HE HELPS THE PLUMBER.
The House Rat Eats Quantities OF
Lead Pipe.

Kansas City starr
one of the most persistent and de-
structive assistants the plumber has is
the house-rat. A rat can eat out plumb
ing as fast as an average honest man can
pay for 1t. To rat greasy lead pipe
is toothsome moroccan. When hungry
rat forsakes the barn and finds his way
into the cellar Of a house, and thence up
through the walls to the space between
the floors, the first thing he tackles is
the grease on the outside of lead waste
pine. IL he finds other food shortly
thereafter he spares the pipe, otherwise
he eats the pipe and the water escapes
through TO the ceiling below and ruins
the plaster. The plumber Is sent for
and repairs the leak, but he doesn't tell
what caused 1t.
once upon a time a rat was "hoist by
his own petard," so to speak. He got
into a house and found his way to Il lead
pipe. on which he tried his teeth. 1t
was pleasant chewing and put fine edge
on his teeth; so he continued. Soon he
had eaten a large hole in the pipe and a
stream of scalding water poured forth.
Before he could escape he had been
scalded TO death, TO say nothing of being
drowned. But ne Ah' oiNiSAoSNivh
of knowing that he had ruined fine
ceiling. ana that the carpet underneath
IL had been soaked full of lime water.
There is no great loss without some
small gain
Just to show what they could do, some
rats once ate fifty feet of lead pipe under
a bathroom and over the kitchen Of
big hotel in this city. The floor of the
bathroom was marble, and under it was
n fire-proof floor made Of iron beams
end hollow tiles. The pipes We're laid
in the space between the floor and the
Orders. Rats were attracted thereto
by the. odors from the kitchen. They
met the lead pipes. When their appe-
tites were satisfied the space was filled
with lead dust.
Rats like to eat drain-pipes from
kitchen sinks. because they are lined
with grease. The only way TO keep them
away is 10 pack the pipes with mineral
wool. Mineral wool Is a substance made
of furnace Stag, through which a jet OF
air has been forced while it cooled. The
mineral wool gets into the eyes of the
rats and drives them away. Modern
plumbers discourage rats by laying iron
instead Of lead pipes.
Rats, strange TO say. are great breeders
of sewer gas. They gather up bones
and scraps of meat about the kitchen
ward and carry them up into the rafters
between floors and ceilings. The pre-
sence of this plumber is sooner or later
discovered by the odor, and the plumber
IS sent for TO discover whence the sewer
gas comes. It is not always well 10 tell
the householder the truth.
Thus il Is the humble brown house-rat
helps his friend. the plumber, earn an
honest livelihood, and the plumber
thanks him I'm his own gentle way.

Lord Tennyson is in his Life volume H..

My line Is not, as often quoted:
And freedom broadens slowly down

On reading this / opened my Tennyson
casually, and the first piece / saw was
Sir Launceiot and Queen Guineverc'
which contains four instances Of the dOu-

Sometimes the linnet niped his song"

''As she fled"

The next piece is THE Farewell" which
has the line:
NO more by thee my steps shall be-"
The next piece is 1.-The Begger Maid"
which has the consecutive lines,
LAS shines the moon in cloudcd skies,
She in her poor attire was seen"
thinking that perhaps Lord Tennyson
referred 10 his blank verse, / TUNED 10
the Dedication OF the Idyls," IN which
j find these two lines:
"or how should England, dreaming OF his

and
