RATS ON PAYROLL.
Are Good Judges of the Quality of
 Ivory.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The ivory dealer pointed to half dozen rats gnawing among the yellow heaps of tusks and ivory fragments in the garret.
 "They are quite tame, you see,' he said. why shouldn't they be so? The fact is they are on my pay roll. They work for me. Their wages are pound of cheese and loaf of bread a week.
 Ivory dealers like rats, for rats are ivory's best judges, and without their help we should often want higher price for bad tusk than for fine one."
 He took fragment of ivory from the floor and pointed to certain small fur rows in it's surface
 "The rats did that" he said. Those furrows are a proof of the ivory's ex- cellence. Rats gnaw the ivory that con- tains animal glue, or gelatine, sub stance of which they are fond. and this substance 1t is that makes ivory excel- lent, yet mere man cant tell whether a tusl contains 1t or not"
 "'The rats can tell. They are ivory ex- perts and they work so cheap-why don't they form a union?'

True PoIlteness.

From the New York Times.
 A little maiden of somewhere between 10 and 12 summers, and becomingly garbed in a pink silk tea gown, sat down at an escritoire fin the palm room of the Wal dorf- Astoria hotel the other afternoon to write letter. Among number of pens she promptly selected one that stood out distinguished from it's fellows; in short, 1t was a pocket pen, richly enchased. Presently a man hurried up to where she was seated, and, glancing hastily over her shoulders with an anxious look, said:
 "Ah, you will pardon me, my little girl, but you have my pen. left 1t here thoughtessly a few minutes ago, you know"
 "Oh, is 1t yours?" she said, turning and looking up at the stranger with be- witching smile. "It is such a lovely pen. Won't you please allow me to finish my letter with it?''
 :Why, certainly my dear" the owner obligingly consented; but you won't Do long, will you?" 'li
 "Oh, no; just a minute. I'm writing to papa"
 The owner of the pen therewitp sat down on a nearby lounge and waited pa tiently until Mademoselle finished her letter.

 Touch of Unusual Excitement

Two men drove by my house a minute ago. stopped under a big tree. got out and ran around like somebody was after them.' This was repeated from every direction, north and south.
 Then the power house current began to give out. First, the Southside cur rent was turned off, then the trolley cars came suddenly to stop; and in a few moments arc lights and everything was out except tke incandescent lights in few blocks at the center of the city.
 At Il o'clock tLe expected happened. and the fire alarm was turned in for Twenty street and Tenth avenue, north. Chief Bennett, who was at the water works office. hurried to the scene, and put his men to work protecting the negro cabins as best he could. The flames. unchecked by water, went high in the air, and lighted the whole northern hori- zon.
 Three little cottages went up like kind ling. but work with a little stream that could be pumped from the pipes, and th5 chemical engines stopped the spread AAod lHc lic lOl LGen Cn6Cheu HtTe, the whole Northside might have burned.
 At the same time the theatres turned out. People ewho had been innocently watching the plays stood on the street corners for a half hour in droves, until someone called up and discovered the trouble. A rush was made for the hacks, and numbers of couples were forced to ride home to the South Highlands in drays of the transfer companies.
 There was one class of workmen who w,re due at their places lat o'clock that took the wind In their sails, and came to Birmingham flying on skates. A large party from East Lake did not wait for cars, but covered the whole dis ta.nce on roller skates and were at work in due time.
 For moment the few lights that were burning flickered, nearly went out. and then flared up again.
 Rushing, rumbling, bubbling and dan- cinC, the little power that moves the wheels of life, came bounding along the pipes, flowed from the open hydrants. filled the boilers, turned the machinery, clear and pure as ever, laughing in the cup, and laveing the hot hands.
 A party of pipemen, groping in the dark, had finally come upon great fiooL rushing along the ditch toward the west. After tracing 1t long distance they found it's head at Thirteenth street anl Powell avenue, where one of the big mains had burst, and all the water that supplies Birmingham was rushing off down the wrong channel, wasting it's strength on the desert air.
 The welcome sound was heard at about 12:S) o'clock. and in fifteen minutes that part Of the main had been cut out, and bya different course the water was back in its channel of usefulness.

brought in two or three miles. The work of the courts would be cramped and slow, and half the time would be spent in waiting. Instead of clearing up the dockets, and lessenng the laws delay. 1t would be doubled.
 ''There are numerous other objections, one of them being that while the sky scraper is given up to be the only escape proof jail of modern times, no one would harly think of building a skyscraper in the country, but the advantages of build ing on the present site are many fold.
 Let the county erect an eight or nine- story jail, where "blg rock" now stands, fl it up with all the modern safeties and conveniences, with proper sanitary and plumbing arranEements, and will guar antee that the health and conditions would be all that could be desired.

The hydrant was opened. There came gursling sound, a few drops of water, and no more. The man stared in surprise, looked around the room for ghosts and gave the innocent pipe shake.

 At the furnace the engineer looked up al his water gauge and the pointer reg istered O. The boilers were empty, and the fires He did not swear, no. he did not swear, he did not swear.
 The fireman, half covered with rain coat, thrown on carelessly, screwed the hose to the plug, turned the hydrant on, heard no noise of gushing water, looked down amazed. sat on the curbstone, rub bed his sleepy eyes. looked off at the flames mounting to the heavens, and won dered if he were awake.
 The commander of the great boilers at the power house, saw the gauge fall low CT and lower, and felt the whole city resting on his shoulders He ordered the whole gang of stokers to bank up quickly.
 Then the water trickled, and trickled and trick and was no more.
 About this time the city was up in arms. Men in overals, managers, men upon whom hundreds waited, men who wanted to wash their teeth, men ready to fight stood at the telephone Every faIa rI 4.fo
