Oub Tame Rat. — During the winter even- 

 ings, when the children were engaged with 

 their lesaons, our tame rat, Billy, was usually 

 to be found on the table, rummaging among 

 their books and catching at their pens ; which 

 latter amusement he enjoyed very much after 

 trie manner of a kitten running after a knit- 

 ting-needle drawn quickly up and down the 

 table ; but as these amusements rather inter- 

 fered with the studies, Billy would occasion- 

 ally be dismissed to the kitchen, to which he 

 had a great dislike. He never stayed there 

 longer than he could help, but on the first 

 chance would rush up the stairs and scratch, 

 or rather, I should say, gnaw for admittance. 

 Speaking of this gnawing leads me to observe 

 that one objection I had to receiving him was 

 the fear that he would be very mischievous ; 

 but fortunately I never found him so. He 

 had free access to a pantry where a variety of 

 eatables, usually considered dear to a rat's 

 heart, were to be found ; but I never knew 

 him to injure anything or even to cut the 

 paper covering of any parcel, no matter what 

 it contained. No doubt it was partly owing 

 to his being so well fed that he was not driven 

 to theft by hunger. I generally scattered for 

 him on the shelves some grains of rice or 

 pickles of starch, and to these he helped him- 

 self when inclined. From soap or candles he 

 turned away in disgust, being far to well-bred 

 a rat to indulge in such low tastes ; but he 

 dearly loved a bit of plum-cake ; and, shall I 

 confess it, he was by no means a teetotaler. 

 If ale was used at dinner, he would rush 

 eagerly about the glasses until he was supplied 

 with some in a spoon. I believe, before he 

 came to us, he had been accustomed to even 

 stronger potations, in which, however, we 

 did not indulge him. I have said he was not 

 mischievous, neither was he, as mischief 

 among rats is generally understood ; but 

 there is no rule without exception, and Billy 

 had a decided penchant lor kid-gloves. If 

 any were left carlessly about, he was sure to 

 get hold of them and have the fingers eaten 

 off in a few minutes. I cannot tell how many 

 gloves he destroyed, until repeated lessons of 

 this sort enforced more tidy habits. I must 

 not omit to mention his love of music ; when 

 he heard the piano he would rush to the ' 

 drawing-room and spring to the performer's 

 knee, where he would remain perfectly quiet, 

 evidently listening with much pleasure. 

 When he first came he was very restless, 

 seeming to live in a state of perpetual mo- 

 tion ; but he soon learned to come upon the 

 knee to be caressed and have his head rubbed, 

 which operation afforded him intense enjoy- 

 ment. He would liave lain in a state of su- 

 preme delight for an hour if any one would have 

 rubbed his head for so long.— Chambers' Jour- 

 nal t 



Florida Ship Canal.— Among the most 

 recent of the many plans suggested by the 

 constantly growing need of the Mississippi 

 valley aud the farther West for cheaper trans- 

 portation of their products to the Atlantic 

 seaboard, is the revival of the old plan of 

 building a ship canal across the State of Flo- 

 rida or rather across the peninsula of Ma- 

 tanzas Inlet, on the Atlantic, to Fort Wool or 

 Clay Landing, on the Suwanee Kiver. It is 

 claimed that not more than seventy-five miles 

 of canal would have to be cut on this route, 

 that it would have an excellent harbor at each 

 end, and that the whole route would be well 

 supplied with natural feeders. It would 

 make the distance between New Orleans and 

 New York from 1,000 to 1,200 miles less than 

 the track now sailed over, and would, it is 

 claimed, save yearly $5,000,000 in the way 

 of shipwrecks, and $3,000,000 annually in 

 the way of extra insurance; over $46,000,000 

 in freight, and several millions every year in 

 the way of grain and products, which go to 

 waste in the Mississippi valley for want of 

 cheaper transportation. The canal, when 

 l )U iU would, it is calculated, bring in an an- 

 nual revenue o£ from $8,000,000 to $10,000,- 

 000 and much more when the Darien Canal 

 is completed, and it would throw a vast 

 amount of shipping from California, Japan 

 and China through the Gulf of Mexico aud 

 through the Florida Canal to New York, Liv- 

 erpool and other ports. The connection of 

 the Pacific and the Gulf by canal would ren- 

 der this project worthy of further consid- 

 eration.— Scientific American.
