evils he exposed he discovered as

hearts with them, and the reporter
with his "roastsT compelled indifferent
city officials "a concede the reforms he
suggested or approved. Consider these
reforms: 1t was Rils who exposed the
contaminated state Of the clty's water
supply, and thus brought about the
purchase Of the whole Croton water
shed. 1t was Rils who forced the de-
struction of rear tenements, and thus
relieved the hldeous darkness and

THE sAoAcITY OF RATS.

Two Instances Which Show Their
Almost Human Intelligence.
/ commented recently on the way
in which small carcasses are disposed
OF by natures scavengers, says a
writer in the Pal Mall Gazette. A far
mer on the moorlands, whence |
write, observed a curious instance Of
this lately. One Of the young fowls
lay dead In a field. From the oppo-
site side Of low hedge he saw rat
approach and pull at II. Being too
heavy for the raider TO drag away,
he left It, and the farmer, guessing
what would happen next. jumped over
the hedge, and. after picking his bird
up, hid again 10 watch the rats tao
tics. Very soon he returned to the
spot with two other rats. The express
sion on these creatures faces, when
no chicken was to be seen there, was,
he says, intensely human. They look
ed at their unfortunate companion,
who had, as they considered, deceived
them, for a moment or two, and then,
falling on him together, actually did
him to death.
They are truly wonderful beasts
a friend, whose hens eggs had been
taken largely, hid up in his fowl house
and patiently waited till he saw 9
large rat run up a short hen ladder tc
a nest, and seize an egg between bis
paws. He then land himself on his
back, and held the egg on his chest
More rats appeared, and forming
themselves into a chain from tht
ground, they positively drew the rai
with the egg down the ladder, passing
It along from one to the other till 4
was safely below.

There Is more Catarrh In this section ofthe
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposedto
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly falling TO
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh TO be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrn
