A Rat Cattber's story.

There are tricks in all trades, and
probably as many in that Of the profess
sional rat catcher rs in any other line.
According to the story Of n man who
has made barrel of money in that
business, Int who has since drifted in
tn other pursuits, it was once easier to
make a living catching rats than by
running shell game at a country fair.
II used 20 use ferrets for the extermi.
nation CT the rodents" he said, land
when L received an order to clear n
warehouse Of the pests l always insisted,
that this pay should be- gagged by the
number Of rats killed at 30 much per
head. carried the ferre:s in q big
wooden box, with false bottom. In a
secret drawer underneath l would place
four or five dozen live rats before start
ing out, let them run loose upon reach
inS the place to be rid Of rodents, and
then free the ferrets. OF course, with
90 or 60 rats running around loose, there
was always great slaughter, and some
times the ferrcts would kill nearly all
the rats turned free. In this way l
was always sure of receiving handsome
remuneration for an evenings work up-

Why Grey fHourds

Up to about 800 years ago "grey-
hounds" were the shaggy, gray colored
dogs used in the chase of large game.
After that the name was transferred,
sufficiently absurdly, to the black,
white, blue and yellow, but generally
spotted or bicolcred and never gray, dog
that is now SO popular for coursing
hares. 1t is very odd that no one, writ
ing about the dog, should have insisted
upon so obvious an absurdity. On the
contrary, a great many writers who
have written very wisely about the
word grey" have tried 70 explain away
its simplest meaning by referring to
Celtic, Gaelic and Saxon roots, but con
sidering these two animals were called
indiiferently grey dogs" or "grcy
hounds"-in two words-when our Ian
suage first came to be written, and that
in those days dog" and "hound" were
absolutely synonymous, it seems to Inc
as great waste Of wisdom TO try to
prove that "graie, gray" or "grey, +"
when it is joined with dog orIhound,
meant anything else but grey us to say
that grey.tiy means fly of princely ex.
traction or grayboard a champion beard.
If l were quarrelsome, i should like
TO pretend that greyhound really means
badger dog" At any rate l should
have sense of language On my side (for
gray, grey, graie and grei are all names
Tor the gray badger. and / would not
DO more absurd than tho rest.-Gcod

Mr.. EDITOR
I have recently visited two OF the
leading Baptist Associations in Vir-
ginia. The Mattsponi convened with
Providence Baptist Church, Beaulah-
vile, King William Co. Rev. Harvey
q. johnson, the pastor, took care OF
the large delegation in a royal manner
Mattaponi raised something over 1925
for Christian work Virginia Seminary
received $4,000. The Association en-
,dorseG our Negro Baptist Publishing
House at Nashville, Tenn, and voted
allegiance to the National Baptist Con-
vention. The Foreign Mission money
sent up by the churches was sent to
our Foreign Mission Board at LOUIS
willie KY.
The Mattapcni Association is COM
posed OF aboat sixty-five churches.
Last week the Great Valley Associa-
ton was in session at Wythevilie in
the First Baptist Church, Rev. Frazier,
pastor. This is great gathering OF
l4O churches. The reports showed the
churches to be in healthy condition.
Virginia Seminary received about
4120.
This great body voted with vim to
endorse the Negro Baptist Publishing
House. Thus. it may be seen that
within two weeks two Associations
with 200 churches in grand old Virgin
il have endorsed our Publishing
House.
Already 40 Sunday Schools in this
state are using our literature. What
an addition will these 200 churches
with their Sunday Schools make
Wonderful progress has been made in
the twenty months existence of this
new denominational enterprise. W.
are now furnishing literature TO NOR,
than 1890 of the best Sunday Schools
in the United States. Our literature
has received the endorsement of al
the states except Virginia and NORTH
Carolina.
These two. as may be seen by Vir
Rinia's big associations, are fast being
converted.
Our Publishing Board has moved in
to new head. quarters-a beautiful nv

There is more Catarrh in this section

years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nouuced it local disease. and pre-
scribed local remedies, aud by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
menr, pronounced it incurAble. Science
has proven catarrh to be q constitu-
tional disease, and, therefore requires
constitutional treatment

by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
