; Rat Catching.
"Is it not dangerous to catch them?"
"Yes, unless you know how. The
way I do is 10 go into a room iu the
dark and wait for them to come out.
They must come out to get food and
water. I wait until they 'get near my
bait, and then, by the aid of my dark
lantern, seize them in my nanus ana
put them in a bag. or else I pick them
up with my tongs. Of course I got to
be quick about it, but I have spent
many nights surrounded by rats with
out getting bitten. I have had them
running alliover me, on my head, up
my sleeves and up the legs of my pants
You don't mind it when you get used
to it. I often put my hand in a bag of
rats and bring out any particular one
that may be wanted. Good lively rat
are worth about eleven cents each for a
rat bait, but the business is very poor
since Mr. Bergh took to breaking up
the matches. It don't pay to catch
rats unless we can sell tUem, and as
yet the-only use for them is for rat
baits. In Paris they use the fkins tx
make gloves, but nobody has tried that
here. But something must be done if

Observations at Great Altitude! . Pro
fessor S. P. Langley, of Allegheny
Observatory, who is now in Italy, sends
to The American Journal of Science and
Arts a brief description of the proposed
observatory to be erected on Mount
Etna, under the direction ot rrotessor
Tacchini, of Palermo, at an elevation
of over 9,000 teet above tne sea levei.
He adds: I write in the hope that tne
example thus set by Italy may find im
itators with us. 1 have been now for
some time at a less high but still an el
evated station . here, about 4,500 feet
above the seaj engaged in observations
which it may be hoped will be of some
use in determining what may be ex

tory, their aim being to substitute some
sort of Quantitative data forDiir present
conjectural knowledge a3 to the degree
in whinh tiirt condition of vision are
improved at higher stations, and to
form with something of deflniteness a
standard of comparison. The results
(which will probably appear in a report
presented to the United States Coast
Survey).are not as yet complete; but 1
may say, in general terms, that while as
regards observations of precision, per
haps even as regards work on double

them up until December, when they

William Langley, a cotton plauterof
Gwinnett county, Georgia was stand
ing in a field on his farm on the even
ing of the 23d of April. Around him
were several men, a woman and three
children, all breaking the soil for cot
ton. The sky was clear and the air
quiet, there being about both a hint of
sultriness. The children.had just stop
ped work and thrown themselves, tired
as tired could be, on the top of-rp11e of
guana sacks, when a peculiar roaring
was heard in the field. The sound bore
some resemblance to that of an ap
proaching train, but as no railroads
were near the workers looked at one
another in amazement. In a moment
they sa w a small column, not larger in
circumference than a barrel, skim rap
idly along tbe ground. J he wind col
umn appeared to be filled with dust,
and in ine centre contained what look
ed like a ball of fire. The mother rush
ed towards the children, who crouched
low in iright, but before she could
reach them the pile of guana bags, chil
dren and all were scattered right and
left. . In its course, always eccentrie,
the columns struck a st'imp fairly
from butt to roots, and tore it from the
ground, the wood splitting into three
pieces and dropping twenty or thirty
yards away, t Mr. Langly was sucked
in as the whirling thing bolted by and
thrown into a plowed gully some dis
tance away. In the next iustant the
strange visitor had gone, passing up
over the tops of the trees. ' It was seen

house, appearing to them like the

The Governor of Haha, the largest
and most important province in the
Empire, which long maintained its in
dependence of the Sultan, hereditary
claim to the government of the twelve
Shellah tribes who make up the popu
lation. Although miserably fallen
away from its ancient prosperity in
the time of i.eo Africanus (in the six
teenth century) there were six or eight
populous towns where there is now
nothing better than a village the Pro
vince still furnishes much agricultural
produce and live stock, and sends hides
grain, oil and other merchandise -lor
exportation to the port of Mogador.
The Governor, at the time of our visit,
had long held his office ; by liberal con
tributions to the Imperial Treasury he
had kept himself iu the fajor of the
Sultan while amassing vast wealth.
Powerful and feared, lie might have
maintained his authority unbroken,but
that, by a coutinuous course of oppres
sion and cruelty, he at length stirred
np the spirit of resistance among his
own people. Vengeance, however at
trocious, for acts of revolt is so fully
the admitted right of men in authority
in Morocco, that it did not seem to
count for much in the indiutmen
against him that on one occasion he in
flicted on several hundred some said
a thousand prisoners the terrible pun
ishment of the "leather glove." A
lump of quick lime is placed In the vic tim's
open palm, the hand is closed
over it and bound with a piece of raw
hide. ' The other hand is fastened With
a chain behind the back, while the
bound fist is plunged into water. When
on the ninth day, the wretched man
has his band set freeJ.-it is to find him
self a mutilated object for life, unless
mortification sets in, and death relieves
him.from further suffering. But in
addition to such acts as these, the'Kaid
of Haha was accused of capricious deeus
oLferocity that revolted the consciences
ot his people. Among other stories of
the kind we were tbld that on some oc
casion, when he was having a wall
made round his garden, he happened to
see a youth jump over the low, unfin
ished fence. Feeling in some way an
noyed at this, he had the unfortunate
boy's right foot- struck off as a lesson
not to repeat the experiment.

" Don't we run along the shore of

" No; we are as near as we shall go."

" You have the same old story to tell,

" No, sir, I haven't," was the prompt
reply; " I am 'simply about to ask your

"Why why, go on, of course,"

"That's your advice, is it?" contin

Some years ago there resided in the .. hAVPAn the two nraduations of the
town of Hebron a certain Dr.;T ,
who became very much enamored of a
beautiful young lady in the same town.
In the course of time they were en
gaged to be married. The doctor was
a strong and decided Presbyterian and
his lady love as strong and decided
Baptist. They were sitting together
one evening talking over their

marked :
"I am thinking of two events which
I shall number among :he happiest of
my life." ,
"And what may that be doctor?"
asked ihe lady.
'One isthe hour when I shall .call
you my wife for the first time."
"And the other if you please?"
"It is when we shall preseut our first
born for baptism."
"What sprinkled?"
"Yes my dear, sprinkled."
'Xever shall a child of mine be
sjrinkled."
"Every child of niiue shall be sprink

"Yes, my love."

The lady took it in earnest and used
the Bitters, from which she obtained
permanent health. She now laughs at
the doctor for his joke, but he is not so
well pleased with It, as it cost him a
good patient..
