The King Of Rnt-rnfcher..

Adolph Isaacssn. who is ACKNOWLEDGE the
king ofrAt-catehers in New York City. has been
engaged in the business for . years, and keeps
\ little place on Fnlb street. His methods
are very simple. lie has finely trained ter
TieT. and lac goes with her into a building a.
night very quietly. so as not to alarm the rats
and locates their homes Steel traps are set at
most OF these holes. and rs soon As a rat is
caught he is quietly killed, aud the trap set for
another. He has secret oil which he uses to
anoint his shoes. This ia very puugent and is
also used TO oil the traps with. lie says this Is
made by boiling 100 rats in a large kettle and
skimming off the oil which rises TO the top BY
walking across the fOor toward the traps rats
can be made 10 90 directly to them. Sometimes
he steps mp the holes At one he stations the ter
ricr and in the other puts a ferret. The mo-
ment the rats are aware OF the ferret being in
their hole. they make dash TO escape, and as
they appear the terrier kills each one in wink
by biting each in the back OF his neck. Every
thing has to DO done silently. for If rat is al
lowed 10 give one squeak Of alarm the business
is over for the night. lsaacsen has some mar
vellous tales 10 tell Of his achievements in the
line Of his profession. At one time in a hotel
in North Carolina. he and his assistants killed
1,5O0 rats in one night. They canght 300 to
give an exhibition. and the whole number were
killed by four terriers in five minutes.

Iotive Harper. IN FraHk Lsslie's Popular Monthly
The Turkish women's garments are all of
the most brilliant and snowy pattern, and they
wear trousers Of gayly-f08ered ehintz which
reach to their ankles and are never Of gauze,
as some seem to believe. Above the trousers
they wear a shalyar, or petticOat, made of four
breadths of material not sewn together, and
each yard and half to two yards long. In
the street these are tucked up, but left to train
ia the house, Next comes q chsmise of Broussa
crepe with long sleeves and Y-shaped neck
No eorsets are worn. A jacket made of silk or
velvet, and richly embroidered in gold thread
pearls. turquoise, and coral beads. This is very
low in the neck, and buttons around the waist
with three small buttons, leaving the entire
bust exposed with the exception of the doubt
full protection Of the transparent crepe ehemise
and the rows Of brilliant-colOred necklaces.
shawl is folded on the bias, and wound
around the waist tightly, which holds up the
trousers and shalvar, but makes clumsy look
ing Wad.
This is the national house dress. When 90
Ing out, q long, shapeless cloak, with wide
sleeves and a wide Hsp hanging down the back;
and the vail, with brilliaut-hued parasOI
completes the street attire. At night, Summer
and Winter, wadded nightgown is worn,
generally outside the clothes worn during the
day.
Only few families have bedsteads, prefer
ring to sleep on the pile of 20 or 30 quilts on
the floor Each wife has her suite of three
rooms, and sleeps there with her children and
personal servants and no matter how hot the
night, the windows are tightly closed.
The Turkish women are sensitive and full of
a rather exaggerated sensibilty, which causes
them TO shed tears and faint on the slightest
provocatiOu. Nerves" as we have them, they
don't seem to know, but they are ready to keel
over in a faint for almost nothing. Whether
this is natural to them, or induced by their
lack of exercise and constant bathing in such
boiling hot water, cannot tell. They sit or
lie about all day unwashed and most slOvenly,
unless they expect visitors, or are going out,
until six o'clock. when their husband may
possibIy pay them visit, and 80 toward even
ing they let their slaves brush them up and
decorate them.
Once in while there will be desperate
quarrel in the harem, and then the eunuch has
the authority to whip the offenders. Imagine
Is or 20 women shut in one hOuse-one room
aImost-all having an equal claim upon the
master give them nothing useful TO do; stuff
them all day long with sweets nuts, fruit aud
rich food Oblige them to huddle close around
the little brasier, or mangal, in winter, to keep
from freezing, with half dozen or more diff
ferent brOods of children TO make mischief, and
we have one reason why the peace-lOying Turk
goes into his harem 80 seldom. The law of tho
Koran allows no woman to make sign Of her
existence TO her husband between the hours of
sunrise and sunset, so be is at peace to attend
to his business in his own part of the house
but it Is pretty hard ON the women. How
weary they get, how their hearts ehafe under
this unnatural condition, none outside can
know.

The Way Hr Dsntd.d IL.

OF the father of the present King of Bavaria,
IL Is related that one day. when two of his
Cabinet Ministers called upon him with the
draft Of a new law for which they required his
approval and signature, they found him seated
in his arm chair with an open book on his
knees After reading the statute 90 His Ma
iesty, the ministers stood for long time 81
lently waiting for an answer. At length, when
their patience was nearly exhausted. the King
suddenly elnsed his book with a bang and ex-
claimed, with a look Of unutierable triumph:
"f have got him! have got him." He had
caught and crushed fly.

the end OF that time in the start then IL struck
that your Discovery the thing for me:

able TO go to my work ia the mines Now In re-
gard To my eyes, as lost my left eye, aud about
ak months Rgo my right eye became affected with
black spots over tho sight did the left eye-per-
