this city, who found the rats too cunning to be
of meat to a hook, just high enough to COM
pei the rat, in order to reach it, to stand
on his hind legs. and set under Ii a wide
shallow dish of vitriol. Into this the rodents
must step ere they could get at the meat
and he hid himself and watched. One rat
came, shifted at the meat, then walked
around the dish, smelling at the vitriol, and
finally dashed in. In the midst of his feast
something hurt his quarters, and he left-drag-
ging himself along the ground to wipe OFF the
burning liquid. BY and by another came, went
hurry. No rats have been heard of on those
premises since. The whole colony skedaddled.
