The bill of damages which civili zation holds against the rodent foots up into tremendous figures. Accord-! ing to the experts of the bureau of biological survey of our Department * 4 14 TT?nl/, Com ilnno Viae < 01 Agriculture, UiUJic uaui muuv, to pay $160,000,000 every year on I account of property damages inflicted by the pest. John and the Kaiser between them have to fork over $150,000,000. The rat bill of the | world would reach into the billions. \ Sir- James Crichton-Browne, presi-j dent of a recently formed interna- j tional union of scientific organizations working together for the extermination of rats, declared that every rat in the United States costs the citizens at least two cents a day for its keep. In England a rat costs! from half a cent to five cents daily. The British India rat is the most expensive rodent of them all, or there each of the innumerable swarming millions of the pests consumes j on an average of three cents daily. If you add to the cost of the board and lodgings of rats the expenses of maintaining quarantine operations against them and of fighting the diseases spread hy them, the average specimen of the rodent tribe preying on civilized nations may be said to cost us from seven to ten cents a day.?Success.

Two belated disciples of Bacchus daggered arm in arm up Walnut itreet about 3 O'clock the other b norning, says the Philadelphia Rec- b )rd. The street was dark, except for a single ground glass globe that f jlazed in front of an apartment t louse. One or tne meoriates, spymg u ;his lone light, observed: ( "Oh, look at zhe moonsh." ^ The other seriously contradicted aim, saying: "That ain't monsh, sash sun." This started an argument, which * lasted for several minutes, as to whether the globe was the moon or " the sun. Finally they decided to ieave it to the first passerby, who i happened to be another "happy" f gentleman. They stopped him, and, r pointing to the globe, asked: J' "Settle an argument, old pal; is c that the moon or the sun?" t The third party stared knowingly at the globe for several minutes before he shook his head and replied: ? "Gentlemen, I really couldn't tell 1 you. I'm a stranger in this town." His Fixed Income. * A southern congressman, who formerly practiced law in Mississippi, tells of an amusing case he once i tried in that State. He was then a J ^ student in the office of his uncle, at. Colonel Martin, who figured in local politics. ] The main figure in the trial was a i lazy darky named Dick Sutton, ar-! < rested at the instance of his wife, . who alleged that he contributed j nothing to her support and refused to ; < work. j 1 During the examination of Sutton!* the young laVyer asked: |1 "Dick, have you any fixed income?" Sutton was puzzled by the term. ! Counsel explained that the expres-1 sion meant a certainty, money paid ; not for odd jobs, but for steady em- j ployment; in other words, a compen-| sation at stated intervals on which j one could absolutely rely. I Upon the conclusion of counsel's remarks, the darky's face brighten-.' ed. "I think I has a fixed income, j sah," said he. "And what is this fixed income?"! was the next question. "Well, sah." answered Dick, with ! a broad grin in the direction of Col. i Martin, "de colonel dere allers give ! me fo'- dollars an' a sack o' flour on i 'lection day!" ??
