Rats In LOHdOn.

In few years time, unless some &C
tive measures are taken, London may
expect some great trouble from rals,. 1t
is startling fact that one. pair Of rats,
with their progeny, will produce in three
years no less number than GAG, sos
A doe rat will have from six TO eight
nests of young each year for four years
together, and from IL to % at litter
and the young does will breed at three
months old, and there are more females
than males, at an average Of about ten
to six Ii they ran@about the streets
like cats and dogs the public would be
terrified, but as they hide and work in the
dark, men seldom see or think Of them.
Brick drains are their chosen haunts !;
skirting boards, backs of fire.places, un-
der the flooring, or between the rafters,
are their places of breeding. The, Lon
don sewermen state that brick dl aims are
The rats best friends, and That nothing
but glazed pipes, with heavy sink traps,
will stop the sewer rats getting intolhou-
ses. They will not 60 up pipes for the
fear of being drowned, knowing they
have no means of escape. They are seen
in the sewers migrating in communities
to some discovered quarter for food, ,and
the sewermen believe that they have a

The Toledo chronicle. [volume] (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1873-1924, 1875-08-12
The Spanish Miner.

A REVIEWER, speaking of Hugh James
Roses" Untrodden Spain and the Black
Country" says: Decidedly the most char
acteristic part of Mr. Roses book is his
account of the black country" or mining
districts, of which he had considerable
experience. The Spanish miner is as
rough and reckless as those of his calling
generally, but he has many of the most
sterling qualities of his country people,
with more than ordinary Spanish light
heartedness. He works exceedingly hard,
but he lives tolerably well, although but
poorly paid according to English ideas.
Mr.. Rose gives vivid account of his days
occupation from the start at early morn
ing, when he breaks his fast on cakes, cof-
fee and aguardiente bought at the stalls
set out along his road, to the more solid
supper with his family of an evening,
when he relaxes after his labor with music
and merriment. He is fond Of song, and
improvises freely as he goes along to his
work, choosing the subject of his monoto-
nous refrain from any casual incident that
may strike him. Like all Span
iards he insists on religiously cele-
brating any number of festas, although
his manner of making holiday is apt
to degenerate into debauch. For
the morality of the mining districts
is as low as may be, and the certainty that
their lives will be short seems to induce
the miners to make the most Of them. in
their own way. Their work is often dan.
gerous, for the native mine-owners pay
little attention to the internal economy OF
the mines, and the strongest constitutions
succumb to the unwholesome atmosphere

Pauline was never anything but uncon-

watch at the window, and was STOPPING at

the miners inhale. The quicksilver mines
| In these the salvation is excessive, and it
| is said to be almost as bad among the cop
per veins Of Rio Tinto. In the lead mines,
strange to say, the action of the mineral is
more gradual; but pulmonary consump

fatal complaints. The miner seldom lives

That proper sanitary precautions might
do much to prevent this mortality is
proved hr the experience of for
eign companies. But In Spain, as
everywhere else, the workmen object to
restraint and regimen, although death and
painful disease are the penalties of neg
lecting them; and the native mine propri
etors, with the national indifference, leave
their people to do as they please. AL
though the miner takes his copa of strong
liquor after his coffee, or correCts with oc.
casional stimulants the foulness Of the at.

addicted to drunkenness. He is content
with poor wages and is cheerful on coarse
fare and if he must be called superstitibns
rather than religious at least he makes life
endurable by cultivating cheerful fatal
ism. These men of the "black country"
are naturally among the toughest and
least educated classes of the population
yet Mr.. Rose pronounces them to be % Ma

the miner: He could not say or do Il
rude thing. To walk with the stranger;
to relieve him of any load he may be car
rying Under burning sun; to offer YOU
and the offer is meant-a share of his SIM
pie meal, if you chance 20 come upon him
when dining, is simply his habit"
