The dispatch of Minister Hart, at Hogota, Faying that Colombia had imposed discriminating duties en Hour and oilier articles is bot char to the State Department nor to the Colombian minister, as it is not known whether th" discrimination is favorable or unfavorable t,o the Unittd States. The Colombian minister. Dr. Silva, is inclined to believe that there h3s been a reduction of Import dutits on the articles mention d, and, as they are American products, the reduction would be to the advantage of the American trade.

Senator Hanna. General Grosvenor and liepresentative Dick had a protracted interview with the President yesterday. When they left they said a large portion of the time was consumed in the discussion of the army ppointments to be assigned to Ohio. It was stated that the report that Lieutenant Governor John A. Caldwell, of Ohio. Is to be appointed civil-service commissioner to succeed the late Mark Brewer, of Michigan. Is Incorrect. He was recommended for a St. Louis commissionorship by Senator Fg raker, but Ohio is not to have a place on that commission. It is entirely probable, however, ht will be otherwise provided for. The sugar manufacturers of Spain are considerably disturbed over the present conditions of this Industry, according to a report received at the State Department from United States Consul Kidgley. at Malaga. There was a great overproduction during last year, yet in spite of this prices much higher than prevail in the United States have been maintained. The greater amount of the sugar is made from beets, only a very small proportion being manufactured from the cane. The govrrnment tax is so largo us to prevent the exportation -of this commodity and all eflorts towards finding new markets have failed up to the present. The St. Louis exposition commission was not announced yesterday. The friends of the various candidates whose appointment Is in doubt are still pressing the Iresident In their behalf. Representatives Fletcher, Morris and Kddy. of Missouri, yesterday raw the President in behalf of "Professor Northrup. and Representative Dinsmore, of Arkansas, urged the selection of K. D. Scott, of his State. There are to be five Republican and four Democratic members of the commission. The Republican members whose appointment is regarded as certain are ex-Senators Carter. McPride and Thurston and John F. Miller, and the Democrats are ex-Senator Lindsav and ex-Kep-resentatives Allen, of Mississippi, and (Jlynn, of New York. Senator JIawley and General K. V. SumTier. U. S. A., retired, were with the President a short time yesterday. Senator Hawley has asked the President to appoint General Sumner's son a cadet at West Point. "There have been Stunners In the United States army since 177."." said Senator Hawley, "and we cannot have too many of them in the service. The President will appoint him when there is a vacancy. Th? trouble Is there are too few cadetships at large. There are many meritorious cases the President ought to be able to reward. For instance, there v.as young Titus, the soldier lad who lirst scaled the walls at I'eking. The President is going to send him to West Point as a reward for his bravery. Other cases should be similarly rewarded. '

hi: wmin pimsii legislators WHO III'THAY CONSTITIKMS. OjipoMP! FuNionlNfn Voting with lieIiulllcannt tint ut Averne to Ioitillnts Acting virllh Democrats. LINCOLN, Neb., March 23. In connection with a report that a number of f unionists were considering the advisability of voting for Republicans for United State senators, or absenting themselves so that a less number might elect, W. J. Uryan was asked to-night whether he thought any Democrat or Populist would take the responsibility of giving this aid to the Republicans. Mr. Bryan said: "Not unless he i: bought. I shall not assume, without evidence, that any of our legislators are corruptible. No fusionist can have any legitimate excuse for helping the Republicans out of their ditliculty. They have a clear majority in both branches of the Legislature, and if they cannot agree upon suitable men let them take the consequences. No fusionist would dare to face his constituents after voting for the nominee of a Republican caucus and a fusionist who would absent himself in order to help the Republicans would simply add cowardice to corruptibility. The fusionists who have been honored and trustt! by the reform forces owe it to their party to avoid any act of commission or omission which would bring disgrace upon themselves or their party. I would like to see a law enacted making it a capital offense for a representative to betray a constituency." The ballot for senators in joint convention to-day was featureless and without result. Absentees cut down the vottj of D. L Thompson, but his relative position remained unchanged, 'the vote stood: Allen, fusionist, 54; Hitchcock, fusionist, 5; YV. II. 1 hompson, fusionist, IS; Ransom, fusionist, 2T; D. E. Thompson, 55; Mieklejohn. 