The movement is noticeable even in large cities. More general movements of rats /ften occur. In 190'. a multitude A migrating rats spread over several counties of western Illinois, /or several years prior to this in- /asion no abnormal numbers were -.oen, and their coming was remarkably sudden. An eyewitness to the phenomenon informed the writer :hat as hc was returning to his ionic by moonlight he heard a general rustling in thc field near by, :ind soon a vast army of rats crossed _hc road in front of him, all going m one direction. The mass stretched away as far as could be seen i.r the dim light. These animals remained on thc farms and in the villages of the surrounding country, .ind during the winter and summer cf 190-1 were a veritable plague. A local newspaper stated that between'March 20 and April 20, 1904, P.. U. Montgomery of Preemption, Mercer county, killed 3,435 rats on' his farm. He caught most of them in traps. In 1S77 a similar migration occurred into parts of Saline and Lafayette counties, Mo., and in 190-1 another came under the writer's observation in Kansas River Valley. This valley for the most part was flooded by the great freshet of June, 1903, and for about ten days was covered with several feet of water. It is certain that most -_���������������������������- low two or 'shrub to a ice water, dainty and refresh ing a I fills 0 This makes ing drink.

Que., baby mach ma went on to say, "and had put the sulphur tip of a spunk down on that little burning spot, puff! you would have had a blazing match. Soon tho wood of the match have caught, and you would have had a new fire started. Think how much easier than to blow and blow to coax thc burning tinder to light a piece of wood. "People thought these - matches wonderful helps, even if you couldn't strike them; but they did not have to use them a great while, because somebody thought of something better. I can just remember the next kind. They were lipped with sulphur and something else, but those, too, could not be lighted by scratching them. People lighted them "by dipping them in a bottle. Strange way to light a match, wasn't it? That bottle was the most mysterious 'thing in the whole house to me. It .vas filled -with asbestos. You know what asbestos is, don't you?: That queer kind of rock that is so veiy stringy and will soak up water or oilor any other liquid ? This asbestos wos soaked in sulphuric acid, a strong chemical that made the match tip blaze when it touched it. I always wanted to watch when my father lighted a match. Down went the match into the bottle. Just as soon as it touched the wet rock, fizz 1 we had a light. The first of these matches we had I've heard my mother say cost twenty-five cents for eighty-four." Phil gasped, as he thought of a time in the year when he wanted lots and lots of matches. "I never could have saved money for a good Fourth if I'd had to buy my own matches," he said, with a sigh. "You could have pieced out a match or two with a slowraatch of rotten wood," said grandma, com et thc rats in the valley perished in this flood. In the fall of 1903 much of the.districfc was visited by hordesof rats, which remained during the winter, and by the following spring had so increased in numbers that serious losses of grain and poultry resulted. No doubt the majority of thc so- called migrations of rodents are in reality instances of unusual repro- _! ire ti0. r_"fr=_'f "^e"ii" fOTc.dnmi gfa t;i cuf owing to lack of foid. In England a general movement of rats inland from the coast occurs every October. This is closely connected with thc closing of thc herring season. During the fishing tho rodents swarm to the coast, attracted by the offal left from cleaning thc herring, and when this food supply fails they hasten back to thc farms and villages. In South America periodic plagues of rats have taken place in Parana, Brazil, at intervals 'of about thirty years, and in Chile at intervals of from fifteen to twenty five years cultivated and decay of the dominant species cf bamboo in each country/The ripening of the seed furnishes for two or more years a favorite food for rats in the forests, where the animals multiply greatly; when this food fails they are forced to the cultivated-districts for subsistence. In' 1878 almost the entire crops of corn, rice and mandioca in the State of Parana were destroyed by rats, causing a serious famine. An invasion of black rats in the Bermuda Islands occurred about the year 1615. In a spa������������������.e of two years they had increased so alarmingly that none of the islands was free from them. The rodents devoured everything which came in their way���������������������������fruit, plants, and even trees���������������������������so that for