The directors of the newly organ-

nearly $4,000 and aims to run it UP to
a million in short order. During the
week the meat boycott has extended to
all parts of the country and already
in many cities there have been slight
decline in the price of meats and dairy

military Rats.

An old military dictionary tells us
that rats were sometimes used in war
for the purpose of firing powder maya
zines by means of lighted matches tied
to their tails. We cannot offhand re-
call any historical instance of this, but
presumably it did occur, seeing that
Marshal Vauban laid down special
rules for counteracting it. Anyhow,
the dodge is as old ass Samson, who,
you may recall, used foxes in similar
way for somewhat similar purpose.
AS to the royal rat catcher, we may
add that he had special official livery.
According to Pennant's British Zoolo-
gy," it consisted of scarlet costume,
embroidered with yellow worsted, in
which were figures of mice destroying
wheat sheaves. By the way, rats were
not the only animals honored with a
special catcher. leicester, for instance,
used to pay a yearly salary of 81 lis
Cd to it's municipal mole catcher

where he is the pet he is credited with
more than ordinary dog sense and with
understanding every word said to him
in English or German. In order to
demonstrate his sagacity his master
said to him few evenings ago:
"Schnapps, the young people have
been here long enough. Go down and
tell the boys to go home" Downstairs
he waddled and, standing before the
visiting youths, barked and howied.

Because in the past horsemen wore

right side the sword would have got in

left, and we still mount on the left.
