Some Words Strange to You That Are
In the Dictionary.
The number of obsolete words that
are to be found In Webster's Diction-
airy is consi 1erably larger than people
have any idea of. The following letter,
written by an alleged poet to an editor
who had treated his poetry with deri-
sion, furnishes some idea of them:

1t is curious to remark how different
ly men of different races comport them
selves in the presence of Identical
emergencies. When an Irishman, for
example. finds that he cannot pay his
rent, he insists on remaining in his
homestead all the same and when an
organized effort is made to turn him
out he climbs up on to the roof of his
dOmicile and throws hives Of bees
at the invaders. When an Englishman
finds himself in a similar predicament
he breaks the law by stealth-that is
to say, he moves his furniture secretly,
by midnight, to another lodging and
leaves no address behind him And,
as all the world knows, shooting the
moon" is the technical term for this
nefarious performance If one were
asked by a stranger how the poor live
IN outcast London one would have to
answer tina it is largely "by shooting
the moon that great many Of them
are enabled to exc out n precarious

STEAMSHIP VERMlN.
The Way Ocean Liners Are Ria Of
Rats and Reaches.

The Way Ocean Liners Are Rid Of
Rats aud Reaches.
Rat and roach catching at the steam
er docks and on ocean liners is one Of
the queer ways men have of making
living. And a good living they make
at 1t, t0o-sometimes as much as $10,-
900 year. The men who do it never
advertise. because the business does not
sound as well as it pays, and man
whose house is built out of dead rats
and cockroaches would just as soon not
have his neighbors know 1t.
Once year docks and piers are turn
ed over to the rat catcher for night
The man who has made a fortune at
the business in New York still works
with his men, for the secret Of the busi-
ness is his and he trusts it to no one.
Rats run everywhere, but reaches have
special liking for rope lockers, and
here they swarm by tens of thousands
unless the pier owners have a contract
with the rat and roach catcher, who,
after thorough overhauling, guaran-
tees freedom from the pests for year.
Whenever an ocean liner reaches port,
whether on this side or the other, it Is
turned over for a night to this same
man. Cats do much toward keeping
ships clear of rats, but, of course, have
no effect on reaches. On this side of
the Atlantic roach catching is the more
important branch OF the business, while
ON the other side wharfs are almost
as full of rat catchers as the ships are
of rats
These once worked with ferrets. but
now they use chemicals. Large cage
like traps are used. in which lettuce
leaves are placed after being sprinkled
with liquid-only the catcher knows
what.
Whatever it is, 1t is as irresistible to
rats as the weird piping of the pied
piper was to the rats of Hamelln town.
No matter how choice the food in the
lockers and In the hold, the rats leave
it instantly when they smell the mys-
FERROUS liquid on the lettuce leaves. 1t
does not kill the rats, and herein lies
another secret of the profits of the bust
ness. Live rats are worth money in
England, where they are used for train
ing terriers. Dead rats are worth mon
ey, too as their skins are used for
gloves. AT 5 or cents apiece, forty or
fifty rats mean something, and this is
quite a usual catch.
For reaches a powder is used, but
what puzzles all old sailors who used
to have the job of clearing ships Of
reaches is that there are never any
dead ones lying around next morning
The favorite way of the sailors when
they had to catch reaches was to put
q cob of bread on top of coil Of
rope Very quickly it would be covered
with hungry brown bugs, and these
they knocked into a well creased bis
cult pan. The grease kept the reaches
from crawling up the sides, and 1t was
poor roach catcher who would not
have two or three inches of reaches
when he was through, and in few
days he could begin and do 1t all over
again.-New York Herald.

LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
She Way In sickness and Old Age


She Way In Sickness and Old Age
Was Pftiable Indeed.
Concerning the life of poor people
during the middle ages a writer says:
In those bygone days of feudal rule
the jewellers in the country were al
most invariably serfs, bound to the ss-
tate on which they were born and I'M
der the absolute rule of the owner
They were possibly better fed than at
the present day, for butter, cheese and
eggs were plentiful, and the fertile soil
of Italy supplied them with abundance
of fruit and vegetables. The poor man
held his plot of ground by the tenure
Of so many days in the year Of service
to his lord. But in sickness or old age
his case was very pitiable, and we have
a curious proof of this in letter writ
ten in 1856 by the mother of Filippo
Struzzi. at Florence. She is speaking
of some old people on her estate In the
country: 'Piero and Norma ella are
both alive and infirm. l have over
flowed the field for next year, and, as
must put it In order, those two old peo-
pie, If they do not die. must go and beg.
Heaven will provide This is no pass
Ing thought of the good lady, who was
pious and highly esteemed, a friend of
the Medici. but 1t is firm resolution
in her own mind. A few months later
she writes to her son: 'Piero is stu
alive, so he must put up with 1t and
go away and beg. 1t would be best, of
course, If heaven will take him. Ap-
parently merciful Providence had al
ready provided for Norma Ciliar'

THE GRAVE OF ELLA.
HuttOn's Effort to Find the Tomb OF
Charles Lamb.

