Rats For Philadelphia.

The spectacle Of mangled rats and
mice lying along the trolley tracks
throughout the city has occasioned
lately considerable surprise. This
surprise has not been due to the spec.
tacle ITSELF, for it is an annual one,
but to the lateness Of its appearance
this year. Every year, in the autumn.
mangled rats and mice that the cars
have run down, and other live ones
skulking about, are to be seen on the
streets of Philadelphia. They ere on
their return to cover after summer
spent in the grain fields Of the coun-
try; they are fleeing from the coming
winter cold back to the houses which
they had deserted u in the spring:
Usually they make this migration In
the beginning Of October. This year,
however, the long-continued warmth,
which has kept the fields green,
caused violets to grow and trees to
bud, has much delayed the rodents
return to town. They are coming in
in hosts now. though, and it is while
they are looking for houses to live in
that the trolleys run them down.

I came to- understand the routine of

Of the town. Every day they went
through the inland lanes at the back
Of it until they were mile or two to
the east. and, then, descending sea-
ward, drove home by the promenade
and the road that skirts the sea.
Now, one day, with no set purpose
that I would have confessed, not even
to myself, I took the western road and
went into the country. The road lies
for some distance between low hills
and the southern sea: at first the suns
heat was intolerable, but gradually one
mounted higher, and then the sunlight
was but the fit accompaniment Of the
lively wind that blew in from the sea.
So I went forward in the best Of
spirits until had come to the edge Of
great valley that runs inland from
the sea.
Some dozen or so cottages and lit
tie pier stood at the margin Of the
sea. Inland a few houses were seen
among their fruitful orchards. But
at the edge of the slope there was a
little space of wild wood, and, this, as
I looked across the homegrown
hedge, tempted me to rest climbed
the intervening barrier and lay down
in the shelter of little oak tree ~
