Chambers Journal. ,.st,.
Rats are wonderfully clean animals, and
they dislike tar more, perhaps, than any
thing else, for II once gets on their jackets,
they find 1t most difficult to remove it.
Now, had heard it mentioned that pour
ing tar down at the entrance oil their holes
was a good remedy, also placing broken
pieces oil glass by their holes was another
remedy. But these remedies are not e.
iective. The rats may leave their old
holes aud make fresh ones in other parts
Of the house; they don't, however, leave
the premises for good. l thought l
would try another experiment-one | had
not heard OF before. One evening l set a
large wire.cage rat-trap, attaching inside a
most seductive piece Of strongly smelling
cheese, aud next morning found, to my
satisfaction, that l had succeeded in trap
ping very large rat, one OF the largest l
had ever seen, which, after had besmear-
ed him with tar, let loose into his favor.
lite run. The next night tried again, and
succeeded in catching another equally big
fellow, and served him in the same man
ner. could not follow these two tar-be-
smeared rats into their numerous
runs, to see what would happen; but
it is reasonable to assume that they either
together all the members OF
their community, and by their crestflllen
appearance gave their comrades silent in.
dicatious OF the misfortune which had 80
suddenly befallen them; or that they fright
ened their brethren away, for they one and
all fersook the place and fled. The expert
ment was eminently successful. From
that day in 1875 till now, 1888, my house,
ancient though it is, has been entirely free
from rate; and | believe that there is no
remedy equal to this one, II you can catch
your rat alive. They never came back to
the house again.

Nature,


Having worn q Spanish sash for some
time many years ago while walking in
Pyrenees, lam decidedly OF the opinion
that the weight OF the trowseis is support
ed much more easily and pleasantly by q
cash than braces; these last are narrow,
about two inches wide, and though custom
enables US TO wear them without conscious
Inconvenience, think any one using
them for the first time would find
them very unpleasant. The sash worn
by the middle and lower class in
Aragon is OF wool s or inches broad, and
(if my recollection Is correCt) about A feet
long; when OF such width and length it
does not need to be drawn tight, but only
closely wrapped round the waist and the
end tucked in. l should certainly wear
one constantly but | do not wish to have
in eccentric appearance. Medical men, l
believe, attach much value 10 the wearing
OF sashes or bands round the stomach, es'
pGcicially in hot countries, A narrow
silken sash which must be drawn tight is, l
should suppose, far lees pleasant to wear.
