f l.ir. Sena raises white mice for all the
medical colleges and for other purposes;
and these two experts had made au ap
pointment to meet me and sIioa- me, for
the benefit of all the boys and girls,
something :;bout the training of white
mice.
"For the medical colleges!'' perhaps
you will exclaim. "What can the young
doctors do with white micci" You will
have to ask the doctors themselves about
that. They dissect then to examine
some pare of their little machinery that
is very much like the machinery in a
a humau beiug. But do not worry
about it, for the tinv subjects are chloro
formed first and then know nothing
about it.
"Do they never bite you?" I asked,
as Mr. Seuu again took the mouse in his
hand.
Mr. Moody answered for him, for Mr.
Moody docs the training:
"Never, if they arc properly handled.
When a boy picks up a white mouse he
is very likely to. squeeze him tight to
kicp him safe; then the mouse turns
around and bites. But take them up so
gently without squeezing them at
all, and they do not think of biting. See
here."
lie took the mouse from Mr. Senn's
hand, held its tail between his fore
linger and thumb, au l held it abo7e his
head.
t;Thcy do not mind that at all," ho
went on. "They arc what we call pre
hensile they can support their weight
by the tail. When this fellow runs down
a smooth stick you will see him; coil his
tail around it for u brake. But if I should
squeeze his tail a little too hard, or ac
cidentally press my sharp nails against it,
he would twist around and bite me."
"What do you feed them on cheese?"
I asked. Cheese see Tied the most nat
ural tiling, as we always bait mouse
traps with it.
Mr. Moody laughed. "Hardly!" ho
replied. "No food is so good for them
as oats just dry oats. Soms breeders
bring thein up on bread and milk, but
that is not as good as o iti. Oil oats
they keep cleaner and do better. The
dry oats, of course, make them thirsty,
and then you can give them a little bread
and milk, squeezed out pretty dry. But
it is well to have them thirsty, some
times, when you are training them and
hungry, too, for that matter."
"Do you mcau to say that you starve
Ihem into doing tricks, or drive them
to it by thirst?"
"Not so bad as that," he answered,
"list if a mouse is hungry, au l he is to
alk over a string bridge, and he sees
some cats on the other side, he will go
quicker. There are two great - secrets
about making them do as you wish. The
first is patience. A boy c m soon learn
to traiu a white mouse nearly as well as
1 can, if he has the patience. But the
boy geuerally tires of it in tea miuutes,
when I keep it up for two hours, or
half a day, if necessary. 1 worry them
into it. That's the other secret," he
went on. "Worry cm! Suppose j-ou
want a mouse to climb a idick, pick up
a little flag that you have put there and
bring it down. You take tho mouse
when he's hungry, to begin with; you
tie a grain or two of oals to the flag
stall', and you put the mouse at the foot
of the stick. He won't go up, of course.
Well, when he turns arouud to run away,
you set him back again, with his nose
to the stick. If he runs away fifty times,
set him back lifty-one times. That wor
ries him. Boost him up a little ; give
him a start. You may even have a little
twig, and switch him, but gently. lie
soon sees what you want, an 1 tin he goes.
When he finds the oats he is satisfied
and comes down to eat them. Next tiruo
he will do it without half the trouble.
ami alter awhile lie will run up and get
the nag whenever you put him at the
foot of the stick.
"You teach the mouse a principle, you
understand; not merely a trick. The
principle in this case is taking some
thing up in his mouth. In a short time
he will take up anything you wish,
whether it is a fligstail or a little toy
pail anything he cau lift.
"No, there's walking the tight rope,"
he continued. "That looks hard, but it
is easy enough. You must have tha
string fastjned to the floor at both ends,
Ray four feet apart, and about a foot
from each end you brace it up with a
stick a foot or so long just long enough
to tighten the string. Use a big twine
t first, for that is easier; gradually yot
can make it smaller, till the mouse will
walk a druggist's string. They have
sharp claws and a great rip in their
feet. You take the mouse when he is
hungry and thirsty, and put some oats
and biead and milk atone end of the
bridge. At the other end you put the
mouse. He will try to run across the
floor to the fo&d, but bring him back.
Start him a little up the inclined place.
He is smart, and be soon learns that the
only way to get that food is to cross the
bridge. Then he crosses, and it is no
trouble to him. Worry him into it. Yoij-"
must not let the rnou.se tire you ou-ou
must tire the mouse out. '
"You have noticed,y.lr. Moody went
, "how a cat wwon-v a mouse till
on
the mouse wj-iie perfectly still? That '
is just -'kg W;ly y0U must worry him,
:it-i' .. ..'
