AN AGE OF COARSENESS

It is an age of coarse effects, an age of advertisement. A poet could not consistently sing now about a rose left to bloom all un- seen, for excursion trains would be sure to be arranged there at reduced rates. It is a confiden- tial age, and we demand a confd- ant as much as a matter of course as the heroine of the old-fashion- ed Italian opera-in fact, we de- mand the undivided attention of the whole world. We sing our songs and listen greedily for the applause of the gallery; we meet with domestic misfortune and weep on the bosom of the divorce court, and the daily papers weep with us. We do not do good by stealth, but rather in such way that we get a baronetcy or a dec- oration. So when you see man all tinkly with little stars and things you will know that he is always a very great and charit- able man indeed. and charity is not only aims bestowed on the poor. It is the beauty of charity that it is not bigoted. Black woods Magazine.

RATS ALWAYS SAIL AWAY.
Yet There is No Apparent Decrease in
Their Number at New Orleans.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat
Capt. A. r. McGonnigal was for a num-
Der of years an officer of one of the fruit
steamers plying between New Orleans and
Central American ports. Talking with me
about this fruit trade one day last week.
he said: do you know, 1T amazes me that
the fruit steamers do not succeed in rid
ding New Orleans of Its rat population.
They are continually carrying rats away
from New Orleans and never bring them
back yet the rat supply in the Crescent
City always holds up under the strain
pretty well.
Il was in the trade for a good many
years, and count this curious freak of the
Louisiana rats one of the oldest things I
have ever been cogniZant Of. While the
fruit steamers lie at the New Orleans docks
the rats stow themselves away by the
scores and hundreds. Cats are of no avail
In keeping them back. / had fifteen on
board my craft once, and they succeeded
in doing no more than keep the rodents be-
low deck. On the out voyage they are one
soon as the vessel reaches one of the Gem
trail or South American ports they swarm
ashore, as though the Pied Piper of Hamlin
were playing on the sands.
During the return voyage to New Or
leans, with my vessel loaded with luscious
fruit, and. 1t would be presumed, far more
enticing to a rat have never seen one on
board. They sail out with US, but they
never come back. don't know how to ac-
have no doubt the captain of every vessel
in the fruit trade out of New Orleans has
noticed 1t and will substantiate my asser-
tion."
