Around the
Heart -fhSfOne.
GOLpEN.ROD.

When the frost of the autumn was white
on the grass
And the leaves of the forest were red,
A lover went wooing sweet little lass
Whose father forbade her to wed.
But he wrapped her about in the cloak
that he wore
And bore her away on his steed
From the cabin of logs with its ivy-hung
And it's marigolds going to seed.
Tho branches were low in the path that
they went;
Through the heart of the wood it was
worn;
And though down to the horn of the sad
die she bent
The plume from her bonnet was torn.
The brightest of yellow. behind them
twas blown,
And futtered a clew on the trail,
For the father who followed DER stubble
and stone
In his eagerness, breathless and pale.
But whether the thrush was wizard in
brown
Or the squirrel fairy in fur,
When he came to the path turning into
the town
There was only a cricket astir.
Where the feather had fallen a blossom
arose
Like gold from the bushes and briers.
And still in the haunts of the aster it
blows
When the sumac has kindled it's fires.

RATS DISPLAY WISDOM.
Frustrate a Plot to Drown Them
Their Own Cuteness.

Frustrate a Plot to Drown Them by
Their Own Cuteness.
The employees Of the Jersey City
Printing Company have for long time
been troubled with rats. The rodents
are Of unusual size and are extremely
bold. They are boldest after dark and
think nothing of running over the feet
of the employees.
Several cats were placed in the build
ing with the hope that they would ex-
terminate the rats, but the latter made
1t SO warm for the cats that they were
driven away.
+ Various schemes have been worked
to entrap the rodents, but with little
success. Finally Engineer August
Krone hit upon scheme that for a
time bade fair to be just the thing. He
secured an old zinc oil tank, about
three feet in height, and then fastened
on the edge two-foot piece Of board.
Then he arranged the board so that
1t would swing up and down, with one
end inside the tank. He placed piece
of bologna sausage, fastened with a
rubber band, on the edge of the board
which projected over the inside of the
tank, and half filed the vessel with
water. A few pieces Of cheese were
placed along the other end of the board
to coax the rats on.
The trap was set where rats are
thickest, in the basement, and in a
few minutes a rat climbed upon the
end of the board which protruded out
side the tank and rested upon a sup
port. The rodent ate the cheese and
then went for the bologna. AS it
reached the bait the other end Of the
board tipped up, and the rat, with a
squeal, fell into the water and was
drowned.
"Oh, that's the trick" said the eng.-
neer. and his assistant said August had
a great head.
Within ten minutes six more rats
walked the plank, and then there was a
remarkable display of rat cuteness.
Two rodents climbed the pile Of pa
pers, and, while one stood on the safe
end of the board, the other carefully
made its way to the tempting bologna
and devoured half of it. The rats then
changed places, and the other ate the
rest of the bologna and half the rub
ber band.
The engineer scratched his head and
the other spectators said something
about people going to lot of trouble
for nothing.
During the afternoon no more rats
were caught, but lot of cheese was
eaten by them. The engineer solemn
ly AYERS that he saw the rats not only
balance one another on the board
while the tempting bait was devoured,
but the. rodents actually engaged in a
game of seesaw simply for amusement.
August still has faith in his patent
trap, but nobody else has.-Newark

A Persian Town.

Sinna, like all Persian towns, is built
of mud and brick, but somehow the
same ruin that one sees elsewhere Is
material used in the construction of the
houses is better, but put it down rath-
er to the spirit of the people, for the
Kurd is twenty times as energetic as
the Persian or the Turk. One never
tired of that little garden among the
tall trees, with its panorama of towns
and woods and ravine before one, with
its hedges of brilliant yellow roses and
its trellises of shady vine. Nor was
the view all that was to be seen here,
for ever and anon passed by troops of
mounted Kurds, gorgeous in colored
silks, riding handsome little horses
with brilliant trappings, and the cafe,
too. was ever a haunt of the dandies
of the place, whose clean white clothes
and silk coats, whose curly, well-brush-
ed hair and waxed mustaches, whose
many turbans of dark silks, added q
truly Oriental touch to the scene.
Nor were the bazars less interesting,
with their long arcades of domes and
arches and their shops full of all the
merchandise Of East and West, for
Sinna is thoroughly commercial place,
and, perhaps, for its size and popula-
ton, one of the most fourishing towns
in Persia. Lending off from the bazars
are large caravansaries, great open
courts surrounded by highly decorated
buildings, often of great size and no
mean architecture court, too.

T6e Edftor's Little Joke.

The proprietors of the Scotsman had
once to pay damages because their
famous editor, Alexander Russell, in
a leading article, called some local ce-
lebrity a serpent" AS the calling Of
"bad" names is illegal in Scotland, Rus
sell had practically no defense. Yet
he made fight, and on being worsted
he went straight back to his Office to
attack the triumphant serpent" anew.
On his arrival, by singular accident,
he found on his table pamphlet which
the serpent" had just issued. This
pap4pEilet then, he proceeded to make
the subject of leading article; and in
1t lie presently noticed certain statistics
which somehow were all wrong in their
additions. So he quoted the statistics,
pointed out their blunders, and then
wrote:
- HThus, IL Mr.. - is not serpent, he
vet seems to be a particularly bad
adder"

Uhich Mrs. Spilker is very fonda
party and her husband. She never
fails to accept an invitation to one, or
TO carry the other with her; and, with
al. she is very deaf.
Not long since they attended birth
day party, and the major-Mrs. Spill
ker's husband-was to propose the
health of .'The Babies" Being very
fond of children, it was thought that
this toast would just suit him.
Unfortunately for Major Spilker and
the assembled, guests, he changed his
toast to ..sThe Ladies'" without warn
mig his wife of the fact, who, of course,
thought her husband would confine
himself to the toast of the little ones.

prosperity, soothe US in adversely, and

ladies!
When the applause subsided, Mrs.
Spilker, ignorant of the true subject Of
the toast, but glowing with pride aaI
admiration, said:
"Oh. Mrs. Barker, you don't know
