4 TWo=FOot Rat.

A warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, in Baltimore, had the distinc
ton the other day Of killing the larg
est rat ever seen along the local water
front. The rodent -eighed nearly
seven pounds. and from the tip of his
nose to the end of his tail he measured
two feet.
It was only after a desperate fight,
lasting twenty minutes, that the in
mense rat was killed. For some time
scraps Of paper and wood in the tool
room of the warehouse Indicated that
a swarm Of rodents was at work. Then
one morning the warehouseman en-
countered the big. fellow. With q
broom handle he attempted to put an
end to the rodents life, but the rat
showed fight. Back and forth he
scampered, and when cornered he
rushed at his assailant. Once he hid be-
hind a coil of rope overhead, and then
he dashed at the mans head. The
latter dodged but the rodents sharp
teeth grazed his face. At last the rat
was killed and measurements proved
that he was the biggest ever seen in
port.
The animal is supposed to be a sDe-
cies found in South America and it is
believed he came here in ship, all Of
which carry many rodents.

OUR SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
Beet Sugar Now More Than Half the
Worlds Total Production.

Of the more than 1900 million dol
lars worth of merchandise brought in
to the United States during the last
year more than $50 million dollars
worth was sugar. Sugar formed by
lar the largest single item in this larg-
est importation which the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The L tied States is increasing
steadily and rapidly it's consumption
of sugar. The sugar producers at
home are increasing their output of
both cane and beet sugar. but even
their rapid increase in production is
not keeping pace with the increasing
home demand, and as a consequence
the quantity Of sugar brought into the
country increases from year to year.
It has doubled in the last twenty years,
while population meantime increased
but SO per cent. The annual average
importation during the five-year period
ending with 1885 was 1,031,149 tons.
and d7-"ing the five-year period ending
with 1905 the annual average was 2,1O6,
043 tons, despite the fact that the SUGAR
production at home had grown from
176,035 tons in 1885 to approximately
100000 tons in 1905.
The United States is the largest
sugar-consuming country in the world,
though the per capita consumption in
this country is not as great as in the
United Kingdom. The total consump-

IN IRONICAL VEIN.

Senator Lodges bill providing for
the reorganization Of the consular SER
vice has been shorn by the Committee
on Foreign Relations of it's most in
cendiary and detestable features-the
provision for examining candidates
for appointment, and this still more
Objectionable section:
THAT whenever d vacancy shall
occur in the Office Of consul general,
or consul above the sixth (S4,000) class.
members Of the two classes next below
that in which the vacancy occurred
shall be deemed eligible to be selecte
to fill such vacancy.
This was a pa1Dable attempt TO en-
graft the merit and promotion system
7non The consular service, and thereby
to deprive national Ga~-makers OF their
ancient sacred right to assist the Presi-
dent in selecting consuls general and
high-sa1aried consuls. A majority of
the committee regard it as the sordid
injection Of commercialism into pure
~ political matter, on the f1imsy pre-
tence that TIE consular service is a
business institution.
If the Committee on Foreign Re1a-
tons had permitted this section to
stand, It would have been an abject cap
itulation to the force that are sur
reptitious1y ro'ebing Congress OF its
patronage powers. The idea that
young corsu1s that have made good re-
cords should be promoted and that

Of eStimable people, but for our own

Virtuous fowl and therefore will we
do our best to believe it. There are

AS fighters, while bees are brave
enough, they are unable to strike more
than single blow against any Of their
more dangerous foes, dying themselves
as result of it, while the foes, after
bowling with pain for bit, calm down
and hunt more honey. 1t is almost
incredible, therefore, that a creature
incapable Of seeing the futility Of work
carried to an absurd extreme only for
the profit Of human robbers should be
able SO quickly to draw an inference

will not question the story from Aus

will take few of our ants down there
and prove that they, also, are indus
trious only because they have to be

prominent citizens recommended by
legislators should accept paltry places
at the foot of the list was intensely
repugnant to the Senatorial sense. AS
statesmen representing watchful and ex-
pectant constituents, many of whom eX-
ercise valuable influence in behalf of
their party, they could not consent to
closing the door Of hope. Every Con-
gressional di"trict has its share of
elderly and highminded students of the
worlds affairs, men who may have been
rudely buffeted by fortune and who
cherish the hope of lodging further
cruel strokes by landing in pleasant
consulate. They are men who have
done yeoman service for their party,
and often they retain connections that
can not be ignored. Are these to be
superseded and thrust aside by pop
injays? Are the oxen that tread out
the corn TO be muzz1ed? Is the occurs
ed thirst for gold to commercialize the
honorable office of consul, SO long the
haven Of ancient mariners tempest
tossed on chartless political seas, the
asylum Of Indulgence, the badge Of de-
cayed gentility?
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations will not have it so. That
committee, consulting it's bowels OF

of rewarding the faithful with the fat
test consular places. L1l

Famous for Artificial Noses.

The city Of lndore is modern and
ugly and uninteresting. Apart from
being the prosperous capital Of rich
native state, its chief claim to motor
iety rests upon its hospital, which has
won universal fame by the manufac-
ture of artificial noses. That may
seem very limited industry On which
to build a name. But in India there
are several ways of promoting this in

The cheerful man sees that every

and that every evil has its compensat-

A habit of cheerfulness enables one
to transmute apparent misfortunes into

He who has formed habit of look

has great advantage over the chronic

The cheerful mans thought sculp-

sense of humor that enabled him to
stand under the terrible load of the
Civil War.
