to the top. Sprinkle cheese parings or
other food for the rats on the paper
for several days, until they begin to
think that they have a right to their
daily rations from this source. Then

high. filling with water until only
enough Of 1t projects above the water
for one rat to lodge upon. Now re-
place 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 a fight for the
possession of the dry place on the
stone, the noise of which attracts the
others, who share the same fate.-Bal-

shop has lost his situation, and this
because he gave prompt answer to
his employers eager question. The
employer had six lively little land tur-
ties, which attracted much attention
as they wandered aimlessly about the
window. He painted a large white let
ter on the back of each OF the shells,
and put up a notice to the effect that,
whenever the turtles got into such rel
alive positions that the letters spelled
oyster he would present half a dozen
natives to every one who was looking
on.
Then he became frightened lest the
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster
opener informed him that the odds
were 720 to l against the combination.
The turtles are still in the window,
but the oyster opener has gone. Such
knowledge of odds, the employer
thought, could have been acquired
only by years of betting experience. 1t
is. not wise to be too wise.

There is no better preventive Of
nervous exhaustion than regular, I'M
hurried muscular exercise. If we could
moderate our hurry, lessen u worry

large proportion of diseases

For those who cannot get a sufficient
holiday the best substitute is an occa-
sional day in bed. a writer in the
Nineteenth Century suggests. Many
whose nerves are constantly strained
in their daily vocation have discovered
this for themselves. If we cannot pre-
vent agitation, we ought, if possible.
to give the nervous system time to re-
cover itself between the shocks. Even
an hours s~eclusion after a good lunch
will deprive a hurried, anxious day of
much of its injury. The nerves can
often be overcome by stratagem when
they refuse to be controlled by the

there is where all my troubles come
to an end!" and he sprang into the
deep waters OF the bay.
He was mistaken.
For the life preseryer hit him in the
neck and he saw a million stars. The
deckhand made a pass at him with a
boathook and made a small sized ere
vase from his waistband to his col
lar bone. Then they hauled him in,
thumped him, doped him, rolled him
over a barrel for half an hour, and
hustled him to the harbor hospital,
after which he was arrested, fined SO
n roasted by the judge and kicked
along the corridor toward the door. A
dog bit him as he departed.
"Alas!" he sobbed. 1T is more
trouble to die than to live"
So he didn't.
