The marketmen are already considering
q problem that viii confront them when
the new market is opened. and that is 20
keep down the rats. And in this con-
nection story is told Of a curious case
OF rat engineering some years ago IN
Brussels. showing great ingenuity and
calculation on the part Of the rodents,
as well as their system Of discipline A
new meat market had been built on the
Place St Gerry, and, though II was sur
rounded by water. the butchers who did
not aLreciate rats. laid their plans 10 eN-
Guide me whole tribe and nation, and in
case any should reach their stands they
resolved 70 head OF their march by max
ing pos Is in their stalls unscalable by
rats. 1his they effected by covering
the posLs with zinc, and the butchers,
looking at the shiny surface Of metal
chuckled at their victory.
But they recEoued without their host.
The rats got the meat A Waterman
posted in the market caIed a butcher,
VINO came early on the scene 10 witness
the method. on a stall hung two quar-
tiers OF beef and a leg of mutton. The
rats spied them and found them unap-
proachaDle. a general call for the ma
ton at large was evidently sounded as
the rats came 6Ocklng in, and an old
rat seemed to take the command. There
We're enough projections and inequalities
70 enable them to reach the table of the
stand; but how to scale the uncovered
Joists was the task for the engineer corps
to decide.
This plan was soon formed. The rat
army moved up in solid mass, the stout
old fellow in front. On these climbed
smaller and smaller specimens, till a lit
tie rat-mountain rose. Then some of .he
rats, who evidently belonged 10 some rat
circus or athletic society, climbed on his
summit and one raised himself on his
hind legs, resting his fOrelegs against
the zinc; then another climbed up his
back, and, taking post on his shoulder, as
sumed the same attitude, rat after rat
assembled to the Jacobs ladder, till al last
one reached the cross beam and scam
pered along It. A whole regiment, fol-
lowed, and the meat was attacked, the
engineers evidently aiming to drop down
what they could for the benefit of the
army.
The on-lookers, however, were not dis
posed to let them go too far, and with ali
their engineering skill the rat army had
TO leave the field. The whole opera ton
showed remarkable degree Of calcula-
tion a system of plans which seems i'm
possible without language as means of
imparting the directions and wishes of
the commander.

The revival of the idea of making cof-

seriously enough to refrain from ridicul-
ing It, undertake to point out it's imprac-

against collins made of glass is that thew
would retain for an indefinite period the

is an objection which applies as well to
quired by law in many cases of conta-
gious diseases.
The chief advantages OF collins made

ness. A good coffin could be made of glass
