that all the cuss words he knew were

The BoOkpIate.

An ex libris, or bookplate, is a small
piece of paper whereon is printed the
owners name and pasted on the inside
cover Of a book In other words, it is
a printed slip to denote the ownership
Of books. A proper ex libris should
have, first Of ALL the name, boldly and
plainly printed, and space left for
the number of volumes contained In
the library; then, to make it more in
teresting and personal, some decora-
tive device of the owners peculiar and
individual choice as well as some IA
vorlte motto, If desired. In Europe
those who have the right use family
crests or armorial bearings for their
ex libris Every we'll regulated library
should have some mark of ownership,
and the ex libris takes the place Of the
owners signature.

1t 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
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 slow and
certain piling 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.
The common rat Of today Is the brown,
or Norway rat. He reached America
about 1776, and has multiplied so rapid
ly 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 a good sailor, and 80 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
to every horse, COW, sheep and hog-a
conservative estimate-would do one
hundred million dollars worth of dam
age In year. Rats destroy eggs and
young poultry, pigeons, game birds and
song-blrds. In cities they enter stores
and warehouses, and destroy laces, car
pets, silks and woolens They gnaw
through lead pipe, and SO flood build
ings 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 single pair, If
they and their descendants were I'M
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
issued especially for farmers and
others whose premises are infested
with rats. 1t gives the best methods
of poisoning them,--the rats,--describes
the most effective traps and gives other
information which makes 1t an import
ant aid in the elimination Of what has
truly been called "a world pest"
