England is catching it right and left for it's treatment of the wives and children of the fighting Boers. Miss Hcbhouse's story of the horrible sui ferings of the Boer people has aston ished the world. When" says one writer, "Broderick. the British secre- tary of war, tried to gloss over the story of the sufferings of Boer women and children, a member of parliament, Lloyd George, rose in his place in the house of commons and cited facts which form the most damning indict- ment ever framed against a govern ment calling itself civilized. After stating that Lord Kitchener's figures showed that the rate of deaths in the camps in which the Boer women and children were confined were 45O per 1000, Lloyd George proceeded to make this comparison: The rate of mortal ity amongst these children was higher than that amongst our soldiers who had to brave the risks of the field. The mortality amongst our troops was something like 36 per thousand. When the epidemic was at its highest at Bloemfontein it was 3 per thousand. But the rate amongst the women and children was 450 per thousand.' What a story do these figures tell! English soldiers who q. year and a half ago took the queens shilling and went forth on their mission of murder, did not run so great risk of losing their lives as did the women and children of the brave fellows who have been risking all in defense of their homes and their liberty. Where one red coat lost his life twelve Boer women and children have been done to death.'

WHITE HOUSE CATS.
Demand Is Great for Kittens Born There and Supply Seems to Be
 Incxhaustiblc.

Evidences of prosperity exhibited by one of the colored employees of the white house, best known as George, made him the envy of his associates in Washington. He appeared in a new suit of ''store clothes" When they saw him bring little kitten into the white house the other day and sub sequently hand the little pet over to fashionably attired woman who was riding in a trap, the secret came out.
 Not long since the official white house cat gave birth to 12 kittens-an even dozen and no more. The old cat and her family were in Georges keeping. When the event became known in official and social circles there was great demand for kittens born beneath the roof of the execu- tive mansion. Learning that George was their sole keeper, society girls sought him out, and each wanted the prettiest one in the lot.
 When a dozen customers had been supplied, the demand was as great as ever. As some of the kittens had brought as high as five dollars, George could not think of retiring from the cat business. He went among his friends in South Washington and dis covered other kittens. They were just as pretty as the white house ones, and passed readily for the genuine arr fic1e

NEVER LEAVES HER DWELLING
HoboIxen Woman Who Has Lived shut Up in q Darkened House
 for Thirty-Seven Years.

Hoboken, N. J., has house of mys- tery-No. 135 Bloomfield street. For 27 years Mrs. C.. F. Staab has dwelt there behind sealed-up and heavily eurtained wooden shutters. Not once in all that time, except on March 4, 1898, when she followed her hus- bands body to~the grave, has the aged woman stepped forth into the light of day. In that time, too, no one. save heretwo sons, has been all lowed to go within that dreary-look- ing home. Once a neighbor got a glimpse of weird face at the half open rear blind on the second story the face of a woman Of seventy odd, with wan, melancholy, features, hopeless eyes and hair whitened by grief and age. It was Mrs. Staab. She hastily withdrew when she saw she was watched.
 Washington Staab, one of the sons, is 43 years old and makes his head quarters at big livery stable. He was quite indignant when questioned about his mother.
 My mother is not prisoner said he. "She can go out any time if she wants, but she doesn't care to. Some years ago she had some trouble with her son, Alfred, my brother who lives in New York, and since then she hasn't cared to go out. He comes on Wednesdays and Saturdays to see her now. My mother is "A years old.'

FIERCE FIGHT WITH RAT.
Syracuse Man Has Desperate Strug- gle Before the Animal Is
 Finally Killed.

Henry Wagner, of No. 1431 North desperate encounter with rat in his house, and he only succeeded in kill ing the animal after a half hours battle. About two weeks ago Wag- ner was awakened in the night by his baby boy, who appeared badly frightened at something, and was crying so loud that he went into hys- terics. For seven days the child would cry and scream in turn and cast nasty glances about the room. He became so bad that physician was called in to attend him, and he said the child had received bad scare, probably from rat.
 The other night Wagner was awakened by a strange noise, and went from his bedroom into the kitchen, where he was confronted by an immense rat. The animal did not seem to be disturbed by the intru- sion, but lay crouched in the middle of the floor as if ready for fight. Wagner grabbed a broom and started for the rat; but. instead of retreat ing it sprangtfor him, landing on his breast. It buried its teeth in Wag- ner's flesh, but was brushed off after it had bitten him several times. Again it sprang at the man, and left the imprint of its4steeth in Wagner's stomach. Wagner struck the rat sev- eral times with the broom, but this had no effect on the animal. He then got a slat from bed. With this weapon he hit the rat in the head and succeeded in killing it.

