BUSHY TAILED RATS.

 They Can Carry Away.

They Will Steal Anything Bright That
 They Can Carry Away.
 In the west and north as far as Hud- son bay a species of rat is found that has tail like the squirrel and is known as the bushy tailed rat. al, though more familiarly as the pack rat because of the curious trait it has of packing off with everything it can get hold of and carry. One reads a great many things regarding the intel ligence of rats, but from all accounts these pack rats seem to be the clever est of the race.
 Trappers and campers out tell ill numerable stories about them. They will steal knives, forks. spoons, any thing. in fact, that is bright and porta. ble. and will carry the stolen articles to their nests to play with or take them somewhere and leave them ill place of other articles they steal. Dr. Merriam. the naturalist. was told q story by hunter which illustrated this odd fancy of the pack rat.
 The hunter had gone to sleep, leav' ing a knife sticking in log. He was awakened in the night by noise which he discovered by the light of the campfire was made by couple ot pack rats sitting on the log in which the hunter had left the knife. The knife was gone and the rats were try ing to put stick about a foot long iI its place. They were making an eff fort to get the stick to stand up in the crack. but not having the skill to ill sert it properly it fell repeatedly. mak ing the odd sound which had disturbed and awakened the owner of the knife New York Sun.

As Koreans Shop.

Shopping in Korea is very grave and solemn task and occupies the mas ter of the house the greater part of the day. In the market here he pur- chases his provisions. cooking utensils. linen suits. hats. sandals. tobacco. and the native drink. liquor obtained from fermented rice. Only one article of tue same kind Is purchased from a single store. It would be an offense against Korean etiquette to buy a dozen at time as this would de- plete the stock too quickly and give the shopkeeper the trouble and work of restocking before lie was ready! It will therefore be seen that wholesale orders are not welcomed in this odd country: little and often" appears to be the Golden Rule in buying. Wide World Magazine.

Origin of king's Counsel.

Kings counsel has the great Bacon as tue founder of the order. He had no inclination to be made a ''serjean and persuaded Queen Elizabeth to ap- point him 'queen's counsel extraordi- nary" James l. granted to Bacon a pat. ent. confirming his status as "one of our counsel learned in the law" as K. C.'s are still officially designated. An annual salary of f40 was originally attached to the position and was re- ceived by all silks" down to 1881, when parliament abolished the salary, together with the allowance for sta tionery and bags. The receipt of a salary by K. C.'s meant that they had accepted an office of profit under the crown and those who were mem- bers of parliament had to seek re-elec- tion.-London Tatler

NO NEED TO NAME HER.
The Relative Who Never Abandons One Afflicted With Insanity.


 "It's funny thing about lunatic's relatives" said the superintendent of an insane asylum. There are reliable statistics about the way lnnatics relatives stand by him..
 "The relative who stands by lunatic least. who stops visiting him in the asylum first of all. is a brother. The next relative to drop off is a wife. That sounds hard. but it's true. Don't count on your wife if you are going to become lunatic. Next husbands drop off. A little truer than wives hus- bands are. but only little. Next fa- thers abandon the lunatic. next sisters.
 "One relative never abandons him. Till she dies, or he dies. she comes regularly on visiting day. bringing un- derwear and ties. cakes and tobacco provided. of course. that the iunatic's a male. If it's female this relative is equally faithful. And even though as sometimes happens. the poor. mad creature hates her. curses her, tries to strike her when she visits him. she still remains faithful. When her visits cease they cease for only one reason death.

There 10 . Tremendous Trade Ia These
 Cedar Wood RecsptaeIss.
 Cigar boxes are a negligible quantity to the average smoker who stands be- fore a tastily dressed showcase and buys five cent straight" or three for q quarter" Few of even the most inveterate smokers ever stop to think of the number of these boxes used in the United States during a year. or from where they come.
 Thirty millions Is the total number of boxes supplied to cigar manufactur- CTS in the United States. Many mil. lions more enter the country filled with foreign rolled cigars from Cuba. Porto Rico and the. Philippines. Manufactur- CTS declare that the boxes made from Spanish cedar, a wood which is rarely seen outside of Cuba. is the best for packing the seductive weed.
 Various woods have been tried. but wherever used connoisseurs have pro- tested that even the finest of cigars were spoiled by putting them in boxes made from other wood than Spanish cedar. This wood always retains the flavor of a good cigar. and some assert that it greatly improves the flavor. The reason given is that the Spanish cedar grows only in that soil which produces the finest quality of what is known as Havana Washing ton Star.

PERSIAN OPIUM.
Turning tho Poppy Juice Into Dried
 Cakes For Export.

Persian opium juice is sold in large copper vessels by the grower to the merchant, in whose hands 1t undergoes several processes in order to preserve it from fermentation and decay. On sunny, fine, hot days the Persian cara vanseries. where opium dealers have their magazines. present an interesting picture. The juice is brought out to be prepared into cakes for export.
 On large wooden boards, two and half feet long and one and half feet broad. the sticky mass is spread out with spade-like tools to permit the water 1t contains to evaporate. Ex- perienced workers move from board to board. turning over the layers every now and then. that the heat and sun may dry up the exposed surfaces and render the opium fit for making into cakes. In favorable weather this proc ess takes only an hour or so. and the opium is ready for the next manipula- tion.
 1t is now scraped off and is rolled into stiff, dough-like Jumps and handed to a man who divides it into smaller portions. weighing one pound each. which he passes on to holders, by whom they are pressed into the wood- ell forms and then laid on large board for the final drying process. When this is completed the cakes are rolled up in red paper imported spe- cially from China. One hundred and forty-four are put in tin lined wooden cases are covered with strong hides and sacking.