two years the people were destitute of bread. A law was passed requiring every man in the. islands to set twelve traps. In spite of all efforts the animals increased, until they finally disappeared with a suddenness which could have resulted only from a pestilence. These plagues in the lands follow the ripening Robert Louis Stevenson was originally a lawyer. He was called to the Scottish Bar in 1875. Sir Waller Besant started life as ft professor at the. Royal College, Mauritius. He embraced his later profession by a sort of accident in collaboration with the late James Rice. Grant Allen was at first a public school teacher in England; and then he went to Jamaica to fill. a< professor's chair in the Government College. This phase, of his career reminds one of Sir Walter Besant's start in liie. ! J. M. Barrie, the famous short- { story writer, novelist and play- in wright, after taking his M.A. degree: at Edinburgh, in 1882, became a. journalist, and his brilliant articles on Scottish life and manners first, brought him into notice. PORTALS OF JOURNALISM. Many other novelists entered tho world of fiction through thc portals, of journalism. Among the rnoro prominent of these, were William Black, B. L. Farjeon, Rudyard Kipling and David Christie Murray. j William Black be.ame a journalist1' tome three years before he wrote, his first novel, which brought him! prominently into notice. Previous to'entering journalism it is said that his a-mbition was to become an' artist. ��������������������������� [ B. L. Farjeon started in life as a. journalist in Now Zealand, editing. _ paper out there. Charles Dick-.' ens is credited with - discovering' that Farjeon possessed considerable' talent as a novelist, and according-;' ly he came to England, and he has' heen engaged in.turning out novel after novel with more or less suc~i ccos ever, since. ._���������������������������..���������������������������;_ " ��������������������������� . - KIPLING AS EDITOR. ;\ Rudyard Kipling was also at.one.- time an, editor, or rather sub-' editor, sub-editing, as hc did, one, of the most important of India's newspapers. ' . , - ! David Christie Murray had a hard ��������������������������� struggle to commence with, but when tho Russo-Tui-kish war broke', out, he went to thc scene of action as the special war correspondent of: the Times and Scotsman. Later-on ������������������������������������������������������ he turned novelist, and thc great success which attended his efforts in this direction shows that fiction . was his true forte. ��������������������������� ��������������������������� G. A. Henty, thc famous, writer j. of stories for boys,^was also in his j* time a war correspondent, and smelt,; powder in several important wars.' Thomas Hardy who excels in his. delineations of Wcssex life and. manners, and whose tragic novel, "Toss of the D'Urbervilles," created such a sensation when ifc., was published, started in life as an Iff_ hi trs c tpan d^ th e^h6 u s c=i if" w h i c If^ he lives, at' Dorchcstci, was built- from his own designs. HALL CAINE'S SUCCESS. Hall Cainc was also an architect, in early life. Later on he took to journalism. Then hc brought out. his first novel, which proved a success,' and since then he has devoted, himself entirely to novelistic work Y.nd play writing," having proved n$~. successful in the one as in tho. other. Clark Russell, one of thc great-, est living writers of the sea, spent, most of his youth in a seafaring; life, which accounts for his wonderful knowledge of all matters maritime, and shows that ho writes, about with which he is thoroughly acquainted. . Rider Haggard, who is another- of our "tip-top" novelists, began as a barrister, but after his great. ��������������������������� hit with "King Solomon's Mines" became briefless���������������������������from choice, of" course. It'will be seen from the foregoing summary that journalism, in the- majority of cases, was the royal., road to novel writing. .*_ SOME CONSOLATION.

The home is never brightened by ihe roseate hues oa thc end of a nose. Thc straightcst road to heaven is that one on which you can do most good. Tho more man you put into religion the more religion you will give men. Too many think they are saints because it makes them sad to see a child happy. He who does not preach with what ho is will never persuade with what he says. The dead saints arc the only good ones according to tho canon of negative virtues. No man ever knows anything about heaven except as he tries to make some one happy. Some have hard time picking out a car to heaven because; the lower berths seem all to be taken. There is no such a possibility as finding righteousness for yourself while ignoring tho rights of others.