Charles Lamb.
Hutton's Literary Landmarks Of
London was largely a labor of love
and was the result of years of hard
work. Mr.. Hutton gives this example
of the difficulties that stood in his way:
Another Sunday afternoon l devoted
to pious pilgrimage to the grave OF
Charles Lamb at Edmonton As usual,
nobody at Edmonton knew anything.
The churchyard is not a small one, and
it is entirely filed. The sexton and the
gravedigger and a few persons wan
derlng about could give me no infor-
nation. Most of them had never heard
Of Mr.. Lamb, and l could not find the
sacred spot. Naturally l applied to the
rector, and as he left the vestry door
after service leaning on the arm of a
pretty young woman l approached
him, raised my hat and asked politely
If he could tell me where Charles and
Mary Lamb were resting Really he
could not sayl And 1, forgetting the
day, the place and his sacred Office,
cursed that rector for his criminal igno-
rance
"'Great heavens / said, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself! In your
care have been placed the ashes of one
Of the foremost men In the whole his
tory Of English letters. And you don't
know where they are! They have made
your churchyard and your parish dis
tinguished all the world over. l have
come 5000 miles to visit Charles
Lambs grave, and you, the rector Of
the church, don't know where 1t is!
You ought to be heartily ashamed of
yourself And l turned upon my heel
and left him standing there speechless
and COMPOUNDED"
Half an hour after the above incident
occurred and while Hutton was crop
ing around the graveyard In the twi-
light the rector came to him, hat In
hand, apologized most humbly for his
Ignorance, which he had corrected in
the meantime, and conducted him to
the grave of the immortal Ella.

ART OF CONVERSATION.
Spontaneity Is a Necessary InEredi-
emit of Engaging Talk.

SpOntancity Is a Necessary InEredi-
emit of Engaging Talk.
What l wish,r says an essayist in
Cornhill Magazine, lis that people
would apply the same sort Of serious
ness TO talk that they apply to golf:
that they should desire to improve their
game, brood over their mistakes, try
to do better. Why is it that so many
people would think it priggish and eff
Terminate to try to improve their talk
and yet think it manly and rational to
try to shoot better? OF course it must
be done with a natural zest and en-
joyment or it is useless.
What CHASTITY picture one gets Of
the old fashioned takers and wits,
committing a number of subjects to
memory when they are dressing for
dinner and then turning over com
monplace book for opposite anecdotes
and jests, adding dates to those select
ed that they may not tell the same
story again too soon, learning up list
of epigrams, stuck in a shaving glass,
sailying forth primed to bursting with
conversation!
at is all very well TO know before
hand the kind of line you would wish
to take, but spontaneity is a necessary
ingredient of talk, and TO make up
ones mind to get certain stories in is
to deprive talk Of its fortuitous CHARM"

Lillian he began eagerly, but the
girl held up warning finger.
Hush! Don't; I hear a noise" she
breathed.
There was faint zap in the bushes,
a subdued bark. Halstead plunged in
to the green to return with Belinda,
warm, sleepy Belinda, high on his
shoulder, while Frank trotted close
behind. Miss Ferrars sprang forward.
''Oh, Belinda, dear, how could you
run Off and frighten poor auntie sol"
she asked tenderly. Belinda opened a
drowsy eye.
IL wanted to find him." she ex-
planned, "but-but 1t was a long way,

him why you cried when you patted
Fwank,' she went on earnestly.
Don't you really like Fwank? II

contentedly. ASK him to take US

Il wouldn't have thought it of him,
sir" said the old sailor-''him that had
sailed shipmates with me for years.
His name it were Bill Withers, and we
got away from wreck In the Indian
ocean together in one of the quarter
boats. There came a day when the
water and food gave out, and l says
to Bill, says L:
Bill, we can go about three days
on nothing, and then shall have to eat
you
All right, old ship, says he, and
there was nothing more to be said
about it. -Four days passed, and then
| says to Bill:
Stand up and see If there's a sail
in sight
Nary sail, says he, after looking
around.
Then I've got to eat you
"'All right, old ship, but let me tell
you that have just taken big dose
of poison, and If you eat me you won't
be long arter me-"
And was it so?'' was asked of Bills
friend.
1T was SO, sir. and what does Bill
do but swell up and die and fall over
board and leave me to go on suffering
for four days more before bark sight
ed and picked me up. Would you have
believed there was as mean a man In
all this world ?"-Detroit Tribune.

Beauty is question for the blind
to decide" remarked Aristotle when
pressed for definition. Later on he
wrote a treatise on the subject, but
the manuscript is not extant, and
even if it were would we ever be
made to agree on the subject Of
beauty? Men like Hegel, Schelling,
Fichte, Emerson, Burke and Gautier
wrote philosophical volumes and es-
says on this topic none of them agree
ing, however. All the poets, the artists
and the musicians of the world have
tried to tell what beauty is, and only
on one single point has a general agree
ment been made evident-the essence
Of beauty ia the power to attract Az

Professor Talks Against Surgery.
Professor Ernst Schwenninger, lead
ing physician of the great district hos
pital of Gross Lichtenfelde, near Ber-
lin, says that in his opinion recourse is
had to operations far too frequently
nowadays. 1t is surgical craze which
has seized on the profession, to be re-
membered hereafter in its record with
amazement. Cutting out the spleen
and the vermiform appendix because
nothing is known Of their functions
an expedient SO frequent In modern
practice-he looks on as the top notch
of professional frenzy. The professor
deplores the existing system Of special
ization in medical studies and does not
think that the practitioner who studies
the pathology of only a single organ
can have proper knowledge of the
others which go to make up the human
constitution. The man." he says,
who devotes all his power of work,
all his knowledge and capabilities, to
the treatment of only the eyes, nose,
ears, skin, nerves or other organs runs
a risk Of losing feeling, and hence the
power to treat human beings. He
ceases to be physician and becomes a
virtuOso."
