A Curious Receipt.

Hanover's registrar discovered
very curious document some time ago
as he was looking through a bundle of
papers that date back to the eight
eenth century. The document is re-
ceipt-probably the only one Of its
kind in existence-which was given to
a Hanoverian captain by canon of
Duisburg during the Seven Years war.
Il, the undersigned" it reads, ''here-
by acknowledge that l have received

Mr.. Reader Harris, X. c.. was once
offered brief marked 80 guineas on
behalf Of Il railway company that
wished to obtain a refreshment license
for a particular railway station. He
returned the brief on conscientious
grounds, but later ON it was sent back
to him with a fee of 100 guineas
marked on it, This time he returned
it with a note in which he explained
that his refusal was due to a matter
of principle Subsequently he met one
of the directors of the company and
expressed a hope that he and his col
leagues were not annoyed at his con-
duct.

washington's High Priced shad.

Washington's steward was a man
named Fraunces, who liked good liv
ing and with whom Washington con-
tinually Quarreled about the market
ing. One time he bought shad in
February, and as Washington saw it
coming into the dining room he was
charmed and asked what fish it was.
1T is a shad." replied the steward,
80 very fine shad 1t was the only
one in the market. and l bought it for
you"
But what did you pay for it?' said
Washington sternly.
at is a verS fine shad," continued
the steward, land it is cooked to a
turn"
But / want to know the price-the
pricer'
sit cost 49," stammered out Fraunees.
''Take it away" said Washington as
he raised his hand; take it away. 1t
shall never be said that set such an
example Of luxury and extravaganza"
And with that he drove the steward
out Of the room. and the shad was
eaten in the servants kitchen.

THE RAT KING.
His Method Was Successful, but Il
Remains a Secret.


In the early sixties of the last cen-
fury the Smithsonian institution was
infested with rats, Nothing in the
building seemed to be rat proof. They
ate skins cured with arsenical soap or
table linen or the contents of Professor
Henry's pantry without discrimination.
Every one in the city, from Professor
Henry to the bootblack, had one sub
iect in common, and that was rats"
AS Professor Henry, who lived in
the east end of the building. was lis
tening to an account Of the ruin
wrought in his home during that day
Professor Spencer Baird walked in
and said, Just as if he had been fol-
lowing every word of the family con-
versation, Il have just been told that
there is Il man in Philadelphia who
can rid this place of rats"
Professor Henry's eyes expressed
interest and incredulity at the same
moment,
Il have his address here" went on
the assistant secretary. ''He calls
himself the 'ratten kong and won't
take cent,if rat remains and has
'We'll send for him if it takes our
last thousand cents to do it.' said
Professor Henry and laughingly pre-
dicted the repetition of the famous old
tale OF the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Several days later the rat king
appeared in Washington. He was al
most as short as he was broad and
wore clothes too loose for description;
they had no shape. He carried large
oilcloth sack and a covered basket.
His penetrating blue eyes were almost
covered by shaggy eyebrows, and his
blond hair had not been cut but hag-
gled. His manner was short and
brisk, and he went straight to the
point, talking to Professor Henry in
German
He declared that not rat would be
in the building three days hence if his
directions were obeyed. During that
time he would stay in the basement
alone; every door was to be locked
and on no account was he to be dis
turbed until he gave them the signal.
So they left him in absolute darkness
and carried out his directions.
On Sunday morning the queer old
man emerged from the darkness so
confident of his success that he re
fused to accept the money which was
his due then and there, but insisted
that Professor Henry mail the check
to him in Philadelphia the following
week
"Now you can leave your food in the
and it won't be touched.
And I won't take a cent if you are
troubled with rats" were his parting
words.
Cheese and cake were directly placed
about the building to tempt the rats
Morning after morning they were
found as they had been left. and from
that day to this the Smithsonian insti-
tuition has never been seriously trOu-
bled with rats. And no one has ever
found out the secret of the "rat kings

She Liked SIX Hosiery.

Susan B. Anthony was a woman Of
simple taste in dress, but her close
friends knew of one pretty feminine
vanity that she always held to. She
had weakness for silk stockings. Be
ing pressed on one occasion for an ex-
pIanation Of what most women at one
time regarded as an unnecessary ex-
travagance, she laughingly exclaimed:
"Oh. / just love 'em. They are an in

RACE WAGERs IN INDIA.
Natives Method of Choosing a Winner
and Making Bets.


The native of India wagers his
money according to the colors worn
hy the Jockeys and takes no heed of
the merits Of the horses, or he win
back horse ridden by his favorite
Jockey, no matter whether the animal
is rank outsider or not.
His ideas Of gambling, in fact, are
distinctly novel Some Of the more
wealthy Indians form rings and back
every horse in the race, thus gaining
the satisfaction Of getting a winner
every time. 1t is really only of late
years that the native Of India has be-
come a habitual gambler on the turf,
and nowadays the bulk of the betting
of the various racing centers in India
is done by natives, Indeed. the au-
thorities are somewhat concerned about
the growth of the betting which takes
place among Indian natives, 1t being
asserted that as many as thirty lacs
of rupees about f300.000 is lost and
won in the course of a season.
The ignorant masses have not a
great deal Of actual money to wager,
hut so badly bitten are many OF them
with the craze for betting at race meet
ings that they frequently wager what
little property they possess on a horse,
and if they lose they simply replace
their loss by stealing a neighbor'S
goods. The consequence is that when
The racing season comes around the
police are kept very busy dealing with
cases Of petty larceny and other crimes
Involving loss Of property.-London
