Smith street at noon today, was
stopped by a number of structural

Mr.. Reinhard, who is employed by

they threatened to use violence. AS
he has considerable work yet to fin

WARNED ABOUT
LAND SHARKS.

real estate speculator from New
ark visited the tax collectors office
in city hall yesterday and looked over
the list of lands to be placed on sale
next Thursday for unpaid taxes.
This should be a warning to the
present owners of such lands, the
collector said today, for if sharks buy
up the properties they charge all they
can get when they sell back to the
former owners. There instances where
the same game has been worked be-
fore in this city, and the innocent
people who buy back the property
have suffered considerable loss.
The properties are scheduled to be
sold next Thursday morning at 10
O'Clock at city hall.

THE TRADE RAT.
odd Ways cf This Peculiar Little
 California kodent.

California Houent.
 One of the oldest little animals In existence Is She California wood rat, better known as the trade rat" It owes the latter name to the fact that, though it is a great thief, it never steals anything without putting something else in Its place. It Is said that a paste pot which had been left overnight ia the assay office of q silver mine in that state was found in the morning with the oldest collection of rubbish. This wns the work of trade rats. They had stolen the paste and left in exchange piece of stick, 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 steal and collect.
 Tn Lindsay's Mind In Lower Ami. mals" description is given of n trade rats nest found in an unoccupled house. The outside was composed en- tirely 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 tobacco, an old purse, quantity of small carpenters tools, Including several augers, 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
 The trade rat has its South American counterpart in the viscacha, a pretty little relative of the chinchilla, which lives in families of twenty or thirty on the pampas. Everything that takes It's fancy and Is portable is carried by the yiscacha and piled in neat little heaps at the mouth of its burrow. If a ranch man drops his watch or any similar article he always searches the viscacha burrows In the neighborhood and gen erally finds his lost property.-Chicago News.

 der of CannibaIs.
 An obscure race may possibly be the true aborigines of Africa south of the Zambezi.
 These are the Kattea, or Vaalpens. as they are nicknamed by the Boers on account of the dusty color their aOdo- men acquires from the habit of creep Ing into holes in the ground, who live In the steppes region of the north Transyaal as far as the Limpopo.
 AS their complexion Is almost a pitch black and their stature only about four feet, they are quite distinct from their tall Bantu nelghbors and from the yellowish Bushmen.
 The dogs" or "vutures," as the Zu- lus call them, are the lowest of the low" being undoubtedly cannibals and often making meal of their own aged and infrm, which the Bushmen never do.
 Their habitations are holes in the ground. rock shelters and lately a few novels. They have no arts or indus tries or even any weapons except those obtained In exchange for ostrich feathers, skins or ivory.
 Whether they have any religious ideas 1t is impossible to say, all inter- course being restricted to barter car ried on in gesture language. for no- body has ever yet mastered their tongue, all that Is known of their Ian guage being that 1t is absolutely dis tinct from that of both the Eastman and the Bantu.
 There are no tribes, merely little family groups of from thirty to fifty individuals, each of which Is presided over by headman, whose functions are acquired not by heredlty, but by personal qualities.
 So little information Is available con cerning the Kattea that 1t Is impossi- ble to say anything about their racial affinities. American.
