The athlete Checkley in his “ New System o f Physical Training” says that a development o f the muscles may be attained by mere mental effort, A good many athletes seem to have used their juiinds up In the effort to be strong. A young lady residing in . the far east has developed a most peculiar af- . lection for kerosene oil, »■ I t s .. odor is perfume to her, its taste delicious. She drinks one or two cups o f it a day.

Before ho could be* stopped he bad eaten the entire glass with the ex­ ception o f the bottom^ Either his Stomach was not in good condition or his crystal lunch wbs soo indigestible, tor in a half hour he was a dead man. A pseudo doctor opened an office down at Mineral Point below Canton. It was a feature e f his school o f medi­ cine to fiilliu love with his lady pa­ tients. His conduct was such as to lend quite a number o f citizens to think that his moral nature was indis­ posed, and so after a careful diagnosis it was decided that prompt treatment shonld be aqplied. In the middle o f the night lie was hurried to the out­ skirts o f the town and given -a full dress suit a few shade# blacker than his own heart. Nature divides up her. gifts.

The 11mhas plenty of brains to know what. It needs, and plenty of money to procure it. Bat there is one thing the members of the Arm can't do in spite of all their brains and money. They can't keep, rata out of their Wool, and their failure in this ra­ sped costa themmany thousands of dol­ lars. They have fwo big "storehouses that ware built with an aye to protec­ tion against rats. The foundations run down many feet, the floors are of aolld cement, and the walla are of brlok. The value of the wool stored In these two buildings Is sometimes a* much as •1,000,000.' Much of It Is the finest that can be got. The- rats don’t kuow one kind from another, perhaps, but It near­ ly-always happens that as .much of this selected wool is ruined every night as of the cheaper kind. Whemthick walls and many watch* men failed to defeat the rata It was de-* cided to see what an army of cats would do. Cats wove invited to tho factory yard by means of many poundBof fresh meat set Out as free lunch every day. The invitation soon became known toall tho eats in the neighborhood. They all responded, but the firm soon discovered that they noeded training, for the mo- ment the lunch>w%s over they trotted demurely away, and wore noon no more until the next day. Tho watchman who is on duty at night Wgan making friends of them, and pretty soon he was at liberty to approach any of themwith­ out fear of getting scratched or of frightening them-.raway. When this stage was reached, the big doors of tbq factory yardwero closed one day and the eats were prisoners, They didn't like it very much; but their embarrass­ ment' disappeared under’ the tender treatment of tho* watuhmau, •and they ' soonjiecame reconciled to the situation.' It m, necessary for the watchman, to make a tourOf all tho buildings at Bhort intervals during tho night, and tho ob­ ject was to got tho eats to’ search tho buildings before he entered and fright­ ened the rodents by his tread, ft didn’t take much practice before the cats un­ derstood that a rapid journey through the buildings at night was pretty sure to result in un ontortalning scrap with somo big rat, and as the time for. tho journey was about the time when they were ready for something more to eat, they entered into 'tho thing with great spirit. .Then it happoned that as soon as night-came and i'io many hundreds of employes had trooped out and tho watchman began rigging up his lantern for the night's vigil the cats would gather alnnit him In a groat swarm, mowing and jumping up eagerly. At present there are about two hundred cats on duty in the factory, and it is a picturesque thing to see the watchman start from tho ofllun door and stride down into thOblack oavurn of tho yard with tho cats (streaming out behind him like the outstretched tail of a horse, those nearest him jumping about his legs and rubbing their bodies purringly against bira. When tho watchman reaches tho door leading into tho first factory and begins fumbling with his ring of koya the oats surround him, and tho moment the door swings back they burst into the building liko a great wavo that lias burst Its dam, and run over tbo whole building as noiselessly and swift­ ly as water runs. Tbo watchman stands below in tbo doorway awaiting them, Occasionally he bears a sudden rush, a few sharp growls, a frightened squeak or two, and then ho knows that the cats havo found a victim. ( ■ It sometimes happens that a rat weighing aa much as five pounds is killed.. Of course one cat couldn't master a big fellow like this, and his death proves that the cats are oh good terms, and that thoy stick together in a fight. These big fellows aro dock rats who come up from the watbr in search of a change of food. When a cat runs a rat Into a hole the other cats spread out liko sentinels and, guard all the' pass- sages leading from it, Then tbo watch­ man either turns the bale over or pokes tbs rat out with a stklt, and tbe moment he makes a break for liberty, that mo­ ment he is gobbled up. *' Butin spite of ail this vigllanos snd care, every morning tbe workmen find wool spread‘over the floor that has been tornfrom the bales by tho rats; and that much is dragged out of tbe building there oan be no,doubt. It may be that in time tbe cats will succeed in .killing all the rats or In frightening them off; As it is, manyate killed, buttbetr places seam to be token by others. Jest now the watchman is 'grieving over the loss of one big ost that was a mighty killer o f rats, snd usually lad tbe charge against the very big fallows, He was troubled with Dess, and tbe wstobtuan, to relieve him o f them, sprinkled him with ‘flea powder. Tbs ost didn't like to be in a soiled stats* and so removed tbe powder la the way usual toasts, and died.
