Riddance of Rats.

To exclude rats and mice is a very
easy matter if done when the house is
built. The cellar floor should be ce-
mented and the wall built Of cement
concrete. The spaces between the
studding are she weak spots. A very
effective defence is to lay the floor
closely through the studding ON each
Aoor, or to lay a rough board floor
first and set the studding upon this

Lace as an Heirloom.

Foreign Letter OF Jenny June
Lace in quantity is never seen in the
street in Antwerp, unlessit is worn by
English or Americans, for no Antwerp
lady would wear her rich lace in the
street or allow herself to appear in a
cheap imitation. These rules still
hold good, though there is less rigidity
than formerly, and young girls wear
contrasts and their mama's designs
in form and fabric which they would
not have dreamed of ten years ago.
The domestic and social habits, how
ever, hold good and are maintained as
a matter ofpride by the genuine ladies
of Antwerp. One OF these was only a
child, and would naturally have
inherited a magnificent collection
of lace, gathered and inherited by
her mother. But she was not inclined
to work with the needle, and 1ebelled
against the necessary conditions i'm
posed to learning how to mend and
actually make lace, so as to keep it in
perfect condition. Her mother did
not force her, but simply told her that
the lace would never be hers, but
would be left to some member of the
family able and willing to entertain
and care for it. This threat was suffi-
Gent to induce the young lady to fulfill
her mothers wishes, and she is now
not only possessor of one the finest
private collections of lace in Antwerp,
both modern and antique, but can re-
pair any of it so that it is exactly the
same as before. Yet this lady recently
papered and painted two rooms with
her own hands, at cost of Is francs
for materials, because business being
dull, she did not wish to subject her
husband to the cost of a house paint
er and decorator, who had estimated
the work and material at 225 francs.
A lace dress as made in Antwerp, is
a very desirable possession. It is not
cut up and wasted from the piece, as
with us; but an accurate pattern is
sent and the dress is outlined from it,
and the pattern wrought in according
to cost. The lace pieces for bonnets,
fans, parasols and every article OF the
toilet for which lace is used, are all
made and finished upon the edge in
the same way, and are all beautiful
and permanent possessions. The
cost of a real lace dress is not more
than one covered with imitation lace
is with us; but the difference in elegance
and finish, in permanent beauty, can
not be put into words. It is a differ
ence in the morality and aesthetic in
fuence Of lifetime. An Antwerp lady
Of the middle or business class looks
forward to the acquisition OF such a
dress as New York lady OF
the same condition in life might to the
acquisition OF sealskin cloak, for
the reason, probably, that less money
is spent in Antwerp on triaes and on
the costly articles ofstreet attire, bon
nets, parasols and, above all, gloves,
which are such an important and
costly article in America Besides, the
men know that a lace dress means
something, it is equivalent to their
dress coat. It will be worn at the
great family reunion and anniver-
saries, over all black, over color, with
silk sleeves under the lace, with lace
sleeves alone, in short, with slight ad.

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old, and ragged, and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters day
The street was wet with the recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow
She stood at the crossing, and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout
Glad in the freedom of sch 'ol lie. out"
Came the boys like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep
Past the woman so old and gray
fastened the children on their way;
Nor offered helping hand to her,
SO meek, so timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage-wheels or horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street
At lat came one of the merry troop
The gsyest laddie of all the group
He paused beside her and whispered low,
@ I'll help you across if you wish to CO.
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and SO, without hurt or harm
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content
She somebody's mother boys, YOU know,
For all she's aged, and poor, and slow:
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand.
If everShe's old and poor, and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away
And somebody's mother" bowed her head
In her home that night, and theprayer she said
Was, God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son, and pride and joy ~

with proud mementoes of former cam

She will not be taken from her box on the

CogMoRANT FISHING IN CHINA.-The
mild-eyed Chinese know thing or two
about fishing that we are not up to. The
otter and the cormorant are trained to as
sist in catching the fish in rivers. The
otter is taught to drive the fish into the
nets, and he does it as skillfully as hunt
ing dog drives birds. The cormorant,
however, does all the work himself. The
bird is trained to its occupation with the
greatest care. 1t is brought up in domesti-
cation, the eggs being set under hens and
Matched by them. The cormorant will
catch fish for her master, man, but she
will not bother much with taking care of
her own children. The trained bird is
taken out in his boat by the fisherman. 1t
stands upon the edge of the boat till its
master gives signal. Then it darts into
the water to do its work. 1t remains out
till it gets its load of fish-sometimes a
large one, sometimes several small ones.
1t fills its throat with the small ones. Then
the weil-taught creature comes back to the
boat, and the fisherman proceeds 10 empty
it out and take possession of the booty him
self. If a fish caught is too large for one
bird to land, several cormorantS join and
help bring the haul TO the boat.-[Ex
