GETTING RID OF MICE.

K. NJ. Mikhailoff. Russian chemist.
has instituted series of experiments
for the determination Of mice without
using poisoning substances. His labor
was rewarded by the discovery Of u
peculiar dislike of mice to the odor OF
peppermint. He places small pledgets
OF cotton, saturated with peppermint
oil, In openings made by the mice, and
they did not show mp for some time.
Later the mice made an attempt to
return. but the peppermint oil was once
more used, and the mice have not re-
turned since. This is given merely as
a suggestion. and Is not guaranteed to
do the work. as our American mice
may not object to peppermint. but II
is certainly worth trying.--Cincinnati

AFTER PASSAGE OF PORT BILL.

veillance over the passers in and out.
The British ministry thought to
starve Boston into submission, and, be-
lieving also that the pocket nerve
was the particularly sensitive part OF
the Boston Yankees anatomy, hoped
by cutting off his trading facilities to
bring him to his knees.
The moment Boston's needs were
known, the neighboring towns and the
most distant colonies hastened to her
assistance. Their sympathy took the
practical form of contributions of cat
tie, sheep, corn. vegetables, fish and
other necessities.
Then came implements of war from
Virginia, where Washington and Pat
rick Henry were raising small COM
panies of men to go to the aid OF
starving Boston.
The functions of the town appear to
have been attended to in spite of the
presence of hostile military force,
and in no way more systematically
than in the town meetings which were
held in Faneuil Hall pursuant to ad-
journment."
Gage had forbidden the calling of
these meetings except as authorized
by himself; but Boston would have
given up every other privilege of citi-
zenship before she would have yielded
this transcendant one. Hence by a
little parliamentary device the free
holders kept the town meeting perpetu-
ally alive by continuous adjournment.
The spectacle of this town Of 1900
inhabitants in the face of a frowning
military governor and his soldiers,
calmly and openly gathering its citi-
zens to pursue prohibited civic func-
ton, and there in open assembly to
concert measures designed to battle and
controvert the schemes Of powerful
enemy, boldly too, yet under diplo-
matte forms. criticising his conduct
and questioning his motives. is one
that surely approaches the sublime in
audacity.

EXPERIMENTS WITH FOXES.
Maine Man Rsars Animals In Order to
Study Varietie-.


Study varieties.
After eight years of experimenting
and study in rearing young foxes, DR..
Samuel Watson Of Lincoln, Me-, is of
the opinion that the silver gray vari-
ETY. is the fox of the future, and that
the common red breed is running out,
to be replaced by the worthless cross
foxes and the almost priceless gray
ones. 1t has been his custom to catch
female foxes in traps in March and to
keep them in easy confinement until
they give birth to pups. AS rule a
mother fox will produce seven young
at a litter, of which two or three will
be silver grays. Until the eyes Of the
pups are opened and they are able to
run about the pen the mother treats all
of her offspring alike, giving them food
and protecting them from danger with
a strict impartiality. After that the
motherly instinct centers on the red
pups and the grays have hard strug-
gle to live. The mother will not only
deny food them, but also take pains
to bite them without any apparent
provocation. In course of a few weeks
the grays become emaciated and weak
from lack of nourishment and care and
lie down to die from starvation. In
some cases the mother gets SO dis
gusted with the young grays that she
falls upon them and bites them to
death by nipping them in the neck
back of the ears. In the time he has
been studying the habits of these ami
mails DR.. Watson has kept more than
300 young foxes in custody, and though
nearly 70 gray pups were born into
the world in good health he has sue
ceeded in raising only six to maturity.
While the experiments of DR.. Watson
have not been conducted over period
long enough to arrive at accurate con-
clusions, it is his belief that the pro-
portion of gray pups in an average lit
ter is slowly growing. In every in
stance under his supervision the gray
pups are larger and more vigorous
than the reds at the time Of birth, and
continue to hold the lead until their
parents begin their peculiar method Of
wedding out undesirable progeny