Its events even merited notice in the London newspapers; for that month was the culmination of the long drought which for teu years had been creeping over the land. A succession of dry seasons, each _ little dryer than the last; a few more sheep and cattle dying, a .lightly higher price fur wool every year, and to counterbalance that, a larger percentage of loss allowed the drover who is taking your stock down to the markets or the railway. Then the big squatter iinds that he cannot all-rd to send his family to England for a trip, and the small farmer doesn't see his way to giving his family a fortnight in Sydney or Melbourne. Then one realizes that the drought has made good progress, and that certain loss and possible ruin must be faced with resignation. * , 7* .*'��������������������������� * * It was upon an evening in the same March, 1903, that Rcynell leaned over his homestead fence with some satisfaction. Things were bad, but he had been lucky. Ha could see spreading before him ln^ eighty acres of wheat, almost ripe. That would fetch a lot with who .t at eight shillings. Tho tinkle of a cow-bell on tho ridgo behind reminded him of the sixty head of cattle he possessed, and besides that he had four hundred sheep picking up a somewhat precarious livelihood among the adjacent gorges. Altogether prospects were bright. He had only left England two years ago, and he had taken up land in the Blue Mountains. Most people scorned the mountains, because half fch������������������ purveyed .acreage was liable to be a precipice. But Iieynell had arrived during the drought, and on the advice of an old farmer he had chosen the hills. rain's going," said the , "it'll hit you there." And it had hit liim there. hand old rain had fallen, :'Wallaroo" place) had If (as got Iieynell called nis most of it. He had shown good sense in choosing his estate. Tho S. E. wind brought rain, and on tlie.2s'. W. of Wallaroo was a high barrier of mountains that caught the clouds, and so the rain fell upon Reynell's flocks and herds. The little pockets among thc ranges all around were delighting in the prospect of high, prices for their produce. "Still," thought Rcynell, "it's terrible dry." Suddenly there was a sound of galloping hoofs. In the still, warm air "Iieynell couki hear thc slide and 'scuffle of a horse being taken full speed down the steep track from the ridge, and then thc muffled drumming as it raced along tho even gully towards the homestead. i==^Veynl;lT_w6Tid_T_d".-" "Th" a'tr^lio"- thought, "is an unshod horse, or I'd have heard the click on the stones. But'there's no one round hero uses unshod horses fur riding. J. must lia\e g A frightened and run away. But there must be someone on it. or it'd have gone straig..- down the gully and wouldn't have turned up here at a right anglo. I wonder what'!, the .matter !'.' He soon knew. A big grey suddenly appeared in the arc of light fjoin the window, and was pulled up sharp on his haunches. ���������������������������'Hullo!" said Iieynell. "Ls that you, Mr. Iieynell, I'm Jim Dwyer. There's a big hush fire coming on father's place, aiul lie wondered if you'd come and lend a hand." "A lire:" said iieynell. "Yes. it's been coniin' up all day. It's all around us now. Wo can't get a horse through." "Then how did you get here1?" "Me? I came on old Carpenter. I. couldn't get the others to face the fire. Can you help us, Mr. Iley- ncll?" "I'll go readily," said Rcynell, "but if there's a fire between us, you must stay here and let mc know if there's any danger to Wallaroo. I can't afford to lose what I've got." "Bight oh!" said the lad, and he swung off, a lithe, lean-featured boy of thirteen. "Vou get away quick and lively as long as you ean ���������������������������since you're goin'. And thanks -very much." So Iieynell set out. Little Princess sprang away at a gallop. She was named after someone who was coming out some day to marry her owner, and that implies that sho was a good friend. ed her shoulders and scrambled up like a cat. Iieynell sat far forward in the stirrups, and it was not long before they were up. Then the little head"kept turning round. He remembered that at thc top of the pull there was always a lump of sugar as a reward. He felt in his pocket, and there was still some there. Then they pounded along the gradual down-grade towards Dwyer's, fourteen miles away. Ho let the Princess , have her head. If Rcynell had been in the habit of boasting, his boast would have been that he never wore spurs, nor carried a whip, and yet he always arrived soon enough. . And the little mare galloped on, and on, until suddenly Iieynell, half-asleep on her back, noticed that the moon and stars.were no longer ^visible, while :t pungent reek of burning eucalyptus made him cough. He was getting near the fire. He looked round. On either hand the fringe of the mountains was outlined red and glaring. Then suddenly a red haze glowed before him, and he was in the middle of tho fire. The next twenty minutes were a nightmare. He dimly remembered racing along the narrow bush track ���������������������������a tunnel through the midst of the blaze of flames. He remembered great burning limbs of tree:, crashing behind him as he sped through. And then all at once hc remembered bursting out of the belt of flame, and cantering slowly down the slope towards Dwyer's homestead. He had got through. He reined up at the door. No one was there, except Mrs. Dwyer and Pattie, aged fourteen. Mrs, Dwyer was very Irish,, and very stout, and very courageous. As she heard the hoofs she came out. "Is ut you, Mister