Big Rats of Wheeling.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin could
reap fortune were he to spend day
in this city, says a Wheeling CIV. Va.)
correspondent. Rats as large as good
sized cats are swarm1ng in the mills
of this city, and in several the work
men have threatened to walk out un-
less the invasion is checked.
Some of the tales are wonderful to
relate. In one factory, according to
well authenticated reports, a rat was
seen to take tin pail in one of it's
paws and trot away on the other
three feet. Another deftly took the
lid off pail in order to get at the
goodies he knew were inside. Another
dragged dinner basket by his tail,
but was unable to get the basket
down the rat hole, so he got behind a
barrel to investigate his plumber.
The workmen declare they cannot
brighten the rodents away, for they
show fight. The amazing stories of
boldness on the part of the rats grow
with each repetition, but there is no
question that the rats do eat the la
borers' dinners and that there is indig-
nation as result.

Horse Had Manners.

One of st. Johnsbury's best-known
characters and one who has had name
and fame perpetuated by having a
likeness of himself and team printed
ON a colored post card, is Orville Law
renee, formerly associated with the
late Russell Sage on Wall street in the
early fifties, but being less fortunate
than Mr.. Sage he has become reduced
in circumstances, and now drives
around town in more or less dilapi-
dated looking outfit, says a writer in
the Boston Herald.
Orville's wit is keen and he always
has an answer ready for any of his
friends who attempted to chat him.
One day Orville appeared driving a
horse which interfered badly, and,
like its driver, had evidently seen bet
ter days.
A prominent business man of the
place accosted Orville with the re-
mark: Say Orville, your horse seems
to interfere some!" to which Orville
promptly replied: HE amt interior
ing with your business, is he?"

The situation In Switzerland, owing

revealed by the scant kilograms leav-
ing the country. The state of things
has rarely been so bad at this time Of

The uplands already lie two yards
deep under snow, and the mountain
villages of Simplon and other villages
are absolutely cut of from the rest
OF the country. An attempt has been
made in the Legislature to induce the
government to keep these passes open
all the year, but the cost was declared
to be prohibitory.

Nature "makes things beautiful in

sons, when life moves on NATURES lines
has it's OWL charm and beauty. Many
women dread that period when they
must experience changes of life. They
fear that face and form may suffer by
the change, and that they may fail to
please those whom they love. The
value of DR.. Pierce's FAvorite Pres
cription in this crisis of woman's life
lies in the fact that it assists nature.
tie use preserves the balance and buoy
ancy of mind and sustains the physi-
cal powers. Many women have ex-

nent. Not "patent medicines" be-
cause the ingredients are printed on
