The Utilization Of Rats.

Most people have an instructive aver
sion to rats, CHASING them with snakes,
bedbugs, mosquitoes, and other evils of
this world, allowed to exist by an inrcrut-
able Providence for reasons past human
discovery. Beyond having avague knowl-
edge that the heather Chinee devours the
murine tribe, and deems the unsavory-
looking rodent delicacy, the average
thinker on the subject can perceive no
utilization for the yagrant denizen of GEL
lars and wharves, save Indirectly in his
furnishing an object to be caught oy the
multiplicity of ingenious traps which in.
yentors have constructed, and serving as
source of perpetual nervousness to the
wiry Scotch terrier who spends his days
in searching for him under parlOr sofas,
behind furniture, and in every other shady
corner where the illogical canine mind
conceives rat might possibly shelter him.
self. The fact of the case is that the rat
is in reality a useful animal; and as we
showed recently In discussion on bed
bugs, it is violent assumption for any
one to suppose that any living thing does
not serve, OF may not be made to serve,
useful purpose. Moreover, it is equally
erroneous to assert that q rat is q nOxious
beast. To be sure, he breeds with aston
ishing rapidly, and he has the failing of
cannibalism toward his progeny. But 80
has his arch enemy, the well-fed tom cat.
He is pugnacious, but rarely attacks man
save in defense of his life. On the other
hand, he is scrupulously neat, even moro
SO than the average male feline. As
scavenger, his labors are of great value
in the filthy cities of the Orient; and his
tail is q marvel Of constructive design

Cleaning House.

The annual house cleaning, one of the
penalties which we pay for our civiliza.
ton, Is almost upon us. One would like
to know from what ancestral Nation the
good people of this country inherit this
periodical cleaning propensity. Proba.
blv It came from the Dutch, the most
noted scourers in the world. With that
sober, quiet race, however, the work was
not carried on with the hustle and confu-
sion OF the housewives of our day. With
the Hollanders house-cleaning is continu-
Gus and gradual, and everything is kept
as bright and clean as constant rubbing
and scrubbing can make it. BY employ
ing little system, much of the unpleas.
antnBs of this yearly occurrence may be
avoided. 1t is useless to have curtains
down and carpets up all over the house at
the same time. Undertake no more in the
morning than you can finish that day. 1t

agement, all your walls will not need to

BY = man who made his escape from .
very large rattlesnake, whose baleful eye
he suddenly encountered. When asked how
he had escaped the paralysis of fear that
would seem most natural under the cir
cumstances, he said that he remembered
that rationale never sprung upon its
victim until it first uncoils itself; and no.
ticing that the reptile was coiled he at once
felt that he had time to make his escape.
Five times ont of ten the danger that
