The Board Held in reverence.

The ancient Britons, like the Gauis,
wore long. bushy hair, beard and mus.
tache. The Romanized Britons shaved
their faces and adopted the shorter hair
of their conquerors. The Saxons, ac-
cording to Planche, are generally repre-.
sented with long hair parted in front,
forked boards and mustaches; but in
the tenth and eleventh centuries. with
the exception of old men, they appear
to have cropped their locks and shaved
their chins, preserving only their mus
taches. Long hair was distinguish
ing characteristic of the Teutonic
tribes. 1t was mark of the highest
rank among the Franks, none OF
whom. save princes of the blood and
nobility, were permitted to wear it in
flowing ringlots; an express law COM
manded the commonalty to cut their
hair close around the middle OF the fore
head. The beard was also held in the
greatest reverence by them, and to touch

RAT DETERMINATION.
A Simple Method for Destroying Larg,

A Simple Method for Destroying Large
Colonies of the Rodents.
The best course to take, when the ex-
termination OF colony of rats becomes
a necessity, is to make them help to de-
stroy one another in the following man.
ner:A number of tubs, proportionate to
the quantity of rats in the place which
it is desired to rid of them, should be
placed about, the middle OF each occu-
pied by brick standing on end. The
bottom of these tubs should be covered
with water to such depth that about
an inch OF the brick projects above it.
The top of the tub should be covered
with stout brown paper, upon which a
dainty meal of bacon rind and other
scraps dear to the rat palate fgures-a
sloping board giving the rodents facili-
ties for partaking of II. The feast
should be renewed for several nights, so
that all the rats in the neighboorhood
may get to know of the good food which
is placed within such easy reach. When
it is judged that this policy has been
pursued long enough, the center Of tho
brown paper should be cut in such
manner that any rat venturing upon it
will be precipitated into the cold water.
1t might be thought that the result OF
this would be to capture q rat, or at the
most two, for every tub prepared; but
no such meager reward for the trouble
that has been taken need be feared.

in trouble attracts every one of his kind
within hearing. and very few moments
will elapse before the victim OF mis-
placed confidence is joined by one of his
friends. The newcomer Is as quick to
discover the chance OF escape from a
watery grave that the brick offers as
was the original victim, but when he
attempts to avail himself OF its presence
1t becomes apparent that there Is not

Where Thousands of People Exist

Where Thousands of People Exist in
Daily Peril of Death.
Strada Etna, Catania's longest street,
beginning at the very edge of the port
side, leads almost due north toward the
volcanoes peak, within a few feet of
II, 900 feet above the level of the sea
and fully twenty-eight miles away.
The area of country dominated by the
overflow of lava, is astounding. Its
circumference is full 170 miles and it
describes an irregular circle, of greatest
diameter from north to south. Catania
stands at the extreme of q southern de.
Election in its southern segment
Tho Alcantara river, rising in its
northwestern foothills, flows to the
northeast, then circles its northern
edge, and finally sweeps around to the
southeast into the sea. The Simeteo
river, having its source at the northeast,
near that of the Alcantara, circles the
base, first to the southwest, then south
ward, and then flows around and into
the sea to the southeast, below Catania.
From Catania to the mouth of the AL
cantara, the Ionian Sea on the east, rum
ming with almost straight wall OF
shore, cuts thin segment out of this
circle. But within this extraordinary
distinct circle of ITO miles there is not
a square inch of the earth's surface over
which the lava has not at some time
poured, which one can not now distin-
guish to be unadulterated lava soil, and
which is not subject to-day, or any
other time, to new coating OF molten
lava.
The entire majestic contour of the
mountain, broken here and there by
lesser volcanoes, is visible from any
point at this tremendous base-edge; but
more strange than all else is the density
of population within the lower and
cultivably luxuriant rim. Threading
the base, along the seashores of the
Alcantara, around to the south along
the inner, or northern, shore Of the
Simeteo, and crowding up to the very
edge of its lesser volcanoes, are between
sixty and seventy cities and villages,
housing-and every human being in
lifelong danger Of acknowledgement
of 800, 900 souls. -Catania Letter in Bos-

A TEXAN MARKET.
Busy Scenes Enacted Once Week
at Houston.
The Queer Things One Secs and Hears In
and Around tho MarIset-House Every
Saturday-Ali Natlonalities
Are There.

Pursuing the odd, the new and the
characteristic takes the tourist to the
Saturday evening market held at Hous-
ton. 1t is something unique and this
the only place to see it, small markets
not being allowed here as in other
cities. Houston also holds a Sunday
market, but inaugurated the Saturday
movement for the benefit of those who
were too lazy or too religious to rise
early on the Sabbath morning. 1t has
borne good fruit, opening out great and
new fields for trade, as the German
farmers soon came in from distances of
twenty miles and more hauling their
produce in wagons, and wholesaling 1t
to the many small dealers, who now de-
pend on this supply, their prairie
schooners" and slow OK teams Of four
and five yokes Of oxen filing the streets
with an element usually unknown in
city life.
The market-house itself, standing in
the midst of its square, is fine-looking
building, with crouching lions at the
corners and fountains in the grass-rlot
at the side; but it is the people who
congregate here that make it such re-
markable scene, the venders alone
representing every nationality, Amer
leans being far in the minority.
The market wagons occupy one side
Of the thoroughfare which bounds the
square. They stand drawn up in line,
their hind wheels touching the curb, the
horses heads turned to the middle of
the street.. 1t is supposed, and in some
few cases correctly, that as the owners
Of these wagons pay no stall rent but
only small license to sell, they will
dispose of their commodities at lower
prices that do those venders within the
building 1t is only in this outer row
that we find the negro market gardener.
He raises all that he offers, from the
fat turkeys, ready dressed or alive in
coops. to the tiny bird-peppers, brilliant
in hue, small as a pea, hot as fire, and
delightful in flavor, which grow wild
along the bayou that borders his land.
Near by on the sidewalk Chinese
peddlor displays his wares. John has
his pig-tail neatly pinned up, and his
blouse and shoes are models of cleanli-
ness.

