This is movement in the right direction and
ought to have the unanimous support of the
council. Singing in school has an elevating
and ennoSling influence upon the scholars
1t relieves the monotony of ordinary recita-
tions and inspires the pupils to a more sue

The muskrat harvest has been a rich one
this spring, the rat having been unusually
plentiful The season for trapping them is
nearly ended. About the middle of May the
fur begins to loosen and come out. thus rem
dering the skins worthless. The favorite
haunts of the " musquash are the swamps
and submerged fats on the borders of ponds
and rivers. The traps are set just beneath
the surface of the water, near some log or
other object projecting above the water.
While the rat is swimming along, his foot
catches in the trap and that is the end of him.
Another way is to set the trap out of water
in localities frequented by the rats, batting
with parsnips, of which the animals are very
fond. Some dealers here buy large num-
ber of skins every year. One handles on an
average about 1000 q season. Prices for the
spring rat range from Is cts. to 20 cts. apiece,
