Mistakes Attract Attention.

Mstakes Attract Attention.
 The average person takes pleasurt in calling attention to errors in spell ing or grammar in signs. The mis- takes furnish them temptation to dis play their knowledge that is hard to resist. Every now and then," said 8 local haberdasher, T fix up a window sign with misspelled word or an err TOT in grammar in it. Dozens of people, drop in to tell me where it's wrong. Of course act surprised and thank them. Then the chances are sell them something" At Kansas City theater there used 10 be an advertis- ing curtain which bore the word "ver- sus" spelled verses" The word at racted more comment than many of the acts did. It made people talk about the theater, and in the theatrical business to get the public to talking about things is the first step toward money making. So many people be gan to bother the house manager about the misspelled word, however, that he finally had to have it changed.-Kan- sas City Times.

Rats.

A plan that will sometimes destroy large number of rats is to fill a barrel partly full of water and cover 1t with an inch or so of meal. A hole is bored in the barrel a little above the meal, and the rats enter, sink through the meal and find watery grave. In catching rats in steel traps great care is required to deceive the rodents. Traps need to be we'll covered and ev- erything done to avoid raising the sus- picions of the "varmints." Often when rats refuse to eat poisoned bread and butter they may be baited with poison ed crackers, cheese or meat. Rats are shy and gamy creatures, but it is pos sible to make game of them"

Named For His Satanic Ma5esty.
 The unfortunate disaster by which a life has been lost on the Welsh mountain known as the Devils Kitch- en has drawn attention, says the Dundee Advertiser, to the curious but seemingly universal practice of past times in naming peculiar natural formations after his Satanic majes- u. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that hardly a county in tha British isles Is without some placs or thing with the designation Devil all of which prompts the thought that- his Satanic majesty must be a holder of a considerable amount of property on this terrestrial globe. The Devfra Punch Bowl, the Devils Bellows, tho Devils Beef Tub. the Devils Frying Pan, the Devils Lake, the DeyfPd Dike, the Devils Caldron, are few instances which occur at random, scat tered about in various parts of thl country.

H. Knew Too Much.

A curious Malayan legend says that in olden times the waters surrounding Singapore were so infested with sword fish as to make it impossible for the fishermen to pursue their daily task. A boy advised the rajah to let down into the water freshly peeled stems of the banana plant, and, this being done, the fish imbedded their swords in the stems and were easily killed. The boy genius was considered a danger to the throne, and he was executed lest he grow up and become a conspirator.
