Keep q Cat.

The best way of Kidding a house OF
rats is to fill all the holes that "a be
found with pounded glass and seal
them with plaster of paris and tin if
you wish. Then thoroughly clean the
premises and see that there are no
garbage pals left about to attract rats,
and secure the services of a good cat.
Treat her kindly, confne her as much
as possible to the basement of the
house, SO she will keep these intruders
away, and there need be no trouble.
In a large hotel or boarding house the
amount of refuse food about draws
rats, but there is no excuse for their
presence in a small house if there is a
good cat around. New York Tribune.

A Scheme for Producing an Aristocracy
of Intellect Among Simians.

A scheme for Producing an AristocTacy
Of Intellect Among Simians'
A mar of large means, who resides In
Washington, has declared his intention,
privately, to devote 500, 900 to a very
original purpose. The idea is that no
satisfactory opportunity has ever been
afforded for the development OF the in
tellect of the brute, Intelligence, like
bodily qualities, is susceptible OF im-
provement through breeding, as every
one knows who has thought about the
evolution of the dog from the wolf by
artificial selection. This rich man pro
poses that monkeys or apes shall be
taken as subjects for experiment, simply
because man understands those animals
better than he does Others.
Let fifty of them, half males and
half females, be placed in a paddock
suitably provided with separate quar-
tiers for the sexes. Then have them
breed pair by pair, as shall be directed
by those who superintend. Some OF
them will develop certain abilities more
conspicuously than others. For exam
pie, certain individuals will exhibit a
superior understanding of the com
mands addressed to them or will show
a greater dexterity in the handling OF
objects. Those which appear stupid
are to be expelled from the colony.
their places being filed by fresh re-
cruits. When a male and a female are
found who exhibit the same sort of
aptitude in any direction they are to be
mated. This process. carried on for
generations would necessarily result in
the development of superior characters
until finally, after the lapse of twenty
five years perhaps, there would almost
certainly be apes OF monkeys far higher
in the scale OF reason than any known
up to the present time.
These putative cousins of the human
rae have already exhibited a mental
and even mechanical capacity sufficient
to give ground for great hopes of pos
sible development in point of intellect.
Chimpanzees have been taught to bring
things to the table, and the big Langu1
baboon of India is commonly used in
that country today as a servant TO,
working the punkah fans, with which
flies are kept away from dinner tables.
Explorer Stanley has given an account
of apes which carry torches at night.
This is believed by scientists to be an
absurdity, because all the anthropoid
and simian tribes are too afraid of fire
to render such a thing possible. 1t is a
fact well known that g%orillas, while
they will gather about deserted camp
fire for the sake of warmth, will never
think of keeping the embers alight by
adding fuel. Nevertheless, every book
on natural history relates many an in
stance illustrative of these creatures
thinking powers, and there is no quesr
ton that it could be greatly improved
by the process of judicious breeding.

The east bound Jersey Central train
on which l was coming to town the
other day was crowded, and several

A garrulous, middle aged man who
occupied the outside seat next to me,
seemingly stung by remorse and may
hap shame, but too selfish to give up
his seat, said to the lady who was stand

Madam, l would gladly offer you
this seat, but l really am Il much older
man than l look"
Pause for a polite refusal OF that
which was not proffered. But the lady
took no notice of him.
"Under ordinary circumstances l con-
tend that no man should retain his seat
and allow a lady to stand. But you
would hardly believe that I am well

such is the fact. People, particularly
passengers, often take me to be no
