RID a TOWN OF RATS.
The Ingenious Scheme of a Eiain.
Seaman.

Seaman.
Nobody has seen or heard of rat
about Castine, Me-, since last summer,
says the New York Sun. In July, when
the whole town was overrun with rats
and everybody was in a panic over
their destructive work, a coasting
schooner came there for wood, and the
captain sold Ben Wardell a receipt for
killing the animals. For a week or two
Wardell went from house to house SELL
ing yellowish gray powder, which he
offered to give away if it failed to de-
stroy the pests. Then the rats began
houses and cellars and in bitches by the
roadside. The smell was bad for
time, but the rats were gone and not
one has been seen since. The compo-
sition of the powder remained secret
until Wardell enlarged his business and
began to sell it in other towns The
Castine druggist was naturally anxious
to know what killed the rats, and made
note of the articles which Wardell
bought. He never asked for any kind
of poison, but the drug vender believed
that he purchased more calcine plaster
than any ordinary man had need of
using. He mentioned it to WardeI one
day, and the secret was out. The rat
killing powder was composed of Indian
meal and calcine plaster in equal parts.
The rats ate the mixture for the meal it
contained. Then they had a great
thirst The water caused the mass to
harden in the stomachs of the rats,
after which their digestive functions
ceased to operate and the rats starved
to death,

In every town and hamlet inhabited
by the sons of Adam is class of pee

build him up Such people always know
more than the Lord intended them to
know, and more. than they really do
know, and they always forget where
they received this or that special piece
of information that no one else ever
heard of and which no one ever be-

would be better, but no town can al ord

Harry Carley has been spending a
few days with his old friends in Wins
low. He says while in California a short
time back he called on Col. Breed and
found him grating straw berries on the
milkweed, so as to have straw berries
and cream grow on the same bush. The
Colonel said he believed in progression,
and his next step in that direction
would be crossing his honey bees with
lightning bugs that they might be ena-
bled to work at night.

SPAIN f T TIME.
Need For Haste in Evacuating Cuba In .
Large Measure Removed.

Need For Haste in Evacuating Cuba In q
Large Measure Removed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 90. The author.
tiles here feel that by consenting to the
entry of the Comal with food supplies
the Spanish officials in a large measure
rldded the evacuation of Cuba of the
urgency that attached to it. So long
as the Cubans, starving and naked,
were denied the relief hat might come
to them from the United States gov.
eminent aod Red Cross there was a
powerful reason tor ins sting upon the
lmmediAte evacuation OF Cuba by the
Spanish government officials in order
that by taking possession ourselves we
might succor the distressed Cubans.
Now, however, that our government is
tree to do this under existing condi.
tlons, there is not the same necessity
for haste and the war department will
not be obliged to force American troops
in numbers into Cuba in the
Very Worst Part of the Season
SO far as health conditions are con.
cerned. The daily reports that come
to the department from Santiago make
1T apparent that wen among the I'M.
mune regiments. made up as some Of
them are Of negroes, supposed to he al.
most exempt from climatic fevers,
much sickness prevails, and it is only a
fair assumption that the ordinary
troops would suffer more were they
now sent to Cuba. Therefore, while
the American and Spanish commits.
sloners at Havana are still seeking to
be allowed tor evacuating the island,
it may be said that the president ex.
poets that the result will be a compro.
mise between the dates mentioned on
each side, and that the movement
will begin towards the latter part of
October and be
Concluded Soon After New Years.
This will accord very we'll with the
plans OF the war department., as it will
enable it to avoid sending to Cuba any
considerable number of soldiers until
the healthy season is we'll under way.
1t is the present purpose to make the
replacement Of the Spanish forces in
detail, not sending over any large ex.
petition, but establishing a garrison at
n point after another, beginning
probab bly, at the western end Of the isl.
and. The authorities have reached the
conclusion, in view of the spirit shown
by the Cubans, as reported to it. that it
will not be necessary to have nearly so
large q force to garrison the island as
was at first anticipated, and it is
thought now that no more than 25, 600
men will be required.