23; Crounse, 8; Currie, 6; Hlnshaw, 10; Rosewater, 30. Necessary to elect, CO; ten absent or not voting. Representative Sprecher, one of the fusionist lloor leaders of the House, fell in a faint to the floor to-day during the delivery of a speech. He was carried unconscious to the speaker's private room and later to the Governor's mansion, where he remains to-night. x Physicians pronounce his ailment to be nervous prostration, but predict his early recovery. Former Assistant Secretary of War George D. Meiklejohn, to-night gave the following to the Associated Press: "The report, published locally, and sent out from Omaha, as I. understand it, to the Eastern press, that I contemplated withdrawing from th senatorial race, is without foundation. I have given no such intimation of an intention to withdraw. I am in the race to stay." MARINE EAPPSNINGS. The United States cruiser New York will sail from Gibraltar for Tangier on March 2t. Lieutenant Blamcr. U. S. X., left Louisville last night for Old Point Comfort with forty boys and men whom he will place on United States navy training ships.. The Russian cruiser Variag sailed from J Philadelphia yesterday under cabled orers from tho Russian government. The captain refused to answer questions as to the Variag's destination. A dispatch from Calcutta says the British steamer City of Venice, thence' for Liverpool, is aground in a dangerous position on Achlpur sands, seventeen miles below Calcutta, In the River lluoghly. The passengers have been landed. The British steamer Ely, Captain F. E. Corning, from Ceiba, Spanish Honduras, coming: up the river to New Orleans. Friday night, ran down a lugger and sank her. One man. a boy and a woman were picked up, tut two persons were drowned. Just as the steamship Korea, slipped down the ways, at Newport News, yesterday, a colored man among the employes gathered about the vessel, was struck byone of the falling props and received injuries from which he died last eight. It is announced that the Red Cross line and the Rooth Steamship Company, whicrh have been running a steamship service bvtween New York and ports in northern Brazil, have combined. The companies have between them about thirty vessels. Through J. T. Marshand, its special arent, the Interstate-commerce Commission is said to have come into possession of absolute proof thnt rebates have been regularlv paid by Kansas City railroads on cast-bound shipments of packing house products from that place, and criminal prosecutions for violation of the inter-fctate-commerce act may result. The Korea, which was launched yesterday at the Newport News Shipbuilding Company's works, bears the distinction of being up to date the largest steam vessel ever built on this sido of the Atlantic. With a length of 572 feet four Inches and a beam of sixty-three feet she will displace lS,eK) tons on a lraft of seventeen feet. Some idea of the size of the Korea may be derived from the fact that from the top to the bottom of the bare hull is a distance of forty feet, while the distance around her rail Is nearly a quarter of a mile. She is to be fitted" with engines of 1S,0)) horsepower, sufficient to propel her at a speed of from eighteen to twenty knots. The Korea will accommodate 1.4'X) passengers, of which 20 will be lirst cabin passengers. She Is designed for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to ply between San J. ranclsco and Hong-Kong.

Mrs. Helen Hall to Vneate the IHnelc Rock aiansion Latest Claims. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., March 23.-It became known to-day that Mrs. Helen Hall, with her möther and brother, Intends to vacate the Oilman mansion at Black Rock. Mrs. Hall has been In New Y'ork for a week. Her mother, Mrs. Potts, visited the offices of the Bridgeport Trust Company, and stated that she was making preparations to leave Black Rock at once. Edward S. Percival, who represents the full-blood heirs, also visited the trust company tjday, and announced that he also would leave the mansion in the hands of the trust company. As soon as the present occupants leave the house the trust company will take an inventory of the place. Orange Merwin, vice president of tho trust, who has been in New York for two days conferring with the attorneys interested and endeavoring to ascertain the status of Mr. Oilman's tea business, said to-day that he is satisfied that George Hartford, manager of the tea stores, has no documentary evidence of a partnership between himself and Mr. Oilman. It is now believed here that Miss Katherine Kupfer will put in a claim for $lü, X3 for "services rendered." The claim will declare that Miss Kupfer spent four years of her time painting in Mr. Gliman's r-tudy, for which she has not received compensation. It is said that Miss Kupfer asked Mr. Oilman a number of times if she was to be reimbursed for her time and labor, and always received the reply that a fortune was awaiting her. In some circles It is stated that there is a will in favor of Miss . Kupfer, which was made four years ago. MAY STRIKE TO-DAY. Monongnhclu Traction Company Employes Threaten a. Tie-Up. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 24, 2 a. m. A serious strike of the employes of the Monongahela Traction Company, which has lines from Pittsburg to Braddock, Homestead, Duquesne, East Pittsburg and McKeesport, threatening a complete tie-up of the line, hinges on a meeting of employes now in session at Braddock. The men claim the company Is trying to break up their union, while the company assert that th; trouble was brought about by their refusal to reinstate former employes who were discharged because they were obnoxious. Superintendent of Police Leslie has ordered the lines under police guard to anticipate p.ny trouble that may arise. It ie fully expected a strike will be ordered to bein at 5 o'clock this morning. YV. D. Mahon, international president of the Street-railway Employes' Association, tried to adjust the matter with the company, but General Manager Davison refused to treat with him. Mr. Mahon then sent a letter to the general manager, insisting that the men discharged be reinstated, that no man be discharged for connection with the union and-that no men be refused employment for participation in other strikes. The men seem determined to carry their point or strike, and the company is equally determined to run their road according to their own ideas. Mr. Davison says the company has not recognized the union, neither has it refused recognition. He says the men were discharged fcr refusing to teach new men unless the latter first agreed to join the union. One of the discharged men is president of the local union. OBITUARY. J. XV.

