Killing Rats with Gas.

Some interesting experiments have
taken place at the London docks to
show the effect of new system for
the: determination of rats on board
ships. The vessel is charged with sui
phur dioxide gas, which apparently
has the effect of attracting the rats
from their hiding places. and as soon
as they breathe the fumes they be-
come suffocated. In the experiments
on the steamer Gourkha several hum
bred rats were destroyed in few
minutes by means of the gas, which
has no injurious effect upon the dec
orations of the saloon.

Live Stock ut the Fair

In 1900 the Minnesota State Fair
secured the national exhibit of the
American Hereford Breeders Associa-
ton, and with other animals shown SET
forth the largest live stock display ever
made. In Chicago last fall. the Mime
sofa exhibit was eclipsed, but the Min
nesota men have now secured a joint ex-
hibition by the American Short-Horn
Breeders Association and the Hereford
people, with large accessions from many
other classes of breeders. The result
will be such gathering together of four
footed beasts as was never seen on the
face of the earth.
It will be a great occasion for
farmers who wish to study breeds, and

Capitol Park.

The first steps towards creating q
park about the new state capitol were
taken by the st. Paul park board, when
a resolution was passed instructing
the city engineer to prepare maps and
plats of the proposed improvements.
The ground to be converted into a
park is triangular in shape, facing the
capitol grounds on the west, and ex-
tending to St. Peter street.

Gus SNAKES TCE caI.j
ent incumbent of this important
office is a gentleman by the name OF
NJ. Courtol, who, judging from the
statement that he kills an average OF
1900 vipers year, and one year
killed 2,5O2, must be pretty expert in
the business. He receives five cents
a head for all he destroys and makes
a tolerably comfortable living out OF
his employment.
NJ. Courtol says the viper when at
rest is not easily seen, according to
the Philadelphia Times, as it assumes
the color of the ground or rocks OF
the locality, becoming blush black
upon basaltic rocks and reddish upon
volcanic scoriae. In addition to this
according to him, the viper chooses
it's bed before retiring by seeking
ground of the same color as its skin
M. Courtol has utilized 1900 skins
of these snakes in making himself
two suits of clothes. One of them,
which he is seen wearing in the pic
ture, consists of a pointed cap, jack
ct, waistcoat and trousers: the other
is in the style of Louis XIV.

1t has become quite a problem to dis

For such as these the Equine Prov

well and are able to work the owner

Struck it Rich.

According to reports brought home
by the members of the Thirty-seventh
regiment, which has been campaigning
in the Philippines, some of the former
members of the old First Tennessee,
who remained in the Philippines ON
staff duty after their regiment was mus
tered out, have struck it rich.
One Of the officers of the Thirty-sev-
enth said yesterday that there were
five or six Tennessee boys, members Of
the old First, who accepted staff posi-
tons in Manila, when the FIRST was
mustered out, and at the outbreak Of
trouble in China they went with the
army headquarters to that country and
were there during the siege of Pekin,

of them were loaded down with jewels
and money. zone Tennessee man l
saw" said the officer, chad q leather
pouch containing at least pint Of dia-
monds, pearls and and other precious
stones. There must have been $12,-
900 or $500 worth of them. He had
one pearl Of extra large size and es-
pecially rare beauty which l tried to
buy, but the man was on to his Job and
wanted full value for it.
"Several other Tennesseans brought
from China with them considerable
sums of money and rare jewels and
stones. "-Chattanooga Times.

Unicoi Won.

In the case of the Municipal Trust
company Of London vs.. Unicoi county,
involving a claim Of $40, 900, decision
was rendered in favor of the defendant.
Unicoi bonds voted for the purpose of
helping build the Three C's railroad,
amounting to 5000, were sold to the
Municipal Trust company, and this
with the accrued interest on the same,
made the amount stated above.
The attorneys for the defense main
tanned that under the laws of the state
of Tennessee, the county had no right
10 issue its bonds to a foreign corpora
ton. The case will probably be APP
pealed. Knoxville Sentinel.

Obituary.

Amanda Moore, wife Of Decatur
Moore, died Dec. 3Oth, 1900, aged 90
years. She leaves a dear husband and
brothers and sisters to weep after her.
But while we realize that she is no
more on earth, thather feet have ceased
to wander over the fields and briery
footpaths of earth today, they are
treading the gold paved streets of the
New Jerusalem. How sad we feel when
we realize that we have looked upon
the smiling face OF Amanda for the last
time in life. God let her live here a
few years, and with the prospect of
useful life before her, was called away.
Thus you see that God is no respector
OF persons, but calls the young as we'll
as the old. 1t may be truly said that
death, the king of terrors, loves gilt
tering gem, since those in the bloom of
life are his victims. How pleasant is
that sleep with one who has made all
things pleasant and happy with the
world and her God.
Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest
No fear, no woe shall dim that home,
That manifests the Savior's power
Then farewell dear one, thou art
gone. We see thee no more, yet thou
Invest beyond the reach Of sickness,
sorrow and pain. Thou livest where
gladness and unspeakable Joy shall be
forever thine. q. A. p.

is satisfactory and has fixed distances

1862 feet; thence to Mr.. Jones house
5334 feet, and thence to Bryans Hotel
in Pinebluff 5737 feet; total $500

Southern Pines to Pine Hurst and on
to Pinebluff is genmed with northern

ing on the range, the exclusive use OF
a food closet and dining table, and

linen for the rooms and dining room,
and silver for the table. Raw foods
are brought to the door every day by
