RATS HATE TOBACCO.
Cigar Stores Therefore Are Not
Bothered by Rodents.

Cigar Stores Therefore Are Not
Bothered by Rodents.
CAT any rate, the tobacco man
can put in a good word for the rat"
said an old cigar man, ''but | sup
pose he is the only man who would
see anything about this rodent fam
ly that was good.
Besides, what he says is mega
tive sort of goodness. The rat sim
ply doesn't bother the tobacco man.
During a long experience in the
tobacco business, an experience COW
ering twenty-five years OF more, |
can recall but few instances where
the rats became at all bothersome
around cigar stores.
"They cannot stand the odor OF
tobacco and ] have never known of
rats eating tobacco in any form, or
even of rats attempting to cut into
tobacco. suppose the taste Of the
weed is offensive to the rodent pal
ate.
cat any rate they will have moth
ing to do with it. You might fill
the place up with rats, and | would
open every box of cigars and tobacco
in the place SO the tribe would have
easy access to the stock, and would
lay wager that we would come in
here after they had remained over
night and find that they had not
touched a thing in the place.
Gratis are not chewers Of tobacco,
nor smokers, nor users of the weed
in any form. Even the smoke of
the tobacco seems to craze them.
I remember few years ago to have
made an experiment for the purpose
of seeing what effect smoke would
have on rat and to determine the
cause of the rats antipathy to to-
bacco. / had caught rat in a trap
at my house.
81 put him in a little cage and
began to blow tobacco smoke in on
him. | have seen a great many
panic stricken animals, but nothing
comprised by my experience equaled
the wild alarm of that rat when |
began to puff the smoke through the
Sits of the cage. If the cage had
been on fire he would not have been
more frightened than he was.
Maybe that is what he thong hit.
I carried the experiment further
than I had intended, for before |
knew it the rat became as limp as a
rag and was evidently very much
nauseated.
"The experiment taught me that
the rats stomach rebels at either the
smell or the taste Of tobacco, and |
suppose that's why we are not pes
tered by, rats in cigar stores.

Head of the United Mine Workers
 Finds Himself Powerless.

Kansas City. Mo. Sept 12.-President John Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers of America, having failed in his efforts to induce the striking coal miners at Novinger. Mo, to return to work, can do nothing further toward settling She differences among the union miners of the district until action has been taken by the miners convention which will meet here tomorrow.
 President Mitchell is anxious to ar rive at an amicablc adjustment of the difficulties, as the operators refuse to treat with the union or it's representa- tives unul those in authority can de monstrate their ability to compel the union men to live up to their agree ment.

Looking Glasses.

In the mirrors of today the light is
reflected by a layer Of silver or an
amalgam Of tin, but proportion of
light is lost in the process of reflection,
and the image is less luminous than
the original.
The value Of looking glass'i is usual
~ estimated by the thickness of the
glass, because the thicker it is the
stronger it must be. But speaking sci
entifcally thick glasses are defective,
because the outlines of the image re-
Elected are less clearly defined.
There are really three reflections and
consequently three images in every
glass mirror, one from the upper sur
face of the glass, the second from the
lower surface and the third from the
metallic layer at the back.
An ideal mirror is one with a per-
fectly fat surface, but it is only pos
sible to obtain this result in compare
lively small glasses. The larger glasses
do not reflect a true image, because it
is not possible to make them quite fiat
