Rats Are Great Travellers.

Rats do not, as one would suppose,
remain on the ship, but get off at vari-
Gus ports, and after remaining awhile
ship on some other vessel for another
voyage. The water rats or wharf rats
are great travellers and make frequent
voyages around the lakes and even
around the world, the latter as l dis
covered while engaged in West India
service. There are here now rats from
almost every part of the globe. Why,
l saw four colossal Jamaica rats, with
their white bellies, skipping about in
the moonlight a few weeks ago, and
only yesterday l killed two Indian male
rats not POO feet from where we were
standing.
Rats are great climbers when they
find it necessary to be so. Upon one
of my voyages we had a long spell of
warm weather, and there was no water
in the hold which the small army of
rats on board could get at. One night
we put some water up at the cross
trees and waited for the result. Well,
the rats just swarmed up the ratlines
and went for the water. We killed as
many of them as we could as they
came down, and some of them jumped
overheard and were drowned. But we
could not kill them all, and few made
the entire voyage with us.-Exchange

THE KAOlAK BEAR.
His Winter Habits Much Like Those
of Bears the World Over.

HIS winter HaDlIS mucn Like InO8e
of Bears the World Over.
The Kadiak bear finds no trouble in
getting all the food he wants during
the berry season and during the run Of
the various kinds of salmon, which
lasts from June until October. At this
period he fattens up, and upon this fat
he lives through his long winter sleep.
When he wakes in the spring, he is
very weak and hardly able to move. so
his first aim is to recover the use Of
his legs. This he does by taking short
walks when the weather is pleasant,
returning to his den every night This
light exercise lasts for a week or so,
when he sets out to seek upon the
beach kelp, which acts as purge. He
now lives upon roots principally of the
salmon berry bush. and later nibbles
the young grass. These carry him
along until the salmon arrive, when he
becomes exclusively a fish eater until
the berries are ripe. | have been told
by the natives that just before he goes
into his den he eats berries only, and
his stomach is now so filled with fat
that he really eats but little.
The time when the bears go into win
ter quarters depends upon the severity
of the season. Generally speaking, it
is in early November. shortly after the
cold weather has set in. Most bears
sleep uninterruptedly until spring. but
occasionally they are found wandering
about in midwinter. My natives seem
ed to think that only those bears which
have found uncomfortable quarters are
restless and that they leave their dens
at this time of the year only for the
purpose of finding better Ones.-From

WHAT is A "COLD?"
the Word That Covers IA Multitude
of Ills ExDOunded.

Professor Lohnberg, in the Vienna
Clinical Review, on an essay on cold
in the head. says that the ordinary
cold is no individual complaint, but
only collective name for large num-
Der of different complaints"
He continues, 1.-The attempt to dis
cover Il universal remedy against
cold is just as absurd as to search for
a generally etlicaciOus remedy for
headache" The particular complaint
of which the cold is the symptom
can only be ascertained by careful eX-
animation of the nasal cavities and
neighbOring parts" Hence sufferers
should be circumspect in the use of
remedies.
The professor says only that which is
true, but of which the mass of man
kind is ignorant. Colds are of innu-
merable varieties, but the most com
mon one is that which is persistently
misunderstood. 1t is attributed to any
thing but the right cause, which is a
miCrObe.
All its symptoms are those of high
ly infectious fever, and the public in
stead of blaming the micrObe of infec-
tion and striving to kill it will persist
in denouncing drafts, wet feet, low
temperature, etc.
They exclude air, the enemy of the
micrObe, from their rooms; they supply
a temperature in which it can multiply,
and. having become thoroughly inOcu-
lated by breathing the germ laden at
mosphere, they find that a cold current
Of air causes them to shiver The shiv'
ering of the ordinary mind decides the
question of causatiOn.
1t is significant of every fever that
it begins with shivering, and a cold
is no exception.
Cold. wet feet. drafts, etc. are a
most only accessories. By putting q
greater strain on the animal economy
they decrease its resistance to micro
bial infection.

A aneen,s Antipathy.

Notwithstanding her Hanoverian an
cestry, Queen Victoria was always
deeply interested in anything concern
ing the Stuarts. No one ventured in
her presence, says Mr.. Andrew Lang,
to call Prince Charles Edward the
"Pretender." For the hapless and
beautiful Mary of Scotland she felt
the profoundest pity, which was ut
least equaled by her strong antipathy
to Elizabeth.
Referring to this one day, the queen
said:
"Once when l was about fourteen
and my mother and l were at Margate
we went on board a steamer. AS we
were crossing the gangplank a woman
in the crowd looked hard at me and

l was a passenger out of Waterloo
station one morning several years ago
and shared the compartment with
young woman. The train was hardly
under way when she began weeping,
and, in response to questions. she IN
formed me that she had been serving
in a LondCh shop for several years
and had been discharged because of
series of thefts of which she was en-
tirely innocent. The girls grief was
too deep to be affected. and | offered
my sympathy and such advice as l
deemed best. Then, turning to the
window, l went carefully over her case.
When l turned around, after perhaps
a quarter Of an hour, the girl had dis
appeared. The door had been left un-
locked. Behind her she had left bag.
a parasol and a paper parcel My duty
was nlain. | should have pulled the
cord, stopped the train at once and
made full report of the circumstance.
l had reached for the cord when the
thought came to me that perhaps i
would be connected with her disap-
pearance. l was Il gentleman of good
repute, but at the best it meant a legal
investigation and much embarrass-
ment for me- When l reached my des-
tinatiOn, l lSlrried away as if l had
been an actual murderer.
The papers next day mentioned the
finding Of q girls dead body on the
rails, but as it was at a highway cross
ing the inference was that she had
been struck by a train while crossing
the tracks The corOner's inquest fail
ed to reveal her identity, and nothing
was said of the things left behind her
in the car. She was buried as an un-
known, and the whole affair was drop
ped.
l returned to London, and, though
guilty of nothing but neglected duty
my feelings were not to be envied.
Then one evening | received a cal
from a stranger He gave his name as
Bascombe and claimed to be Il gentle
man Of leisure. According to his story
he had seen me get into the compart
ment with the girl and had taken thC
next one ahead. He had heard sounds
of a struggle and her cries for help. HI
had seen her thrown out on the tracks
After l had left the train he had passeC

behind. He had ascertained my nam
