WoMAN'S USEFULNESS.
1t May Extend Beyond the COnAnes
of the Household Ter
ritOry.

If you organize village improve
ment society be sure to include the
women in it,, and give them an oppor-
tunity to carry out some of their ideas.
A woman has keen eye for the beau
tiful, and her knowledge of color-com-a
binations will be of great beneftin the
arrangement of Towering plants. But,
her usefulness will not be confined to
the aesthetic features of the under
taking Women can be as practical as
men are. In Green Bay, Wis, certain
lines of street work have been put into
the hands of a committee of prominent
women with most satisfactory results.
They not only plan, and plan wisely,
but they execute and execute thor
oughly, says Lippincott's Magazine.
1t is most excellent plan TO inter-
est the children in this work also. They
will bring a great deal of enthusiasm
to the performance of their share of it.
and take pride in living up to the re-
sponsibilities placed upon them It
will be good training for them. Bear
in mind this fact-that the greatest
measure of success is almost always
the resnlt of the widest, heartiest CO.
operation. Get everybody interested,
if possible, and keep them interested
by giving them something to do. Make
active members of every one in the or
ganization.

RATS IN WASHINGTON.
Ths Capital City Is Badly Overrun
with the Troublesome and
Destructive Rodents.

Notwithstanding the fact that Wash
ington is said to be the cleanest city
on the American continent, says a
Washington special to the New York
Tribune, a census of rats would show
that the national capital has about as
many of these pests as any sister city,
1t is said that the conditions here are
peculiarly adapted to the preservation
of rodents, and there are merchants
around the Center market who are will
ing to make affidavit that there are rats
in that vicinity fully 20 years old and
which have escaped and thwarted every
known effort to eXterminate them.
AS is known, the rat probably has
more out-and-out enemies than any
other animal on earth. It's persecu-
tors, animate and inanimate, come in
the form of poison, traps, cats, dogs,
birds, ferrets and men. Some or all of
these agencies are at work constantly,
and yet the Washington rat thrives,
wakes fat and raises large family.
Rats are repulsive at best and nearly
everybody is afraid of them, especially
the great gray fellows which seem to
have taken possession of some parts
of the city. These monster rodents put
up bold fight when cornered, and they
are sharp-toothed, keen-eyed crea-
lures.
The rat is by nature true gamin-
sharp, cunning and, when necessity re-
quires, bold and fearless, fighting men
and dogs alike. There is no question
that the Norway or wharf rat-the big
gray one-drove off and killed the small
black rat which was common through
out the United States two decades ago.
When a rat is attacked he will first
make break to scamper out of the
way of his enemy, but if he sees that
successful retreat is out of the ques-
tion, then he boldly and defantly tries
to put up winning fight for freedom
and liberty. Rats have been known to
attack human beings In many instances
where they were not first assaulted.
Large rats are often rendered bold
through force of numbers and hungry
through enforced abstinence.
anu, IOO, tAS ldISS gray IdC Is u
cannibal; the male rat will not hesi-
tate when hungry to make q meal off
his young. This, however, he never
does without first having battle with
the mother rat, who always fights for
her babies. 1t Is only the male rat
which is given to cannibalism. A
Louisiana avenue commission man says
that about the fiercest battle he ever
witnessed between animals was few
weeks ago when he saw an old gray
rat kill a young one. The mother rat
interfered and for Is minutes the two
rodents engaged in a combat which for
ferocity would rival almost anything
even seen in the arena. They fought
until weak and exhausted from many
wounds and then were dispatched.

POINTS ON EARTHQUAKES.
An English Expert Gives GS@S sut@e-
esting InfOrmHtI"D AhOpt Ssh
teranean C0nvuIsIOps.

