ODD USE FOR RATSKINS.
An EngliShman Who Had Suit of
Clothing Made Out of Them.

From the Westminster Budget.
1t is generally supposed that ratskins are
used in glovema king, but the skin is too
thin and fragile; the thing. has been done
once or twice as in making silk from spi
ders' webs, but more as a curiosity than an
article of trade. In an old newspaper we
read that IAN ingenious indiyidualTof Lis
keard, Cornwall, has for some time past
been exhibiting himself in a dress composed
from top to toe of ratskins which he has
been collecting for three years; it consists
of hat, neckerchief, coat, WaiStcoat, trous-
ers, tippet CATERS ard shoes. The number
of rats required to complete the suit was
go, and the Individual, when thus dressed,
appears exactly like one of the ESquimauX
described in the travels of Parry and Ross.
The tippet, OF boa, is composed of the pieces
of skin Immediately round the tails of the
rats, and is very curious part of the dress,
containing about 600 tails, and those none of
the shortest.
Several thousand ratskins were at one
time imported from France, but our manu-
factLrers found them too small and too fine
in texture. 1t is not to be supposed, how
ever, that rats are useless; though they look
SO clean and sleek, they destroy for US an
immense quantity of offal which would
otherwise he very dangerous to health. Yet
there are few animals so generally unpop-
ular as the rat. TIE dislike is not recipro-
Gated, for wherever man settles there ap-
appears, as if by magic, a rat. There were
thousands in the camp before SebaStopol,
and a rat hunt in the trenches was one of
the few diversions the campaign afforded.

From the Atlanta Constitution
There are but few counties in Georgia
in this last day of progress and develop

a railroad. She has the name of being the

longer than day and half. The Jail, as a
pSual thlng, stands open from year to year
