How a Rat ,stole Bulbs.

NJ. de Parville, we'll known French
naturalist, told q remarkable story
about rat in the Journal des Debats.
A gardener planted one afternoon go
tulip bulbs on terrace, and next
morning he noticed that the ground
had been disturbed and that they had
all been taken away. He was con-
fident that rats had done the work,
and, taking a spade, he began to dig
in the hope of discovering their nest,
Soon he unearthed Il large female rat,
which he killed, and after digging a
few more minutes he discovered an
underground chamber lined with hay
and leaves and connected by a CORR
dor with two holes. which We're evi
IDENTITY used as storehouses. for in the.
he found the go tulip bulbs. Chi;
was remarkable, but more remarkable
was the fact that they were neatly ar
ranged in two rows and that not one
of them had been gnawed or other
wise injured.

Gunpowder and Artillery.

There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gun9owder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages of the past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the max
inc of war with cannon and guns or
any kind Of firearms. Quintus CurtiuS
informs us that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia and
Phiostratus says that AleXander's con
quests were arrested by the use Of gun
powder. 1t is also written that those
wise men who lived in the cities of the
Ganges ''overthrew their enemies with
tempests and thunderbolts shot from
the walls."-Cassell's Magazine.

SEVEN AGES OF GRAFT

All the world Is graft,
And all the men and women mere
ly grafters.
They all have their sure things and
their bunco games,
And one man In his time works
many gratis,
His plugs being seven ages. AT
first the infant
Coming his dad until he walks the
floor,
And then the whining schoolboy
pouring Ger his book,
Jollying his teacher into making
him
A goodly grade. And then the
lover,
Making each maiden think that she
Is but the only one. And then the
soldier
Full of strange words and bearded
like bard,
Seeking the bubble reputation,
Even In the magazines. And then
the Justice,
Handing out the bull con to the
bench g
And jollying the jury till 1t thinks
He knows 1t all. The sixth age
shifts
To learn and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles off nose-hts Is a
graft!
For he Is then the Old Inhabitant
And all must hear him talk. Last
scene Of all,
That ends this strange, eventful
history,
Is second childishness and mere
oblivion,
Sans graft, sans pull, sans cinch'
sans everything.

Physical Changes i'm rIan.

Recent researches have furnished
some startling facts regarding changes
which man is at present undergoing
physically. 1t is believed that man
was formerly endowed with more teeth
than he now possesses. Abundant evil
dence exists that ages and ages ago
human teeth were used as weapons Of
defence. The practise OF eating Our
food cooked and the diSuse OF teeth as
weapons are said to be responsible for
the degeneration that is going on. In
ancient times a Short-sighted soldier or
hunter was almost an impoSsibility; to-
day whole nation is afflicted with de-
fective vision. 1t is almost certain that
man once possessed third eye, by
means OF which he was enabled to see
above his head. The human eyes for
merly regarded the world from the two
sides Of the head. They are now grad
TALLY shifting to a more forward posi-
ton. In the dim past the ear flap was
OF treat service in ascertaining the dl-
rection of sounds, and operated largely
in the play Of the features. But the
muscles of the ear have fallen into dis
use, for the fear of surprise by enc
mics no longer exists. Again, our
sense OF smell is noticeably inferior to
that OF savages. That it is still de-
creasing is evidenced by observations
OF the olfactory organ.

Russian BallOOning.

Ballooning under any conditions is
exceedingly perilous, but the aeronautt
in Russia would appear to be exposed
to danger OF sudden death from an un-
usual quarter. Recently large mill
tary balloon left the fortress Of Oso-
vetre, on the western frontier OF Rus
STA, and after voyage Of four hundred
and fifty miles descended in the gov
eminent OF Smolensk That journey
lasted nineteen and one-half hours.
Passing over Vitebsk the aeronaut5
came near to the earth to obtain some
photographs of the town.. when two
bullets whistled close by the car. TO
escape this danger rapid ascent was
made, but, later on, coming down to
a lower level, fifteen or twenty bullets
flew by them in unpleasant proximity.
The descent accomplished, inquiries
were set on foot, when it was ascer-
!ained that the balloon had been repeat
eddy fired at by the peasants and lnhab-
itants OF the districts passed over; by
some because it was believed to be an
evil spirit, by others because it. was
taken for a flying fish, and by others
again because it was regarded as har-
binger OF approaching misfortune.

New Advantages of the Trolley Cars.

The trolley car has become so COM
monplace that very few ever think that
it is really big agent for the spread OF
civilization. OF lines that run into the
country this is particularly true. Peo-
pie formerly isolated are put in closer
touch with the world. Having compar-
atively easy access to the advantages
that only large communities can offer
these people begin to avail themselves
of those advantages. The result is a
widening OF horizon, which ultimately
must be of great benefit to them. Then,
too. it must be remembered that the

in overdue season and served up at

he declared, the egg itself was az
fresh as the young woman who wrote
that I'd eat it, but guess not. Take
it back. But stay, let me get that adj
