Mr.. President. one word rs to how oir
quotas were made up. The Senator from
Lincoln tells us they were made upon
tho basis of population which would seem
very reasonable, inssmuoh as each town
has population to protect and defend, snd
as life should protect life, we see no impro.

made to protect property so far as 1t is
possible to do so, and every dollar in the
State of Maine should be made to bear its

quotas in this case had been thus made up,
they would have differed from what. they

Hence il will he seen ut glance that the
smaller or agricultural towns in most In

portion to their population, than the coln-
narcial towns, because they had more men

Rats live in Europe, Asia, Africa, and in
North and South America. They also are
great travelers-going from one country to
another in ships. When the ship sinks
they always go ashore. This is wise in the
rats. II they did no, do so they would
find wa,ery grave. Rats are naturally
grure animals. There are several kinds Of
m,s-house rats, girn rats and ratification.
Rats in color are always gray. Hence
the expression, "gray as rat"
Rats and rat holes are always found to.
gethcr. Rats dig their own holes. If you
can't find the hole, give the rat chance
and he will find il for you.
Rats cannot live in Alaska-because their
holes freeze up solid rs fast as the rats dig
them. Naturally the rats get discouraged.
At ST. Thomas the earthquakes turn their
holes wrong side out ior,y.thrce times q
minute. This surprises the rats, and they
leave on the first steamer.
Tho largest rat hole in the world is in
Washington. It can be iound for the pres.
ent ar the White House. It is used for con-
fi-ca,ing poor whiskey into.
Rats are easily domesticated. Any one
can keep few dozen in the cellar if they
feed them well. Arsenic does not agree
with rats. Il makes them feel thirsty, and
they sometimes kill themselves drinking.
Rats are good scasengcrs. They will
clean out house in thirty days.
The female ra, always brings forth her
young in pairs-sencr,ly several pairs at
once. Some people think that rats were
made to amuse rat terriers. II may be 50.
Young rats are nice picked. Mixed half.
and half with picked pears, few barrels
would last small family some time. In
eating always take them by the stems. You
can tell ra, from pear because the stein
does not pull out so easily.
Rats are also made into pies. They are
called rat pies. The Chinese eat so many
Of them that the hair grows from one small
spot on the head aud hangs down behind.
It always grows braided. It is called a
''pig tail" Rats have been an article OF
commerce in this country for some time.
Young ladies' buy and hide them in their
hair.
Very good imitation rats can bo male Of
old pants, old CATERS. hens feathers, or old
stockings.
From muskrats we get the musk OF COM
mercc. The rats are caught AMI then boil.
ed in potash kettle. The musk rises and
is skinned otf and put up in pint bottles.
!; is very nice to pu, on the handkerchief
A pint will be as much rs most young men
need ar once if they smell very bad they
can use more.
This kind Of rat is commonly called
"mu.h rat" have never known them TO
I've used to flavor m,Ish or cooked with
mush in any way. The only one I ever
saw ,ha, could properly be called mush
n, wa caught in a dead fall. He was a
good deal mushed.
Of ratification It is unnecessary to speak
unless Congress rntifes the contemplated
purchase Of ST. Thomas. lf they 'lo,
hope Congress will give 'em rats. That's
all know about rats.
