RAT QUEEN OF AMERICA

A rat and mouse farm flourishes IN
the little village of Granby, Mass,
not many miles from Holyoke, and
what is more surprising is that 1t is
conducted by a woman, who is known
as rat queen OF American"
Miss Abby Lathrop, the owner of
this farm, believes that she is the
onIy woman 10 the business. Besides
rats and mice she raises some rabbits
ind guinea pigs.
or course numberless small boys
have parted with a treasured hoard
OF spending money in exchange for
white rats or dancing mice, but the
interest iU them seldom lasts long at
time. Such things as rule possess
,ess attraction for girls. Miss Lathr"p
AS a child was fascinated by watching
some dancing WnlJe mice Ia SUI D
window and insisted ON her mother
buying her pair, 1t was not before
family of several little mice was
costly established in the home Miss
Lathrop prepared for them. When
they became too numerous few were
sold ami then there was evolved the
scheme Of making business OF rails
ing and selling the little creatures
Apparently the rat queen enjoys
her business thoroughly. Some of
the creatures are bought by doctors
and used 10 hospitals and laboratories.
Many are bought to be kept merely
as pets.

Ranaflt. Of ROYAL Academy.

A membership of the Royal acad-
envy of London carries with 1t numer-
GUS advantages. In word the acad-
envy Is a benefit society founded on a
very generous scale. The ' pension
fund of Burlington house is splendid
one. Any Royal Academician who
falls upon hard times or who Is pre-
vented by i'll health from following
his profession may claim pension,
and the pension sometimes runs into
as much as $4,000 year.
The Royal Academician who dies IN
straitened circumstances and leaves
his widow and children insuhiciently
provided for Is not thought any the
less of for his Ill fortune. The Royal
academy shows its sympathy by gen.
erously allowing those who were de-
pendent on him liberal sum for their
maintenance. And the wife and the
children of a deceased Royal Acade-
mician receive many kindnesses and
acts Of charity from the hands OF the
living Royal Academicians, which are
quite distinct from those given by this
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Magazine.

New Directory Wanted.

One directory that New York needs
but has not got is the names and ad-
dresses of former celebrities who are
now running rooming and boarding
houses.
Such volume would be highly ap-
preciated by our nomadic population.
Many a singer, actress, or writer who
formerly held place in the public
eye has now settled down to the
prosaic occupation Of housing and
feeding a small portion of that same
public.
Their houses are magnet for
young persons with the artistic tenn
permanent. One woman who once en-
joyed fair reputation as violinist
has FIVE furnished apartments which
she sublets, room by room, to aspir-
ants for dramatic, operate, and liter
airy honors. Reflected glory rather
than physical comfort is the portion
OF most of these satellites, but the
privilege of hobnobbing with yester-
days greatness compensates for ma
terial discomfort-NewY York Times.

Source Of the Brahmaputra.

For 40 years the birthplace OF the
great Brahmaputra river Of India was
thought to be among the high valleys
OF the eastern Himalayas or on the
Plateau of Tibet north of those noun.
tains. The theory could not be
proved, for hostile Abors in the Hima'
layan valleys killed the explorers or
barred their way when they sought to
solve the mystery.
1t was believed 20 years ago that
the Sangpo river, flowing far eastward
through southern Tibet, was the upper
part of the Brahmaputra. Marked
logs set afioat in the Sangpop were
watched for in the Brahmaputra, but
were never found. At last, however
the explorers sent out with the troops
who have punished the Abhors for
their massacre of Williamson and his
200 carriers have shown that the two
rivers are identical. The Brahmapu
ira rises far west near the headwa
tiers of the Indus. among the noun

Patented Articles Must b Marked.

We are all accustomed to see pat
ented article marked Patented" with
the date of the patent. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether one In a hundred,
or In FIVE hundred, who notices the
mark realizes its importance to the
patentee. The statute on the subject
makes 1t the duty Of all patentees or
those holding under or making the
patented article for them to apply the
mark Patented" together with the
day and year the patent was granted,
and the same statute provides as a
penalty for not marking that "in any
suit for infringement by the party
failing to so mark no damages shall
be, recovered by the plaintiff. except
on proof that the defendant was duly
notified OF the infringement, and con-
tinued, after such notice, to make, use
or vend the article so patented