Jl..nout biting him and breaking his
bones. When he starts wrong, bring
him back. Tire him out. Then when
he does what you wish feed him and pet
him. They like to be stroked. Aud
they soon become so used to you that
they will follow you about; the room.
This mouse has not been trained, Mr.
Senn?"
"Not at all," Mr. Senn replied. "He
wa3 never out of hh, house till I took him
out this evening, in the dark. There
were about 300 iu that pen."
"I could teach this fellow in rive
minutes," said Mr. Moody, "to climb a
stick lor me. See ho w accustomed he
has become to me already? How would
I do it? It's the easiest thing in the
world. I should put him on the stick,
and whenever he started to run down I
should reverse the stick. He would
eoon learn that no matter which way he.
went up he was bound to go up. Then
he would go up without auy trouble.
"Other tricks? Why, there is no end
of them. I suppose you have seen them
shoulder a match for a musket and sit in
a little wagon dressed in a suit of
clothes, while two others drew them
around The coat is made to fasten
around the neck with a hook and eye,
and it won't come oil, so he must wear
it. The hat fastens on with a rubber.
The 'horses' are harnessed with a little
neck-yoke which they caunot get out of.
I have never been able to teach them to
fire a pistol ; the report frightens them
almost to death. Some white mice sing
very much like a canary. No, you can
not teach them that. I think.it is some
disease of the throat."
The exhibition over, Mr. Senn put
the white mouse back iu his pocket, aud
Mr. Moody, opening one by one a num
ber of little cages that stood on the
mantle, called down a dozen or more
canaries that had been perching on
cornices and picture frames, and put
them to bed.
"These nrc the two secrets of the
trade," said Mr. Moody, as I bade him
good night; " 'patience' and 'worry
'em.' " St. Louis Republic.
A Grotesque Shark.
The hammerhead, or ground shark, is
one of the most grotesque objects in the
oceau, its huge skull, which is placed at
right angles with the body, having' a
most uncanny aspect. The eyes, which
are at the extreme ends of the head, aud
from eighteen to twenty-four, inches
apart, have an unusually truculent ex
pression, and, being very large, add to
the strange and forbidding look of the
creature. This species, as might be in
ferred from the uncouth form of its in
tellectual department, i3 a resident of
deep watera, and rarely leaves the bot
tom. It preys, mainly, on such iinay
creatures as frequent thedepthsin which
it dwells, but it rises occasionally to cap
ture the swift dolphin, sea trout, or re I
fish. Fishermen fear it more thau the
species that swim near the surface, be
cause they are likely to step on it, or to
feel its resentment when they are draw
ing seines in the deep channels which it
frequents. Being sullen and fierce, it
sometimes assails them without any ap
parent reason, but I have yet to hear of
its causing the death of a man, or even
of its inflicting a serious wound upon
him. Both this species and the browu
shark may be taken on a rod and lino
with mullet or meat bait. Specimens
weighing from ieu to fifty pounds are
often caught with rod and reel in various
parts of Florida; but, a3 they are listless
in movement, and merely hang back like
a dead weight,even ardent young anglerj
care little for them. They are so per
sistent in takiug the bait intended for
better fish, and even in pulling edible
captives off a hook, that angles ire often
compelled to change their fishing
grounds for some placj waie'.i .they do

RURAL MAILS.
FREE DELI V rK Y IN THE COUN;
TRY BOUND TO COME SOON.
Vha.t Has Been-Done Already at the
Experimental Offices What '
. the Postnxa'ster-General
12, . . Can Be Done.
h -
- s
For several writes W. G. Cooper,
in the Atlatt;onstitution, the delivery
of majVm rural districts has been talked
oljbut it has been looked upon as a
matter far. awaj if not impracticable.
Most persons overlooked the fact that
rural mail delivery ha3 been in operation
in Great Britain and other parts of
Europe for years.- Now that an exper
imental service of th'13 kind has been in
actual operation for nearly a year io
forty-six country .communities, and in
most of them the increased, returns show
a clear profit above expenditures, rural
delivery becomes a reality of the near
future, and there is ' little doubt that a
marked advance beyond the experimental
stage will be made tliis' year.
