DANISH THE RATS.
They Are Not Only Disease Carriers,
but Thieves as Well.

They Are Not Only Disease Carriers,
but Thieves as Well.
Almost unbelievable are some Of the
things done by the rat-the squealing,
filthy, gluttunous all pervading, all
destroying brown rat. Rats often gnaw
the hoofs of horses until the blood
comes They have been known to at
tack fat hogs and eat holes in their
bodies, causing death. They will fight
human beings If cornered. They often
steal valuable articles to use in build
ing nests.
The following were found in sin
gle nest: Three bedroom towels, two
serviettes, FIVE dust cloths, two pairs
of linen knickerbockers, six linen pock-
ct handkerchiefs and one silk handker-
chief. This same rat, which was a
model of industry and thrift, had car
ried away and stored near its nest q
pound and half of sugar, pudding,
a stalk of celery, beet, carrots, tur-
nips and potatoes.
In the last dozen years over 5000,-
900 human beings have died of plague.
In India alone. The India plague COM
mission, after careful inquiry, found
that bubonic plague In man Is entirely
dependent on the disease in the rat!
Marvellous In its destructiveness Is
the common house mouse, closely re-
lated to the rat, and, like it. imported
from Europe. The field mouse, too, is
highly destructive, the most destruc-
tive to agriculture of all the rodents

Missed the Bird and Lost.

lar incident during lawn tennis tie
The two players, who may be term
ed A and B, were very evenly match
cd. The game was long, and some-
times one aad sometimes the other
narrowly led. At length when A was
within a stroke of defeat he returned
bali softly, and 1t looked as If his
fate was sealed. SO it would have
been, but just at that moment bird
flew across the court In line parallel
with the ball.
AS all good tennis players can well
understand, b mistook the bird for
the ball and smashed" at 1t vigorous
Iy. II swiftly rose and he missed 1t
by a feathers breadth, and ere he
could recover his balance the ball had
dropped on his court
This stroke proved the turning point
in the tie, as A thereafter played up
strongly and ran out winner

DoDGED THE WAsPs.
Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped a Stinaine.


Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped Singing.
A man ON his first trip into the wilds
and marshes of an unknown country
with the United States drainage engi-
neers was struck by unique method
they have to escape from the attack
of wasps and hornets. The country
traversed is generally covered with
thick underground, and path has to
be cut through this all along the line.
So when big wasp nest is reached
there Is very little warning, some
times the axmen cutting into big one
with their machetes.
The person relating this experience
was some sixty feet behind the AK
men with the instrument when all
at once the two axmen dropped In
their tracks as If they had been struck
by a thunderbot. The man behind
and the two chainmen did likewise.
While they were lying prone on the
grass and wet marsh they heard what
sounded like bullets zoolng over their
heads. One after the other they came
with angry zips. When things had
quieted down bit work was con-
tinued, and the new man found that
to escape from wasps or hornets the
thing to do was to drop instanter.
The insects seem to be so mad that
they fly in straight lines along a
level and do not have time to hunt
around for you.
1t is said that hornets are not so
prone to follow this rule as wasps,
but the wasps never vary. Men have
been stung to death by hornets, and
horses and mules likewise.-Chicagc

II they learn the art of chewing
even people whose food expense is only

to dietetic experts, is one who chews
all things so long as they have any
taste left in them. Gladstone, we are
told used to take thlrty-two bites to

school of chewers would regard this
as dangerously rapid eating. II have

NAMING A TOWN.
Concord Was Selected After Fifty
Years of Controversy.

Years OF Controversy.
The name of Concord, n. H., was
given to the town after controversy
which lasted fifty years. In 1725 the
land now within its bounds was grant
ed to the colonists under the name OF
Peacock by the colony of Massachu-
sets: This claim was disputed by the
colony of New Hampshire, which two
years later granted this same land to
the township of Bow. 1873 Massachu-
sets incorporated Peacock into a
township named Rumford, and for
more than forty years fierce legal
controversy was carried on. No agree
ment could be reached, and the mat
ter was taken to the authorities In
England, but even then there was no
satisfactory nor permanent settlement.
In the face Of an evident ,leaning
toward the claims Of Bow, both In
England and In America, the little
band of colonists in Rumford fought
on .vallantly, and in 17G5 an act OF
incorporation was granted to the in
habitants of Rumford. This was still
highly unsatisfactory because 1t only
made them parish in the town OF
Bow.
The controversy continued until 1774,
when 1t was finally settled and an
independent town was formed under
the name of Concord. 1t was due to
the devotion of the little band of
settlers to their cause and the unity
which existed among them that the
independent incorporation Of the town
was finally, obtained, and 1t was emil
nently fitting that the concord which
existed between them during the strug-
gle of nearly fifty years should be
memorialized in their towns name

FATHER or PHREN0LOGY.
Dr.. Gall at One Time Had the Whole
of Europe In a Furore.

Dr.. Gall at One Time Had the Whole
of Europe In Furore.
The first public notice of the Father
of Phrenology' appeared in Weiland's
"Dutch Mercury" on Aug. II, 1898.
Gall was practicing physician of
Vienna, and early In his career he be-
came a firm believer In the idea that
the talents and disposition of men are
dependent upon the functions of the
brain and, furthermore, that they may
be inferred with perfect exactitude
and precision from the external ap-
pearances of the skull.
Gall was an able man. He set forth
his theory in graphic, unctuous man
ner, and In very brief period he had
all Europe at the top notch of excite
ment. The idea spread like wildfre,
and in all grades of society people
were discussing "the greatest of all
discoveries" The new theory had to
meet the customary opposition from
the custodians of truth and the pre-.
servers Of morality, but the opposition
only increased the popularity of the
theory, and Calls celebrity increased
by leaps and bounds. His lectures
were interdicted, and he was threaten
ed with the direst penalties unless he
ceased his Immoral and atheisticaP
teachings, but he kept on with his
propaganda, visiting all the large towns
of Germany and the continent, and by
1906 all of Europe was interested in
the Vienna doctor.
In 1928, the year Of Calls death,
phrenology was In vogue everywhere.
But after great and glorious food
tide of popularity 1t began to wane,
and today it Is but seldom heard Of