WHY CARNEGIE RETIRED

CIRKHS RJSASOX GIVES FOR HIS "WITHDRAWAL FHOM UUSIM2SS. Processes of Iron nnd Steel Manufacture Soon to ClinnRe Tlie Inventor Corralled. Y. G. Nicholas, in New Y'ork Telegraph. One of the paramount reasons impelling Mr. Carnegie to retire from active business has never been made public, so far as I am able to learn. The story Is related by a gentleman who is in a position to be fully advised, and it has the appearance of entire authenticity. According to my informant, Mr. Carnegie became satisfied that in the very near future there -would have to be a complete reconstruction of a majority of tho great Iron and steel plants in the United States nnd the rest of the world in order to make available processes already perfected and under way for cheapening tho production of basic material, and he did not feel equal to the enormous work involved in connection with his own affairs. Mr. Carnegie, it would appear, has had in tow for a year or more a genius in the matter of Inventing such processes, and from ascertained results he is convinced the trade cannot escape the enforced adoption of methods of manufacture simply revolutionary in their scope and character. Other processes, the work of other brains along like lines, have been submitted to the great ironmaster, all looking to the introduction of wonderful economies and all confirming his conclusions that the trade is face to face with the necessity of stupendous outlay in their application. The prospect was appalling to even the indomitable spirit of the Scottish-American Colossus, and he decided to let his successors undertake the tremendous task. He had already scored victories enough to satisfy his utmost cravings and had no appetite for fresh campaigns involving years of unremitting toll and care and the expenditure of scores of millions of money. The latter was regarded as a factor of the least Importance In the estimation of Mr. Carnegie, for in his philosophy every dollar wisely invested in the Introduction of economies of production returns many told. With Mr. Carnegie time was the deterring influence. He does not like to begin a thing without going through with it, anu the revolution in the Iron and steel trade which he sees ahead meant to him three, four and possibly six years taken trom the period he had resolved to devote to the carrying out of his comprehensive rlans of philanthropy and benevolence. To a man as old as Mr. Carnegie, and so wedded to his projects for tho distribution of his millions, the idea was repugnant. It was not to be thought of. Hence his acceptance of terms from Mr. Morgan and his associates, which though colossal in the aggregate involved are understood to be extremely easy in the matter of payments. HIS INVENTIVE PRODIGY. I am not informed as to Just where Mr. Carnegie's inventive prodigy comes In on the combination deal. It is very certain, however, that provision is made for him, for the ironmaster impressed it on the purchasers that he regarded the inventor's identification with the b!g company as almost vital to its continued success. Even though no immediate use is made of him or his processes, it was held by Mr. CarnoRle that arrangement? should be entered into to keep him out of the hands of rivals in America and abroad. The logic of the argument prevailed and the wonder is safely scheduled among the assets of the combine. The phase of tho deal above outlined is said to account in a measure for Mr. Morgan's confidence in the outcome of his latest giant combination and for his independent attitude in negotiations with the people concerned therein. Control of the revolutionizing processes by ownership of the rights or contracts with the Inventor Is believed to be the card up Mr. Morgan's sleeve which he can withhold or play as the exigencies of business may require. With such terrlrtc power in reserve the new combine will be ready for anything or everything that may arit-e in the way of competition at home or abroad. The percentage of economy in production under the newly discovered methods Is only known to a very few, but the figures are startling and are quoted as justifying the extraordinary representations of the great ironmaster, under whose personal directions the experiments and tests have been conducted. I believe that down to date Mr. Carnegie