Why Rats GnaW.

Certain animals have teeth which
grow all their lives. The rat and the
squirrel are examples Of this. Human
teeth are developed from pulps. which
are absorbed and disappear after the
teeth ars grown; but In the case of
iat the tooth pulp is perpetual. and Is
continually secreting material by which
1t gains length. Therefore the animal
Is obliged to gnaw all the time to
keep the tooth down to its proper
length. It Is COMMONLY believed that
rats keep gnawing out Of pure mis-
chief. but such Is not the case.

c. 3. circuit Manages Mammoth Yards
at Newport News.
For many years the late Coils P.
Huntington cherished the idea Of es-
tablishing a great American shipyard
where could be built the greatest OF
battleships, and equipped with nam
moth dry docks which could take In
for repairs the leviathans of the deep.
His work was taken up at his death by
his widow, Mrs. Arabella Huntington;
his nephew, Henry E. Huntington, and
the president of the company, G. B.
circuit. The result Is the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock COM
pany's great shipyard at Newport
News, Va, the greatest and most per-
fectly equipped yards in the United
States.
A great feature of the yard is the
dry docks. Whenever a ship on the
Atlantic coast from Jersey to the gulf
needs repairs she makes for the great
dry docks at Hampton Roads; one is
900 feet in length, the other S27 feet
long, 1872 feet wide and a depth of 80
feet. Two battleships can be locked
in 1t at one time. 1t is the largest
dry dock in the world and cost over a
million dollars.
Mr.. circuit, who manages the affairs
Of this great company, with its twenty
millions of contracts and its army of
seven thousand workmen, is a practi-
cal man of business. Seen at the

charm of manner, his affability and

as a graceful POSTMASTER saying many

Archbishop RYan,s Joke.

Archbishop Ryan Of Philadelphia is
very fond Of joke and in spite Of his
multifarious duties finds time for
many amusing quips. When Bishop
Spalding of Peoria visited the arch
bishop some time ago 1t was arranged
that the western man should be en-
tertained by a lady prominent in
social and charitable AFFAIRS. The
archbishop wrote him, giving some
details regarding his prospective
hostess, and ended his letter thus:
The lady who has all these virtues
treats her husband like a brute P. s.
She is very fond of brutes, being

DTOuYnI TlIIH NlShOTys
What one determined clergyman
can do in the way of driving out
gamblers was demonstrated a few
days ago by Rev. F. H. Argo, the
young rector of an Episcopal church
at Rocklidge, Montgomery county, Pa.
Some poolroom men and others Of
that ilk established quarters in his
vicinity, having been forced to leave
Philadelphia. Mr.. Argo called on
them, but was denied admission to
the place. Thereupon he announced
that he was fully aware Of their inten-
tions and he advised them to go away
quietly. 1--WE will keep after you for
six months If necessary" said hey
"and | promise eventual conviction
for every one Of you" The gamblers
held a consultation Of about an hour.
Then one OF the number called on the
clergyman and said that they were
about to leave. They were as good
as their word, for in about forty-eight
hours they and their belongings had
disappeared.
