It is an old Baying that “rats desert
n sinking ship,” but it is a most sing
ular fact that they do not wait until n
boat or barge is sinking until tney de
sert it. They appear to be apprised of
the danger sov.rnl hours before any
aei'IdentsKiocurs to the vessel. One
oasc that came under my observation
was when I was piloting a towboat in
the lower Mississippi. We were oom-
ing up stream late one evening when I
noticed a horde of rats coming off one
of the barges we had in tow. I told
some of the members of the Grew tliat
wo would have bad luck. We went
ahead, and just before daylight the
burge from which the rats hud tied
struck a rock and sunk. No damage
was done to any other part of the
shipping. The same phenomenon oc
curred just before the fntnl lire of the
steamer Oliver Belrne. On the last
day of tlie boat’s career, about two
hours before the lire, a drove of rats
were seen to run astern over the lower
deck and Jump overboard.

A Basket at ill" Masthead.
When a sailing, master wishes to
buy oysters in the ports of the Ches
apeake he runs up to the masthead
an oyster basket, and presently has
plenty offered at the vessel’s Bide.
Down at Chincoteague island the
basket at the masthead is sometimes
accompanied by a flag of concentric
squares in different colors. During
the closed season for oysters the flag
and basket indicate that the master

“Miss Figg,” began the summer young
Utah, “when I first met under the influ
ence of your magic spell—I mean when
I first hiet you and fell under the
glamour, for even you in your maiden in
nocence must be aware of your power,
wnd hitherto though my heart has been
Unsusceptible, but the light that lies in
woman’s eyes—especially yours—er—
oh”
The young woman continued to beam
on him kindly, bht the yonng man
hadn’t hia notes and Mb memory had de
parted, and he could only gasp, “Miss
Figg, where was I at?”-=*-Indiunapolis

The incumbent ot ; St. Paul’s church,

r.cvet’Hlble Snakes lit Frnllu.
A snake not often heard of. a l
least iti Amorim. is tlie liver colored
snake v. ilii two heads, or perhaps
they sllnalfl lie railed mouths, llmupll
it does not have two mouths at the
same time. They are reversible
mouths, occupying the opposite end
every six months. It lies with tin
two ends crossed on each other, ns
with folded hands. Every six months
tlie change ot tlie seasons levers, s
tlib flinctiomi of the two ends, tlie
head heemning the tail and tlie tail
becoming tlie bead. The mouth at
one end heals or closes up all hut
n smnll opening, while tlie opposite
end becomes the mouth for the next
six months.
A friend of mine iu India who told
me about this lomuri-.able snake said
he refused for a long time to lielieve
thnt the functions of the two ends
were reversed every six months, hut
one day lie found one of these snakes
in the jungle and carried It home,
where lie had a physician examine,
it. The result was, the physician
confirmed the stories of the creature
mid my friend was skeptical no
longer. I learned no other name for
this singular reptile than that of
“the liver colored snake.” -Hartford
Times.
A daunt* In NuinOt-on',, Will.
Peter the Great is said to have
made u will in which he exhorted
his heirs to approach us nearly ns
possible to Constantinople and to
word India, hut the authenticity of
this document has been disputed, uml
it is shrewdly suspected to have been
forged late in the Eighteenth century
by August von Kotzebue. Of the
genuineness, however, of the last
will and testament of the first Najsi
icon there can lie no manner of
doubt. One of its clauses was ns
vindictive ns the testamentary iu
junction of Queen Austrigilda to her
jiusliand to have her two doctors
killed and buried with hor.
The exile of Longwood absolutely
bequeathed 10,000 francs to a fellow
called Cantillou, who had been tried
in Paris for nn attempt to murder
the Duke of Wellington. The man
was still surviving in Brussels when
Napoleon III came to the throne, and
Cantillon was duly paid his abom
inable legacy.—London Telegraph,

Ninth ward, the janitors of the many
upurtmeutf houses iu that part of the
city would‘sleep bottor these hot nights,
Tho inau is a jj^nius in his way, and
owes his Success to tho perfect manner
in which hi) lias worked out the details
of his sediemo. Yesterday morning
when tho .junitrosH of a fiat house un
sworn! his ring she was completely be
guiled byjiis ChuHttirfioldiun manners,
which were further enhanced by a styl
ish suit of cifothesmnd a glossy silk hat.
As he looked at tljto apartments tho man
rattled off a plausible story that was
well calculated to deceive. Ho wished
a fiat for • his old motbor, who was an
invalid at. present residing in the coun
try. He, was wealthy, being in busi
ness in Brpadwayj and us he wished to
make his motlior'a last days as comfort-
able.aa possible, only the best rooms in
the house' would suit him, The jani-
tress showed lief sunniest apartments
and the mun appeared delighted. Ho
ordered the rooms thoroughly cleaned,
and was about taking his departure
when the juuitress suggested that it
was customary to loavo a doposit.
The *man put his band in liis pocket,
and with an exclamation of impatience
remarked that he left his office in a
hurry and forgot to bring any money
with him. Then lio remembered that
ho had a cheelq which of course was
just the same, tt was for ten dollars,
and ho requested the janitress to take
three dollars deposit on tho rent, one
dollar on the keys, anil givo the woman
two dollars for tho cleaning. lie would
leave tho whole amount, only he would
have to pay for Ihe moving beforo ho
got buck to his office. The junitmu
was so improved with Ms offlmud man
ner that she regretted she hadn’t four
dollars in tho house, and felt rather
sinull when site came back and told the
man she had only three dollars. He
seemed a little disappointed at first, but
took the money uml said he would trust
her for the balance until ho returned in
the evening. The janitress congratu
lated herself upon having secured a good
tenant, and it wosu’t until the rooms
were all ns cleau as the proverbial new
pin that she took the check to a store to
have it cashed. As soon as the..grocer
saw the check he said it was no good,
it was not difewn on a bank at all.—

It makes uo bequests to the heirs of the
testator, providing only for the appoint

large property will therefore be divided
according to the intestate laws. The

it is estimated to he worth nearly $0,000,-

which penetrate to a great depth, mak

Furthermore, these roots, when
broken to pieces, form new plants, so
that a large number of plants can easily
