minated. Accordingly the Sherman
steamed back to Mariveles. When she
arrived there her matches had been
opened up and enough sulphur carried
below to kill millions Of rats As soon
as the anchor was dropped the sulphur
fires were started in the hold, and in a
few minutes the work Of the fumes be-
came apparent.
Out Of the matches there poured such
stream Of rats as was never before
seen in the Orient. First by the
hundreds, and then by the thousands,
they appeared at the matches, and then
leaped into the water. Every one tried
TO swim ashore, but the distance was
far too great for any rat to swim, and
soon the great black line Of padding
rodents began to thin out Some Of
them reached point about 1900 yards
off the ship, but none got any further.
After the fumes had been working for
about an hour, the rats stopped appear
ing. An inspection of the ship was
made and not a rat discovered The
Sherman then re-entered Manila and
discharged her cargo.

"Death Better Than the struggle"

CHICAGO, ILL, July 3-Mary Seiga'
delli will be buried beside her mother,
Of whom she thought 30 much. The
girl who yesterday took her life because
she could not earn an honest living, will
find peace at last. Her father has taken
charge of the body, and will place it in
the family burial lot.
II find it very hard for a good girl in
a great city TO make living honestly,
she wrote just before her death. II
have tried my best and repeatedly have
been discharged for inexperience. At
last, have given up in despair, Death
is better than the struggle"
When found yesterday in little room
in the clearinghouse at 100 Chicago
avenue, she was kneeling in an attitude
Of prayer. The Girls last cent was
spent Sunday, and she died hungry.
II is said that when her mother died she
left a small estate in trust for the
daughter, but that the girl had not been
able to get this as she was not yet Of
age.

Early Marriages.

Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages
are the result Of green human calves
being allowed to run at large in the
society pastures without any yokes on
them. They marry and have children
before they do moustachesi they are
fathers of twins before they are proprie-
tors of two pairs of pants, and the little
girls they marry are old women before
they are thirty years Of age Occasion
ally one of these gOsling marriages
turns out all right, but it Is a clear case
Of luck. If there was a law against
young galoots Sparkling and marrying
before they have all cut their teeth, we
suppose they would evade it in some
way, but there ought 10 be sentiment
against it. 1t is time enough for these
bantams to think of finding a pullet

He Was Silent Eighteen Years.

From Hanover Pa Record, July Il.
After refusing to speak for period Of over
eighteen years, Jacob RudiSill, of Heidelberg
township, near Iron Ore. Is dead.
He was one of the few men in this world
who thought he talked too much, and at the
age of SO years, resolved TO never speak again.
The conviction that people in general and
himself in particular were entirely 100 volnble
came upon Mr.. Rudis;ll one evening, when
an experience meeting was held at his
home, and many persons had given wordy
narratives of their past and present state.
Then and there he declared Il talk too much
we all talk too much, and he resolved
never TO speak again.
All endeavors TO make him talk only result
ed in nod of the head or waving OF the
hand. Year after year passed and these mo
tions took the place of speech. i! he wanted
to ask question, a motion would bring the
desired result. aud in answering questions
nod Of the head would express the infoEma-
ton.
Laughing was not abolished by Mr.. Rudi-
sill. aud one of his pleasures was TO laugh
heartily at anything which amused him.
When death put close TO his strange
reer he was "A years, months and days old.
His death, which occurred Sunday, July ,,
was caused by dropsy, from which he had SUI.
fered for about two years. He is survived by
his wife, three sons aud three daughters.
