception at
Houston and very picturesque scene
at Prairie View. where the President
addressed the colored students of the
State Normal School on the open prai-
RE at the side of the track.
Minute stops We're also made at
Hampstead where the President shook
hands with a number of people: at
pranhon, ha of 'nl
one of the Presidents old colleagues in
the House of Representatives.. and at
Elgin. at each of which places he spoke
a few words. At every station along
the route there were cheering crowds.
The feature of the day was the re-
ception accorded the party at Austin.
which. like New Orleans. had never be-
fore had the honor of entertaining a
Chief Magistrate of the nation. The
city was profusely decorated and in
the evening there was a brilliant illu-

pie.
A procession headed by a fine mill
tary band and consisting Of Il COM

A POSSIBLE CLUE.
Telegram May Reveal Identity
of Halifax Suicide.
She Waited in Vain Two Days at St.

Then Went TO halifax Operator Holding II.
Awaiting Orders.

Halifax, n. s.. May 3.-There is only
one way apparent now to establish the
identity of the unknown woman who
shot herself here, Tuesday a telegram
addressed to Mary Warren Cross, the
name under which the woman regis
tered at St John, n. b.. received there
the day after she left for Halifax. The
telegram was from New York and is
now in the hands of the local manager
of the Western Union Telegraph at St.
John, who will not make the name Of
TIE sender of the message public with
ont the consent of the New York super
intendent Of the line.
The theory Of the police that the
dead woman came from New York
seems TO be correct. Mrs. Cross
awaited two days at st. John for the
telegram and then apparently gave up
hope of receiving a message.
The police are also in Geographic
communication with the Sherbrook.
