games were close and exciting. The
first game was an thinning affair
and was won on MarshalIs error.
The second game was even more of

fact that Salt Lake made IL errors

RATS KNEW CAT WAS ABOUT
They Never Saw Puss and Were on
Another Floor of House.

They Never Saw Puss and Were on
Another Floor of House.
81 have observed recently rather
curious thing with respect to the rela-
tionship between cats and rats, and it
has led to rather interesting reflec-
ton" said man who takes much in
terest in animal life. For awhile the
rats overran my place. At night there
was no such thing rs quiet around the
house. They would scamper across the
floor, bump up and down the steps and
cut all kinds of capers. We secured a
cat, and from the very time the cat
appeared on the place the rats began
to get scarce.
''There is nothing curious about this
fact in itself. But to my personal
knowledge the rats have never seen the
cat. The cat has remained on one floor
and the rats on another. There has been
no chasing and no conflict between
them. Now, I want to know how the
rats know the cat is on the place.
''The inquiry has caused me to in
dulge the more interesting reflection,
How far can rat detect the presence
of a cat by the sense of smell? Evil
IDENTIFY at considerable distance. Else
the rats at my place would not have
known of the cats presence under the
circumstances. I'm quite sure that
they have never seen the cat. But
they know he is there just the same,
and they have been awfully cautious
since his arrival" New Orleans Times

spencers and Titles.

Herbert Spencer in disdaining all IT,
ties happened to follow a lead set to
him by others of his name. Charles
Spencer, second Lord Sunderland,
would not, when he sat in parliament
for Tiverton, allow himself to be called
my lord and expressed the hope that
he would live to see the day when
not peer would be left in England.
Another and later Spencer, the Hon.
George Spencer, sixty years ago aston-
ished his father, the Earl Spencer Of
the day, by dropping his title and even
his name when he became a Roman
Catholic and entered the Passionist or
der as Father Ignatius."

Danserou. Fishing.

Some years ago the New London
sloop yacht Redhot, while cruising off
Marthas Vineyard for swordfish, was
struck by wounded fish and SO badly
injured that she sank. The fish had
pierced the bottom with his sword and
in his blind attack had butted his head
SO hard against her timbers that they
were shattered.
Actually not one of the fifty or sixty
vessels that cruise for swordflsh has a
record of complete immunity. One
craft was struck and rammed by sword
fish twenty times in one cruise. Luck
lily none Of the attacks was delivered
under such circumstances that the fish
succeeded in piercing her hull entirely,
but the vessel was injured so badly that
she needed a thorough overhauling aft
er she made port.

Mary as. a Christian name was held
IN very singular veneration during the,
medieval ages, and in some parts Of
Europe there existed a superstitious
reluctance among men to marrying any
one who CHANGED to have been so chris
tened, or the bride elect was at least re-.
quired to change this name for some
other Of less sanctity.
All Marys were at one time believed
to be invested with extraordinary pow.
ers ii connection with the affairs Of
life. Bearing the same name as the
Blessed Virgin, they were considered
worthy Of more than common consid-
Grafton, and their personal influence
over their husbands especially was I'M
usual; hence many men sought au.
thoritative ordinances forbidding their
wives to be known az Mary. Sover-
eigns, In some cases. dreading subjec-
ton to their partners, showed q mark
ed distaste for Marys.
Thus Alfonso Nv. of CASTLE, when on
the point of wedding Moorish maid
en-, made it condition of the mar
rage that at her baptism, as recent
convert to Christianity, she should not
take this name. In the articles settled
for the union of Ladislas Of Poland
with Marie de Nevers there was a
clause which bound this princess to
change her name to Aloysa. Casimir
l. of Poland, who married Mary.

quired of her a similar sacrifice to pop.

Water Conditions.

- i.
After coming to about a standstll on
Tuesday of last week the river began to
rise slowly again on Sunday and has been
rising very slowly ever since, having ris-
en- from the 10Th to the 18th total Of 10
inches. The reports from above and be.
low US are that the river is either about
stationary or falling, so we do not look
for but little increase at this point. The
Pembina river is now about 4 feet from
the top of the planking on the bridge,
which is about the high water mark OF
1897. The lower parts of South Pembina
are submerged and the ball park would
make an ideal place for game of water
polo. No water is yet on the townsite
proper, and the lowest residences have
from one to two feet to spare before the
water could reach their floors. Brother
Deaeon's residence over at ST.. Vincent
has but few inches left. There is every
reason to expect high stage of water
for some time as there is lots of nois-
ture on the prairies that has to run away

The seeding will be the latest for many
years in this county and in some cases
the lateness will be prohibitive at the
last end. Some seed has been sown this
week in some specially favored spots,
but there have been but very few fielas
dry enough anywhere in the county to be
able to 60 ahead and do square work
without skipping some mud and water
holes. In some of the western localities
they have had sort of secondary flood
caused by the water coming down from
tie mountains, OVERLOOKING the streams
and running across country. The last
few days have been the first real drying
days this spring, and the ground has in
consequence been drying up very rapid
ly. Next Monday is the End OF May.
but we doubt as seeding will be at all
general before the last Of the week.
