Objected to Diet of Rats.

The wife of a Lincolnshire ia0ore7
and ratcatcher was granted a separa-
ton recently on the ground, amongst
others, that her husband neglected
to provide proper food. He brought
home rats to feed himself, the family.
and the dog and cat upon. He skinned
the rats and had them roasted for
dinner, making his wife stuff them
with sage and onions. She refused
to eat them, but Hodgson and the
children did. She had, however
helped to eat pie which che made by
his orders with rats brought home
for the purpose.-Pall Mall Gazette,

The dining room OF the Royal Hotel
which has been closed since last Sat
urday will be opened again within the
next two or three days. Under une
new arrangements which have been
made 1t will be under the manage
ment of Andy Tong, who was until

existence the establishment ran
heavily into debt. Tong, who was
absent In California during this time
allowed the place to be closed imme-
diately upon his return, or as soon
as he learned of the condition affairs
were in.
Under the present arrangement
Tong assumes all debts contracted
under ais joint ownership with Ger
main and all accounts, due the estab
lishment are payable to him. The
former employees OF the place will
be re-instated and the dining room
will be conducted in first class man
ner. In view OF his success in past
undertakings there is no doubt but
that Tong will make a success of the
venture.

fifty miles on Mexican soil and then
re-enter the United States" said he.
Il am not seeking any concession ex-
cept the one mentioned and have new

runs through Imperial valley. an ex-
tremely rich region. and which, with
proper facilities, will become a great