Is free from suspicion of vulnerability to gold-brick advances, and it may be taken for granted that his judgment as to what is a good thing in metal manufacturing is at lenst as sound as the average. My informant may be overenthusiastic as to the value of the processes referred to; but if he is, he merely reflects the views and opinions of the inner council. Not bMng personally a member of that council I am, perforce, obliged to accept information in this Important matter second hand. Should the combine decide to engage in extensive reconstruction of plants, or the building of new ones to avail itself of processes for reducing the cost of manufacture, the excuse will be there for the Issuance of a fresh batch of securities. No such output need be expected, however, until the public has digested those already in the hopper and on the way to the market. The supply may be certain to continue equal to the demand. Wall street has never yet failed In that respect, and if the speculative and investment cannot b.i satisfied without more stock of the United States Sieel Corporation than is now in sight gome way will be found to replenish supplies. Specialists familiar with the foreign industrial and trade situation are becoming more decided in their conviction that European importations of American manufactures will be light for the next fewmonths, if not for a year or more. The bargain counters of Europe are groaning under leads of goods of every kind and description forced on the markets on account of the necessities of the producers. Aggravated Industrial depression prevails throughout middle Europe, and hard times are spreading over Russia as well as France and Great Britain. The foreign banks are likely to have more money than they can find profitable use for; but manufacturing stagnation stares all Europe in the face, without any prospect of relief until enormous surplus stocks of goods are worked off. This situation, it is readily seen, is not conducive to heavy American exports of manufactured articles in the immediate future. CHARACTER IX II AXDW111TIXG. Whnt Various Peculfnritles Are Said to Mean. New Y'ork Tribune. A sheaf of letters from people he did not know was placed before a society man who had made chlrography a study, and who claimed that character could be easily read from a person's handwriting. As in the case of other wizards, It was hard to tell where personal knowledge came in, or if his deductions were purely the result of his theories, but certainly some of his "hits" were remarkable for their accuracy. As he seemed quite ready to explain the reasons for his assertions he obtained many converts. Heavy down strokes, he said, are the signs of strong passions. Letters that increase in size toward the end of a sentence bespeak sincerity. Those that diminish in like ratio signify Insincerity. A slanting hand shows an emotional nature, inclined to be sentimental. A few words In a line denote extravagance, but not generosity, the latter quality oelng shown by a long final stroke to eacu word. A short abrupt stop to each word indicates selfishness. Fleurishes show affectation and self-esteem. Down strokes to y's betray opinionism. Large capitals and small letters mean pride. A tendency to leave a hook on a dash line ending a word snows a love of power. High writing shows nobility; thin high writing, a religious mind. Going below a line with the curves of the letter? betokens a vivid Imagination. - , Lines that have a tendency to skpe up show courage, those that slope down betoken despondency. Letters that are sharp and pointed at thtlr base mean a severe temperament. Closed letters, like "a's" and "o's." if left open at the top show a frank disposition, combined with a sense of nonor. Naturally .vertical handwriting indicates reserve and ind-i rndence. Words written as if in a chain show a studious disposition. J. dash under the xuuae bs a cla oX c sü-ccrclous-

r.ess and also of a wish to be popular. If words are widely eeparateu the writer-has a quick intuition. A ery round tails to "g's" and "yV betoken a lack of Felf-control, and shrrt dashes show suspicion. Of course, different characteristics taken together sometimes alter results, and it is oniy by long practice, according to our expert, that a correct deduction can be drawn from an ordinary letter.

