There are two species Of rats ia Paris:
A black sort which infests garrets and old
houses and a gray kind thai is found in
cellars and swarms in all the sewers This
sewer kind is the most voracious and dam
gerous, and its ravages cost the city a
large sum annually. Wherever there is
underground shelter there is q family Of
these rats and they multiply with aston
ishing rapidity Cellars. sewers, cata-
combs are their abodes; they dig passage
ways through thick walls. undermine
foundations and do a great deal of dam
age. Many attempts have been made 70
exterminate them in the sewers but al
ways without success. Poisons OF all
kinds, phosp.lorous, arsenic, prussic acid
and strychnine, have been set for them but
they won't touch the bait. One inventor
thought he had hit on the very thing when
he proposed to fry pieces of sponge in lard
and scatter them about. under the ex-
pectation that the rats would eat them
and that the expansion of the sponges in
their stonachs would prove fatal. His
theory was all right except on one point
the rats declined 20 eat the pieces of
sponge. AS for traps they would perhaps
answer if it were possible to set enough TO
catch all the rats in the sewers without
bankrupting the city in their purchase.
The plan which works the best is to
hunt the pests with dogs trained for rat
killing. Every now and then gangs of
men go down into the sewers, and by fol-
lowing several converging galleries man
age 10 drive whole armies Of rats toward
a single point, where these dogs are let
loose and great slaughter follows. The
men who keep these rat dogs are paid one
cent for every rodent destroyed. Another
class Of rat catchers operate on the streets
after nightfall, but their aim is to capture
the animal alive, SO as 10 sell it to the
owners Of terriers. These fellows receive
ten cents a dozen for live rats, and are
permitted to keep the dead bodies, which
have market value OF from three TO four
cents, the skins being excellent for kid
gloves, while the bones can be made up
into toothpicks and ear cleaners Paris

Never did cosmeticians flourish ia this
city as now. Alleged Identifying establish
ments are more numerous than the ills Of
life. Circulars which alluringly set forth
the skill of professional beautifiers are
blown on every breeze. Their patrons
are legion, as the whitewashed and fres-
coed faces of many women prove. The
natural flesh has been covered as with a
layer of plaster, over which the hideous
red of the rouge pot is spread with blazing

calls it making herself attractive. ~

PICNIC AZ nIoNTrCE1Lo.

Messrs, Editors: It was my fortune
to attend the school picnic at Monti-
cello about ten days ago, and seeing
no published account of it will
endeavor to give you some idea
Of how things passed off. At
all early hour, the oak grove
of Mr.. Kirkland was thronged with
vehicles Of all kinds from which alight-
cd the young maidens glcesomc and
free, the aged with frosty locks-all
bent on beholding the May Queen and
her attendants. It was not long be-
fore the coulmn could be seen ap-
preaching the festooned arbor pre-
pared in the woods for the occasion.
The children moved along with as firm
step as ever old Stonewall's line
moved into battle. Miss Lizzie Kirk
land, was crowned Queen, and acquit-
ted herself we'll in responding to the
testimonies Of allegiance from her
different subjects, among whom were
the Misses Arnett, Hamiler, McMeeLin,
Hammond and others, from the neigh
borhood. Handsome little Miss Dick
ert, from Newberry, also bowed obe-
dience to her Sovereign Queen. The
male characters were Master Walter
Kirkland, John Davis, Eddie Owens
and others. a.
Suffice it to say that everything pcr-
tanning to tho exercises passed off as
gratifying as Miss Davis, the teacher,
could have wished.
The people Of Monticello have Teen
favored in getting tho services of such
an intelligent lady to train their chill
dren. She evidently knows her bust
ness, for tho success of that day gave
ample proof. All praise Is due and I
think all accord to her we'll done.
Upon the grounds also were some
visitors from Winnsboro - Messra.
Seigler, Williford, Gaillard and Elliott,
accompanied by three of the 'Boro's
fair damsels-Misses Gerig, Hanahan
and Dwight.
Well dinner was announced, and
we one and all repaired to the table
which was bountifully filled with sub.
stantials, dainties, etc. Everybody
seemed to enjoy the day hugely, even
the visitors. MORE ANON.