Prof. Milne lnteW addressed the
Royal Geographical seciety.nD earth
quakes, a subject which he has made
his own, reports Chambers Journal
In the course of his lecture he point
ed out that there are two kinds of
earth disturbances: those which
affect continental areas, and those
which only disturb an area with q
radius of 100 or 200 miles The first
is the result of sudden movements
in the process of rockfolding. ac-
companied byf'faulting" and huge dis
placements of great masses of the
earth's crust; the second kind. being
caused by after-settlements and sd-
justments along the lines of fracture
cansed by. the greater movements.
The relationship between the two
groups is that of parents and chill
dren. Earthquakes and earth
tremors are far more frequent than
most persons imagine. On an average
there are 10000 annually, which dis
turb from ten to several hundred
square miles of country with suffi-
eient vigor to be felt by aanumber of
people.

trains where they can have. a free
right of way.
The plans of the Pennsylvania rail-
road for its Long Branch division has
a peculiar meaning to Perth Amboy.
Through this city the Pennsylvania
runs on the tracks of the Central rail
road until the drawbridge is reached
which belongs to the New York and
Long Branch railroad. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad owns a right of way
parallel to the Central's line through
Perth Amboy, however, and it may
be that four tracks will be parallel.
The new station figures in this.
Every effort should be made to have a
union station and one that is a credit
to the city.

HE WIPED UP THE FLOOR.
Tobacco Cheyver Resents RefOrma-
tory Advances of Young Hero in
FOrcible Fashion.

A fat man--fat and apparently
coarse, and with prediction for bull
lying over the common people-stirred
up big rumpus one morning on the
Staten, Island ferry boat Robert Gar
rett, which left St. George at 7:1o
o'clock, relates the New York Tribune.
This person chewed tobacco with a
noticeable vehemence, and with con-
secutiveness and frequency he was
obliged to dispose of the usual by-
product. 1t was the fat mans method
of disposing of his by-product that
made the rumpus. Perhaps there were
cuspidors, but the fat man didn't hunt
for them. He picked out vacant spots
on the floor instead. There were wom-
en- passengers, and some of them be-
came almost panicky. Then it was
that small, heroic man made his ap-
pearance. He was young man with
pale-blue eyes, slim waist and an un-
halting expression around his chin.
He had lodged the big mans hydraulic
efforts once or twice, and felt called
upon to do something. He might have
chosen a more original remark, but
under the stress of great mental ex-
citement he resorted to the old saw.
Catching the fat mans eyes, he said,
angrily:
do you expect to rate yourself as a
gentleman"
(Swishl) ''Huh ?" said the fat man,
"Then don't expectorate on the
noor,p added the young hero.
A lot of "serves-yo ou-right-you-hor-
rid-old-thing" looks from the women
rewarded the young man, who thought
he had done his whole duty. Perhaps
he had, but
Theifat man relapsed from his con-
templative mood into one of strenuous
action. He reached forth his big,
chubby hands, and hooked them fast
to the clothes of the young hero with
the pale-blue eyes. Then he bore down
on the little fellow and doubled him
half up like knife, and by sliding him
backward and forward on the floor
across the area of his temporary to-
bacco-chewing domain, he removed all
traces of wet brown from the cabin
floor.
There was plenty of feeling over this
incident. The young man didn't like
it. He was in an uncomfortable posi-
ton, as he afterward, asserted with
greatpositiveness. The aim sought for
had been practically achieved, but the
means-the means! There was the
rub! He was incensed at the rub. Sew
eral coarse men gurgled with glee. 9TH
ers swore righf fAout, and the women
set up such a liter that the atten-
ton Of the decA ands was attracted.

The Board of Aldermen did not
mention the fire department at their
meeting Monday night. The matter
was considered at the committee'meet-
ing Friday night, however, and it is
certain Perth Ambov will see some
improvements in that line.
The aldermen seem opposed to a
steamer. claiming that by the use of
a telephone the factories can be re-
quested to stop drawing water while
the fire is burning, thus adding more
pressure at the hose nozzle. The fac
tories may be willing to do this in an
emergency, but are they going to be
willing to do this indefinitely?
