n New Method of Destroying Rats

A curious story comes from Lisbon.
1t appears that the city became in
tested with rats and that cats, traps
and poisons proved of no avail. Finally
the authorities commissioned the
municipal doctors to inoculate the rats
with some infectious disease. A suit
able virus, harmless to man, having
been found, a few rats were caught, in
oculated and released. The expert
ment, SO the account says, proved a
great success, the bacillus spread rap
idly and the rats died SO fast that IN
short time the atty was free from the
nest

LATEST FRILLs OF FASHION.

Jewels again sparkle in the ears Of
the leaders of the modes. More ear
rings are seen this winter than for
several seasons past.
Fobs for the watch are worn tucked

their ornamentation-

wrist and terminating at the collar,

shown among the new evening gloves

Hats which have seen a season or
two and which are bound at the brim
with heavily spangled lace may be
smartened by shrouding the spangles
in black tulle.
Jackets and dressing sacks are as
abundant as kimonos. Pretty flannel
sacks in blue and pink are finished
with a hem of white silk joined with
an openwork stitch.
To have a buckle brooch, cun
buttons, pendant and umbrella handle

Chinese girls are to be employed in
San Francisco as telephone operators
There are so many Chinese inhabitants
using the telephone there that opera

since Chinese etiquette requires that
customers should be entertained while

How Philippine Women Dress.

a native Philippine woman, dressed
for a gala day, presents a strange con-
trast to her newly found sisters of the
far-ofr American cities. The tailor
made girl would scarcely admire her,
but she appeals to an artists love of
picturesqueness and color. Her flow-
ing skirt is of gay colors-bright red,
green and white being the common
choice. The length Of train, and wheth-
er the garment be of cotton, silk or
satin, depends on her means. Corsets
are not yet in fashion, but a chemi-
settle, which just covers her breast, is
In common use. To this chemisette
are added immensely wide, short
sleeves. Her hair is brushed back
from her forehead, without a parting,
and coiled into tight, fat chignon.
In her hand she carries a fan, without
which she would feel lost. Her head is
covered with a white mantle of very
thin material, Finally the toes Of her
naked feet are partly covered by a
kind Of slipper, fat like a shoe sole,
with no heel, and just enough upper to
enable her to thrust two or three toes
inside.
So much for the Philippine women
who live in Quality street" On the
other hand, a peasant woman going
to market presents a very different
appearance. She has no flowing gown,
but wears short skirt of cotton. This
is covered by a rectangular piece Of
stuff; as a rule, Of blue, red or black.
This outer garment Is tucked in at the
waist drawn in very tightly around
the loins, and hangs over the skirt
little below the knees. The figure
Of a peasant woman is erect and
stately, due to her habit from early
girlhood, Of carrying Jars OF water,

"land" when the real struggle be-

he was the star of every year from
freshRan to graduating a football hero
and a man among the many men of his
year. And yet when he left college
and started in ION his own hook" so
to speak, he didn't seem to be appre-
ciated. His mother said he was too
modest; his father said he was a
dreamer, and Marie Franz, who had
worshiped him at school, said: Give
him time; he's a bit slow, but he'll get
there"
She went to Chicago to study music
the same week that saw Ingham in

ton. A clerkship in a country bank
isn't calculated to emblazon the genius
Of any man, but the job looked alluring

it because be loved his mother and
wanted to nurture her old age. He
wrote queer, rambling letters to Marie
every week and in answer got words
of cheer, praise and encouragement.
She told him that Chicago was "the
place" and that half the successful
men might go to school to him with
profit
When Ingham's mother died he had
a few hundred dollars saved up and
the funeral expenses left him enough
to pay his way to the city. 1t took him
three weeks to find employment, and
then he was bit ashamed of his posi-
ton. Bill clerk in a soap factory is

make. 1t is also used for handker-
chiefs.
Velveteen shirt waists In colored
prints as well as solid colors are worn
with shirt waist suits, and these will
be fashionable for the spring months.
The newest lace pattern stockings
do not have open work at the foot or
ankle, but instead the lace effect ex-
tends from the top of the stocking to
the shoe top.
The latest chiffon wells are finished
around three edges with a hemsritched
border one inch wide. These come in
many colors and have chenille dots
to match the veil.
For hats, where the stiffness given
by a straw shape is required that ma
terial will be used, but only as foun-
dation, as 1t will be literally covered
with flowers, foliage and lace.
Fine lace scarfs are to be loosely
knotted around the crowns of chip
hats, and have the ends falling over
the edge at the back. Roses, with their
foliage, lend the floral touch, and are
to be placed around the crown.
There is seemingly no end to the va
