Rats, Plague Carriers Of india.

Before plague makes fts appearance
In house the rat mortality generally
gives warning and case occurs
among the people in a house near
which rats have been found. The peo-
pie have now come to know that there
is some connection between the rat
mortality and the occurrence Of
plague cases in certain locality. The
rats go about from one place to an
otner and they carry infection from
place to place and render the task Of
controlling plague, when it is once
spread, very difficult. 1t therefore
necessary that the public should CO.
operate with the health department to
destroy as many rats as possible. The
rains have now stopped, and, as it is
the breeding season for rats, the pres
ent is the fittest occasion for a cam.
paign against rats.-Bombay Gazette.

We were visited Sunday by one
of the worst storms we have had
in years. On Sunday afternoon
rain began to fall which a little
latter turned to snow and kept up
for three days. Several parties
were caught on the lake in the
storm and were forced to seek
shelter at the nearest place, several
not arriving home until Monday,
while others beached their boats
and walked home in the slush.

mans Companion In Cage

The manager of wild animal show
was so unfortunate as to lose by death
the only lion in his collection. After
trying in vain to replace the loss he
finally secured an Irishman to appear
In his exhibition on all tours in the
lions cage, wrapped in the dead
beasts skin. This plan worked well
enough for a while, and the public
was fooled. One night, however, it be-
came necessary, in the course of one
performance, for the lion to enter the
tigers cage. Pat pleaded strenuously
Jehind the scenes against being sent
into the other maneater's presence;
bat his employer was unyielding, as
curing him repeatedly that the tiger
was harmless. Though well-nigh dead
with fear, Pat, after long and vigorous
persuasion, at last crawled into the
tigers cage. No sooner was he in the
cage than he lost what little courage
he had left, and lay down, calling in a
hoarse whisper, please don't bite me:
( amt no lion; Pm an Irishman.' The
tiger appeared thoroughly disguised
and in moment he growled back,

the most prejudiced minds are

less reason to maintain their DO

in the broad field of diversity of
opinion, it shows its most hideous
form in religious and political ac-

prejudiced mind is confined to
the narrow limits of a certain

lamentable facts in regard to our
schools. If the ebb of education
al enthusiasm is not lower in
Adair county than in any other
county in the state, that county
that stands lower is to be pitied
indeed. We can only say one
thing in favor of a majority of
our school houses and that is,
the fact that they are we'll venti-
lated. The greater number of our
schools houses are miserable old
hullS that would not make de-
cent cow stables. There are but
very few school houses that have
patent seats and the most of
them have IL or Is old rickety,
knife carved excuses for seats
that may have looked a little like
a school desk and seat quarter
OF century ago, but bear but
little resemblance of one now.
The school law provides for a
seat just long enough to accom-
modate two pupils. We know
OF one school house in which all
Of the seats are IL and IA feet
long and the children are COM
PEELED to climb in and out over
each other in going to and from
their seats. Most of the black
boards have not been painted in

much better if they used ssfire

conditions exist? The answer is
