first Appearances of Rats.
It is but little over a century
ago 1775 that the first brown
rat (the ordinary bouse rat) made
his appearance in America. He
went as a stowaway on shipboard,
either from India or Persia, or
possibly from some Mediterranean
port. Rats were unknown in Eu
rope until the middle of the eigh
teenth century. In every town
nnd village, and hatnlet iu the
United States, now the rat ia al
most as well known as the dog or
the cat, and the rodent population
must be far larger than either of
the others. So rapid is the increase
of the species that a single pair,
if unmolested for a year, will have
an offspring of hundreds in that
time. In dwellings and city sew
ers the house rat is the ruler, and
his black brother is driven to the
wall. In the fields, and along the
marshes bordering the sea coast,
the musk rat and the cotton rat
hold sway. Rats of many species
are now to be found wherever
human habitation exists. It is
easier to render a building fire
proof than rat-prcof.
The First Steel Pens.
When did steel pens come into
use? Iron pens are mentioned by
Chamberlyne in 1685; steel pens
made long before, began to come
into use about 1S20, when the first
gross of them was sold wholesale
for 7 4s. In 1830 the price was
8s, aud in 1832 6s ; a better pen i3
now sold for 6d a gross. J oseph
Gillott introduced great improve
ments in their make, and Perry be
gan the side slits which give elas
ticity. The production and con
sumption of steel pens is now enor
mous; their patterns innumerable.
Eight hundred tons of steel are
consumed yearly in making them
in this country alone. The world
consumes over 4,000,000 steel pens
daily that is nearly three toils.
Gold pens are also now extensively
made and are preferred for dura
bility and resistance to the corro
sive action of ink. They have been
improved by the ingenious but
difficult process of affixing iridium
to the points of the nib, which
from its extreme hardness resists
wear for many years. -
The "big trees" of California,
will soon ba extinct. Seventeen
lumbar companies, owning from
3,000 to 25,000 acres of redwood
forest each, are waging a war of
extermination with all the weapons
known to the modern logging
camp. Dr Rein of Frankfort has cal
culated the number of possible
combinations in a gam'o of domi
noes. They' reach the fabulous
amount of 284,528,211,840. That
is to say, two players playing on
an average ten hours a day would
require 118,000,000 of years to ex
haust all the combinations of the
sanre. Jfisclanea.
TEXA
Prohibition la Vermont.
Many amusing incidents are,
handed down of the experienced of
those days, Among others v)aa
that of an estimable old eh'eep,
farmer of Vermont, who, though a
church member and a deacon, wa
induced by the reform committee
of the church to take the abstain-
ing pledge, subject only to the
sheep-washing period.-;, during
which tasking times it wfts deed
ed essential to allow of Some stim
ulant. But matters did not seen!
to mend with the worthy deacon
very much and the committee paid
another remonstrating visit after
a while, when they found him in ft'
woeful state of intoxication.
'You see that' ere sheep?" Le?
asked with a tiiccoujh and point
ingto a dejected looking Cots wold jf
"that's cleanest sheep in Vermont
wash him every fifteen minutes."
Boston Globe.
Another Thins Woitaen Can't Io
Coming down School street in
the rain one day last week a wise,
self-respectitig-looking gentleman
of middle age. carrying a serious
serge umbrella, met a hurrying
high-school girl with a small as1
sertiv'e silk umbrella in her hand..
According to all ordinary rules of
umbrella carrying it looked as
though there would be a collision
when the two umbrellas pointed
at opposing angles to each other1
should try to pass. But the gentle
man saw the girl just in time, and;'
with a superior air of experience
lifted his umbrella high up in the
air. That would have saved things,
but the girl had evidently been'
trained in the Very unusual femi
nine accomplishment of umbrella
dodging, and she shot her small
shade upward at the same critical
instant The collision cam?) the
umbrellas betangled themselves'
the girl blushed and stammered
and begged pardon ; and the gen--tletnan
' said, as lie straightened
out the frame of her Umbrella and
politely returned it to her: -'Girls'
should not try to learn Greek of
to sharpen lead-pencils or carry
umbrellas. It can't be done." :
Boston Record.
"I hate women customers," re- .
plied a saleswoman in a dry-goods
store. She had been asked plump-1
ly whether she preferred waiting
on men, and this was her1 pi rim p'
answer.
"Why do you prefer men ?"
"Because they, know what they:
want, and do not care to keep you"
standing an hour while they f unv
ble over and r ample up the goods
on the counters Why, only to-day
I was showing a lady black stock
ings. Of course they were all the
same size and quality, yet she
dragged every pair out of that box
and then wanted to see ni'ore. I
handed down two more boxes, just
like this one, and then she asked
if we had any more. I told her no,'
and then she said I might wrap-"
up one pair for her. The lady
next me made nine different sales
to gentlemen while I was fooling'
with tliison9 woman. I am going
to try to get a place in a hardware'
store, or some place where women;
do not have to deal with women."
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The hotel clerk was studying his
chain through a small Irand-mirror;
when a guest said :
"One moment, sir, please."
The clerk continued his invest'-' '
gation intensely.
"One moment, sir, if you please,"
repeated the guest.
And still the clerk's absorbing
occupation went on. Finally he"
turned slowly and said :
