The only wild animal that lives inder the same roof with man is he rat, says the Literary Digest. iVe pay for its keep, although we ire not on friendly terms with it. n roturn it nlacues us in manv - - I o vavs. It gnaws our walls and furliture, steals our food and, above ill, is active in the spread of disease. The annual rat bill of the United States for food alone is es;imated by Mary Dudderidge, writng in the Forecast, at $160,000,000. The rat not only disseminates bu>onic plague, but carries tapeworms, trichinae, flukes, ^ roundworms and other parasites, besides 3eing suspected as a:i active agent n communicating leprosy and infantile paralysis. It can gnaw ;hrough any common building material except stone, hard brick, cenent, glass and iron. It destroys whole fields of grain, climbs trees to steal fruit, eats both fowls and their eggs and destroys game. It steals costly furs and laces for its aests when it can get them. Much >f our annual loss by fire is due to the rat, and it also starts floods by burrowing in dams and levees. , The modern way of attacking the rat, this writer says, "is to build it >ut." The ratproofing of buildings a described as "a cheap form of in : i. a j 4.;i - ? luruuue tig nuns i* ure auu Miss Dudaeridge continues: "When rats get into ratproof buildings we have to resort to traps ind poison to get them out, the forner being the least objectionable. In the use of traps it must be borne in mind that the rat is eitremely cautious and will not enter strange looking contrivances in search of food if plenty of other nourishment that is not open to suspicion is available. The trap should be strong enough so that the rat cannot force its head between the wire and escape and should be dipped in boiling water or smoked before being set, to kill the human smell or that of rats previously caught. It should not be placed in an open space, but along the wall or in a narrow runway, for the rat's vision is somewhat defective in the daytime, and, depending on its whiskers as a guide, it has to keep close to .11 ? 1 J 30ine wan or uuier uounuai v. nan makes an excellent bait, but any. odorous edible different from the animal's customary diet is likely to attract it. Poisoning should not be resorted to in duellings, and some of the most efficient poisons are so dangerous that they should be used only by experts." Kean and Macraady. When Edmund Kean and Macready, intense rivals, played in the samf pieces at Drury Lane it was usual to consult them in the course of the evening as to what they would appear in next. One night when the prompter was sent to ask Mr. Macready what he would play with Mr. Kean the great tragedian frowned upon him till he blushed. "Sir," he roared, "how should I know what the man would like to play?" The prompter retired to seek the desired information from Mr. Kean. "Sir," said Mr. Kean sharply, "how* should T know what the fellow can play?" No Norvoua Strain. Crawford ? The elephant sleeps only five hours out of every twentyfour. Crabshaw?Very true, but just stop and consider that the elephant doesn't have to attend lectures or the opera, listen to sermons or lend an ear to some fellow's description of his newest baby or car, and you will realize that he has a pretty- soft time of it, taken all in all.?Life. Skin of 8h?rk?. The rough skin of sharks is employed by joiners for polishing fine grained wood and for covering the hilts of swords, tools, and tjie like, to make them firmer in the grasp. The flesh is coarse, but is sometimes eaten. The fins abound in gelatin and are much used by the Chinese in making a rich gelatinous soup. The liver yields a large quantity of valuable oil. St. Pater's In Roma. In Rome fifteen architects succeeded one another in the construction of St. Peter's during the pontificates of twenty-eight popes and during a period of 17o years. According to the calculation of Carlo Fontana, the cost of the building, exclusive of the bronze used, was. over $60,000,00j. Id takes $.30,000 a year to keep the edifice in repair. Gats Him Anyhow. Mrs. Xoseup had always contended that her husband's tobacco habit was a vile and injurious one. J 'There," said Mr. Noseup, turning away from his scientific journal. "It says here thai t;here are no microbes to be found in tobacco." "That's where the microbe shows his good sense, Mr. Noaeup."?Exchange. i 1 ARTIFICIAL HONEY. Three 8impl* Method* by Which It May Be Made. . Artificial honey, which has been , | manufactured in some European countries for many years, is said to give even- satisfatcion in making cakes, etc. Those who have tried the three following reripes\laim that they give excellent results and that the finished article can scarcely be told from genuine honey: I uau?a puunu ui ou^ai, uuu ? pound of glucose, half a pound of pure honey and a gill and a half of ^ water. Place the sugar, glucose and the water in a stewpan, put it on the fire and stir till the sugar is dissolved ; then put the lid on and boil up. When it has boiled for a few minutes clip a pair of scissors into it, pull them out and take the sugar in the fingers. If it will roll up to a soft ball it is ready. Until it does ? form a nice soft ball when tried it must be kept boiling and covered with the lid. When it is ready pour it out into a large bowl, add the honey and work it together well; then put in bottles while it is warm. A little honey coloring consisting of three parta yellow coloring ana one part of brown coloring should be added to give the desired shade. Any chemist will put up the coloring for you for a very small sun>? sufficient to last for many boilings. Second.?A pound and a quarter of sugar, three-quarters of a pound of glucose, half a pint of water and half a pound of pure honey. | Put the sugar, water and the glhcose in a stewpan, place it on t&e fire till the sugar has dissolved; then put the lid on and boil up well till the whole is a creamy mass. Take the pan off the fire, let it cool a little, then add the honey and well beat it in. Also add a little honey coloring to give it the desired tint. When well creamed up fill into jars while warm and tie down. Third.?This is a cheaper recipe than the others. A pound of sugar, a quarter of a pound of honey, a gill and a half of water, a quarter of a pound of glucose. Put the sugar, honey and water in a stewpan, put it on the fire and, when boiling, add the glucose. Put the lid on to keep the steam in. Try it as directed in the other recipes and, when creamy, take it off the fire, add some coloring and beat it up till a very soft cream.?Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. Ida Lewis and Punch. The late Ida Lewis, keeper of the Lime Rock light at Newport, saved mnnv sailors from drowning and saved manv, too, from drunkenness. She once rebuked a half dozen sailors who were preparing to brew a bowl of strong punch. "It will get you into trouble," she said. "These strong punches always do. A fine young sailor? but he's filling a drunkard's grave today?once offered me a glass of punch, paying: " 'Drink it, ma'am. It's food and drink in one.' " Tes,' I said, 'and a night's lodging as well if you take enough of it'"?Exchange. Troo to Nowtpapor. A trial was made in Austria to decide in how short a space of time living trees could be converted into newspapers. At Elsenthal, one day at 7:3o in the morning, three trees ??? /lAn*n A 4- O wa/%/1 HC1D anni'U UUIIU. ai; </ .UT Wiu ? uwy having been stripped of bark, cut up and converted into pulp, became paper and passed from the factory to the press, from which the first printed and folded copy was issued at 10 o'clock. So that in 145 minutes the trees had become newspapers. The age of miracles is not past. Lik* Curing Like. "So Jimmy has beeta half drowned again, has he, going out in a rowboat against my express order? Well, I am going to cure him of his love of sea travel by the homeopathic method." "How's that?" "T am coiner to take him to the O ?o , . . woodshed with me on a whaling trip."?Baltimore American. A Good Talker. "Does your son take after you?" "I used to think he was going to, but now that he's in college he shows every sign of taking after his mother." "That so?" "Yes; the only thing he's made since he's been there is the debating society."?Detroit Free Press. Paper In China. The natives in some parts of Indo-Ohina employ various fibers in the attempt to supply their own paper. The tillage du Papier, a suburb of Hanoi, owes its name to the strange fact that most of its two or three thousand inhabitants make paper from the bark of a small "paper tree," a species of mulberjy, found on the Black riyer, in upper Tonkin. t-i, M
