Worlds Bill Against Rats

The bill of damages which civiliZa-
tion holds against the rodents foots up
into tremendous figures. According to
the experts of the bureau of biograph
ical survey of the department of agri.
culture, Uncle Sam alone has to pay
$3.50. 000, 600 every year OH account of
property damages inflicted by the pests.
John Bull and the kaiser between them
fork over $3.50, 900, 900.
The rat bills of the world would
reach into the billions. says Success
Sir James Crichton. Browne. president
of Il recently formed international union
of scientific organizations working
together for the determination of rats,
declared that every rat in the United
States costs the citizens at least two
cents day for it's keep
In England rate from one.half to
five cents daily. The British India rat
is the most expensive rodent of them
all. for there each of the innumerable
swarming millions of the pest consume
on an average of three cents daily.
If you add to the cost of the board
and lodging Of rats the expense of
maintaining and of fighting the dis.
eases spread by them. the average
specimen of the rodent tribe preying on
civilized nations may be said to cost us
from seven to ten cents u day.

Faith" All That Was Lett

a young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story of the result of
an attempted application of the priu-
ciples of economies:
For some time she had cndeavOred to
impress upon the minds of one of her
charges the names of the three qualities
faith. hope, and charity. One Sunday
she presented the pupil of the poor
memory with three new shining coins,
n penny. fivG.cent piece, and Il dime.
The penny" she said, represents
faith, the fivc.ccnt piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think of
what they stand for"
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week before.
and called upon the holder of tho coins
to produce them and give their names
in proper sequence. Tho youngster
shulllcd from one leg to the other,
staminercd. blushcd and seemed al.
together overcome with modification.
Finally he burst out with:

expressed it. the blamed old shade

ter what Artabanus or his wife start
ed to do, the old smoke-colored shade
would float up. with his eyes like an
owl, and stand awhile "rubbering"
that is the word Artabanus used-and
then he would begin telling them how
much better he could do whatever
they were doing, when he was alive.
You can imagine that 1t made Arta-

ing on one toe. with the stove pipe
held ut arms length above his head.
and the left eye full of SCOT, the old
misty gentleman would float up and
begin to say he wished he had that
stove pipe to put up. Often. on such
occasions, Artabanus would speak
Grossly to the ghost. and then the Is
joints of stovepipe would separate
and fall on the floor. and the ghost
