I'VE have begun arresting people
in Seattle who fail to comply with
recently passed ordinance relating
to rats" said DIR. s. ]. Fowler, Of the
State of Washington. Just before
l left home two butchers were hailed
into court for violating the law, in
that they had failed to make their
premises ratproof.
after the law was passed the po-
lice went about informing all market
men, grocers and dealers In food
products that they must fortify their
houses against the rodents or else be
liable to arrest. The purpose was to
cut on the rats from their sources OF
sustenance. and thereby make easier
their determination. The butchers ar
rested did not try to make their
places of business secure against tho
entrance of the pests. and they viii
no doubt have to suffer.
I'VE have slain tens Of thousands
of the rats since the campaign OF de-
struction began and are beginning
to breathe more freely, for at one
time 1t was the fear Of our medical
men that they might spread the bu-
bonic plague that had appeared In
San Francisco and cause frightfui
sacrifice OF human lives.

THE JEWISH BADGE
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re-
CURED by European Countries.

Distinguishing WdTN tudt was nv
CURED by European Countries.
To the Jews of today it is fairly
well-known that their ancestors In
Europe were forced to put up with a
great deal of humiliation. One Of the
most insulting methods was to re-
quire the wearing of badge which
would stamp the wearer as an Gin
fidel Jew" The wearing of a badge
was made a general order through
out Christendom in the year 1915.
but it must have been required In
isolated places before that date.
The most usual form of badge was
that of ring Of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment Any
one Of French Jewish ancestry will
know that his forebears wore ring
of this sort, varying in size and in
color-new red. now yellow and white.
according to the whims of municipal
tiles and monarchs. 1t was generally
worn upon the breast. and at one
time 1t was ordered to be worn like
wise upon the back, so that Jew
might be known fore and aft" When
a Jew was found without the badge he
was fined. Evidence of the wearing
OF this badge is found as late as 1892
in France. The forefathers of the
Spanish Jews carried a yellow and
red badge-the men on their breasts,
the women on their foreheads. The
wearing of the badge was not so prev.
alent in Italy, but the municipalities
almost all required them. The badge
was known as the 20" from its shape,
resembling probably the ring in
France. English Jews should feel the
distinction of having had a peculiar
sort of badge forced upon their ances-
tors. 1t was first in the form OF
band-first white and then yellow;
and later Jews were required to wear
a badge with the shape of the Tables
of the Law. In Germany yellow
badges were worn, but here the hat
was the chief means of Identification.
| In Austria and in Poland there are
few traces Of the badge, but in Hung
airy Jews wore badge on their left
breast. 1t Is interesting to know that
in Crete at the present day some OF
the houses of Jews are marked with
the "o."-American Hebrew.

WOMEN SAILORS.
Some Romantic Stories from Naval
History-Two Famous Nautical
Heroines.

Among the many aspects OF oldtime
sea life which the student Of naval
history chances upon in his researches
none is more curious and none more
romantic than the records which are
frequently met with of women, says
The London Globe. They are divided
into two Glasses, those who went to
sea by permission with their hus-
bands, who in the hour of battle rose
to the occasion and did yeoman SER
vice behind the guns, and those who
for one reason and another donned
male costume and enlisted in the or
binary way. In the prosaic times in
which We live 1t is wellnigh impos-
sible for any romantic girl to get to
sea In a man-of-war, though in re-
cent novel the lady correspondent OF
a daily paper is made to attend
manoeuvres, and some terrible compli-
cations follow her incursions into tao
tics and strategy. Up till the middle
of the last century. however. it vas
no uncommon thing for captains and
even seamen to take their wives to
sea. 1t is recorded that at the bat
lie of Camperdown woman assisted
in firing the gun. where her husband
was quartered and stuck grimly to
her post until, with one leg shot OF
and the other wounded, she was car.

ly satisfactory certificates of her use
full services during the action, she
is fully entitled to a medal" After
further consideration, however, 1t was
decided that the claim could not be
allowed; there were many women in
the fleet equally useful, and it will
leave the Admiralty exposed to in
Vulnerable applications of the same
nature" The state of things in some
of our men-of-wer IN that time may
be gathered from an entry in the
diary Of a naval surgeon of the period.
He tells us that when the Magnanime.
Of $50 men, was ordered TO be re-
paired ct Portsmouth, her crew were
turned over to the Canterbury, but
no shore leave was given, permission
being accorded instead for the mems
wives to come on board. In conse-
quence the consumption of beer was
so large that the purser had to enter
complaint. The admiral ordered the
females on board to be mustered, and
there were 492 of them. They all
declared themselves married women
and were acknowledged by the sail
ors as their wives.
Two of the most famous nautical
heroines were Mary Anne Talbot and
Hannah Shell. The former served for
many vets in the navy, and ultimate
ly retired on a pension of $40 year
granted to her for wounds received
in action. Hannah Smell was Royal
Marine, and her memory is honored
by the Sea Regiment to this day. She
served first in the army, but, desert
ing, tramped to Portsmouth. enlisted
in the marines and went out to the
East Indies in the Swallow, sloop. She
was wounded at the siege of Pondi-
cherry, and remained in hospital three
months without her sex being discov-
cred. In 1850 she returned to Eng
land. was pensioned off. and then an
nounced her sex. She continued, how
ever, to wear male costume down to
the day of her death, with sword and
ruffles, laced hat and cockade, and
she added to her income by appear
ing on the stage. singing a song and
doing military exercises. Rebecca
Anne Johnson, another female sailor,
who lived on the lower deck as a
man, may be said to have inherited
her ssafaring instincts, for her moth
er fought and fell at Copenhagen I'M
/ der Nelson. and her father also was
sailor. She was found out, however
after serving seven years at sea, and
was forthwith put ashore. In another
case young seaman" named Wad.
dell, of the Oxford, when ordered to
receive two dozen lashes for deser-
ton, was found to be girl. She de-
clared that she had enlisted in the
Oxford believing the man she was in
love with to be on board that ship.
When she found he was not she had
I deserted. Instead of being dashed, she
was presented by the admiral with
half a guinea, the other officer sent
the hat round and she was given
enough to take her back to Hull. her
native town.
