FREAKS OF THE TRADE RAT.
He Mhjt Steal, but Ik Very Careful
to Ijoavc Something In Exchange.
One of the oddest little animals In
existence Is the California wood rat,
bettor known as the "trade rat." It
owes the latter name, ways the
Strand, to the fact that, though it Is
a great thief, it never steals anything
without putting something
else in its place.
The story Is told of a paste pot
which hod been left over night in the
assay office at the Silver Queen .Mitie,
and which was found .in the morning
filled with the oddest collection of
rubbish.
A description Is given of a trade
rat's nest found in an unoccupied
houso. The outside was composed
entirely of iron spikes laid in perfect
symmetry, with the points outward.
Interlaced with the spikes were
about two dozen forks and spoons
and three large butcher knives.
There were also a large carrying
fork, knlfo and steel, several plugs
of tobacco, nn old purse, a quantity
of small carpenter ^ools, including
several augurs and a watch, of which
the outside casing, the glass, and the
works were nil distributed separately
so as to make the best show possible4.
Altogether the oddest collection.
None of these things was of any
earthly use to the rats. They must
have collected them just In the same
way that a child hoards up odds and
ends to play with.
Largest Cabbage Grower in llrllain.
John Gillies of Prestonpans may
fairly be termed tin- king <>l cabbage
growers. He sometimes turns out
2,r,00,000 cabbago plants In one day,
about 100 workpeople being engaged.
The ground cleared was between
six and seven acres, and seventeen
work horses wore employed
In carting, ploughing, and recropplng
the land us last as the plants
wero cleared off. The wages paid
range from 10s. to ?2 10s. per week.
The North British Railway Company
run a special train dally for the conveyance
of that portion of his plant
trafllc which Is distributed, per the
various passenger trains, to different
parts of the country. The heaviest
part of the cabbage plant traillc is,
of course, sent per ordinary goods
train. As to the turnout of full
grown cabbages, a recent day's output
was 3,100 dozens, and that
quantity Is often exceeded. Bast
year Mr. (llllies put on rail 3.KOO
dozen in one day. His turnout of
leek plants on one day recently was
upward of 300,000.? London TitBits.
Now Use for lOloctriclty.
The latest and, it will be thought
by man, one of tho best uses to
which electricity has been put, is the
destruction of the mosquito. Maurice
Chaulin of Paris Is t he man who lias
thought of electrocuting this most
obnoxious disturber of summer
peace. He has devised and patented
an apparatus with a cylindrical lantern
with two tings, suspended one
above the other and joined by parallel
and vertical chains. They arc con
nccted with the source of electricty,
which may be provided by a small
nceummulator lu such a fashion that
each of these little chains Is always
alive. In the center is some sort of ?
lamp that attracts those ardent lovers
of luminosity, tho mosquitoes
and gnats. They touch the chains,
| and that Instant is fatal to them.
They are neatly "short-circuited,"
and they buzz no more. They even
forget what they meant by all their
buzzing, or what occult reason they
had for Reeking the luminary. They
are dead and done for. This apparatus
can be placed in a room and the
proper owner of the chamber be in- <
sured a comfortable night.?The

