PoRTUoAL's RAT CAMPAIGN.

Rats appear to be thicker in Por-
tugal than in any other country in
the wol and the new government
has undertaken a campaign to drive
rats out of that country. There are
prizes to be given for the largest
number of rats killed in a given
time by a given man, and substan-
tial aid has been placed in the hands
of the anti-rat associations. Ali the
new buildings used for stores and
warehouses must be rat proof. Some
of the cities of Portugal have the
highest death rate of any towns in
Europe and the scientists say this
bad state of health is due to diseases
caused by rats.-New York Press.

HOW CHlCLE is GATHERED
Ing Gum From the Lofty
Sapota Trees.

In Yucatan the gathering Of the
chicle chewing gum is an industry
that employs the services of consid-
cradle bands Of natives known as
"chicleros." They go into the deep
forests, under experienced leaders,
armed with heavy knives Of special
make and pals and ladies for the
sap, and each one is provided with
a strong rope, more than 80 feet
long. to be used in climbing the
lofty sApota trees from which the
gum is procured.
The sap flows from gashes cut in
the bark. A camp Of chicleros,
where the sap is boiled, resembles in
some respects an American maple Su-
gar camp. After months Of work
the chicleros return from the forests
laden with brick-like blocks Of arc.
matte gum. The finest gum is col
lected from the fruit of the sspots
mostly by the native women, and il
is said that it is seldom exported, be-
cause it is too well liked at home

PLEASURE FOR SMALL BOYS.

Small boys and people of poor di-
gestion, if the bulletin of the Iowa
experiment station is to be believed,
need no longer curb their appetite
for ice cream, for the more lacto
they eat the healthier they will be-
come. Lacto is a new frozen dairy
product invented by the station. 1t
is made of loppered whole or skim
milk, with the addition of eggs, SUI
gar, lemons and flsvoring material.
1t has a very pleasant flavor, and ii
supplies the body with Tactic acid
bacteria, which eminent scientists
say is means of improving health
and prolonging life.

COWS IN HILARIOUS FRoLIc

Rocksburg, N. J.-When the work:

near here, went home the other day
at noon they left the trough Of apple
mash uncovered, with the result that
a herd of ten COWS from an adjoining
farm, wandering in from the in:
closure, ate most Of it. Farmhands
were attracted to the place a short
time later. noticing a disturbance
among the bovines, and found the
yard of the mill in an uproar.
The COW were fr1sking about. kick

tudes that in a human being would
have been described as hilarious. Puz
zled at these antics, the farmers be
came worried when one after another
of the cows sank to the ground. Be

cholera had reached the supposed i'm

Chicago.-Thousands of dollars are
lost yearly by big firms through t.

Much trouble and expense would
have been saved the firm and the gov

It all happened in this way: Some
clever advertiser conceived the idea
of al "ad" Of metal just the size of q