The report'of the Postmaster-General
shows that'between February 1 and Sep
tember 3, 1891, the 'forty-six' experimen
tal offices spent $1320 for carriers. In
the same time the receipts at those
offices increased $5500. Some of this
was due to natural growth,-and by
comparison with the previous year a de
duction in the same proportion was made
for the annual increase of 1891. After
doing this,- the Postmaster-General re
ports an increase uf $5171 due to free
delivery. This is $850 more than the
cost of the . service ; so the department
made a clear profit of $850 on the ex
periment of rural free delivery.
The forty-six country postoffice3 where
trial was made are located in thirty-one
States. . ' :
The Po3trna3ter-Geocral saya: "An
entire year, aggregating 552 months for
these forty-six offices, . would have re
sulted, according to the above propor
tions, is a net earning of $3812.51.
With an appropriation of $200,000 for
the next fiscal year the net earnings,
upon the same basis, would reach $72,
250.80; -with an apprdpriation of $500,
000 the net earnings 'would be, by the
same figuring, $190,627, and with an
appropriation of a million dollars,$3Sl,
251. Of course the implication that
the service would be put on in communi
ties of areas and'densities of population
similar to those already experimented
with." . . !
Upon this Mr. Wanamaker makes
some apt remarks on the advantages of a
rural free delivery of mail. .- He calis
attention to its value as a quickening in
fluence in business by bringing the rural
districts in closer touch' with the world,
and remarks upon its' hanpy effect in
increasing the social opportunities of the
people. In an appendix he prints this
letter from au experienced man, who
shows how thoroughly practical rural
delivery will be when- operated in con
nection with the star routes-. -
"About 1871 the writer had some
star route contracts, and for the price of
a mail box and $1 peranuuui, we - sup- '
plied the farmers along cur routes,
leaving the mail in those boxes for there
after we had passed their postoffices, and'
taking out of the boxes the letters .they'
wanted to send away, besides doing some
little local business in leaving invitations
to husking bees, etc. .The plan' wai' so
popular that a committee waited o'h me
at one time, offering me a -bonu3if I'
would send my carrier by another route
past their places. There is no question
that your plan, once established, would
De a great ractor to keep the young folks
on the farm ; to keep them from joining
the great army of the unemployed in the
cities; to take away the loneliness of farm
life; to teach farmers that merchants,
corporations, railroad companies and big
bugs are not forever, in some mysterious
way, getting up some plan of oppression
for them, or are ready to devour them.
It will make their homes more sociable;
give them during the winter months a
chance for selfeducation and means of
social intercourse; it will give their city
friends a better" opportunity to visit
them, by announcing their intended .
coming, so that they can meet them at
the traiu. It will bring the farmers into
contact with the basis of -supply. They
can send away and get" their goods
cheaper. It will make country life more
tought after, and our cities, already
overcrowded, less desired by the coming
generation who are now filling our ftreets
with malcontents. Our fields -will be
better tilled and farmers, what they ought
to be, the most cultivatcd.of men."
It appears from the statements of the
Postmaster-General that public senti
ment is lipe for thU new advance.. " He
says on this subject.
"I have found encouragement beyond
all expression for this effort in the almost
unanimous support of the .press of the
country. Of the editorial opinions, which
have come to the notice of the depart
ment 25S favor the extension and. nine
oppose it. A noticeable thing -abo it
them is that many .cxpreii the surest
confidence in ultimate universal free de
livery; and while they state the fact that
this rural free delivery has been found
to be self-sustaining, they insist, in very
many instances, that it ought to be ex
tendel whether it is self-supporting or
not."
Mr. Wanamaker's report showed that
ihe cost of carriers at the forty -six
country postoffices. where he tried the
experiment, wa$1320 f$f seven moathsl
This is an average of VS. per annum for
each postoiSce. There are 61,000 fourth-
class postoffices in the Uni,tftate3. and
this, .in round figur, is the number
where rural delivery would have to be
established to make it complete. This
number would require an expenditure of
about eleven million dollars for carriers
on the scale of expense establishei by
the experiments. This sum is about
fifteerper cent, of the total receipts of the
Postoffice Department, and it is no
hazard to say that the establishment of
free rural deliveries throughout the
country will increase the receipts much
more than fifteen per cent. With such
success in a partial experiment, it goes
without saying that much better results
may be achieved by applying the system
on a larger scale.
A- Daring Robber.
The Postoffice inspectors have thrilling
experience sometimes in tryi-ig to cap
ture mail robbers. One of the most des
perate robbers was the notorious II. W.
Burton, otherwise known as Ham White.
