Ferrets. New York Times

Mice and rats seem to increase very rapidly in the haunts of civilization, especially in large cities. Seaports are particularly infested with them, as New Workers know but too well. These yor- min have grown to be a supreme nuis- ance here, notably in old houses, which are fairly overrun. They multiply every year, appearing in numbers where q short time ago they were hardly secn
 How to get rid of mice and rats is a ser
 ous problem with householders, who are often forced to move on their account
 Even an entirely new house is apt to be invaded after few months, and to be seriously hurt as place of residence by the rayages of the noxious animals. Traps, however, ingenious of contrlvance, do little or no good after brief while, as the cunning creatures detect their pur- pose, and either avoid them or secure the bait without danger of captivity. Cats get lazy. X good mouser will in a few months, become indifferent to what has been its fayorite pursuit And any ordi- nary cat k afraid of rats, as well as it may be, and will seldom venture to at- tack them They are generally too wary for terrier, which, with all it's yigilence and ferocity, is frequently deceived by them. It is thought that the introduc- ton of ferrets into houses would mitigate the annoyance. They are often employ ed in Europe to destroy such yermin, and were so employed by the Romans. If kept from the cold they are readily taken care of, and although not docilc or aiiec- tionate, they are ranked as domestic ani- mals They are natives of Africa, and dependent on man, both here and in Europe, as without his sSl they would perish.

..assnt Brakes on the Car of JuggernauI
scientific American.

The tendency of science to put intel lectual brakes on human errors and superstitions has been demonstrated a thousand times A pretty illustration of material interference of like sort for the benefit of humanity is furnished in the action of the English magistrate in Poo rec, India, who lately compelled the priests of Juggernaut to put patent safety brakes on their famous car before they could have their annual procession. It will be remembered that the car is enor- mously heavy, and is very apt on down grades to get deyond control and run down large numbers of the procession ists.

Instantly Kenneth was at her side.
Every note of that waltz seemed to
strike on an open wound in his heart. He
was terribly agitated, and had the trem-
bling player looked into his eyes, she
must have seen that o crisis was at hand.
But she played on slowly, softly, to the
end, and, as she struck the last note,
lifted her eyes and met his.
The nex5 moment she was clasped to
his breast, and his lips sought hers in a
kiss thai neither of them could ever for
get if they lived million years.
Only moment thus, and then Winnie
suddenly freed herself and exclaiming:

and found note from Kenneth explain

was SO utterly 1'dumbfounded" that he
forgot to eat his breakfast, and muttered

It was just this side of Detroit that q
man entered the car, took seat, and de-
voted his attention to the morning paper.
After time the conductor came along
and touched him gently on the shoulder,
but without effect. Again he tapped the
passenger on the arm, but there was no
response, and the officer had to speak.

paper, and said
"I havn't any ticket"

Then you must get off at the next
station

and the conductor passed along.
The train stopped at the next station,
again started, and was bowling along at
thirty miles an hour, when the conductor
again came through and sawthe traveller
