Just been completed, and a needle

more surprising when the needle was

THE TRADE RAT

One of the oldest little animals in exist
ence is the California wood rat, better
known as the trade rat" 1t owes the lat
ter name to the fact that, though 1t is a
great thief, 1t never steals anything without
putting something else in Its place. 1t Is
said that a paste pot which had been left
over night in the assay office OF silver
mine In that state was found In the morning
with the oldest collection OF rubbish. This
was the work of trade rats They had
stolen the paste and left In exchange piece
of stick, a length Of rope, some odds and
ends of wire and an unbroken glass funnel
The object of the trade rat In so scrupulously
paying for what he takes Is something of a
mystery, but these same rats certainly take
the greatest pleasure in the odds and ends
which they steal and collect.
In Lindsay's Mind In Lower Animals"
description is given of a trade rats nest
found In an unoccupied house. The outside
was composed entirely of iron spikes laid In
perfect symmetry, with the points outward.
interlaced with the spikes were about two
dozen forks and spoons and three large
butcher knives. There were also large
carving fork, knife and steel, several plugs
of tobacco, an old purse, quantity OF small
carpenters tools, Including several augers,
and a watch, of which the outside casing, the
glass and the works were all distributed sep
arately, so as to make the best show pos
gible.

CHARLOTTE BRONTE's WRITING

1t Is generally believed that Zane Eyre
was written by Charlotte Bronte on the backs
of old envelopes or very small scraps of
paper, which the authoress carefully pinned
together and numbered. Miss Bronte wrote
SO small a hand that some of her manu-
scripts can only be read by the aid Of a mag
nifying glass. 1t is declared that on a piece
of paper no larger than a playing card she
would write from 400 TO 500 words, and
after that would insert so many corrections
that the printer found Il well nigh impossible
to set it up. When she wrote Jane Eyre"
Miss Bronte had read few novels but those
by Thackeray, whom she greatly admired.
Thackeray eomplimented the authoress on her
great book, but complained that the plot was
familiar to him. whereupon Miss Bronte
meekly replied that she thought 1t was origi-
nal, inasmuch as she had read so little
