Rats.

A professional rat catcher has attract
ed some newspaper attention by asking
Mayor GaynOr to have him excused from
jury business. The incident reminds us
that although the department of agricul-
ture has been marshalling startling ar
rays of figures to show the depredatlons
caused by rats and to emphasize the need
of the suppression of the pest, very few
communities in the country have adopted
measures looking to the determination of
the rodents. an Francisco aroused by
the bubonic peril, went at the rat prob
lem in a systematic way, and Baltimore,
we believe has adopted an ordinance
calculated to promote conditions less fa-
vorable to the propagation of rats i'll the
buildings in that city. Elsewhere, al
most without exception, the sole depend
ence is on the professional rat catcher,
whose work seldom affords more than
temporary relief in the premises on
which his services are employed. 1t is
of little avail to clean the rats out of
one building when surrounding build
ings are left swarming with them. The
work must be taken up by the munich
palities and carried On with system and
thoroughness to be effective. The rat
nuisance is costing the country millions
of dollars annually in food products con-
sumed or destroyed, to say nothing of the
damage to buildings by the gnawing of
timbers, or the danger that turks in the
rat as a bearer of disease germs. The
time is ripe for countrywide crusade
against this rapidly increasing pest

BE PreDared.

A great many people prefer to slide
along the line of least resistance, to
get along just as easily as they can,
to paying the price in preparation for
something better, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine. They are
not willing to prepare themselves for
wider, larger place. They know that
their education is deficient, that they
lack special training; and they know
that they could manage, somehow, to
repair their deficiencies, but they lack
the energy to do so. They prefer to
slide along in an easy-going way, with
the least trouble possible to them
selves.
How many wrecks. how many incom-
plete and wretched lives we see every
where because people did not think it
worth while to prepare for much of a
career! They thought they would get
just little education to help them
along; just enough for practical use.
They did not think it worth while to
dig down deep and lay broad founda-

SNOwsHEDS OF CONCRETE.
Protection Against Avalanches on Noun
tain Railways.

Railways in the west are preparing to
build immense snowsheds of concrete this
summer wherever there is any POSSIBLE
ity of a repetition of the recent disas-
trous snowslides on lines i'll the west,
when trains were swept from their
tracks, killing scores of passengers, said
Henry Gruber, an engineer of the North
ern Pacific railway.
THE Northern Pacific has many dan
gerous passes in the Cascade and Rocky
mountains, where snowslides are con-
slant menace in winter to the passenger
traffic There are many similar danger
spots along the line of the Canadian Pa
chic At most of these places the rail-
ways have long wooden snowsheds, but
these have not proved effective in pre-
venting accidents. In many cases ava
lanches and immense snowslides have
swept these structures completely away,
though they were built of the most mas
sive timbers that could be obtained.
1.-THE roads have learned that wooden
structures won't do, so this summer all
these snowsheds are to be replaced with
great concrete structures which will be
built so strong and enduring that even
a cyclone would not be able to nudge
them. People in the east who have new
er seen one OF the snowstOrms of the
Rocky mountains have no idea of the I'M
mense mass of snow that covers every
thing, and they cannot conceive CT the
violence of an avalanche. Washington

WATCH THE LITTLE THEFTS.
Head of Firm Says All Petty Graft
Isn't in Pittsburg.

Head of Firm Says All Petty Graft
Isn't in Pittsburg.
Petty stealing, cheap graft-it's not
ell in Pitsburg."
The head of the firm was angry.
Send for that collector" he said.
The collector came.
Seems to be too much work for
you," the managing partner said.
Probably you need help
The collector believed another man
would be a valuable addition to the
force. HIM thought so,'' the manager
said, and then, reading from slip:
March 3-Left store $50; went to
home at 93476 East Steenth street, re-
turned to store at 1925; 2:15 went
to Orpheum, etc."
He turned on the now amazed col
lector. Hard work, wasn't it," he
snapped NOW, do you desire to
work, help pay the expense of the de-
tective who trailed you and make
good, or will you quit now?"
Il believe I'd like to work it out, .
the trembling collector replied.
We'll, get move on you, then,
was the parting admonition of the
manager And the collector got it on.
Cheap graft the manager re-
sumed. "Often wonder how some men
can stoop to such meanness Not long
ago | observed that a certain young
man had long been ordering furnish
ings, neckties, and such things by let
ter and paying for them in stamps.
That seemed queer. l don't care for
business that's crooked, so | investi-
gated that customer Found ne worked

just cheap graft. He'd been stealing
stamps for year.
I'VE allow our outside men to turn
in daily accounts of money spent for
car fare. Often one man collects it
for several to save making many ac-
counts. When | noticed one of these
men charging us more car fare than
I believed he spent I looked him up.
Discovered he'd AIDED a figure 1 to the
80 or 90-cent account every day and
SO got $180 or $2-cheap stealing for
dollar. Cost him his job.
Nothing so detestable and so an
noying in business as this form of dis
honesty. There's stealing going on
now in this store that I don't know
how to touch. The question in the
minds Of employees is, Should 1 tell
the firm, or is it any of my business?'
When we can get employees to under
stand that the firms interests are
theirs we'll have most of the graft
controlled.
"If you see clerk stealing from
your employer, isn't it your duty to
tell him? Wouldn't you report it If
you saw a man putting his hand into
another mans pocket on the street?
Don't you owe that much to the man
who pays your wages or salary ?"-

BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND.
Almost All Killed by Imported Vermin
New Protection LAWS.

Nearly every native bird in New Zea--
land will be absolutely protected by law
this year. The animals protection act
provides that 1910 and in every third
year after that may at the discretion of
the governor in council be declared
close season for native game. The alb
sence of bird life in New Zealand is al.
ready most noticeable. II. Mackenzie
member of the government as the result
OF recent journey through the country
writes:
Between Nelson and Hokitika hardly
any bird life at all is to be met with, the,
imported vermin have done their work
OF bird destruction only too well. In
the region from Ross to the south, how
ever, the tut and the pigeon are to be
seen making bright the landscape with
their presence.
SAT the Forks / met a gentleman who
took a great interest in bird life on the
coast, and he told me that the weka,
kiwi and kawakawa had disappeared,
and he believed that the stoats and weas-
els killed every bird in the country. He
had himself just lost half-grown black
swan which he had reared. He had
found it lying on it's back with cash
in its throat.
1.-THE stoats and weasels were often
seen in the neighborhood of the lakes
where the ducks made their nests, and it
was suspected that the vermin paid due
attention to their eggs. Adelaide Ad

1t was some time before they came
upon the others, and when Hilda saw
her husband she realized at last that
she had aroused something akin to pas
sion in him.
Dick Wynter was the last guest to de-
part. and as they watched his train
slowly out of the station Hilda gave a
little sigh, which faint as it was at

ana when the manor was reached Hilda
went straight to her ROOM Arriving
there she flung herself into the first arm
chair she came to and burst into pas
sionate weeping. So this was the end
OF her short-lived happiness. Roger was
going away; he did not care after all.
So great was her grief that she did
not hear the door open softly, and was
not aware of anyone in the room until
she found her hands gently pulled from
her face and a well loved voice say.
Crying, my wife? Are you so un-
happy?"
A sob was the only answer.
Won't you tell me what's the mat
ter, dear? You know [ would do any
thing to make my little girl happy"
A faint smile played round the cor
ners of her mouth and something like
happiness shone in her eyes.
You would do anything to make me
happy, Roger?"

HERE BUTTERFLIES ARE SHOT.
Grow so Large in New Guinea Tha
Nets Are of No Use.

A striking photograph of what is be-
lieved to be the largest butterfly in the
world, tue Ornithoptera Alaxandrae, IS
given III the May Wide World magazine.
This butterfly is found only in British
New Guinea. and specimens are worth
anything from 500 upward. The male
measures eight inches across the wings
and the female no less than eleven inches
IA Widespread exceeding that of many
small birds The story of the first dis
covery of this gigantic butterfly is Gu
rious one A naturalist saw specimen
perched on the top of a tree and, failing
to capture it by any other means, finally
shot it. From the fragments he decided
that the species was entirely unknown to
science. and he forthwith fitted out an
expedition, at cost of many thousands
of dollars, to go in search of the insects.
Two members of the party fell victims
to the Papuan cannibals and another
was only rescued in the nick of time. In
spite of this inauspicious commence
ment to his enterprise, however, the nat
uralist persevered, and ultimately sue
ceeded in obtaining perfect specimens.

SQUIRRELS UPSTATE.
Well Cared For in Winter, They Have
Increased in Number.

In spite of rough weather the gray
squirrels in the village of Geneseo ap-
pear this spring to be more numerous
than ever. this perhaps being due to the
fact that many people in whose yards
they live are in the habit of feeding
them bountifully.
1t is estimated that there are nearly
300 of the furry animals that
make their homes within the confines of
the village. They are exceedingly tame;
dogs, which get a good many of the
young ones, they are almost never mo-
Tested.
The squirrels have a habit of chewing
their way into attics, but the villagers
are so fond of having them around that
in some cases they are willing to bear
with the holes in the roof rather than
drive the animals off the premises.
Although the wild gray squirrels are
supposed to raise their young only at
certain seasons, the village squirrels APP
pear to have the regularity that they
breed at any time of the year, winter or
summer making no difference to them
