A new rat and rabbit exterminator

metal shell, like one small egg in a larger
one. In the outer shell is sulphuric
acid, in the inner metal egg is dry eva
hide of potash. The outer shell is filed
with the acid and placed in the rat hole
or burrow and all rat holes are tightly
sealed. After an hour or so the acid
eats into the cyanide and turns loose a
lot of most deadly prussic acid gas.

LOVES CLEARING HOUSE.
A Retired Architect Becomes Popular
Through Matrimonial Views.

George w. Da Cunha, a wealthy, re-
tired New York architect, who lives on
Valley road, Upper Montclair. and who,
at a public meeting in Montclair last Oc-
tober advocated compulsory marriages of
men and women more than thirty years
old, says he has been compelled to engage
an extra secretary to answer the hun
dreds of letters he receives daily from
men and women who want "soul mates"
He is receiving mail from every part of
the United States and from Europe. A
published in Bristol, Eng
land, a copy of which reached Mr.. Da
Cunha yesterday, gives nearly a column
to his views, and advises those who think
of coming to America to make Montclair
their destination. Mr.. Da Cunha has
placed a rich Idaho ranchman who wants
a good wife in communication with a
young oma in Allenhurst, n. j. In a
letter from the young woman she in
forms Mr.. Da Cunha that her courtship
is progressing finely, indeed, "We are en-
gagged" she says. MY intended husband
has promised | can live a part of each
veal in the city and part abroad. We
want you to attend Our wedding which
will shortly take place in New York
city," Among the letters received yester-
day was one from a Texas ranchman
who wants a bright New Jersey girl.
Others were from widows, widowers and
alleged m~illionaires. Mr.. Da Cunha says
he has plenty of time on his hands and
that he enjoys being head of a real
clearing house for bliss.-New York

Redeemed the sultan's levels.

Ell Mokri, the ambassador Of MuIey
Haid, has redeemed, in his masters
name, the jewels pawned in Paris by
ex-Sultan Abdul Aziz. The director of
the Mont de Pete and his general secre-
tary, together with a number of officials
and men of law, were present. It took
two. hours to go through and verify each
article, after which El Mokri departed
with the precious casKet.
The sum lent on the jewels originally
was 100000. To this must be added
twenty-five months interest at z per
cent. Tor $35,00O, the fixed tax of 1 per
cent, the fees of the appraisers, amount
ing to $1,000, and finally 5000 for the
formality of having the official stamp on
the Jewels.

PoACHERS ON LAYSAN ISLAND.
Wanton Destruction of Birds on Ha-
waiian Reservation.

The capture by the revenue cutter
Thetis of t~wenty-three Japanese poach-
ers on Laysan island, within the Ha-
waiian islands bird reservation, news of
which was cabled here this week, has
caused CONSERVATION among the local
Japanese fishermen III they are
Fastening now to comsly with the law
by placing 5-inch brass numbers Oh the
bows of their sampans lest they come
under the suspicion of the United States
authorities.
There are dozens of powerful gasoline
sampans in Honolulu harbor, all be-
longing to japanese companies. They are
ostensibly fishing boats, but some Of
them have been known to be absent from
port for weeks at a time and then to
return without any fish. Some of them
have been seen 100 miles and more west
and south, fitting about among the islets
of the bird reservation n it has long
been morally certain that they were en-
gagged in the trade of poaching on the
bird islands Millions of birds are killed
by the japanese every year, but the
capture by the Thetis of twenty-three
Japanese and 259,000 bird wings is the
first legal evidence that has been OBJ
tanned of the existence of the nefarious
trade.
Last summer forty OF fifty powerful
sampans were launched here, some of
them being fitted with engines of As
horsepower and capable of remaining at
sea for weeks at a time. No one be-
lieved that they were intended for the
fishing trade, but it was impossible to
prove the contrary until now.
The Thetis is expected to arrive al
most any day now with her prisoners
and more definite information as to the
methods of operations of the poachers
NAV thnn no nhtQ1nQH If Ic known that
the methods Of the japanese are cruel
in the extreme. Capt. Walker of Homo
lulu tells of having seen thousands of
birds lying on the shores of some of
the bird islands with the wings torn off.

Ruth, who has been married just two
weeks, lives in a little fiat On Congress

lord and master. She has read a little

He attacked the confection with Il
knife and fork, but could not make much
Roadway and was about to declare him
self when Ruth announced:

Your mother sent one over yesterday
She then produced the second pie, which
was as tender and appetizing as the first
had been tough and unsavo1y.
That's something like it." he said,
patronizingly. "Of course you couldn't
expect to become expert at once, my

Subdued.

Pa doesn't smoke around the house,
He doesn't go out nights,
He's quit his club, ana never goes
To wrestling bouts or fights.
He doesn't swear, he doesn't drink
He never cares to roam,
He's doing everything he can
To keep the peace at home.
He never has a thing to say,
Whatever is is right
He's letting mother have her way
And keeping out of sight;
Time was he loved a quiet game.
His fellow men to fleece,
But now h merely stays at home
And strives to keep the peace.
He never goes to buriesQue shows
Or racetrackS any more,
He wipes his feet when he comes home,
And always shuts the door.
When mother says a thing is so
All arguments now cease.
For father says he's working in
The interest of peace.
Pa says he's fought a heap of fights
With ma, and lost them all;
1t took him twenty years to learn
His chances all were small.
And now he says he's on the Job.
Till death brings him release.
There's nothing that he wants to do
SO much as keep the peace.

The cost of living's gone so high
We cannot live and so must die.
And, say,
We've got to do it right away
Because unless we're p. d. q.
In what it's up to us to do.
The undertakers will combine
Along the whole darn funeral line
And make that cost prohibitive
AS now we find it is to live.
Thus we can neither live nor die,
No matter by what means we try.
And this condition being true,
Say, what in thunder shall we do?
