Gives little children such fond delight.
Timidly, with most doubtful air,
Seeming as II he could scarcely dare,
Dear little Phil brought the flowers to me;
Held out the yellow branch silently.

Decking myself with their blossoms bright;
Marvelf1ng much at the sudden joy
That shone in the face Of the little boy.

Has Been Around the World.

Imagine the surprise of an American
who, wandering fifteen hundred miles into
the interior of Africa to Zululand and the
home of the white race of "She," who must
be obeyed, and the white queens of Hag-
gard, should by chance gaze at some big
rock on whose side was painted in big black
letters, the familiar epigram, Trough on
Rats" His thoughts would be given an
other violent shift homeward, when upon
entering city nearly two thousand miles
inland as large as New Haven, q newsboy
offered him daily paper for II cents, twice
as large as the largest New York daily, on
whose title page the same Rough on Rats"
stared him in the face.
The people of Africa, India and Austria
liz seem to be troubled more with rats and
rabbits than anything for which there are
American specifics. This has been discov-
cred by the ever progressive Yankee, aad
Trough on Rats" is more extensively ad-
vertised in these countries than anything
else. Tho power of euphonious allitera-
ton seems to be as great among the Turks,
Calcuttians and Australians as here. Rough
on Rats in display head line of a vernac-
ular Indian paper is tremendously impress
sive. The proprietor of Rough on Rats"
has spent $4,000 to secure a copyright of
the name in these countries, and is ship
ping immense quantities of the great
Trough on's" to those countries and En-
gland. Americans should be proud of