They Erect . Sixty Thousand Dollar Club
House for Their workn'n.
The evidence of soul in corporation
is as much matter of news as q cloud
burst or a college commencement, so
the procee lings of the Illinois Steel
Company deserve publication. The COM
pany, which employs 1000 mon on its
plant at Joliet, has just finished $780,
600 clubhouse for its men. This is
what the Joliet correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says of it; ''It is a
model in architectural beauty. IL is a
finished piece of work. The club has a
membership of 1,100. There are gym
nasium, swimming pool, hand ball court,
six billiard tables, an art gallery, IL
brary, music hall and restaurant, all un-
der one roof. The art gallery is charm
ing one. Hore those laborcrs who are
members may come with their families
for the paying in of So year. There is
not club house in Chicago that has as
many advantages and attractions as
this. AS an induccment for the men to
remain here tho company has offered to
pay to each man who stays in its employ
five years, in addition TO his salary, five
per cont. of that salary. The employees
of the company have shown keen APP
probation of this club house"
Perhaps it wasn't soul at all, but
brain. Brain OF tho right sort makes
an admirable substitute for soul. Some
people tell us they are one and the same
thing. AT any rate, better workmen,
better work and better spirit are likely
to result from the Joliet club house.
With such an Improvement how long
would 1t take LOO men, working nine
hours days, to make up to the company
the $50. 900 expended? Not very long,
one can easily believe, and tho improve
ment after that time is SO much clear
gain for the company.
A good deal Is said nowadays about
the erection OF such resorts for workmen
at public expense. But 1t is doubtful II
large employers would not find 1t to
their gain in the long run TO take the
matter into their own hands?-Buffalo

NOVELTIES IN NAMES.
A Whole Family Might he Supplied from
Any Common Name.

Any Common Name.
"It is remarkable" said the patentee
laying down his cigar, "how little in.
vention people display in selecting
names. A hundred generations of Johns
serve only to increase the number OF
him in each new freshet of human
beings.
"Novelists struggle to give their
characters new names unheard Of be-
fore. Occasionally one hits the popular
fancy and becomes the heritage OF our
race. Now, nothing could be easier
than diversity in names and entirely
new ones at that.
"By change in syllables or letters
any common name becomes mine
from which new names are easily coined.
A whole family might be named from
Edgar, and nicely named too.
"Thus. Edgar becomes Cared, Erdag,
Ergad, Degre, which would mark the
boys indelible, and Gerda, Regda, Redga
would label the girls for all time.
"If the mothers name were Edna, a
slight change in the order of letters and
her sons become Dane, Dean, Ande,
Adne, Enad and her daughters, Enda,
Aned, Made, Media. Different vowel
sounds give wide opportunities for taste
in pronunciation.
"There is mine of wealth in names
for a novelist in the one name Edwin
for the hero. His successful brother
and rival becomes Wined With the aid
of the astrologer, Wendi, and the verbose
lawyer, Winde, he might ALLEVIATE and
divorce his successful brothers wife En-
wild, and marrying the fair divorcee,
could name two of his heirs very appro
priately Wedin and Inwed. A poor re-

Denwi, Diwen and host more derived

PAST THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.


49,.
Belt Cores pendent.
UPPER BELT, Nov. 29.-What shall we
saw of an American citizen who does not
know when Thanksgiving day is? One
more has come and gone. Thousands OF
dollars have been expended in its cele-
b%ration, and yet the query met us next
day, "Why, is it Thanksgiving day! l
haven't known anything about Thanks
giving since | came to Montana" The
day, like all other festivals, has its pa
thetic side, and to a sensitive heart the
ioyfulness of the occasion is somewhat
modified by The thought that with all the
feasting. somewhere there is fasting. Ii
good cheer abounds today, tomorrow
there is want and woe and misery. Many
Il sad heart puts on the festival robes
and assumes a smile of thanksgiving
over the ashes of dead hopes, and while
their lips join in the merry pleasantries
OF the hour, their spirit hears only the
knell of despair. Such is life. Blessed
are they who of their abundance remem-
Der the poor and destitute. Blessed are
/ they who find then greatest happiness
in striving to make others happy. Thrice
blessed are they who do not need the out
ward symbo, of Thanksgiving to inspire
a feeling of gratitude that is only spas
modlc, but are permeated by a deep
noble spirit of grateful recognition OF
good everywhere and whose daily life is
a constant psalm of praise devoted to all
that is best in life and devoutly thankful
for life's fullest possibilities that are
within the reach of all.

A Higltwayman Frustrated.

Wednesday morning at $3.50 o'clock a
prominent citizen was held up at the
corner Of First avenue south and Second
street but the robber did not meet with
the reception he anticipated. The villain
approached close to the citizen and or
dered "hands up" As the hands went
up the revolver was knocked out of the
robbers hand and with the other
hand the citizen dealt a John
l.. Sullivan blow which felled the wonld-
be robber flat. The citizen jumped to
secure the gun and in the melee his
assailant escaped. The night was very
foggy and dark or his own gun would
have been turned on him. The gun is a
45 Colts cavalry revolver and is an ugly
looking instrument. If the owner cares
to recover it he can find out where it is
by inquiring at the TRIBUNE office.
