Rats on Shipboard.

Rats that infest ships are very cum
ming, and it is difficult to catch them.
1t is customary to bait the wire traps
and tie them fast to prevent them
from springing. For two or three
days this is done dntil the rodents be-
come bold and careless. Then the
traps are properly set. and big haul
Of rats is the result.

SANDY'S HARVEST
OF
GOLD DOLLARS.
WET
BY Sophie Sweet.

Sandy was not a very bad boy, but
he was sulky that afternoon, and all
because his mother was not willing
that he should go to the circus until
Saturday, when school should be over.
so he wandered off to the barn to
brood over his fancied wrongs, and
threw himself on a heap of hay.
IT shan't study my lessons, any
how" he said, with a pout. Jimmy,
how the rain pours! It makes me
sleepy. I only wish that every drop
was a gold dollar, and then I guess I'd
have all the money I want. I'd go to
the circus, and then ID have a bicycle
and follow them all over the country:
and perhaps I'd learn to ride bare
back. or-or-hello! what's that? A
gold dollar, as true as I live! And
there's another-and another! Why,
IT'S really and truly raining goldl I
must fill my pockets before it stops"
He sprang up and went to work Gag
erly to gather up the dollars; but just
as he stopped to seize one it melted
and disappeared in the ground. One
after another vanished, and Sandy was
in despair.
ooh, it is too bad" he cried. "Here's
enough money to buy the whole world,
all melting before my eyes. I must
have some Of It'll" And he held out both
AandS, which we're very soon hIled.
"Now I must be off quick, or the cir
Gus will be over" So he ran and ran
till his breath was nearly gone, and
then he came in sight of a great tent.
Just then a hoarse voice exclaimed:
There's a boy outside-let him in!''
The tent parted suddenly, and there he
stood in the midst of all the animals.
SHOW your tioket!" cried the Giraffe,
who was in front.
It haven't any!" stammered Sandy;
'Sbut I'll buy one"
"Ea, Ia. hal" came q hoarse laugh
at his side.
ooh, what's that?" cried Sandy.
"Only the Hyena,' said the Giraffe.
Hell eat me up!" cried Sandy, in
terror.
mo, he won't" replied he Giraffe,
eff you only say something funny to
make him laugh

Sandy caught sight of the Hyena'!

Sandy caught sight of the Hyena's
cleaning white teeth, and in sheer
desperation he cried out:
The jib-boom went on a jamboree,
And danced a jig with the whiff1e-tree.
There was a general loud laugh at
Z this, and the Hyena's was loudest Of
all. well, I have heard worse than
that, but very seldom; SO I won't eat
you," said he.
Just then a bell began to ring loudly.
and the Clown turned over with a
spring, while a buzz of excitement
filled the air.
Move on, move on" shouted the
Clown; "we've got to be in Patagonia
at 6 O'Clock Tor the next performance"
May I CO., too?" asked Sandy.

said the Clown.
"All right" cried Sandy. TIL hurry
and get a bicycle" So off he started
for the town, and ran for a long while,
and at last came to the store just as
the man was putting up the shutters.
ssWait a moment!' cried Sandy, all out
of breath. ST want a bicycle"

barrels full, too. We had a shower
lust now, and it rained enough gold
dollars to last the rest of my life" Ev-
.ery one II rcer1cH, bod al the money
he needed. SO he turned, sad and dis
appointed, to go back to he circus,
when he heard a faint voice in the dis
lance calling: SANDY! Sandy!" 1t was
Peter. the gardener, saying:
you've been asleep. Your supper
has been waiting for you for the last
fifteen minutes; didn't you hear the
bell?'
Yes, I think I did, in my dream
replied Sandy, and he hurried to thu
house.

Tiny but Dear.

Fans this year are extremely small.
The dearest bit of a fan embodies the
newest elegance in this line.
1t is made of wood 1acquered in gold
and white. The covering of white sat-
in is ~delicately painted with branches
Of ~oleanders interlacing.
The howerS are tinted in then own
natural color. which is artfu11y empha-
sized by the dull green of the leaves
and a sweet-toned background of light
blue that is diffused over one side of
the fan.
The sticks of the fan are so wide
that they overlap; they are partly cut
III open work and partly painted over
with smaller than those or
the satin.

He is Coming.

He is coming! With what beating pulse
have I foreseen this meeting,
Have I ~pondered o'er his greeting,
and the words that I should say!
In the gloom OF midnight solitude,
when thoughts grow melancholy,
In the hours Of careless folly I've re-
membered him Away.
In his spoken word c%onfiding, far was
I from fretful Gliding,
Tho the la were swiftly gliding
and I looked for him in ain
Tho his coming was belated more than
I anticipated,
Something told me it was fated that
we two should meet again.
He is coming! Thro' the splashing of

While emotions almost thro'
my restless brain are running

Reading n BoeA.

Come. let me spend a quiet day upon
my garden seat
Beneath the one suburban tree that
shades me from the seat;
AND read a thrilling novel that I bor-
rowed from a friend.
1.-THE Curse of Korrad K~raulivitch; or,
Faithful to the End"
All. this is something like a book! I
started it last night,
And 10th vas I to put it down. for it
enthralled me quite.
Now for exciting incidents and mas
terly surprises
Confound my neighbor's little girls
fve-fnger exercisesD
The villain, Mr.. K~raulivitch, has
caught the heroine
And carried her away by night, and
shut her in a mine;
But bravely she def1es him, and she
cries, with proud disdain:
"I wish you'd come and box Toms
ears; he's split the ink again."
IT'S done. 1 haven't spared the rod; so
Thomas won't be spoiled.
Now let me see What happens next,
and how the villains foiled.
That's good. Just as he tells her she
must be prepared to die
"a beastly insect comes aleHs and gets
into my eye).
Thank heaven, a little peass ut last! In

The hero wonders where on earth his
lady-loVe can be;
When, at the dead of night, he hears a
knocking at the gate

not at home, you know"
Now for the climax of the plot, the
Villains overthrow!
Confound it all! A thing like this the
very saints enrages- .

A Word to the W. c. 7. U.

Mrs. Bullock, of Elmira, New York,
who lectured in the different churches
in our city last week was very cordially
received by the Christian people, and
their thinking faculties were aroused.
1t is to be hoped their working facul-
ties will be cultivated to a fuller ex-
tent than ever before. She organized
a w. c. T. U. with 40 members and
about the same number Of honorary
members. We expect the number to
be greatly Increased. The helpless
women Of Clarksburg are more than
grateful to the gentlemen who SO mob
" stand BY them for the virtue, CON-
mon decency and physical welfare Of
their dear ones. We need every Shout
der to the wheel. Meet with US at the
Baptist church March 10, ut 2 O'Clock.
