The Trade Rat.

One of the oldest little animals in
existence is the California wood rat,
better known as the trade rat" 1t
owes the latter name, says the Strand.
to the fact that, though 1t is a great
thief, 1T never steals anything without
putting something else in its place.
The story is told Of a paste pot which
had peer left over night in the ASSAY
office at the Silver Queen mine, and
which was found in the morning filled
with the oldest collection Of rubbish.
This was the work of trade rats. They
had stolen the paste and left in ex-
change a piece Of stick, a length Of
rope, some odds and ends of wire and
an unbroken glass funnel.
The object of the trade rat in so
~scrupulously paying for what he takes
is something OF a mystery, but these
same rats certainly take the greatest
pleasure in the odds and ends which
they collect.
A description is given Of a trade rats
nest found in an u~noccupied house. The
outside was composed entirely Of iron
spikes laid in perfect symmetry, with
the points outward. Interlaced with
the spikes were about two dozen forks
and spoons and three large butcher
knives.
There were also a large carving fork.
knife and steel. several plugs OF to-
bacco, an old purse, a quantity OF small
carpenter tools, including several au-
gers and a watch. OF which the outside
casing, the glass, and the works were
all distributed separately so as to make
the best show possible. Altogether the
oldest collection. None of these things
was of any earthly use to h rats.
They must have collected them just
ia the same way that a child boards
up odds and ends to play with.

GuilIotine Out of Business.

The guillotine has passed from ac-
tive life In France The abolition Of
the Heath penalty has put it on the re-
tired list.
The Paris correspondent OF London
Truth says that the institution might
have dragged on it's existence a few
years longer but for the fact that the
land in he vicinity of the Roquette
prison a SO greatly increased in
value.
1t was to this prison that Paris
criminals were transferred after their
sentence, their execution taking place
in the public square just outside. The
state decided to sell the and for ten
ement buildings and transfer the in
mates to the country.
But the law provides that criminals
must be executed publicly in the town
where they have received their sem
tenceI and in no other place. The pre-
feet of police was aware that no rate
payers of Paris would submit to the
indignity of having the guillotine in
their vicinity. Consequently, there be-
ing no place for the g%uillotine to per-
form its functions, there have been
no executions since the Roquette pris-
on was destroyed six years ago.
M. Deibler, the late executioner, re-
ceived about 1900 francs a year from
the ministry of justice. between his
salary and perquisites, and was also
allowed a couple of aides. Among the
perquisites were the calves he and his
men guillotined to keep their hands in.

The Gar as an Athlete.

From CasselfS Saturday journal.
The car is below the medium height
and, although he does not look 1T, he
is something of an athlete. In a walk
he can easily outdistance the average
man. Pedestrianism is, in fact, the ex-
ercise that appeals to him most. He
can go miles without requiring a rest.
but nowadays he INDUCES in but few
rambles.
He does not fear death for himself,
but he believes that God intended him
to rule and therefore he avoids I'M
necessary risks. The tales that are
circulated periodically to the effect that
he trembles for his safety throughout
the livelong day are as untrue as they
are absurd.
Nicholas III. is also a fair oar. When
he was over in this country some years
ago he ~patronized the Thames fire.
