EXPENSIVE RATS.
Chicago Journal.)


A writer in a farm magazine esti-
mates that rats cost the farmers OF
this country $4,000, 600 a year. It
is certain the pests do at least as
much damage in cities and villages
as in the country. Therefore the
American people are paying $120.-
600, 900 a yes~ for the privilege Of
entertaining a furtive, dirty. dis
reputable creature, thickly populated
with fieas. Verify there is no ac-
counting for tastes.
Rats are dangerous. as we'll as
filthy and expensive. They carry
plague and doubtless other diseases.
They cause many fires by nibbling
al insulating and in other ways.
Indeed, there is a close connection
between rats and fires Both can
be abolished by the right sort OF
construction, and a city which builds
out one generally finds that it has
pretty well freed itself from the
other. Since san Francisco's China
town was made ratproof it has had
hardly any fires worth mentioning
Some day the world viii become
civilized enough to abolish the rat.
When the campaign for this de-
struction begins in earnest, will
there be societies of soft headed
