from those that most of us are accus-
toned to. They have all the appearance
of steel engravings, and like them they
will not Jade, but are permanent. They
are platinum photographs. That is, a

They are permanent because platinum,

usual means to divert herself during the
long midnight hours recently. She was
lying wide awake when she heard d
mouse in the room. Instead of being
frightened she determined to exterminate
that mouse, since she has very strong
objection to the presence of such unbid-
den guests; not from fear of them. how
ever.
She got out of bed quietly and i'm
provised a trap out of pasteboard box.
over the open top of which she stretched
a piece of paper, in the middle of which
she made a little trap door by simply
tearing out half circle. On this she
sprinkled some fragments of cracker Tn
due time she caught the mouse. Then
she took it down to the kitchen and
drowned it in pail of water (Which she
carefully warmed) and set the pail and
the mouse in the sink.
In the morning the servant. who ia of
a timorous nature, was Mortified at the
evidence of an execution in her domain.
and the presence of the victim in her
sink. from which she kept a resnectful
distance, her preparations for breafkast
being found good deal retarded there
by, when her mistress came down.
