A Unique Book.

A publishing firm which makes a spe.
cialty of expensive editions of standard
authors has recently published all edi-
tion of the works of Dickens. The set
is in thirty volumes and literally IL
Illustrated and illumined. An eccentric
buyer decided he would like to have a
set composed of the proof sheets of the
edition. These were, of course, much
marked, corrected, noted and otherwise
marred, but they were collected and
bound in an exquisite binding and sent
to the collector of original books. He
paid $1,4OO for the privilege of owning
probably the most unique reprint of a
set OF Dickens works in existence

LURED BY SCENT,
Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
RentOuS Means.

8enlOuS Means.
| Rats are very susceptible to the odor
OF certain drugs, and any ordinary trap
set In their haunts is likely to be sue
cessful If dressed with these scents. the
attraction OF which, rat catchers affirm,
they cannot resist. An example is:
Powdered nssafetida. eight grains: oil
OF rhodium, two drams: oil of aniseed,
one dram; oil Of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together in bottle and
use very small quantity to dress the
bait
To catch .ats, cover q common barrel
with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place a board SO that
the rats may have easy access to the
top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other
food for the rats OH the paper for sew
cral days until they begin to think that
they have a right to their daily rations
from this source. Then place in the
bottom of the barrel piece of rock
about six or seven inches high, filling
with water until only enough of it
projects above the water for one rat to
lodge upon.
Now replace the paper, first cutting a
cross in the middle, and the first rat
that comes on the barrel top goes
through into the water and climbs on
the rock. The paper comes back to it's
original position, and the second rat
follows the first. Then begins fight
for the possession Of the dry place on
the stone, the noise of which attracts
the others, who share the same fate.--
