and patient, with his eye fixed on the
hole. He had stood ten minutes or
more when the head of rat was
poked out as far as the shoulders.
Quick as a flash the gander hurled his
head against the rats and his strong
bill closed over its neck. The rat
squealed and struggled, but he couldn't
get away. The mother goose set up a
vociferous and triumphant squawine,
and the gander Waddled as fast as he
could to the horse-trough. He showed
the rat under the water and held him
there until he was drowned.
Then the gander threw the carcass
on the ground and the two old geese
picked and tore it until it was seat

Whether the rat was the one that kid

An Old Trick in a New Dress.

| Street fakirs have been reaping
big harvest from the sale of little
glass Walls like those used to hold
homeopathic pellets. The walls cost
at wholesale a fraction of a cent
| apiece, and the fakirs have been re-
failing them for five cents each. Their
value as a street hawker's novelty
consists in the fact that a remarkably
funny practical joke can be played
with them. Each of the little bottles
now being sold in the streets has 8
small hole drilled or blown in the bot
tom. When filed with water and
corked tightly the vial will apparent.
~ beperfectly sound. The water will
not escape from the little hole in the
bottom of the vial until the cork is
withdrawn from the other end AS
soon as the cork is pulled out, how
ever, the water will run out of the lit
tie hole.
The joke consists in offering a filled
and corked bottle to the chosen vic
tim with the question, "Can you tell
me what that perfume is in that bot
tle?'' At first thevictim attempted to
smell it through the cork. Failing
to perceive any odor in this way he
naturally withdraws the cork, and
the chances are about twenty to one
that the contents of the bottle trickle
down his coat sleeve and wet his arm
to the elbow. Then the perpetrator
of the joke laughs fendishly and the
victim says: "By Jove, that is the
the best thing I've seen yet! Where
can [ get one?" The trick is an old
one, but it has probably never been
old before-New York Sun.