Pish That Cannot Swim.
More than one species of fish is
met with that cannot swim, the mor
singular of which, perhaps, is the
maltha, a Brazilian fish,'whose organs
of locomotion only enable it to
crawl or walk or hop, sifter .the tnsmner
of a toad, to which animal this
fish to some extent hears a resemblance,
and it is provided with a
long, unturned snout. Other exam
pies of non-swimming fishes include
the sea horse, another most peculiar
ly shaped inhabitant of the sea, and
the starfish, of which there sire many
specimens which walk and crawl on
the shore and rocks, both being unable
to swim.?Exchange.
Porcelain's Fondness for Gold.
Attention has been en 1 lerl tr? tlio
fnot that In evaporating gold or all- i
ver solution in a porcelain basin, a
considerable amount of gold or silver
may be absorbed by the porcelain
itself. In the manufacture of <
chloride of gold it is customary to |
grind up all of the porcelain evaporating
basins, from which some of the ,
deficiency is recovered. ,
Coal Deposits of North America.
According to the American Manufacturer,
the coal deposits of North
America aro estimated to contain
nearly as much as those of Europe, ,
or 681,000,000 tons, but even this
gigantic figure is completely dwarfed
by Asia's wealth of coal, as to which
it is at present impossible to make
an even approximate estimate.
Will Buy Rails from Us.
The Toronto Street Railway administration
has decided not to procure
any more steel rails In England,
owing to the delay in filling orders, ,
caused by the use of a type of rails ,
differing from those manufactured
for the English market. Hereafter ,
they will send orders to the Ui^ited
States.

Pat was Invited to a wedding. He
arrived at the house faultlessly atilred
In full evening dress, a huge
white chrysanthemum adorning his

to the gentlemen's dressing-room.
The guests assembled below were

Iler Opinion of Mrs. Stowe.
Tt was only natural that In the
'.eechor family the name of Mrs.
larriet Beecher Rtowe was often
noted to the younger generation as
no having authority.
On one occasion a grandnlece of
Irs. Stowe became very angry at
no of her little playmates, and,
tamping her foot, said: "I hate you,
nd I don't want anything more to
o with you, nor your man-servant,
;or your maid-servant, nor your ox,
lor your ass."
Her mother, overhearing the outmrst,
sternly reproved iter offspring,
sklng if she knew what she was
aying.
Little Miss Beecher promptly rallied:
"Yes, tho Ten Comniandnents."
"Well, do you know who wrote
hem ?"
The child, looking much disgust
d, answered: "Goodness, yes I
Vunt Harriet did, I s'pose."
The Proud Father.
"Yes," said the old man, add resting
his young visitor, "I am proud of

AX INJUNCTION AT VARIATION.
After a While the Dog Understood
the Gmno and Played.
Torn L. Johnson of Cleveland In
his fight against a street railway tore
up sonio of the railway's tracks. An
Injunction was Borvud against hlin
and th"n he In his turn secured another
Injunction, says tho Washington
Star.
"We are llko the old lady and the
dog, with our Injunctions and mandamuses
and what not," said Mr.
Johnson the other day. "There was,
you know, an old lady who rented a
furnished villa for the summer, and
with the villa a largo dog also went.
In the sitting room of the villa there
was a comfortable arm chair. The
old lady liked this chair better than
any other In the house. She always
made for It the first thing.
"But, alas, she nearly always
found the chair occupied by the
largo dog. Being afraid of the dog
she never dared bid It harshly to get
out of the chair, as she feared that
it might bito her; but Instead she
would go to tho window and call
c;ais: *
"Then the dog would rush to the
window and bark and the old lady
would Blip Into the vacant chair
quietly.
"One day tho dog entered the
room and found the old lady in possession
of tho chair. Ho strolled
over to the window, and, looking
out, appeared much excited and sot
up a tremendous harking. .
"The old lady arose and hastened
to tho window to see what was the
matter and the dog quietly climbed
Into tho chair."
Had a Loup Root.
An Irishman, with one Jaw very
much swollen from a tooth that he
wished to havo pulled, entered the
oflice of a Washington dentist, says
Success.
When tho suffering Celt was put
Into the chair and saw the gleaming
forceps approaching his face, he positively
refused to open his mouth.
Being a man of resource, tHe dentist
quietly Instructed his assistant to
push a pin into the patient's leg, so
that, when tho Irishman opened his
mouth to yell the dentist could get
at the refractory molar.
When all wns over, the dentist
smilingly asked:
"It didn't hurt as much as you
expected, did it?"
"Well, no," reluctantly admitted
the patient. "But," ho added, as ho
rnn his hand over the place Into
which the assistant had inserted the
pin, "little did I think them 'roots
wiut that far down!"

to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
On one of Ills trips ho had for his
guide Bill Murray. They were out
looking for bear and deer one day,
wjion Murray suddenly threw up his
rifle and fired. The Senator saw an
animal fall heavily and called,
"We've got him this time, Bill."
"We!" sneered the guide. "There's
no we about It. I killed him plain
enough."
Quickly making their way to
whore their quarry lay, they found a
fine specimen of Jersey calf.
"We've killed somebody's calf!"
yelled the guide.

