JUST A RATTRAP.

But It Brought the Savant De yn to the Plain World Agat:y"

The professor had beer, ; :tertaining the crowd with his thogr¥ 5/1 the age of the world, the graduai de\Jopment of man, the reason for the eatin of the soa, and so forth, when a man with three rattraps in Jis hand came up the veranda steps and said:

**Mister, I’ve only got three left, and I'll knock 5 cents off the price of one if you want it.’’

The savant reached for one of the traps and inspected it with a great dea) of curiosity and finally inquired:

“Will you kindly inform me what this is?’’

‘‘Why, sir, it’s a rattrap,’’ replied the peddler.

“‘A rattrap? What is the ebject of it?”

**To ketch rats, of conrse.’’

**And how do you catch them?’’ con- tinued the all wise savant as he again inspected the trap-

* All you have todo is to place cheese in the center, and the rat will go intc this hole after it. When he wants tc come out, these wires will prevent, and there you have him.’’

‘‘And what do you do with him?”’

‘‘Drown him generally.’’

‘* And is it customary to catch rats in traps and then destroy them?’’ innocent- ly asked the professor, after taking two minutes to puzzle over it.

‘Say, what kind of a man are you?’’ demanded the peddler in reply. ‘Didn’t you ever see a rattrap before?’

‘*‘Never—to know its use.’’

‘‘And you never caught a rat?’’ '

** Never.’’ :

The peddler reached for the trap with an offended air, and it was plain that he thought he was being guyed. There was real anxiety in the professor’s tones, however, as he said:

‘‘My friend, what is the price of this trap?’

‘‘Thirty cents?’’

‘I will give you 50, and if you will set it so that I can catch a rat tonight I will give you $1 tomorrow. I know when the crust of the earth began to ccol, when life first appeared on this globe, when the mountains were up- heaved and the great lakes were scooped out, but I never knew that such a thing as a rattrap was in existence. Here’s your money, and now if you will kindly show me how to put in the cheese and where to place the trap I shall bope to imprison a rodent. Um! A rattrap, to catch rats! Wonderful, wonderful! I must exhibit the trap to my class and institute some interesting experimexts.’' —A. B. Lewis in Truth.

Herbert Spencer is keeping five secre- taries busy at his hired home in Brighton trying to bring his biology up to date. Is is a great task, especially as he himself can only give about an hour’s work a day even when he feels his best, and much of the time he can’t do that.

Uncle Nick Young might obviate all the difticulty by permitting the several base- ball teams todo their own umpiring.— Wasbington Post.

Science goes mad when a professor in- yents a gun to take the place of a baseball pitcher, With the inventor chasing around the youth at his play, it may be seriously questioned whether life is worth living.— Springfield Republican.

Quite an excitement has been caused by the invention by a Prineston professor of a baseball pitching gun and its successful test, but the higher civilization will not really be advanced till human ingenuity has presented the world with an automatic umpire impervious equally to reason and abuse. —Baltimore American.

Barrings are again brought to notice with the revival of Victorian gifts.

Pearls are if possible more popular than ever, being worn alike by maid and ma- tron.

Charmingly effective is a star brooch with raysof green and red enamel and diamond sparks.

A popular design for scarfpins is the erossed gold hunting crops, with a dia- mond horseshoe passed over them.

Very pretty are the little handkerchief bags made of knitted silk and embroidered in colored beads. Their value as well as beauty is increased by the gold ¢lasp with which they are mounted.—Jewelers’ Cir- cular.