"If I tell you, ladies," he says, "that the process of breathing forms the bedrock ior your physical bui.ding you will agree with me, but If I say to each one of you that you do not breathe enough fully to expand the lungs nor take sufficient oxygen into your system to purify your blood or furnish sufficient vital force to run the human machine in proper manner you may question the correctness of my statement. Accept then this assurance that control of your lungs is the first step. Note my emphasis on tho word control. You must control tho action of the lungs, and the way to do this is by compelling them to expand and contract equally. '"Mere breathing may appear too simple to overcome the many destructive processes within us, but nature has evolved the solar system and all there is in it by this simple push-and-pull movement, and the proper application of the same movement to the human system is sufficient to bring Into harmony its life forces. All is motion. When you were born upon this planet you were set whirling round and round In nature's chariot, making one entire revolution with the earth each day. We never Qid, we never can do anything but move. How important then that we move in harmony with the great law of the universe." The first note made by the pupils in their note books is this: '.'Control of tho motion of the lungs is the point to be gained. Strained action is to be avoided." The first question put to each Individual present was: "Do you wear your clothing loose about your body?" and the second and third were: "Do you allow yourself an abundance of sleep?" and "Do you sleep with a plentiful supply of air -in your rcom?" The first rules given are these: "After retiring at night release body and mind from all tension, and take full and regular inhalations through your nostrils. Hold the breath about one second, take all the time you can to exhale it. Keep this up till jou are weary or fall asleep. "When you awaken in the morning repeat the e:cercise at least five minutes; longer if time permits. "During the day take as many full respirations as possible, exercising care with the exhalations." Mental gymnastics are the only kind taught by this new-century culturist, and with each of the breathing movements given, he Insists upon the pupil's holding the-hought that she is now taking the first step in a new life; and then she is to think of the law of expansion and repulsion. The simple exercises which are correctly learned in the class are continued at home for four cr five weeks. Then in the morning, before dressing, pupils are instructed to double up their fists and gently strike or pound the lungs, beginning at the upward part and extending the treatment downward over the entire chest and abdomen, breathing full and slow at the same time. This exercise, which is from one to three minutes in duration, must be continued ione week, morning and evening. At the fend of this time the percussion is to be extended to the arms and lower limbs. And this exercise Is to be continued one week. And while exercising the arms and lower limbs the thought is to be held that the pupil is applying: this extra motion to assist the inner movements in breaking up and overcoming the inertia, and to Increase the activity of the heretofore dormant organs. One of the many exercises taught is this, which is described as most Important: it Is an exercise that persistently continued wfd raise the physical standard to a condition of perfect harmony, which Is good health. The pupil is told to He on her back, relax the tension of body and mind, and breathe with a quick, rapid motion as though panting for breath. When this is done as often as possible then draw in slowly a long breath and expire it slowly. By such breathing one can generate vital force and make nimble the stiffest muscles. This. like nearly all the exercises taught, should be done in the morning before rising and five minutes is the time to be consumed. Repeated during the day, and again after retiring it will aid in overcoming many of the undesirable conditions that the human body takes on. When a pupil has been through the course as prescribed by this teacher, the final exercife is offered. It is not very different to those who have taken all the prt ceding exercises, but it is not easy to one who tries it without previous practice in breath culture. There is the sarns rule for It that obtains in nearly all the exercises. The pupil assumes a recumbent position and then is taught to hold the breath while making the motion of expansion and contraction in the region of the solar plexus. As Its name implies, the solar plexus is the sun or center for nervous power, and exercise such as this, sends motion waving. leaping and bounding through the entire organism. Pure will is required to make the movement, when the pupil is holding the breath, but once accomplished it Is exhilarating, for every atom, cell and organ of the body responds to the demand of the will. . The elasticity of body and clearness of mind that follow the continuance of these exercises are declared to be beyond credibility, and the poise and comfort that succeed repay those who understandingly take them. "The kingdom of heaven," sqys the teacher, "is within you. And this is the last place where people think of looking for it. They are so extremely discordant that they can see no possibility of reconstruction by any known process, and so they try to ease their terror-stricken minds by a belief in some miraculous Interposition. But no one will ever find heaven in any other sphere or place than within himself; and this man will never do till he ceases to expend all his efforts in the investigation and worship of things outside himself. He has turned his attention to everything that came within the scope of his five senses or that his imagination could conceive, but seems not to know that he is governed in his involution in matter on this earth and his evolution from it by the same laws that govern all things, and that the secret of life is to bo found in breath, controlled by will.' CIIIXESE ADVERTIS1XG. Specimen Announcement of nn Oriental Patent Medicine Maker. Fourth Estate. Advertising in Chinese newspapers Is done In much more enticing language than In this country. Perhaps this is necessary in order to make an impression on the Chinese readers, who are inclined to be rather phlegmatic. Here, for instance, Is the announcement of the maker of quack medicine: "Our recipe has come down to us from a physician of the Ming dynasty. A certain mandarin was Journeying in the hill country, when he saw a woman passing southward over the mountains, as though tljing. In her hand she held a stick, and she was pursuing an old fellow of a hundred years. The mandarin asked: " 'Why do you beat that old man?' She answered: 'He is my grandson, for I am 500 years old and he is 114. He will not purify himself by taking his medicine, and so I am beating him.' "The mandarin alighted from his horse, knelt down and did obeisance to her, saving: 'Give me, I pray you, this drug, that I may hand it down to posterity for the salvation of mankind.' "Hence it got its name 'Fairy Receipt for Lengthening Life.' Take it for five days and the body will feel light, take it for ten days and your Eplrit3 will become brisk, for twenty days and the voice will t strong and clear and the hands and feet suprle, for one year and white hairs will become black again, and you move as though flying. - "Take it constantly nnd all troubles will vanish, and you wlil pass a long life without growing old.

