A pair of rats happily situated and
undisturbed will in three years have
increased to 656,S0S. Calculating that
ten rats eat as much in one day as
man, which we think is rather under
than over the fact, the consumption of
these rats would be equal to that of
65,680 men the year round and leave
eight rats in the year to spare. Null
tiplying in this rapid way, it is provi-
dental that the rat has so many nat
ural enemies. All these to the con-
trary notwithstanding he often proves
sufficiently troublesome to make the
community conspire against him. In
Ireland they SINCE the hair of rat
which has been caught, but otherwise
1t is unframed. In Germany they let
one loose with small bell attached to
its neck. The tinkiing of this as the
belled rat chases his friends produces
panic among them and causes them
to fee the premises.

They will only pretend to sympathize
with you and will then criticise you be-
hind your back More than that, it is
a thing your husband would not do TO
you. He would consider it disloyal and
devoid of honor"
know a woman who used to do this
sort of thing Every time she and her
husband had quarrel she would drag
in some outsider She would either
Immediately go over to a friends house
and tell her all about it or she would
rush to the telephone and call the
friend over to console her then and
there. Many and many time that
silly woman has driven her husband
sobbing out all the family secrets on a
friends shoulder, whereas if they had
been left to themselves these two fool
ish young married people would easily
have made up What the husband
could not forgive was having his house
hold affairs made common property, as
he knew they would be,
Oh, no. my dear, take my word for
it and keep your quarrels to yourself.
Then when you decide to make peace
you will not have any explanations to
give to people, or. worse still, any false
reports to silence.

rose, pale green and delicate yellow.
Notice the highly wrought mantel and
fanciful mirror. The walls are hung
with panels Of tapestry on the shep-
herdess order. The gilt bric-a-brac clos
ct is work of art and contains bits Of
china. The center table is of gold and
veneer and is half covered with bit of
brocade. The ceiling partakes of the
highly ornamental character of the
room, and so do the fancifully worked
panels over the doorways.
