usual caution of rats, few drops of this

trap you choose to employ.
Sometime during the last century, gov
ernment ordered certain number Of men
to be levied from the different parishes,
and the local authorities generally fixed
upon such as were charegable with petty
crimes, or who were employed in the least
necessary avocation. James Runciman,
a rat catcher in Mid. Lothian, was consid-
cred as belonging to the latter class, snll
accordingly sent on board one of His
Majesty's ships, where, not liking his
new profession, he connterfeited insanity.
1t happened that the ship was annoyed
with rats, and Runciman. overhearing
the captain and one Of his mates consult
ing how they could be destroyed. exelaim-
ed, whats all this about rats. when I'm
on board ?" "You on board" cried the
captain, land what can you do 90 81

"The deuce you cam" exclaimed the
captain, Il should like very much TO see
it." Runciman went below, got razor
blade, rubbed it over with liquid that
belonged to his profession, wetting the
heels Of his shoes with the same materi-
al he then fixed the razor endways on a
plank on the deck and went down to the
stewards room, where the smell from his
shoes attracted the rats, who followed
him to the deck, and pressing to get at
the scented razor blade, cut themselves
on It's keen edge. Launch a boat. and
send that wizard on shore, for l won't
sail with him." cried the captain. who,
like most sailors, was very superstitious.
So Runciman was restored to liberty,

WEBsTER's SPELLING BooK.-The first
draft of Webster's Spelling Book" was
made in the year 1882. Most persons re-
garded his design as useless, and many
had strong objections to the changes he
proposed. Only two of his friends, John
Trumbull and Joel Barlow, encouraged
him with any hope of success mo
printer would undertake the publication
on his own responsibility and Mr.. Web
ster was at last obliged to incur the whole
risk. with certainty. if the book failed,
of being made bankrupt for life"
Though the work was on the whole re-
ceived favorably, yet it made its way
slowly into schools for number of years.
AS it became more popular, the booksel-
lers were glad to.purchaSe the copyright,
by allowing him few mills on each
copy. Though Mr.. Webster's share of
the profits was small, yet it furnished. at
a subsequent period, nearly all the sup
port of his family during the twenty years
which he bestowed on the preparation of
the American Dictionary. Thirty-three
millions of the Spelling Book" have
now been printed, and the circulation in
1854 was 1.129,000 copies. "Without
the Spelling Book, the Dictionary could
never have existed. "-Bar6sr's Sketches
EASTER DXr.-It is stated that the
Council of Nice, in the year 325, laid
down the rule. that Easter Sunday should
be the first Sunday after full moon, which
happens upon, or next after the 2lst Of
March. "Then the Fast Of Lent is con-
tinued for forty days before Easter Sun
day, and the first of those days is called
Ash Wednesday, from a custom Of sprin-
king ashes on that day. Shrove or Shrive
Tuesday is the day preceding, on which
the folks shrive or confess to the priest,
and are allowed to make merry after
wards, from whence came the custom of
cock-fghting, DC, on that day. Shrove
Tuesday is the next Tuesday after the
first change of the moon in February.
The earliest day on which Easter can fall
is the ODD of March, and the latest the
18th of April. Suppose the full moon
to occur on the oath of March, the first
full moon after the 21st of March would
not occur until the 18th of April. In
1859. Easter will fall on the oath of April.
In 1845 it fell on the 23d of March. In
1918 it fell on the earliest possible day,
the 22d of March.
