The Aztecs of old were not only
great soldiers, but also diligent cult
vators of the soil, and had acquired
considerable proficiency in agricul-
ture, although they had no horses,
oxen or other animals of draught. TO
this day the men earn their living
chiefly as day laborers in the fields
now owned by the Mexicans. The
staple product now as of yore is the
maize, and next to it the maguey or
agave, the sweet sap of which is the
principal material for the famous Mex
lean pulque. Some species are cult
waited as vegetables, others for the
sake of their leaves which yield
strong fiber that can be woven into
fabrics. Hence the saying that the
agave supplies the people with drink,
food and clothing. The men have lit

Would Exterminate Rats.

Unremitting warfare against rats is
advocated by Sir James Crichton
Browne. who says that people now
adays are living under sanitary condi-
tions which will seem as shocking and
wrong to their descendants 200 years
hence as conditions that obtained two
centuries ago appear now. In advo-
eating crusade against rats, as the
great carriers of disease, Sir James
suggests new form of relaxation
I'VE have with u.s." he says, lots of
gilded youths whose time hangS heavy
on their hands, and who might vary
their amusements by rat-catchng,
which must be quite as exciting ahd
elevating as pigeon shooting. If the
sporting papers would give descrip-
ton of the battues and reports of the
bags, with odds on the favorite rat
catchers and portraits of the record
breakers. those pernicious little ro-
dents would soon become scarce-un-
less, indeed. enthusiasts should take
to breeding and laying them down as
we do pheasants. Great things may
be expected when sport. fashion and
sanitation join hands in rat-catching."

A chute. through which the food is
to be passed, is shown in the illustra-
ton, with hinged door at right an
giles to the inner wall thereof, the door
being connected with an arm which
projects through the wall of the chute.
This arm is fastened to spring held
to pin in the outer wall of the chute.
A bracket supports clock upon the
other side of the chute, the clock hav-
ing an alarm attachment. The key
which winds the alarm apparatus is
connected to springpressed bolt
which is mounted in the wall of the
chute and designed to support the
hinged door when the same Is weight
ed down with food. AS the clock runs
down the cord withdraws the bolt. and
when the proper time is reached the
door is released and the food falls
down to the manger. After the door
is relieved of its weight the spring
will cause it to resume its normal po-
sition. This would also be very useful
in large establishments.