King George III. had reached the
age of 36, and had reigned fourteen
years, when Lord North, by unani-
nous consent of the house of commons,
presented the Boston port bill for it's
consideration. This atrocious act was
the return lightning stroke of the min
istry for the blow rebellious Boston
had dealt when it emptied the East
India Company's tea into the harbor.
No event in the series of causes that
led to the revolution was so determin-
etive of an ultimate resort to arms
as was this brutal measure.
Singular, indeed, at the first blush,
1t would seem, that such vindictive
and utterly unstatesmanlike measure,
designed as it was to rivet the collar
OF political servitude upon the necks
Of great people. But the average
Englishman did not understand the

VILLAGE POSTMASTER" RAIN.
chs Way the Stage Rninmaker Brings It
and Disposes of 1t.

and Disposes of 1t.
Many who have witnessed the per-
'ormance of 1.-The Village Postmaster
In the Great Northern theater have
wondered how it was possible to turn
real water on the stage in the first act
without completely flooding the the
ater and the dressing rooms and all
the people who failed to run away in
time. says the Chicago Chronicle. The
rain storm is manufactured by very
simple device and, while about ten
barrels OF water falls during the
storm, there is no flood, and every
thing is so well arranged that none of
the performers gets even damp unless
some accident occurs.
Two perforated iron pipes reaching
entirely across the stage are concealed
in the flies, where they take up little
room, one about six feet behind the
other When the signal is given for
the storm the water is turned on ana
pours down upon the stage. From
the front it looks as though the entire
stage were deluged. Behind The
scenes. however, it can be seen that
the water is coming down in two
streams. Onlookers see Frank Nor
daunt, the village postmaster, standing
in the rain, and they wonder how he
dries his costume to use it for another
act In reality Mr. Mordaunt is stand
ing between two lines of rain" and
does not get wet at all, although he
occasionally puts his umbrella under
the falling water in order to heighten
the realistic effect.
The water falls upon big rubber
blanket which is lying on the stage Mt
the opening of the act In the center
of this blanket is n brass funnel lead
ing through n hole in the stage to an
outlet below. The moment the cur
tain falls n dozen stage hands seize the
blanket and lift up the corners. so
that the water is drained off very
quickly. The stage is left perfectly
dry and it takes only about two min
utes longer to set the next scene than
1t would under ordinary circumstances.
A rain storm was first successfully
initiated in this country when THE
Village Postmaster" was produced.
The effect had been obtained in Euro
pean theaters before, but only by de-
luging the stage and all the members
of the company, n process that made
the stage rain storm both unpopular
and Improbable.

WAS CUT OUT FOR A CRITIC.
Handy Man to Have About Newspaper
Once In an Emergency.

Once IN an Emergency.
The musical critic was unable to at
tend the pianoforte recital, but the
handy man on the paper allowed that
he could do the thing easy enough, says
the Boston Transcript. And this is
how he did it: Herr Diapson's recital
last evening at Acoustic hall was the
most recherche event of the musical
season. Herr Diapson is a master in
cantilever, and both in his automobilia
and in his tour de force he wrought
wonders of tonic stimulation. He was
especially potent in his dolce far niente
passages, and in his diminuendo cres-
cendo appoggiatura he displayed a
chronological skill that was simply
wonderful. There was also a marvel
GUS musicianly abandon in the mute
bars, the instrument in these parts of
the score being forcefully impressive
in silent fortissimo. But 1t was per-
haps in andante capriscioso that he
eycelled himself. Here he discovered a
coloratura, bravura and an ensemble
that fairly electrified his audience.
Herr Diapson, 1t is true. occasionally
erred in an overponderosity of utabaga
and again In too lambent lustspiel:
but these lapses were hardly notice
able in his rendering of cantabilious
intermezzo. The recital. upon the
whole, was a marvellous exhibition of
poca hontas Instrumentation and in
candescent cavatina." Slug four. who
takes lessons. said there was some
thing wrong about it. although he
couldn't say exactly what, and the
managing editor. upon looking the
critiqde over. was free to admit that it
was all Greek to him; still he said that
1t seemed to read all right, SO far as he
could discover to the contrary. and it
was quite in the line of the regular
critics omposition-more luminous,
indeed. and he didn't see why 1t
shouldn't be printed. 1t was lucky, he
said. that they had SO able an all
