A Visitation of Rats,

Townshend has been much like the quaint
old town Of Hamein this winter, so far as
rats are concerned. To be sure, they haven !
bitten the babies in their cradles nor killed
tho cats so far as we know; but they have
rolled apples up and down the cellar stars
held high carnival when we wanted 10 sleep
and made themselves generally obnoxious. we
have, however found a way to extemlhate
them for less than thousand guilders IL
was the custom years ago to make plaster of
paris cats and dogs and other animals but
they were hollow and easily broken. NOW
instead of the mere external cast Harry
has devised an internal one. All that is
necessary is to mix plaster of paris with
little -four or oat meal and set near II
dish of water The unsuspecting rat eats
the plaster, drinks the water and is soon IN
a condition to have set OF false teeth
made or new stomach 1t is better man
traps and far more scientific. 1t hasn't
worked vet but we hourly expect that 1t
will

unawares, but every one OF those

nervous exhaustion, pain in the small

the penalty has to be paid by danger

manifest themselves, do not drag along
