Herring of Rockport, a ranch- ( man of the coast country, says, when I heavy rises come out of the Guadalupe and other TexaE rivers large rafts of drift are washed into the bay and rat tlesnakes are often seen on them. This driftwood goes ashore on the islands and that starts the snakes. They were caught in the drift meshes on the mainland and clung to'the rafts as thoy were washed downstream and into the bays. Mr. Herring has killed them on such occasions. At one time there were no jackrabbits thereon, but now there are thousands.-Austin (Tex.) Dispatch to Philadelphia North American. Tree Prevents Suicide. Driven to attempt suicide by the failure of her father on the stock ox change, and consequent poverty, a young Japanese girl recently threw herself into the ocean from the top most cliff of the sacred Isle of Eno shima. She was caught and pinioned by the branches of a giant tree which leaned far out over the sea. It was not until 17 hours later that her cries were heard by a fisherman passing in a sampan and she was rescued, serious ly, but not mortally hurt. In Doubt. "I gave my wife a fine little dog," remarked the inconsequential look ing man. "Does she like the dog?" "I'm not sure. The first thing she did was to name it after me and the next was to tell the servant to keep it shut up in the basement." Practice Versus Theory.

Hot or cold water flows from the name spigot and the handles on the washstand faucet have been rendered )bsolote by a new arrangement, which provides' a foot control for the flow of water. Sanitary cleanliness is the prime object of the new arrangement, but convenience is also an important consideration. In the state of Illinois it is com pulsory to supply running water in factories and such places, and simi lar measures have been enacted or are under consideration in other states, the object being to prevent the contamination which is likely to occur when the washstand is used in common. The pedal attachment Is placed under the washstand a few inches inside of the front line and to one side, preferably the right side, and connections are made with two valves located under the washstand. The location of the pedal is con venient to the foot and the pressure exerted in the center of the pedal causes a mixture to issue from the spigot, while if the foot is shifted to the right or left the temperature is made hotter or colder as desired. WORK FOR WOUNDED SOLDIER Scotch Professor Suggests That They Might Be Employed in the Exter mination of Rats. An Edinburgh (Scotland) professor in a recent letter to a newspaper sug gests new work for wounded soldiers. Apropos of the suggested tax on cats, he says: In place of taxing cats, I would urge the government to organ ize, not after the war, but now, a fully equipped and eicient department for the extermination of ruts, and employ wounded soldiers to do the mechanical part of it. The systematic breeding, collecting and distributing of types of cats known to be superior ratters would comprise an important section of the work, but, to make a clean sweep of the most destructive animal pest from which the country groans, much light labor and personal super vision, and a good deal of simple lab oratory work under scientific expert guidance would be necessary. By this means many men whom the country will be in duty bound to support, might find congenial employment, not to men tion the saving to the country of an enormous sum of taxable wealth. Pushing Electrical Devices. A New York electrical firm has re cently opened a school for housewives which has greatly augmented its sale of domestic appliances. The school is equipped with electric lamps, perco lators, chafing dishes, toasters and al most -every known electrical cooking device. The students are taught to use them all. A meter in full view keeps tab upon the amount of current expended. The expense is divided among the different articles cooked, and is proved to be less than gas un der ordinary conditions. Vacuum clean era, sweepers, washers and motors for running the sewing machine are also being demonstrated as a means of creating greater interest in elec trical appliances. Annulated. There had been a wreck on the Mo non at Sheridan. The agent had noted the fact on the board in the waiting room, adding the words, "Train an nulled." Two paper carrier boys, who had not been notified of the annulment, were waiting for the train to bring their pa. pers, when one of the lads entered the waiting room and noticed the board "Train annulled." He hurried out to his companion, ex claiming: "Why, Herman, all the trains have been 'manulated'i" "Say, Herman, you (10 not inean 'manulated,' you mean 'annulated.'" Indianapolis News. Moslems Preaching From the Bible. There is a changed attitude through out the Moslem world, also on the part of the educated classes, as regard11 their own religion. Where formerly their line of defense was the tradi tions and their nmethod of attack the statements of the Koran, they have now chosen for their arena in the fight for truith the Old and New Testainent. A Moslem in India wrote a commen tary on the book of Genesis. In Cairo they have reprinted whole portionq of chapters from the New Testament as a proof that all Christlans should be Unitarians! More Moslem pupils are attending the mission secfools than ever before.-Christian Herald. Cab Can't Tip Over. A city cabman of London has de vised and built an attachment in the form of a third wheel for his cab, which, he claims, adlequately proventy the cab from upsetting, even in gein around the sharpest and swiftest of curvos. The additional wheel is placed under the driver's seat, almost in dangerous proximity to the horse's heels. It is fitted with springs on either side and performs the incidental function of absorbing jars and jolts. Popular 6cience Monthly. Pild Mice Threaten Harvest.
