Time to Fioht Mice.

The time to fight mice is when you
house is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not a crumb
of food is left exposed in kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that IN
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next thing to do is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this 81 done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork. AS a final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
mouse trap and cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
in your house was formerly only an
act of slothful neglect, it is now one
OF the crimes of wastefulness, OF
which no patriotic woman. should be
guilty.-Exchange

The CLEANERS.

Cleaning is wrongly believed to rest
on "a common law right in England,
and a legal Obiter dictum exists that
a man who enters field for this pur-
pose cannot be prosecuted for trespass.
But a majority Of judges in the old
court of common pleas decided that to
grant a general right to CLEAN would
be contrary to public policy, because
1T would demoralize the poor and
''open a wide door to fraud" Yet
local custom Of cleaning has been rec
ognized repeatedly by acts OF parl1a-
ment, and in some places the CLEAN
ing bell'' still rings from the tower OF
the parish church twice day during
harvest to let the villagers know when
they may begin to CLEAN and when
they must stop. Ruth's romantic In
dustry seems unknown in Ireland and
has never existed in Scotland.-London

Shin SIGNALS at Sea.

There are various ways in which
ships signal at sea. The most general
method in daylight is by code flags and
pennants, these being arranged ac-
cording to an international system OF
signals. But sometimes, owing to
weather conditions or distance, it is
not easy to distinguish the coors, pat
terms or shapes of the flags, and then
other methods have to be adopted
Chief among these is a system OF eX
hibiting cones, balls and drums, va
rious orders and positions representing
different things according to the recog
nized international code. One comb
nation means, Show your ensign; an
other. Is war declared? Another Wal
is declared. Another, Beware OF tor
pedoes, or channel is mined, Another
Enemy is in sight. Another, Keep q
lookout; enemy's ships reported about
disguised as merchantmen, and so on.
