They are, to certain extent, fairly eff
ficient, but last only a short time, as
the wire springs rust easily. The best
thing we have in the way of traps is a
homemade contrivance which has been
in use for about 40 years, and which
has caught it's thousands of mice. Aft
er so many years of use, the trap is
somewhat the worse for wear and has
been repaired many times and also
shows the marks of many mice's teeth.
Fig. 1 is a front view of the COM
pleted trap. Fig. 2 shows side-view of
the trap doors and triggers. Fig. 8
gives the triggers in detail The trig-
gers and levers are made of ordinary
bale wire. If hard wood is used for
top, sides and doors the mice will not

HOW TO CATCH MICE.
Here Is Trap Which Has Stood the
Test Of Forty Years on an
Ohio Farm.

OF course we have a cat and a dog,
but they cannot always get at the mice
whenever and wherever they wish. The
corncrib, the smokehouse and the cell
lar are places where we cannot leave a
cat or dog for any length of time
Therefore we must use traps.
There are several kinds Of traps
manufactured of more or less efficiency,
of which we have used only one kind
the round wooden trap with holes in
the sides and the choker arrangement.

The railroad lines in every di-

with horses, with servants Few who
live within reasonable limits and upon
good roads, however, bother the trains
much. OF Saturday afternoon every

and the Mendham Hills. They are
reached in an hour and half, though
the good roads are hilly.
On Long Island just after a ferry
boat has drawn in at Hunters Point,
it is a rare sight-if one has no babies
living near--to see the procession of
huge machines tearing away in cloud
of dust one after another for the open
country. Once in awhile a driver is
caught and fined. Ten dollars, perhaps.
1t is one of the chances he takes, like

ing, but they have keen eye to
the powers of delay that the law gives.
So there has come about a deliberate
campaign for the non-payment of rents
where these have been raised, and for
the exhaustion Of every device to pre-
vent the eyicting landlord from getting
his valuable space reoccupied by some
one more tractable.
No great popular movement can
get along without Joan of Arc. The
anti-rent war is led by girl of little
past 20, Bertha Liebson, Hebrew i'm
migrant from Russia three years ago.
There are advantages in having a girl
leader. The police cannot club her
and her lieutenants.
Judge for yourself of the grievance
of the East side. There may be tene-
ment of four tiny rooms four or five
flights of stairs up in building fairly
new and fairly safe from fire panics.
The rent will be $50 to $50 month.
No man who would think of looking at
those rooms makes SO much money as
that. Yet some slender tailor or
cloakmaker assumes the risk and the
responsibility. He subets three of
the rooms; and he like each
of his three sub-tenants is at liberty to
"keep boarders" in place the size Of
q dog kennel. Thus the rent is paid.

more plentiful than it is now. The
marshes supplied wild fowl-turkeys
ducks and geese-and the woods. pig

cellar the City hotel was famous, and

was the famous Bulls Head tavern,

it was close to the cattle markets and
slaughter houses. Here Gen. Wash

tavern was built the Bowery tneater,

street and Coenties Slip, facing the
East river. Tue building was of rough
hewn stone, four stories and attic,
with the high-pitched roof common to
all Dutch buildings Of that period.
The gable ends of the roof we're ar

old French buildings which still re-

This Stadts Herbergh or City Inn
was completed in 1912 and was used
for public service till 1854, when it
became the Stadt Hugs or City Hail,

to be the meeting place for the coun-
Gil of burgonasters and schepens. In
1t was the courtroom and the Jail, and
in front a cafe and whipping post. In
1899 it was sold for 900 shillings and
taken to pieces.
Opposite Bowling Green was the
tavern of Martin Krieger or Kings

garden of this tavern was favorite

citizens, who in Krieger's day rested
their bodies on the benches and SOL

cry from the W'Afdorf-Astoria to the

man drank their schnapps and smoked
their long-stemmed pipes while they

not be felled across the streets; or
that liquor must not be sold to the

home Of Gov. De Lancey until 176O,

City hotel was plain four-story build

stretching in long even lines across
the front. It depended for its repu-

ton of either exterior or interior, but
on the menu, which In that hosiery
