A SCARY HORSE.

A man in upper New York state, who was desirous of purchasing horse for the use of his wife recently entered into negotiations with a vete- ran horse dealer.
 Now. I'm not so particular about speed" said the prospective purchas- CT. but I must have a gentle horse.
 Here is one that I'll warrant to 'e perfectly rafe." said the dealer. indi- eating a sad looking steed near by
 Are you sure he is not afraid of anything?" insisted the man.
 The dealer assumed an air of ,leep reflection.
 Well" he said. there's one thing he has always appeared to be afraid If ever since I got him. It seems as if he's scared to death for fear some one might say whoa! and he not hear it."-Lippincott's.

when Verdesi removed to some dis

friendly with him that when he Wis

guest at the Jesuit's house. 1t was
at this time that eVrdesi showed so
much familiarity with the MOdernist
movement that. Bricarelli pressed for
an explanation. Werdesi admitted
that he had attended many Modern
ist meetings, was familiar with the
leaders of the movement and gave
a sensational account of the language
they used In attacking the church's
authority.
Wholly in his capacity as friend
and not at all as his spiritual advisor,
Bricarelli told his guest that II he

nounce those who were disloyal.
Verdesi accordingly signed deposit

There seems no doubt that verdesi

Handbags of linen are the vogue
Many OF them are handembroidered
but Others again are strictly TAILORED
or braided in a conventional design
They are smart when they are made
to match the linen suit.
A novelty in hand towels are those
which have colored borders done In
cross-stitCh. Garlands or baskets OIL
flowers are favorite designs.
Neckwear that is trimmed on one
side still holds It's own. Jabots with
a wide edging of Irish crochet, which
borders the left side, suffles on one
side andIpoint d'esprit form, are pop,
ular for summer wear.
Long chamois gloves have replaced
to large degree the silk and cotton
gloves. They are comfortable, cool,
nobby looking and easily kept clean,
Wells Of cobweb designs are all the
rage. At this season of the year
white is worn more than black.
To look chic, twin hatpins must DO
worn. Different hatpins in the hat
are quite passe.
Card cases are made Of white linen,
hand-embroidered with insets of Irish
crochet. Inside they are lined with
heavy white satin, which gives them

Buckles, instead of ribbon bows, on
pumps are the proper thing this
season. Rhinestones, cut steel, and
let are the most favored. This deco.
'ative motif Is also seen on footgear
or street wear.

WHAT RATS COST.

About s1s0.oo0,OOO worth Of property
is destroyed in the United States every
year by rats.
Such Is the estimate of Charles M.
Frey. the rat exterminator of the de-
partment of agriculture.
The three cities of the world which
suffer worst from the ravages of the
rats are Pittsburg, New York and st.
Petersburg.
In Pittsburg the average weekly
loss brought about by rats is $3.50, 900.
These figures give some idea of the
commercial Importance of rat EXTERN
ination-to say nothing Of the sanitary
reasons for abolishing the pest. The
rat is the best carrier of bubonic
plague, smallpox, and other diseases
which menace mankind.
Traps, ferrets and virus are the three
most effective means of killing rats.
Virus is the best in that it is surer.
A virus has been developed which will
kill no other animal excepting the rat
and which preserves the body so that
no offensive odors result.
Under proper laws Mr.. Frey thinks
every city in the United States could
be freed OF rats. He would have prop
erty owners forced to remedy the de-
fects in buildings-which invite rats
and make them breeding places for the
rodents.
Where no effort is made to check the
spread Of rats, they increase at mar.
vicious rate. The Norwegian, or brown
rat-which predominates in this coun.
try-breeds from three to 1--WE times a
year. The filters vary in size from
six to eighteen. AS the females begin
to breed when only three months old
any community which makes no effort
20 check the rat pest-will soon suffer
great loss from the ravages Of the little
pests.
