One Way to Tame a Rat.

Five large gray rats are the peculiar pets
of Charles Perkins, who lives on Noble
street, near Eighth. The rodents evince
great affection for him, following him about
the house like dogs, run up his sleeve and
come out at the breast, nestle around the
rim of his hat, and perform variety OF
tricks, such as leaping through a wire
hoop and drawing a coach, four of them
acting as horses and one as driver.
Asked how he had tanned the rats, Per-
kins answered:
1T is very easy when you know how"
"Well, what is the how?"
Simply, / trap rat in cage, and then
examine him carefully to see if he is young
and not too vicious. Having selected a
proper specimen, I take him to the yard
and drop him in a barrel half filled with
water. If he tries to Chamber up the sides
throw him back and keep him in the
water until he is completely exhausted
When he is just about to go under 1 take
him out, pour little brandy down his
throat with syringe, and take him to the
stove, where I wrap him in a piece of
blanket, coddle him and nurse him back
to life. So grateful is he that he remains
my slave forever after, fawns on me and
becomes quite a pet. .'-Philadelphia Press

Rubber PaneIinC.

A very artistic effect has been obtained
by India rubber panels or veneers, which
are very beautiful in color, but unfort-
unately too costly for general use In
England very thin gum elastic has been
used as wall covering, particularly where
the walls were exposed to damp. The sur
face was printed like paper hangings, and
in some cases Autographed and was very
beautiful. Another advantage of a cover
ing Of gum elastic vellum was that it could
be easily washed with soap and water
when it became soiled, and in addition to
this is was of great durability. In this
case also however, it was found that the
process was too expensive to permit of
it's general use.-New York Commercial
