Peers and their coronets are soon

is told by correspondent of M. A. +.
He writes: when was staying some
years ago in Philadelphia with G. W.
Childs, the well known proprietor of
The Ledger newspaper there, noticed
at dinner one evening peculiarly shap-
ed gilt stand used as support for

observing that was scanning 1t rather
closely, said: oh, that is the coronet

wardrobe, including the coronation

Of ample dimensions and lined with

strange ract. Aoout Animals.

Have you ever noticed that all AMI
mails which chew the cud are cloven
footed? Also that most of those which
drink water by suction are herbivorous,
khe carnivorous variety tapping it with
the tongue, like the cat. dog, tiger, etc.
Sheep have no teeth in the upper jaw,
and tortoises and turtles are without
altogether.
Unlike most animals, horses have no
eyebrows, and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the lat
ter cannot be shut, and thin mem
branous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye of the owl is also very
peculiar, seeing that it is immovably
fixed in its socket and cannot stir in
any direction. To compensate for this
peeming disadvantage it can turn its
head almost completely round without
moving its body. If you were to keep
q frogs mouth open many minutes, 1t
would soon die, as owing to it's peculiar
construction it can. only breathe with
the mouth closed.
On the other hand, fishes are COM
PEELED to keep opening and closing their
mouths in order to give their respira-
tory organs full play. 1t Is also a
strange fact that the deer has addl-
tional breathing places besides the nos
trils, as If nature had foreseen his
great need of free respiration when
forced to fee before the hounds. Snakes
usually have their teeth In the head,
but one variety in Africa, whose prin-
cipal food is eggs, is provided with a
substitute for them in its stomach.

LuRED BY SCENT.
Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
geniOus Means.

Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
geniOus 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 assafetida, eight grains; oil
of rhodium, two drains; oil of aniseed,
one dram; oil of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together in bottle and
use a very small quantity to dress the
bait.
To catch rats, cover a common barrel
with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board so that
the rats may have easy access to the
top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other
food for the rats on the paper for sew
eral 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 q
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 its
original position, and the second raj
follows the first. Then begins fight
for the possession of the dry place Oh
the stone, the noise of which attracts
the others. who share the same fate.

A well known Edinburgh professor
often became so interested in his sub
ject that when the noon bell rang he
seemed quite oblivious Of the fact and
kept the class for several minutes. Ger
tain restless spirits among the stu
dents decided to give him gentle
hint, so they bought an alarm clock.
London Tit-Bits tells the result.
4 The clock. set to alarm at precisely
IL o'clock, was placed on the profess
or's desk. As was anticipated, he be-
gan his lecture without observing the
clock. But when the noon hour struck
the alarm went of with startling
crash.
4 Even those not In the secret appreci-
ated the joke. There was a round Of
applause. The professor smilingly
waited until the alarm and the ap-
plause ceased and then said:
Young gentlemen, | thank you for
this gift. l had forgotten 1t was my
birthday. An alarm clock is something
my wife has needed for our servant for
a long time. 1t is very kind remem-
brance on your part" Then he went
on with the demonstration which had
been interrupted by the alarm, and the
students were never quite able to sat
isfy themselves whether the professor
understood the joke or not.