Iieynell?" she said. "It's good av ye to come. You'll be wantin' a drink. I'm makin' tea for the bhoys." She disappeared, and returned with a pint pot of scalding, milk- less tea. "Drink that," she said. By degrees, Reynell absorbed -it, and gradually his parched .tongue and cracked lips gave him back his voice. ."Where are they?" he said. "Out at the'idge of the fire. You can see them against the flame. Pattie '11 see to the mare." Already Pattie had given her half a bucketful of luke-warm water and was taking off the bridle. Iieynell slipped down, and went across the paddock to where several moving black figures wore silhouetted against a red background. They were trying to save the big wheat paddock. He made his way up to old Dwyer. The latter, stripped almost to the waist, and armed with a gum-tree bough was occupied with thc rest in beating down the approaching llames'. At thc edge of the wheat a "fire L reach" had been made���������������������������that is to say, thc timber had been cleared away for a distance of ten yards. But the undergrowth was still there and tho fire licked it up like dry shavings. To keep this back was their task. When it was subdued in one place, itHbro _c=out=in=anot-hcr-f=and^theii- in the old spot, and they were kept moving up and down the line. It was a despairing chance, but all the same they fought for it. Dwyer nodded to Iieynell. "It's real neighborly av ye to come," he gasped. "Dennis and Jim's getting the cattle into thc creek, and if wo can save thc wheat, we're right." ... Iieynell tore off a branch and, taking his place, beat at thc Hame.. livery few minutes old Dwyer looked round to see if his two eldest sons had managed to save the cattle. Every few minutes Patl.b" came up staggering under the weight of buckets of tea which was. poured down tho burning IhroaU of the fi re-fighters. All at once he found before him Mrs. Dwyer and Pattie and a lad.on a huge grey horse. ��������������������������� "You've got to leave," the boy shouted. "The fire's close on to your.place. It's not a mile away. I managed to get through to tell you. You asked mc to watch out." Rcynellat first didn'.t quite grasp the situation. He went on beating in a mechanical way. Mrs. Dwyer took up the talc. "Go on, me bhoy, and save your own���������������������������if you : can. You've done a lot for us. I'm only hoping it hasn't cost you dear. You'd best go before it's too late." Iieynell understood at last. He dropped the blanket and looked round to where tho cattle were gradually coming round to the shelter of the creek, and the sheep still more gradually edging in. They were nearly safe, but not quite. And the wheat still far from safe. The wheat was Dwyer's all in.all. Old Dwyer had a large fam- ilj into the bargain. Even if Wallaroo were lost" it wouldn't matter so much. A young man can always knock out a livelihood somehow. "It's all right, Mrs. Dwyer," ho said. "I can wait," and he started once more to beat the flames. Mrs. Dwyer looked at him. At last she replied : "Ye're a fine man, an' a good neighbor, and may we never be thc cause of your repenting. But I'm afraid we will." Th.en she went off to get more tea and more water. It might have been years later Cas a matter of fact it was not an hour) that old Dwyer went round the paddock, dropped his blanket, and remarked : "I think she'll do now, you chaps. I thank you." Then thc fire-fighters straightened themselves and looked round. Dawn had not yet broken, but in the grey light that precedes it," thc creek showed a curious appearance. The left-hand bank and most of the right had been burnt bare. In the deeper parts, driven there to escape thc fire, lowed Dwyer's cattle up to their necks in water. In the shallower, bleated the sheep. Patrick Dwyer had much reason to be pleased. The country round had been swept by thc fire as clean as a sponge cleans a slate, and ho had saved his stock and his wheat. But Iieynell had less reason to bo pleased. While hc had been fighting for another, his own had been destroyed probably. It was not much, perhaps, but it was his all. Most of the fire-fighters dropped where they stood. Iieynell staggered back to thc homestead and asked Pattie to saddle themare. As Dwyer shook llcynell's hand, he shook his own head. 'Ye've done a" lot for me," he said, "and I'm fearing that ye've lost a lot." Then appeared young Jim, lead- rain had hit the gully soon enough to ������������������_ve'"Wailaroo, ' At last he peered out through th . corner of his eye. Here at any rate the bush fire,, was a thing of tho past. The ash had become mud, and the burning logs were nov sodden. Was it in time? The rai.. compelled him to close his eyes again. Suddenly Jim,-on ahead, gave-, a shout of triumph. "Look!" he cried. Iieynell ^looked, but lie could see nothing to justify Jim's .xaltatio i. Then, following the outstretched hand, he noticed on top of thc tallest trees were tufts of feathery leaves���������������������������still green. His heart leapt within him. Her?, at any rate, thc fire had begun tc lose its force. Was it possible after ali that the rain had come in t?h:.o to save Wallaroo! They -galloped on, and as th<:> went, the leaves that the fire had not reached grew lower and lo. cr. At the bend in the gully the undergrowth was still all gone, and the trees scorched and blackened lo a height of ten feet. When they turned thc comer, Reynell's heart almost stood still. Now he would know the worst. He stood up in his stirrups lo sea if his homestead and wheat still remained. Then he sank back in thc saddle with a sob of rci' ?f.