He was the most daring highwayman of
recent times, and he obtained the very
remarkable distinction of two seuteuces
for life imprisonment. A feature of his
work was that he always did it alone,
holding up stage coaches single handed,
although a cripple. He committed four
robberies in one day near Austin, Texas.
No bandit was ever more courteous than
he. In one case he took $20 from one
passenger and gave him back $1 for sup
per; another, who was a drummer from
Chicago- gave up $75 and got back $5
commission for cash, while a third un
fortunate was permitted to keep his
watch because of its sentimental value as
an heirloom.' That particular adveuture
brought about his arrest. Although
sentenced for life he was pardoned in
1881. . But highway robbery had an ir
resistible fascination for him, and within
six weeks he was at it again. Seeking
a new field of operations in Arkansas, his
figure, clad in brown jean pantaloons,
cavalry boots, slouch hat, and mask of
black cloth, became a terror of the road.
His final exploit was the robbing of a
stage between Fayetteville and Alma.,
There were fourteen passengers, thirteen
men and one woman, and they were
obliged to get out one by one, while the
brigand covered the head of each with a
cloth sack, as a preliminary. That wa3
invariably his method. Two hours later
he took lunch at the same hotel table
with his victims, auu was interested iu
listening to their stories of the bravery,
which each had exhibited in the tryingj
ordeal they had been through, although
he subsequently siid that he had neveij
met with a more peaceable party. After
beiug captured he made a desperate a':-,
tempt to escape from the office of the jail,
being alone with the jailer,at whose head
he presented a dummy pistol which he
had made out of leather and tinfoil in UU
cell. The jailer knocked him down
with a pair of shackles, and secured him.
His plan was to get the keys, lock the
guards in the jail aud run. New York

Astonishing Effects of a London Fog.
When the fog drift3 in from the Gol
den Gate, as it sometimes does, we are
apt to make a great deal of fuss about
it and to declare that the climate of San
Francisco is a delusion, though it always
happens that the fog disappears by 11
or 12 o'clock iu the day, and generally
earlier. What should we say if we had
such fogs a3 the one which recently pre
vailed in London, Englaud? There the
fog hangs over the city like a funeral
pall and everywhere there prevails the
blackness of darkness. 1
It is really astounding to read the ac
counts of the effects which this fog ha?
-produced. Business is interrupted,
street and river traffic are greatly hin
dered and the darkness is so impenetra
ble that numbers .of persons have last
their lives by wandering into rivers,
canals and ponds. In the streets of the
great city it is impossible to see more
than a few inches in any direction. Gas
has to be burned all the time, and evea
then the streets have been pactically im
passable. The fog makest he sidewalks
and crossings greasy and slippery, so
,that the pedestrians are in great danger
even if they can see where they are go
ing. To imagine the business of a city like
London suspendei or even seriously im
peded is almost impossible, and yet the
fact cannot be disputed. The fog is
there and its eHects are describe 1 with
out exaggeration. It would seem that
'modern science might find a remedy for
such a condition of affairs, but thus far
nothing ha3 been discovered which H
effective. If rain can be produced arti
ficially some sort of a reversal of tha
rain. making process ought to disperse
the fog and restore London lo a state of
comparative light. The smoke of the

Killed by His Gold.
A poor looking third-class passenger
in the train from Paris to Turin was a
week ago taken seriously ill as the latter
place was neared. He wa3 still alive
when the latter place was reached, and
was carried off at one? to a sofa in the
waiting room, where he soon died. On
examination it was found he was wear
ing a belt containing no less than $6000
in gold. Death had evidently been
caused by the pressure of this belt with
its precious contents. jThe dead man
had also rouleaux of gold under his arm
pits, though he was dressed in rags, and
so far no clue to h"i3 identity has beei
discovered. London Figaro.

I was afflicted from infancy with Catarrh, and for ten years with eruptions cn my f.tce.
I was attended by the best physicians, andused a number of Blood remedies with no per
manent relief. MY LIFE BECAME A BURDEN TO ME, for my case was declared incurable.
I saw S. S. S. advertised, and took eight bottles, which cured me entirely, and I feel like
a new person. Miss JosiE Owen, Montpelier, Ohio.
I was the victim of the worst case of Catarrh that I ever heard of. I was entirely
deaf in one ear, and all the inside of ray nose, including part of the licne, sloughed off.
No sort of treatment benefited me, and physicians said "I would never be any l.itUer." As
a last resort I took Swift's Sprciiic, and it entirely cured me and restored my hearing. I
have been well for years, with n,o sign of return of the disease. Mrs. Josephine 1'oLim.L,
