RAT STORIES.

A work recently published in England,
on "Waste Products and their utiliza-
ton, contains some curious and amusing
matters. The statements concerning rats,
living and dead, are especially remarkable.
The bones of defunct animals are largely
in demand everywhere, for buttons, knife
handles and various other purposes. But,
to make these bones marketable, they must
be cleaned To boil them or apply decom-
posing substances to take off the adhering
flesh, Injuries the bone. To clean them by
hand would add too much to their cost.
There is a "pound" in Paris, about ten
acres in extent surrounded by stone wall;
to this receptacle all the carcases of dead
animals from the city are brought; and
here the problem of bone cleaning is solv-
ed. The city authorities colonized the
place with rats from the catacombs. They
do the work of bone cleaning artistically,
polishing the bones gratuitously as no
human cleaner could do, without great
trouble and expense. With the rodents it
is a work of love, impaired by voracity;
and a carcass, dumped in the enclosure one
day, is found on the morrow ga neat and
polished skeleton" The bones are all
ready to be sawed up into the frames of
ladies' fans, and to touch beautiful noses,
all unconscious of the odors which the
elegantly carved toy exhaled but few
weeks or days before.
But the four-legged operators "grow by
what they feed on" sleek individually,
but collectively "too numerous to men,
tion." There is such an increase of labor
ers over the demand, that the rats employ
ed to keep down waste become waste "
themselves. They in their turn are "util-
ized," and human ingenuity is too much
for animal sagacity. All around the in
side base of the wall of the enclosure are
perforated cylindrical holes, in diameter
the size of a rats body, and in depth equal
to his length. At break of day, once
month, a calathumpian band" armed
with drums, tin kettles and whatever else
will make horrid noise, rushes in among
the rats. Thus " charivaried" into NOR
tai terror, the poor rats poke their heads
into the first holes they find. Rat catchers
each equipped with a bag over the left
shoulder, rush around and seize the rats
by their protruding tails and whip them
into the bags with wonderful and dexter
Gus celebrity. The privilege of catching
the rats is paid for, and the catchers make
a good thing out of the sale of the fur, the
skin and the flesh. The fur is used among
other purposes, for hats. The skins fur
nsh thumbs for kid gloves. Fur and skin
are sometimes used together. But-the
flesh? After such a revelation the GUS
toners at cheap Paris restaurant might
say: In that savory dish what rats may
come "must give us pause ~
Rats, it will be seen, have thus reached
the dignity of articles of commerce in

at the columns foot, turning these things
over and over in their thoughts, they were
suddenly startled by the sound of some OBJ
ject falling, with metallic clinking sound,
on the pavement of the square. Every
thing that befel now was of the most pro-
dgious moment, and Lippo rushed to the
spot, and falling on his knees on the
ground made eager search for the object,
whatever it might be, whose fall had pro-
duced the sound. An exclamation of dis
may brought Brigida to his side. He was
holding in his hand the file which so short
time before they had seen drawn up to
the top of the column.
What is that has happened ?" faltered
Brigida. Her faculties were in some sort
benumbed by long tension, and she could
not understand, only felt that something
was wrong.
He has dropped it while at work." re-
piled Lippo. "We must send it up to him
again, but how? The silken cord is drawn
up-ah, there is the rope %
AS Lippo spoke, he looked up and saw
what seemed to take the very power of
speaking away from him. He stretched
out his hand, and seizing Brigida by the
wrist, pointed upward towards the top of
the column.
A dim faint glimmer of approaching
dawn was just beginning to make itself
felt rather than seen, in the eastern quarter
of the sky. 1t was not dawn yet, only the
first hint of the coming morning twilight,
enough to give some slight additional dis
tinctness to any object thot stood out
against the sky, and no more. The true
daybreak, which was presently to battle
the whole of the heavens in loveliest pellu-
cid light, was near at hand, but it was not
there yet.
When Brigida looked up in the direction
indicated by her lover, she could at first
see nothing but the mighty pile of mason
ry, at whose foot she was standing, black
and enormous against the sky; but as she
continued to gaze, she became presently
conscious that high up in the air, suspend
ed between earth and heaven, there hung
some object which moved, and swung, and
swayed this way and that, as it descended,
for it was descending, towards the still
distant earth.
The file had done it's work.
Mechanically she fell upon her knees; it
was only in that attitude that she could
await the end, and, with clasped hands,
gazed upwards at that slowly descending
form, which now with every inch of nearer
approach became more distinctly and more
surely recognizable.
My little story has cached its end. As
soon as Luca reached the ground, after
safely accomplishing his perilous descent,
the three made off, with such speed as be-
longs to those who fly for life, to the boat
which was awaiting them, and, long before
their flight had been suspected, or the fact
proclaimed that the iron cage was empty,
its late occupants were far away from terri
BILE Venice, and safe from their pursuers
And in due time the old days of the missal
painting and embroidering were revived,
only the scene was in tranquil Dutch
town, and Lippo, now the husband of
happy little Brigida, was permanent part
of the es tablishment.-AUL the Year Round.

cludes with the important paper on Frog
Culture In this Mr.. Green tells how
stagnant pools may be made a source of
revenue by being turned into frog ponds.
The man who could raise million frogs,
he says, and get them safely to market
would be wealthy man. The method Of
frog raising is given in minute detail, and
to any inclined to enter upon the culture
of this table luxury, Mr.. Green's paper is
well worthy of attentive perusal, as his
