Ticket of Leave Mon.

The ticket of leave is, in most in
stances, only means to compel the un-
fortunate ex-prisoner to give facilities
to the police to throw obstacles in the
way of obtaining honest employment.
These obstacles may not be Intentional
ly created by the police. In some cases
the reporting of the ex-conyict may en-
able those whose duty it is to keep an
eye upon his movements to prevent a
hopeless thief from palming himself off
for purposes of theft upon some unsus-
pecting employer.
In very large number OF cases, how
ever, it means that men who have been
in o convict prison only once, and who
may have found their way there owing
to untoward circumstances, intemper-
anoe or temptation, and not through
calculated crime, are prevented by this
police surveillance from obtaining fair
play in their endeavor to throw off all
trace and suspicion of their past crime
and prison experience. Where the

In the window a stately Gala grew.
And its bloom was good to see
So many there were to praise the flower,
And the sun was so kind at the morning hour
That Gala was proud OF her little power.
And she said,
''The sun was made for me-"
But the primrose hung her crimson head
In the shade of the lily tall,
And she said, "If do my best, maybe
The home ones will have delight in me. !"
But sunbeam out on frolic free
Peeped in the window, and with grace
Gave a kiss to the blushing face.
And he said,
''Sweetheart, we shine for all"

DimCultlez,

After all, difficulties are but friends
in disguise. They come with formida-
BILE miep, and to meet them men must
summon to their aid every faculty of
brain and body; they must make n
fight, and whether they win or lose
they are the gamers. Success is not
always measured as the world meas
ures it, because the men who some
times fail most signally are those who
have met difficulty most courageously.
The man who is honest and true to his
own convictions of right and duty is
never failure, though the world may
write him such. Difficulties decide
who is the fittest to bear the heavy re-
sponsibilities of life. The men who
cringe and yield to them are the fail
ures and are not equal to the task OF
doing great deeds, nor even to bear the
daily round of toll. Difficulties have
for their object and end the shaping of
mans character, and he who comes
through them without losing his cour-
age, who can rejoice in obstacles con-
quered, and with quiet pulse and more
watchful eye await the next, who can
truly say, 'Sweet are the uses of ad-
versity''-has learned his lesson we'll.
To him the gain has more than COM
pensated for the toll along the way,
and any other difficulties which may
rise before him will be undreaded and
unfeared. d.-Detroit Free Press

FORCED ECONOMY.
Has Certain CompensatiOns Which Prodl
gal Spending Can Never Know.


gal Spending Can Never Know.
There are many compensations in
economical spending. To be able to
buy all one needs or likes without close
consideration of ways and means is
doubtless pure joy to some minds.
For to spend lavishly does not always
imply seltishness. There are natures
which are broadened and enriched by
prosperity, and comfort and peace and
helpfulness for others spring naturally
up in their hearts SO soon as the pres
sure of frightened circumstances is re-
laxed.
And yet there are compensations to
be found in economy. To save and
contrive through long days to obtain
ing, or some longed-for treat, carries
with it many qualification besides the
mere attainment of the desire. The
arrangement and the planning, which
are favored with many anticipating
thoughts of the pleasure they are given
for; the expectation and satisfaction of
counting the fast-accumulating hoard,
and then the final joy, which extends
beyond the mere getting, the glow OF
delight at the accomplishment of a set
tied purpose, which is the crowning re-
ward of the economical soul, who re-
joices ever with ten-fold satisfaction
at obtaining what he worked for SO
long-all these are compensations
which the prodigal never knows, and
which to many natures are all-sutfic-
ing.-Iiarper' Bazar.

THE HOUSE RAT
How to Keep the Obnoxious Rodent Out
Of the Cellar.

How to Keep the Obnoxious Rodent Out
of the Collar.
The common rat is a vexation and a
distress to many housekeepers who do
not know how to get rid of it. There
are two kinds-the brown rat, which
inhabits the great wharves of the city
and sometimes gets into city houses,
and the black rat. Like all the differ
ent species Of rodents, these rats have
the greatest aversion to each other.
The wharf rat, which is the larger and
more ferocious, drives the black rat
away from its quarters, and is even
said to kill and eat it. The black rat Ii
also said to drive away the mouse.
The black rat, which is the one the
housewife has most generally to deal
with, is a most foul and repellent crea-
ture, living on carrion and various foul
garbage. Therefore, one of the 1rst
precautions against this rat is absolute
neatness about the house and cellar.
1t does not ordinarily give much
trouble in the summer, but burrows in
the cellar when cold weather begins to
come on. 1t possesses the curious char
acteristic that it seldom or never en-
ters house from above the cellar, but
burrows down to the foundations It
will burrow down near q window,
where it could easily have gnawed its
way through, to the bottom of the cell
lar wall outside to make its entrance.
A thoroughly cemented cellar, cement
ed on the floor and three or four feet
up the wall, will usually be proof
against rats.
It is bad plan to have any old wood
platforms or other arrangements in the
cellar under which rats may find lodg-
ment A boarded cellar floor is an in
vitation to rats. The rat especially
dislikes lime. Whitewashing the eel
lar frequently and scattering fresh
lime around the floor will usually keep
them away, even when the cellar is
not cemented. Put chlorate of lime,
powdered glass or ordinary lime in
their holes if any appear.-N. Y. Tri-
