Dr,vlns HAT. Away without Poison.

We know of three methods: First, the old
French plan. This is followed, chiefly in
They take deep tub, with water on the bot
tom and little elevation In the middle like
an island, on which Is only place for just one
rat to sit ON. This trap is covered and has
the middle Of this valve piece OF fried pork
or cheese Is placed, and when the rat walks Oh
to it to get the cheese the valve goes down,
drops the rat into the water and moves back
into position. road Is made from the rat
hole to the top OF the tub by means Of pieces
Of board rubbed with cheese SO as to make
the walk more attractive for the rats. In the
course Of the night some ten, twenty or even
more rats may go down, and Ii the island was
not there they would DO found most all alive
in the morning, quietly swimming around;
but the promising of the little island saves the
trouble OF killing them, because their egotistic
instinct OF preservation causes them to fight
for the exclusive possession OF the island, ON
found in solitary possession, all the others be-
ing killed and drowned around him. Second,
the New York plan, invented by one Of the
Friends. The floor near the rat-hole Is COW
cred with n thin layer OF a most caustic
potash. When the rats walk on this it makes
their feet sore these they lick with their
tongues, which makes their mouths sore, and
the result 10 that they sfun the locality, not
alone, but appear to tell all the rats In tho
neighborhood about it, and eventually the
withstanding the houses around are full Of
rats. Third, the Dutch method. This ts said
to be used successfully in Holland. We have
however, never tried 1T. number of rats
left to themselves In very large trap or
cage, with no food whatever. Their craving
hunger will cause them to fight, and the
weakest will be eaten by the strongest After
short time the fight Is renewed, and the
next weakest is the victim, and SO it goes on
eaten the last remains OF the others 1t is set
loose. The animal has now acquired such
taste for rat flesh that he is the terror OF all
ratdom, going about seeking what rat he
may devour. In an Incredibly short time the
premises are abandoned by all other rats,
which will not come back before the can
nibnl rat has left or died

How They Were Caused and HOW They

HHN
The London Eco,,outiH, In It's isstts of
March o. htBs one of those clear and thorough
studies which has made that journal 50 waltz
able, upon the ''Connercial History, of 1877"
81 UNUSUAL length-four ycars-has been ex-
perlenced in the United States, Germany,
Austria, Hungary, Italy and Great Britain,
and for the last year and q half tho same diff
culties have been felt In France. In all these
countries there are two great causes for this
depresson--first, lesSenng Of the means OF
consumers md second, production In GER
tain branches. In Germany France and this
country there was o prodigious destruction
OF the means ,];'s Of consumers by war-a result
many on account Of the payment oil the in
demnity, and in the United States on account
OF the stimulating effects Of an expanded
currency. In both countries railroads and
other industries were extended beyond any
legitimate demand; In other words, floating
capital was applied to the working OF COIL
and iron and the construction of railroads
beyond the necessities Of consumers. Both
resources add oyerr-production. In Austria,
Hungary and Italy the depression arose from
too speculative production and from the
diminutioni OF means produced by excessive
taxation and,war The speculative Industries
OF other countries, OF course, stimulated de-
mand In Great Britain, while the final col
lapse fell with tremendous weight on that
country, where production has been carried
to excess, but where the efficiency Of labor
has been diminishing for the past few years.
The losses in all these countries were especial
ly felt in London, the financial centre, and
thus communicated to Great Britain the de-
preston Which covered the commercial world.
The Econonist analyses the causes which
will stimulate anew the cash demand for com
modities, or. In other words restore pros
perity, into three classes First, greater econ
Omy and industry; second, unusual harvests
and third, accumulation Of savings 1t Is
consoIatory thought for this country that al
these causes are working steadily here toward
producing better times. Never before were
our people 80 saving or more Industrious.
There Is not so great diminutlon OF the eff
cheney OF labor in reduced hours and poorer
work, as has boon experienced In England.
Unlike the English experience, our harvests
have been unexampled. Much too, of our
previous over production has been in the line
Of future development of growth OF populh-
ton and cultivation OF new land. The savings
OF tho working classes, and Of all classes, are
speedily increasing.
