It sometimes happens In human life that man who has lived for years in peaceable If not amicable relations with his neighbors Is suddenly revealed as a great criminal, whose presence has been a constant menace to all about him. and whose sins include tragedies which had long been mysteries. Some such revelation as this has been made about the common domestic rat, not suddenly. perhaps, but with a slow and certain plling up of evidence, until now the Biological Survey of the United States government has indicted the sly gray criminal In a special pamphlet. The first rat to reach these shores was the European black rat, which came over nearly three hundred years ago. or Norway rat. He reached America about f7I5. and has multiplied so rapid Y that he has almost entirely driven out his black predecessor. There Is also third species, known as the roof. or Alexandrian rat Of Egypt. This rat is good sailor. and so Is found mostly in seacoast cities. The brown rat is pronounced to be the worst mammalian pest in existence. No statistics are available for America. but in Denmark this rat is estimated to work three mil lion dollars worth Of destruction every year; and in the United States one rat 10 every horse. COW, sheep and hog-a conservative estimste-would do one hundred million dollars worth of dam age in a year. Rats destroy eggs and young poultry, pigeons. game-birds and song-birds. Tn cities they enter stores and warehouses. and destroy faces, car
 pets, silks and woolens. They gnaw through lead pipe. and 90 flood build lngs with water. They eat away the insulation of electric wires, and thus cause fires. They are prolific sources of the spread of contagious diseases. They breed so fast that a single pair. If they and their descendants were un- molested for three years, would be rep resented at the end of that time by more than twenty million individuals. The bulletin of the Biological Survey Is !ssued especially for farmers and others whose premises are infested with rats. It gives the best methods 5f poisoning them,-the rats.-describes the most effective traps, and gives other information which makes it an import ant aid in the elimination of what has truly been called "a world pest"

The Bookplate.

An e1 libris, or bookplate, Is a small piece of paper whereon Is printed the owners name and pasted on the inside cover of book; in other words. 1t is a printed slip 10 denote the ownership of books 4 proper eI libris should have, first Of all, the name, boldly and plainly printed, and a space left for the number of volumes contained in the library; then, to make It more In- terestlng and personal, some decora- tive device of the owners peculiar and individual choice as well as some fa- yorlte motto, If desired In Europe those who have the right use family crests or armorial bearings for their CT libris Every well regulated library should have some mark of ownership, and the e1 llbris takes the place Of the owners signature.

SOME VACATION YARNS.
Man Steals Fish from Mink-Fisht
 in Dark with Big Trout.


 in Dark with Big Trout.
 The vacation weather has brought out record breakers In nature freaks, says the Port Jervls (N. Y.) core spondent of the New York World boarder at A. D. Barnhart's house, Beaver Kill, Sullivan County, had been whipping the stream without sue cess and while standing Idle on the bank he saw mink crawl out of the water with an eleyen-inch trout in its mouth. He at once grasped the sltua- tion and moment later the trout. The mink was so startled that 1t dropped Its prey and fled back Into the water. This Is the only trout the man caught that day.
 John Dallett, of New York, and John F. Hoag, expert anglers, went fishing the other day at Lew Beach, Sullivan County, and caught the largest trout landed so far thls year. It was twenty two inches long and weighed four pounds and two ounces. It was hooked In it's throat with a common snell hook baited with a mnnow and It took near ly half an hour to land the monster, as the fishermen had only q f7e-ounce rod and very light tackle. At first they thought 1t was m eel, but when they lighted a lantern, which they dropped into the river. and then jump cd after the trout, they succeeded in getting 1t on shore in the dark.
 Isaac Brasington, of Brdgeville, Sul- livan County, yesterday morning heard rlmpus In his poultry yard and he found a weasel there. Without any thought other than to save his chickens he caught the weasel In his right hand and was badly bitten. He didn't let up, though, until he had choked the life out of the little fellow.
 Robert E. Dubler, of Pike County, has a dog that is great on killing snakes. While he was working In the fields yesterday the dog came upon a backsnake, which he promptly shook to pieces. Soon the dog began to bark around a rock Mr. Dubler lifted the stone and found three more snakes The dog dispatched them all
 While the children of a family nam- cd Doyetslzy at Pocono were playing near the house they came upon bear cub not much bigger than a ground hog. The cub followed the children to the house. It is presumed that the baby wandered away and met the fate that follows dlsobedience of parents.

Mrs. Yerkes went to New York, built a palace on 9th avenue and tried to break into society; MT. Yerkes went To London and captured franchises for underground tubes, constructed electric railways and heaped up more millions and more scandal. He estranged his wife, who remained in New York and surrounded herself with a circle of friends, none of whom was able to open the charmed door of social recog hilton. Her house became the Mecca of artists and writers, politicians and rail way officials, and her entertainments were lavish. Suddenly her truant bus band returned to America to die. 4 beautiful ward watched over his last moments and shared hls dying hour with the rightful spouse. Yerkes left his ward a palace In New York and a huge fortune; his wife, life interest in many millions.
 It was just after Christmas day, l9O3. that Yerkes died at New York hotel.

The ceremony was se- cret, and was not revealed until two days after it occurred.
 The papers hummed with the affair but within a week were obliged to print the news that the "coolng" Mig ner had already begun to ask sauclly for money. Rumors waited out of the portals of the art palace that Wilson demanded a cool millIon-that's all. Separation followed and the slx-foot bridegroom went back to the mines.

Lieutenant von Lemsberg of the Rus sian guards endured thIrty-one years of penal exile and penal service in Si- beria. He was in his day fne-looking and highly accomplished officer. Like many of his fellows, he borrowed money from City Councillor Wlassow, an old, good bachelor. Young ron Lemsberg's notes continued to grow, and the old money lender threat. ened to sue unless some of them were redeemed. Then the young lieutenant became engaged to the daughter of Count Todleben and called on Was SOW to tell him the news and to ask for time. You walt" said he, In a sneering way. "Ill give you a wedding present to be remembered" Believ- Ing this to have been a threat, the lieutenant called at the house the next day and deliberately cut hls throat.