SUGAR BEET CAKE.
Secretary Wilson Predicts That IT NiiI Become an Article of Conn
 merce-Good for Dairy Cows.

While in San Francisco" said Sec retary Wilson, II met a few sugar beet. producers. I inquired if it had occurred to them to press the water out of the pulp so it might be trans ported cheaper and stored with great CT facility. This is now being done, and before long sugar beet cake will be an article-o commerce. The pulp of the sugar beet is as valuable to the dairy COW as the entire beet, because the extraction of the sugar leaves everything. required by the COW, as it gets the necessary sugar from fod- ders. inquired if the test had been made of the value of the by-products in feeding dairy cattle.
 .Claus Spreckels is feeding GOO cows with pulp, but this is not being done everywhere. The sugar is taken from the beet and the by-product sold for feeding cheap steers or otherwise wasted. Profits from the industry are expected only from sugar by large majority. It is more economical to build large factories costing from S35o,0oO and upward. We might have begun, this industry as they did in Europe by making brown sugar and selling it to refineries. The American idea is to produce the finished prod uct. leaving the operators free from the power of the sugar trusts, that exist solely at ports of entry for the purpose of refining foreign sugar."

MAN WITH STRANGE GIFT.
Es Q veritnbIe Magnet and Makes Iron POkers Dance and Walk by
 Looking mt Them.

There is a veritable human magnet at Alto Pass, H., whose power ef mind over inanimate matter seems truly miraculous. His name is Viggo Lerche. He arrived in the town sew eral weeks ago from Copenhagen, Denmark, on a visit to his uncle, C.. lessen. The other evening at MT. Jessen's home Lerche took an iron poker, three feet long and very heavy, stood it against the wall at an angle of about 45 degrees, sat down a few feet distant, folded his hands, looked steadily at the poker for about one minute, when it began to shake and then rose to a perpendic- ular position. After standing still a minute the poker moved toward Mr. Lerche in short jumps
 This is only one illustration of Lerche's wonderful power. He shuns notoriety, and only once in awhile gift. It is positively known that there is no trickery whatever in his performance. He discovered his pow CT accidentally several years ago while student in Copenhagen col lege. He was sitting on bench in park after school hours breeding over some trouble he had had with his chum, and was looking intently at a small round stick lying at his feet, when suddenly the stick began to roll and tumble. Mir. Lerche says he was nonplused by the phenomenon, and has ever since regarded his own pow

' E
 The tendency to leave the country for the city is a steadily growing one In our days. says an exchange, Ethe rural population which remains in Eng land is focking to the cities of it's own accord. It has no opening for improve ment in the country, being reduced to the rank of mere wage earners. The country has become utterly uninterest- ing to it, as neither amusement nor career nor prosperity is before it there. 1t hates the squire and the parson and all the quality" who have thriven while it. went down hill. It leaves the country gladly to escape them | and their perpetual patronizing and 1ectur- ing, and to get to a neighbofhood in which some sort of democratic quality prevails and man or woman can talk back when they are told what they do not want to hear. Squire and parson are very willing now to keep in the country all they can induce to stay But their names and positions are associat- ed in the minds of the villagers with memories of oppression and wrong, and the past cannot be effaced by a few words of kindness. The board schools are teaching the villagers just enough to make them utterly discontented with the inequalities of society, without giving them any theory to explain these. The old doctrine that the poor should ''order themselves lowly and reverently toward their betters'' is not so much emphasized even by Church of England clergy as it used to be. And with the people it has lost its hold ut terly. Besides this, the country has lost it's charm for the .countryman. He has learned from the cheap newspapers of the exhaustless variety of the life of the street and the music hall and he does not mean to spend his life in mop ing behind ditch for any man. So he strikes out for the big city and is swal- lowed up in its countless throngs. Even if he emigrate, he elings to the city. The Australian government cannot in- duce him, by the gift of free land, to leave Melbourne and Sidney and Bris- bane for the country. In Canada he drifts in the same fashion into the rap- idly growing cities of the dominion.
