larger than American bricks, and are

OF lime mortar or cement. The cement

oVeRRUN WITH RATS.

The city OF Antwerp is afflicted with
rat plague. says the Philadelphia Record.
Tho wharves are overrun with these
troublesome rodents, and In the old six
teenth century dwellings In the neighbor-
hood OF the town hall they are lodged in
great numbers. After many futile at
tempts had been made 10 exterminate the
rats with poison. the aldermen OF
Antwerp decided TO give n reward OF ten
centimes for every rat. and TWO ccntimes
for every mouse brought, dead or alive,
10 the city authorities. The SUCCESS OF
the offer exceeded expectations. and both
old and young turned their leisure hours
towards this remuncrativc occupation.
According 90 reports from Antwerp on
one day recently there were brought 10
one police bureau 200 OF these tormentors,
20 another 100 and 10 a third 10. one rat
catcher secured II francs for liO rats.
Thus 70 is seen that under certain cir
culnstances even rats are useful animals.
