Immense Damage by Hats.

No animal is more destructive to
property or more dangerous to human
health than the rat. The damage It
does to property runs up into figures
which stagger the Imagination. It is
estimated that there are in the United
States at least 3O000O,0O0 rats. They
destroy hundred million dollars
worth of grain in this country every
year or enough to feed one hen for
every man. woman and child in the
nation. The total annual cost of rats
to the nation is estimated at $500, OoO,.
900.

RARE POSIES IN THE ARCTIC
Rich Blossoms Natures Compensation
for Long Winter During Which
There 10 No Sunshine.

In the brief, Bright, nightless sum-
mer the Arctic IS paradise of flowers.
1t would seem to be a compensation
of Dame Nature for the long winter,
during which the sun never shows his
jolly face once, observes q correspond
ent.
A great many Of these plants have
of late years become familiar to gar
den lovers because they are much used
In rock gardens, and every flower lover
knows their dellcacy Of structure, their
brightness of color and their hardi-
hood.
But nothing can beat their original
environment. These patches of yellow
and blue and rose and purple, cheek
by jowl with great beds Of snow or
some stranded and long unmelted berg,
look lovely. 1t is the setting they were
made for.
Strangely enough, when brought
south and coaxed to grow In our gar
dens, these Arctic and Alpine plants
lose both a part of their great vitality
and their lovely tint. They pine for
the Arctic like the Eskimo does.
Nansen tells of delicate bluebells
noddlng In the breeze, saxfrages with
large blossoms, pale yellow mountain
peoples, white cloudberry flowers, and
blue forget-me-nots In countless mill
lions in the neighborhood of the north
pole. So 1t is not all desoatlon and
death. A flower seed is one of the
most difficult things In nature to kill.
Give it half a chance and it will show
up smiling, and do its "bt" In making
the world brighter place to live in.

Our Other Selves.

The old Hebrew sage declared,
wisdom cometh from the opportunity
of leisure" 1t does not mean that a
wise man must belong to what we call
She leisure classes. 1t means that X
one has only little free time at his
disposal, he must use that time for the
refreshment of his hidden selves, says
S. NJ. Crothers in the Atlantic. If he
cannot have a sabbath rest of twenty
four hours, he must learn to sanctify
little sabbaths, it may be of ten min
utes length. In them he shall do no
manner of work. 1t is not enough that
the self that works aud receives wages
shall be recognized and protected; the
world must be made safe for our other
selves. Does not the Declaration of
Independence say that every man has
an inalienable right to the pursuit Of
happiness?

ly swift time, as she sailed from Stock
ton Springs, Me, on January for
Palermo, and probably reached Gibraltar
In less than a month. which is better
time than some of the freight stea mships
are making nowadays. 1t Is seldom any
American vessels foreign bound leaves an
American port with an all American
crew, and this Is why the Law may be
regarded as almost unique. Naturally
the wages of all hands were larger than
usual, and there also were bonuses Of
fered for safe and quick passage.
The law was not equipped with wire
less, and therefore her skipper and crew
probably knew nothing OF the establish
ment by Germany OF the Mediterranean
war zone for neutral craft, and sybposed
that their non -contraband cargo would
prevent them from being held up.

PRIEST SAYS LUTHER
Is REAL WAR CAUSE
Father Mcmahon Sees Start in
Making Government Su-
preme to Church.

Martin Luther Is responsible for the
war that RACES in Europe and carries
terror upon the oceans to-day. the Rev.
Joseph II. Mcmahon told a large audi
ence OF women yesterday at the meet
ing Of the Catholic Library Association
at Delmonico's. II.
Coarse, licentious. cruel" Father Nc
Mahon called the German nation. and
these vices got their grip upon that great
people, he asserted. when they accepted
Luther's teaching that the State Is su-
preme over the church.
THAT was the birth of Prussanism.'
he said. Forgetting that the State and
the church are two entities. each with
a great moral purpose. Germany, fol-
lowing Luther. has made the iron rule
of Government first, the church sub
ordinate, the religion of valor against
everything the religion to be exalted.
When the Kaiser told the expedition into
China to take no prisoners meaning that
all captured were to be killed. he was
but carrying out the principles. the re-
lentless principles that had their birth
| when Germany turned aside from the
Catholic Church to follow Luther"
Father Mcmahon gave many instances
OF what he termed the immortality, not
OF Luther's life but Of his teachings.
German efficiency has kept this Inn
morality hidden from the people. SO that
they do not realize the evil in the teach
| ings of this man TO whose sect so many
of them belong. But the evil Is having
| its effect to-day. and to Luther is due
not only the ravages OF the great war
but the sex looseness which has become
50 menacing that societies have to be
formed to try to preserve the virtue OF
| the race"
