a swarm of rodents was at work. Then
one morning the wG-ehouseman en-

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 dodred 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

The animal is supposed to be spe-

The city of Indore is modern and

being the prosperous capital of a rich
native state, its chief claim to motor

ture of artificial noses. That may
seem a very limited industry on which
to build a name But in India there

OUR SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
Beet Sugar Nov More Than HaH 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
far the largest single item in this larg-
est importation whicn the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The L tied States is increasing
steadily and rapidly its 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 10 year.
It has doubled in the last twenty years,
while population meantime increased
but so per cent. The annual average
importation during the fiye-year period
ending with 1885 was I,03l,14 tons,
and diving the five-year period ending
with 1905 the annual average was 9. JOG.
O43 tons, despite the fact that the sugar
production at home had grown from
176. OBS tons in 1885 to approximately
100000 tons in 1905.
The United States Is the largest
sugar-consumlng country in the world,
though the per capita consumption In
this country is not as great as in the
United Kingdom. The total consump-

the reorganization of the consular SER
vice has been shorn by the Committee
on Foreign Relations of its most in

provision for examining candidates

Objectionable section:

occur in the office of consul general,
or consul above the sixth (s4 ,0O0) class,
members of the two classes next below

This was a palpable attempt to en-
graft the merit and promotion system
upon the consular service, and thereby
to deprive national lawmakers OF their
ancient sacred right to assist the Presi
dent in selecting consuls general and
high-salaried consuls. A majority of
the committee regard it as the sordid
injection Of commercialism into a pure
w political matter, on the flimsy pre-

their concert given at the opera house
last Thursday evening. The enter

have stood, but the way that crowd
jostled Teller round was sin to-

there I got to watchin' that endless
percession of folks as was rushin' by
in both directions. So asked fell
Ter as come along on crutches what
was goin' on, SEEM there was so many
people in town. ''Is it Barnum or
Ringling Brothers?" ses I. Well, sir,
that Teller jest locked at me about S
seconds, and then he started to laugh
and hobbled off.
And as stood there I got to think
in what heap lot of humans there is
on this 'ere round lump of dirt any
way, and as how US fellers in Kandi-
yohi county, Minnesota, weren't the
only pebbles on the beach nohow.
Well, sir, there was long men and
there was fat men; there was slick fell
lers and there was rough ones; there
was fussy old ladies and struttin'
'ciety women; there was long-haired
purfessers and peanut headed dudes;
there was grimy workin' men and frig-
id-faced millionaires; there was red
nosed cronies and moon-eyed China
men; there was black faces and pale
faces; bungled-up faces and painted
faces; there was-well, there was simp-
ly all kinds of people. And there I
stood and nary one as seemed even
to know that your Uncle Silas was in
town.
And as I stood there a lookin' at
that rushin' stream of humans I got
to thinkin' as to what it were all for
anyhow. wondered if all those souls
knowed as where they we're goin' or
what they were at. 'Spect they must
have their joys and their sorrows same
as the rest of us. And as I stood
there I got a thinkin' till I forgot
where was myself. Suddenly I felt
as someone touched me, but when T

see no-one side me 'cept the Indian.
But there he stood with that ERE set
face, a scowlin' at the throng as it
pushed by. And then got to thinkin'

he'd become petrifed, scowl and all.