Thc fierce front had dried them befo the flame came. Then old Dwyer. wise in such matters, told hi.s daughter to bring blankets and buckets of water. Now the fight really started. At the edge of tho wheat paddock, eight men against a bush-fire. Eight men and two-women, for both Pattie and her mother played their part well, going to and fvo with heavy buckets of "t.ater. Suddenly on the lc'ft rose a lowing and tinkling. "That's the f cattle." shouted Dwyer. and he beat with renewed energy. Iieynell worked on for years, it seemed. Then, as in'a dream be heard a yelping and au occasional bleat. "That," he thought vaguely, "must be the dogs bringing the sheep. I'm* glad for old Dwyer's ing a large, unshod grey. "Dad," he asked, "mayn't I go?" "Go," said Dwyer. Mrs. Dwyer came out to see them off. "Th' ould horse," she said, "brought the doctor wheu Jim was born, but he's not too ould to take him with the man that helped us." They set out, Jim in the lead, Rcynell half-asleep behind. On _t h ey=_e a n toil _.y were born with," commented Jim, "they knew enough net to come out of the wet:" For some moments he sat there silent.

PLAGUE OP FLIES IN EGYPT. Pests Reported to be Making Life Not Worth Living. Advices from Caliro recall the eighth chapter of Exodus, for a correspondent writes that Egypt is at present in thc throes -of a plague of flies. Never, he says, have they been such nuisances. In the provinces these pests are making life not worth living. Flies are everywhere; nothing seem, to keep them down. Old residents dc- ciare that a plague of this description has not descended on Egypt for very many years. Tt is pretty serious, as flies are tho propagators of many ills, especially ophthalmia, from which the natives are suffering terribly. The Government occulists will have their hands more than full during the duration of thc fly plague. * * Do Not Delay.���������������������������Do not let a cold er cough fasten upon you as it will if neglected.

Although the German railways, unlike the French system, were not conceived and built as a whole, and perhaps because of their lack of cohesion, which has enabled them to avoid some of the faults of a centralized system and secured to the unimportant towns the benefit ci an efficient service, the German- system is to-day very complete and responds very well to the business necessities of the regions served. Thanks to cheap labor, and to the fact that the country for the most part is level, so that it was possible to avoid extraordinary outlay in building, this lack of unity in the construction of German railways has not had the influence it might have had on the cost of tho establishment. Between the Hook of Holland and Berlin ' the railway does not pass through a single tunnel (there is, in fact, not a single railway tunnel in the' whole of" North Germany), nor does it pass through a- single deep_ cutting, -or along a single high embankment. Bridges and viaducts across rivers are the only engineering works of special importance that had to be undertaken. n It 1899 the total cost of all the German lines, now amounting to almost 50,000 kilometres, was stated at 12,403,038,875 marks, or an average cost of no more than 253,615 marks a kilometre.. ������������������K- $ 75 for sp-32 00 ti 125 " 90 00 u 65 " 50 00 a 16 " 9 50 ti 20 " 13 50 a 23 " 14 50 HIS CHOrCE.
