that these flowers surpass cheese,
crackers, rinds of bacon and other
bats that are commonly used to
entice the rats into traps. e
1t is explained that it is not SO
much the taste ofroses that attracts
the rat as it is their fragrance. and
for this reason roses are expected
to be the popular bait of the future
Cases have been known where
rodents, attracted by the sweet
perfume of rose iu a house, have
gnawed through the doors to get
at the flower. Rats have been
known TO become suspicious OF
traps with the familier bait OF
cheese and bacon rinds and cas- lily
evade a trap for long time.
From experience it has been found
that white roses, such as the dainty
bride rose or the snowy nophitos,
have proved preferable in rat
catching One or two of these
fragrant flowers are placed in the
wire Gagged trab, and it is stated
that it will not take long tor Mr..
Rodent to be temped by the entic-
ing and sweet smelling bait.
The power of a rose es a rat
bait bait is said to have originated
in California about two years ago,
but it was not until recently that
the flower was used to any extent.
Now that the government has
officially recognized the rose as
rat catcher and will doubtless in
dorse it the flower will probably
become a common method of en-
ticing rats to the deaths traps.

Remedy For Poison Ivy.

1t is no veiy uncommon thing to
see boys around town with both
hands envelopedin rags. In nine
cases out Of ten it is from poison
ivy. This plant acts differently
on individuals. Some people can
handel the leaves impnnity.
Others who come in contact with
the leaves are poisoned, and still
others who even happen near the
plant are as seriously affected as
are those who innocently handel
the vine.
According to what an old timer
tells there is but one speedy tenn
edy for this painful inf1ictio, and
that remedy grows at ones door.
Tt is the plantain. And the recire
is simple. Pick the leaves and
place them in a kettle. Pour
boiling water over the leaves, but
do not Good them. Let the water
cool enough to use, and then use
it literally. Bath the parts and
swatke and bandage with very wet
cloths.
Our informant related a very
interesting case in point. He
said that someyears ago the hired
man in his family was poisoned
with the ivy and his body became
a mass of sores. A doctor was
consulted, who gave him the plan
tain recipe. 1t was applied and
in few days the man was able
to change his clothing, which he
had not done for weeks and in a
weeks time was able to resume
his labor. The remepy is well
worth a trial.-Stevens Point Ga

Roses For Catching Rats.

bait is to be experlmeHted upon
by the biological bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture, says the
Washington Post. The bureau
has been informed of number of
cases where rodents that spurned
cheese and crackers were easily
enticed by a rose, and it is believ-
ed that the result of the expert
ments proposed by the bureau

A Narrow Escape.

Pat. Gaffney the' wall street
tonsonial artist, came near finish
ing his career last week Thursday.
Pat. went down to the saw mill
and donning swimming suit
dived off the logs into the river.
The water was about II feet deep
and as Pat. could not swim, he
sank, and after going down twice
he was rescued by two small boys,
Pat will hereafter keep to shallow
water when he goes bathing.
The Woodmen picnic at Wausau
last week was largely attended,
and the picnic next year went to

the Woodmen will have a picnic
at RhineIander in 1907.

An officer of the Congressional libra-
nv was recently remarking upon the
difference of the binding put upon the
documents issued by the United States
government and those Of European
countries. "Here, for instance, Is a
volume issued by the French govern
nent upon fish culture" he said. you
will observe that the paper, presswork

lhe binding, or cover. rather, Is n very
cheap paper. A volume somewhat sim
lar Is the annual report OF the Smith
sonIan institution In this country, but
upon this report Is put a good binding
Of green cloth. The reason for this Is
simple. Practically every book col
Iector or institution in Europe has Its
private binding. It being possible to
have this work done at very moder'
tte rate, and the paper covers are IN
tended merely as wrappers until the
rolume shall have reached Its destina-
lion. In this country there are few
individuals and some libraries which
have their books bound In private
binding. but the cost OF such work Is
10 great that II Is far from being usual.
This is one reason for the fact that the

There is an act OF parliament OF

emnly ordained that from and after

ain called Scotland shall on any pre-
tense whatever wear and put on the
clothes commonly called highland
clothes-that IL TO say, the plaid. phili-

or any part whatsoever OF what pecul-
Iarly belongs to the highland garb-and
that no tartan or party colored plaid or
stuff shall be used for greatcoats or

10 declare that II the smallest piece Of
tartan plaid could be detected among
the garments OF any highland man or
boy he should suffer six months I'M

Planting u City.

As rule cities spring up and grow
better skelter, lanes In time widening
into streets and streets into avenues
and boulevards. For this reason there
is scarcely TO be found model city.
Some sort of order In the streets OF an
cient, crooked Paris was effected by
ruthlessly ripping out whole sections
and running the highways through val
liable building sites. Most cities OF the
old world and not few In America
would be the better for artistic yet
merciless pruning Of the same kind.
Two unusual opportunities for laying
out and laying down cities are now
open In America. both on the Pacihc
coast. Canada has one OF these at the
western terminus Of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, railway under government
control. The region around the site
of the new seaport and terminus Is
practically a wilderness, and there Is
nothing to interfere with having broad
streets, ample parks suitable sites for
public buildings In fact, building

that II Is TO be permanent. San fran
