Rats annoyed the family of John
Welreck, at Indian Talley, Idaho. He
laid poison in places near their haunts,

children became dangerously i'll. The
rats, after eating the poison, had gone
to the family well for water, and died
in it.
Mice are fond of music. This fact
suggested to an ingenious mechanic
the utility of mouse trap with a
music box attached. He has con-
strueted one which plays for an hour.
The mice, to get close to the strains of
harmony, wander into the trap, and
are easily caught.

A DAY.

I'll tell you how the sun arose,
A ribbon at time.
The steeples swan in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.
The hills united their bonnets.
The bobolinks begun.
Then / said softly to myself,
THAT must have been the sum-"
But how he set, know not.
There seemed a purple stile
Which little boys and girls
Were climbing all the while.
Till when they reached the other side.
A dominic in gray
Put gently up the evening bars.
And led the flock away.
Emily Dickinson.