BATHE IX HOT 8TEA" |
Finns In n Maine Village Adhere to
Old Country Method*.
Finns, several hundred of whom
reside In the vicinity of Kong Cove.
In St. George, Knox County, and who
comprise a large proportion of the
avlng cutters and quarryiuen on the
;rauite works there, have a peculiar
method of' bathing. It has some
features of both the Turkish and
Russian baths, but the Finnish bath
is unique and rather curious. Whenever
any considerable number of the
nationality take up their residence
they build a bath always on tho
same plan. The Finnish bath house.
Is built substantially of wood, $nd la
about eight or ten feet Square, with
peaked roof. There Is <1 small vestibule,
with bench seats running on
two sides, where the bathers may
disrobe. The hath room Itself is
provided with a furnace of sotuowhat
crude masonry, with a circular
receptacle on top that Is filled
and heaped up with rounded and
smooth stones gathered from the
seashore.
When the apparatus is to be used,
says the Philadelphia Record, a fire
is lighted In the furnace and the
stones are heated until they are all
sizzling hot. Tnor the bathers enter
and close tho door and single window
and a small ventilation aperture
near the roof. Water Is th&n poured
over the hot stones, and Is at once
converted into steam, which fills the
room with a vapor at a temperature
so high that It is said that a novice
cannot stand tho heat, f^it the Finn*
who have practiced this /oft of bathing
all their lives, just enjoy It.
High up on one side of the room,
Just beneath the roof, is a wide
bench seat, extending all the way
across, on which the bathers Bit, and
where they get the full benefit of the
steam. Relow it. at a convenient distance,
is a plank on which they rest
their feet. And there they sit and
steam until their pores are opened
way up, scrubbing themselves with
small boughs cut from bushes and
trees and having thick foliage. These
peculiar towels are thoughtfully left
for the convenience of the next set
or bathers. Whether any supplenientary
drying process Is ever used,
we are not Informed.
While, as stated, there Is place
for disrobing, in which , Uie bathers
probably remain to cool after the
ordeal, the Finns generally prepare
themselves for it at home and go to
the bath with sheets wrapped about
the person. And evenings, as the
white forms fiit about the village,
one might suppose that a parade of
ghosts was in progress, or a sheet
and pillow case party was on. Saturday
evening is the time generally
favored for the ceremony, and on
that night the fires In the furnaces
are kept burning to a late hour.
Every Finn takes the bath at least
once a week?men, women, and children.
There are five of these bathhouses
In Long Cove village, and
some private residences are provided
with them.

A Few Irish IVovoJi.
The proverbs of a nalTOn ?r?
distilled wit of generations of its
people; and the true wit of the race
Is oftentimes in proportion to the
truth and beauty of Its proverbs.
Few nations and few languages possess
more beautiful sayings than the
Irish. "Tho silent mouth Is melodious,"
Is an Irish aphorism pregnant
with beauty and poetry. And
another saying, Inculcating a charity
which Is spiritually needed in this
modern world of ours, is that which
tells us "Our eyes should be blind In
I the abode of anothAr " "
i a uo ueauuful
faith and the magnificent optimism,
of the Irish race Is well pictured
In their proverb, "God never shuts
one door but He opens two." "Autumn
days come softly, quickly, like
the running of a hound upon a
moor," Is poetic, vivid truth. And
