Policeman Morgan Thomas of the West Twentieth street station, New York, has at his hope, 165 Seventh avenue, eight trained rats. The parents of the brood came from Spain on a sailing vessel, and were presented to their present owner by the Captain. They are smaller than the ordinary house rat, and have soft, white fur, spotted with grayish brown. Their eyes are bright and intelligent looking. The eight are of the same litter, and were born about a year ago. The marks on their coats are very similar. Policeman Thomas plays the fife. One day, while sitting near the cage containing the young rats, which were then four months old, he began to blow a spirited air on the fife. A great scampering in the cage attracted his attention. Fleeces. To be perfect fleeces, ought to have two good qualities. They must be fine and soft both. Also, they should be regular, having each staple of the same quality throughout. The sheep known as the Merino and the Angora reach this standard the most frequently, the fleeces of Saxony keeping fairly abreast of them; while irregular fleeces are occurring constantly among the ordinary flocks of Spain and Portugal and Italy, in which there will be found an intermixture of long coarse hair, of thick opaque hair, that makes dealers look shyly upon the wool, as not being "true grown." These incriminating hairs are called "kemps," and "kemps" are liable to appear in any of the fleeces of England and Wales when there have been inclement seasons, when the sheep have been exposed to the inclemencies, and their food has been consequently too scanty and too fitfully obtained. For regularity, or evenness of staple, wether wool ranks much higher than ewe wool or any other. It shows scarcely any difference in it in its thickness close to the skin and at the far point. To simulate softness there has been a practice of smearing sheep with tar and butter among foreign dealers, and the compound very fairly imitates "yolk," or the grease abounding in fleeces naturally, and found in excess in the fleeces of the Merino. In all fleeces the "yolk" represents about 25 per cent. of weight. In the Merino fleeces it represents nearly 50 per cent. After cleansing it is gone; and it is of paramount importance that it should be gone. Flock-growers like it to be present, because, during their short ownership, it keeps the fleeces sound and lets no harshness be detected. Fleece-buyers get rid of it at their quickest, because, after eight or nine weeks of packing, fermentation, which they call "sweating," ensues. This sweating makes the wool hard and brittle; in the inner part of the packs it even gets warm, spontaneous combustion has again and again resulted, and wool factories have been leveled by it to the ground. When flock-growers desire to consult the interests of fleece-buyers they will see that as much as possible of this yolk is removed. The Spaniards try for this after shearing when they give the fleeces a good smell. Oh, What can you hear? Will you hear the sounds perhaps of the sure apprehensive disease, Consumers if you can afford 50 cts., to run through for it. We know from Loh's Care will cure your falls.

"I have great pleasure mony to the virtues of EXTRACT OF BEER AND as the very best prepara pression. Weakness therefore confidently in medical profession." Colden's—take no other easily. An Old Friend was "My dear Rose," "where did you acquire plexion? It seems to me that the beautiful girl of eleven twenty years ago." The lady addressed, "Complimenting but so SOAP." Have you noticed its effect? There is no powers as a beautifier. Feits. See that "C. Prictor," is printed on which none is genuine and fancy goods dealer." The parents of the brood came from Spain on a sailing vessel, and were presented to their present owner by the Captain. They are smaller than the ordinary house rat, and have soft, white fur, spotted with grayish brown. Their eyes are bright and intelligent looking. The eight are of the same litter, and were born about a year ago. The marks on their coats are very similar. Policeman Thomas plays the fife. One day, while sitting near the cage containing the young rats, which were then four months old, he began to blow a spirited air on the fife. A great scampering in the cage attracted his attention. The little rats had gathered at that part of the cage nearest to him, and showed signs of the liveliest excitement. When the music ceased they began to scamper about the cage again. He played a different air, and they again flocked toward him. The idea that the rats could be trained then entered his head. He soon learned that his pupils were very sensitive to music, and were differently affected by sad or joyous strains. He devoted an hour every day to their instruction. His efforts were soon rewarded. At the end of a month they knew and obeyed his voice in many ways. They would sit up on their hind legs, and lift up their front paws as though in supplication, or lie down as though dead, at the word of command. They displayed the greatest intelligence in learning, and rapidly acquired new tricks. Their most interesting performance is "playing soldiers." Policeman Thomas opens the cage door and plays a lively air on the fife. The rats prick up their ears, and led by the captain, which is distinguished from the others by a red ribbon which he wears around his neck, march out in single file on to a platform in front of the cage. They then form two abreast, and after walking around the platform they form a solid column in the center, as though waiting for orders. At the command of their teacher they form four abreast and rise upon their hind legs. They next separate and form two bodies at either end of the platform. They rush at each other with apparent fury, and a mock battle is fought. A shrill note from the fife causes them again to form in single file and march back into the cage. A small handkerchief about an inch and a half square is handed to the captain. He holds it up in sight of the others and they at once get into line. He gives it to the one next to him, and it passes along. The eighth returns it to the captain, and he in turn gives it to Policeman Thomas. The rats do many little tricks, such as swinging on a small trapeze, jumping over small hurdles, and the like. The parent rats take great interest in the young ones, although they have reached their full size. Policeman Thomas says that the mother still corrects them if they do not obey her directions. If one stays out of the cage longer than she thinks it should she runs out and corrects it with her teeth. The disobedient youngster squalls, and hurriedly re-enters the cage. These rats are very parrents sound and lets no harshness be detected. Fleece-buyers get rid of it at their quickest because, after eight or nine weeks of packing, fermentation, which they call "sweating," ensues. This sweating makes the wool hard and brittle; in the inner part of the packs it even gets warm, spontaneous combustion has again and again resulted, and wool factories have been leveled by it to the ground. When flock-growers desire to consult the interests of fleece-buyers they will see that as much as possible of this yolk is removed. The Spaniards try for this after shearing when they give the fleeces a good wash. Saxon growers wash the sheep themselves before the scissors are set to work. They have tubs of warm water and soap leeches, in which the animals have their first dip; then tubs of clean water are ready for extra purification. The English, as is familiar, wash before clipping also; but they only use clean water, and they squeeze this out, when the sheep are removed from it, with the hand.—All the Year Round. Where our Forests Go. To make shoe pegs enough for American use consumes annually 100,000 cords of timber, and to make our lucifer matches 300,000 cubic feet of the best pine are required every year. Lasts and boot-trees takes 500,-000 cords of birch, beech and maple, and the handles of tools 500,000 more. The baking of our bricks consumes 2,000,000 cords of wood, or what would cover with forest about 50,000 acres of land. Telegraph poles already up represent 800,000 trees, and their annual repair consumes about 300,000 more. The ties of our railroads consume annually thirty years' growth of 75,000 acres, and to fence all our railroads would cost some $45,000,000, with a yearly expenditure of $15,000,000 for repairs. These are some of the ways in which American forests are going. There are others; our packing boxes for instance, cost in 1874,$12,000,000 while the timber used each year in making wagons and agricultural implements is valued at more than $100,-000,000.—Hartford Post.

