USE FOR SCRAPS OF TIN,

Employed Largely to Stop Rat Holes in Tiouses and Factories. . A two horse loxd of tin clippings was being transferred to the rear busement of a prominent hotel. It had come from a can factory, and the narrow, curling strips had become so twisted and intertwined as to form a congiomerate mass that waar moved with the greatest difliculty by two sturdy fellows with stable forks. A bystander who was curiousenough to inquire what use aswell hotel had forsuch § truck was answered by an attache of the house: ‘‘We use it for rats. I mean the big, gray fellows with whiskers. The ho- tel rat is bigger, bolder and wiser than any other rat. He laughs at traps, fattens on poison, and the killing or chasing of dogs, cats and ferrets is his pet diversion. Even when energetic measures have rid us of the pests they are with us again in augmented force within a day or two. They will tunnel through almost anything for incredible distances. It is their boring ability that has given us so much trouble hitherto. No matter how we closed up thei» passageways, the routes were promptly re- *opened. Filling the holes with broken glass was gonsidered a good scheme until we found that with marvelous patience they removed the glass piece by piece: ‘‘But we think we’ve got them now. With this tangled up tin we construct a sort of abatis, covering all places where the beasts are likely to enter our cellars. They can’t get throught it. They can’t chew it, and they can’t carry it away as they do broken bottles, for, when Mr. Rat takes hold of a single strip of the tin, he finds it an inseparable part of a network weighing many pounds.’’—Philadelphia Record.

A Tall Rat Story.

The London Field tells this story: A rat was caught alive on board a British naval vessel in a trap, and the beast was thrown from the trap into the water without be- ing killed. A large gull that was follow- ing in the wake of the ship to pick up scraps of food thrown overboard by the steward stopped several times, endeavor- ing to pick the rat up. Once the bird got too close to the rat’s jaws and the beast grabbed it by the neck. After a short fight the rat succeeded in killing the bird.

When the gull was dead, the rat scram- bled upon the bird’s body, and, hoisting one wing as a sai] and using the other as a rudder, succeeded in steering for the shore. Whether the rat reached shore or not is the question, since the ship soon got out of sight of the skipper and its craft.

A Wily Watchmaker.

The following story is told of the late Sir John Bennett, the watchmaker: He was, with two friends, traveling up to town from an outlying place some 15 or 20 miles distant, when a little dispute arose as to the exact distance of the jour- ney. ‘The two friends were emphatic in their contradictions of each other’s state- ments, and eventually offered to back their own opinions. At this point Sir John came to the rescue. He would not bear of a money bet, but consented to al- low them to settle matters by betting a ten guinea (Bennett's) watch.

Yielding to Medical Advice.

‘‘Mabel, the doctor says you drink en- tirely too much coffee. It is not good for you.’’

‘Why, mamma, it doesn’t hurt me a particle, and I like it too well to quit using it. I just couldn’t get along with- out my coffee.’’

‘‘And Mme, Loockes, the celebrated au- thority on beauty, says it is ruinous to the coi plexion.”’

‘‘Oh, well, if the doctor thinks I ought not to drink it any more I’) drop it of course.’’—Chicago Tribune.

A Unique Sign.

In the line of novelties of advertising there is one Chicago druggist whose de- parture would be hard to discount. This gentleman, whose place of business is in Hyde park district, announces that he has a choice line of blue blooded Angora cats. H's business cards beara picture cf an aristocratic looking tabby in one cornet, and after the addressare the words, ** Drug Store and Cattery.’’—American Druggist.

AWFUL WICKEDNESS,.

Boarding School Young Ladies Shocked at the Actresses’ Engagements.

When the weather: is fine, neither too hot aor too cold, and the preceptress herself has tested it by sticking her head out of the window, four or: five of the most dig- nified pupils of a North Side boarding school for girls are allowed to: accompany that learned lady in. a. stroll about the most elevating parts of Lincoln park. When the boarding. scheel girl does not follow the lines indicated by comic opera librettists and farce writers, she is apt to go to the other extreme and be very stiff indeed. She has more starch about her than a steam laundry. She can frown you sut of existence at a blow. Her triviali- ties must be all of the most ethereal and esoteric kind. She is bound by eonvention and walled in by formality, and, above all, she isthe properest.creature of a very prop- er age.

Three or four of: the latter class were seated one afternoon on. a rustic torture endeavoring to extract beauty out of the H20 of Lake Michigan. Their guide and teacher wore one of those smiles which, to berrow an expression frem photegraphy, may be called a long exposure.

Presently, on another seat, within easy hearing distance, sat twe fashionably dressed ladies. They were: members of the dramatic profession, althewgh no one could have guessed it by their appearance. From their piquant ways the girls from the boarding school took them to be but- terflies of sosiety, perhaps ornamenting the very top set. They became immediate- ly interested.

‘Did you hearabeut my new engage- ment?’’ said one of the newcomers.

‘‘ Another already? You don’t mean it!” said the other. ‘‘Why. that’s four you’ve had in as many months.”

t Y know it,’’ responded the first, ‘‘and this may not last very long either.’’

It is needless te say that the five young ladies and their preceptress were shocked. They had never heard, even read, of such duplicity.

‘*How do you. like his company?’’ asked one.

‘*Not at all,’’ reptied the other.

“That's too bad,’’ said the first. “I should think yeu would be very happy.’’

“TI would be,’” replied the other, ‘‘but, you see, I’m playing a dual role.”’

‘*Well, it may be trying,’’ responded the second, ‘‘but I wish 1 were in your place. Is he an ‘angel? ”’

“No, but that young mean whom he calls his partner is.’’

This was more than the auditors could stand, and, at a signal from the precep- tress, they marched home thoroughly hor- ror stricken.—Chicago Exchange.