My loved one has, it is plain, been enticed away by this rascal's deceit. How. I wonder, can a mere tailor's dummy like this succeed In winning her? "Surely he has net law or Justice before his eyes.

New York Mail and Express. The common little house mouse is probably the best known wild animal in America. It is almost impossible to avoid learning something of the appearance and habits of this little fellow, lor he acts as a private tutor on the subject in almost every household. As few of us are fond enough of him, however, to pay strict attention when he presents himself as an object lesson, a brief description of his external appearpnee may not be out of place. In a certain quaint dictionary 1 once possessed the definition of "mouse" was given as "a small rat." and this is not such a very bad one, alter all, except for the fact that the reader is apt to bo less familiar with the abearance of a rat than of a mouse. The total length of the latter animal is about iix and three-eighths inches, of which the tail takes up nearly one-half. His head is longlsh and his nose sharp. Hb ears are If.rge and erect, with very little hair on either surface. His legs are Flender, and his delicate little toes are provided with sharp, slightly hooked nails. His tail is rcund and tapering, scaly and with a slight covering of short hair. In color, he is clusky gray above and ashy beneath. His eyee and most of his whiskers are black, end his front teeth are yellowish. Altogether he is a very dainty little fellow, and if persons would only stop to study him a little, instead of throwing: things at him or calling in he cat every t me he puts in an appearance, they would soon find him a very intelligent and attractive companion. He is agile end graceful in his movements, and not at all vicious in disposition. For some time past I have had a number of mice in captivity, and I find them very amusing pets. They will can anything:, and are so tamo that they will take food from my hand or drink from a little vessel held in the fingers. They are most active at nipht, but oftn play about In the daytime. They are very bright, and immediately give their attention to any unusual sight or sound. To do this they usually pause with their head slightly on cr.c side, and with a most inquiring look in the eyes. After eating they wash themselves very rapidly with their front paws. When there is an abundance of food mice eat a great deal, but they seem able to live on very little, and when once well established in a house, they manage to get along somehow, even if the provisions are carefully locked up for months at a time. When hungry, however, they are very persevering in their efforts to get food, and will gnaw their way into boxes and cupboards, scale walls, and even cross ceilings when the latter are roujh enough to afford a hold for their sharp, hooked claws. They have been known to descend a rope and eat up the contents of a basket hanging from the ceiling. They make their nests of scraps of paper, wool, rags or any soft material, which they usually chop up very small with their teeth. These homes are usually made in a hole in the wall, or beneath the floor, or in an old box, drawer or other convenient place. Often when clearing out an old desk or trunk one comes upon pueh a nest, made of fine particles of old letters, penwipers and such like things. There are several litters of youns every year, and generally from four to ten In a litter. When the j'oung ones are born they are very small, pink little creatures, naked and blind. The mother Is devoted to them, and tends them with great care and evident affection. When they are a few weeks old they begin to come out of their hole to play about and see what the world is made of. They may easily be distinguished from the older ones by their smaller size and younger looks. While the normal color Is jrray, very rarelj a black specimen is- seen, and the white mice, with red eyes, which are often kept as pets, are albinos of this species. Others are spotted black and white, and at times have been sold at quite good prices as "fancy" mice. Of the many enemies of the little rodents, perhaps, the house cat stands at the head of the list. Many people judge a cat chiefly by her qualities as a mouse hunter, and, all things considered, it is. perhaps, just as well i.at she does take a hand In the game occastonalls'. Next to the cat, perhaps, the owls and hawks account for the greatest number, and foxes, 'coons, weasels, skunks and crows all look upon mice as a delicacy. But the troubles of the rodents do not end here. Scores of Ingenious traps have been Invented for their destruction, and they are also poisoned in great numbers every year. When it becomes necessary to destroy mice, perhaps, the most humane way to do It is with the spring trap, which kills them instantly with a blow. Poisoning is very cruel, and this method is also a menace to human life, not only because it Is always dangerous to have poison where there Is a possibility of children getting hold of it, but because the mice are apt to die in the walls, floors and other inaccessible places. Drowning is also cruel, though I once knew two dear elderly ladles who were so kind-hearted that they used to drown their mice in warm water "because," they said, "It is so cruel to drown tne poor things in cold water, in the middle of winter, too."