Policeman Thomas says that the mother still corrects them if they do not obey her directions. If one stays out of the cage longer than she thinks it should she runs out and corrects it with her teeth. The disobedient youngster squalls, and hurriedly re-enters the cage. These rats are very particular about their appearance, and take two baths daily. Should the water not be clear they will not go near it. After coming out of the bath they sit up, and smooth down their coats with their paws, as a cat washes its face. Policeman Thomas says that the two old rats have driven all the other rats off the premises. Although smaller than the others, they easily kill them, adopting the ferret method of cutting with their teeth a vein in their adversary's neck. Policeman Thomas also has a small black and tan dog named Jim, which is very friendly to the rats. He eats with them, and allows them to play over his body while he does. The famous Dalrymple farm of 75,000 acres in Dakota, is really made up of smaller farms, with separate ownerships; but all is under the management of Oliver Dalrymple, who owns 4,000 acres outright, and is likely to soon become a half owner of the rest. When he assumed charge the proprietors of the various tracts put in the land at a fair valuation and money enough to improve it, charging eight per cent on the whole investment. The important provision was that, whenever the profits reached over and above the eight per cent, a year, a sum sufficient to repay the entire outlay, half the land should be his. At the time it was not supposed that much, if any more than the promised percentage could be derived from the farm, but the crops have been heavy, and nothing but a serious mishap will prevent Dalrymple from realizing his hopes within two or three years. Everybody knows that a layer of newspapers over a bed affords as much warmth at night as the ordinary counterpane. Various attempts have been made of late years to turn this to account, but owing to the crackling nature of the paper and the impossibility of securing free ventilation beneath paper-coverings the idea has been abandoned again and again. A Manchester (England) firm are, however, credited with having overcome these objections, and have invented a paper blanket which furnishes as perfect ventilation as takes place beneath an ordinary woolen blanket. The new covering is made of two sheets of paper, between which a layer of wadding, chemically prepared, is inserted in such a way that it cannot gather together in lumps, while the edges are strongly whipped, so that there is no possibility of a separation of the two pieces taking place. The paper is manufactured from the strongest fibre known, and is softened by special process until it is free from the objectionable crackling and rustling sound of paper. It is true that there is a slight crisp feeling when new, but this soon wears off and the covering becomes soft and lump. At the same time the strength is much greater, having regard to the material from which it is manufactured. As far as looks go, the new blanket has all the appearance of the old one, while the warmth it affords exceeds that of its predecessor when the size and weight of the two are brought into comparison. It is moreover much cheaper. Oh, What a Cough! Will you heed the warning? The signal perhaps of the sure approach of that more terrible disease, Consumption. Ask yourself if you can afford for the sake of saving 50 cts., to run the risk and do nothing for it. We know from experience that Shiloh's Cure will cure your Cough. It never fails.

Hope Retreat, Baltimore: "I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the virtues of COLDEN'S LIERGY'S EXTRACT OF BEEF AND TONIC INVIGORATOR as the very best preparation used for Depression, Weakness and Indigestion, and therefore confidently recommend it to the medical profession."
