Cities Need Rat Defenses.

The city is the great stronghold OF
the rat, its permanent refuge and it's
last line of defense. The rodents
might be destroyed in all rural dis
tricts and villages, but if not routed
in the cities the whole country would
soon be repopulated with rats from
these centers of infestation.
Old wooden wharves, brick cellars,
extensive lumber yards, ancient facto-
ries, grain elevators, markets and
many other institutions of cities at
tract and harbOr rats. AS a rule the
older the city the more rats are found
in it, but even in parts rebuilt after
large fires they are still to be found,
though less abundant. Many large
buildings, rat-proof as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through carelessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix
lures or merchandise. Fortunately it
is possible to rout the rats from these.
hiding places.
The biological survey of the Q. S.
department of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
rat-proof under a rigid system of in
spectiOn; that all existing buildings
with rat-proof walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat-proofing re-
pairs be applied voluntarily to all
buildings that need them. Use of dogs,
cats and traps also may bring benefit.

WILLIAMS DAY IN COURT
For Once His eharp-T -Tongued Wife
Had to Be Silent, While He Held
Forth at Length.

On one Of the Melanesian islands in
the Pacific ocean lived q much-beloved
pastor, a native, by the name Of WI
liam. With one exception all of Will
ham's little flock bowed before his
word. The one exception was the pas
tors wife, Lydia, lady possessed Of
sterling qualities, but also, unfor-
tunately, of very long and very sharp
tongue. Miss Flornece Coombe in
Islands of Enchantment" tells how
the pastors day of triumph over his
lady finally arrived.
Poor William often had hard time,
but one day a bright idea broke upon
him. Lydia had been on the warpath,
and had refused to allow him to have
his say. He longed to speak his -x;n&
but the gathering tongue never ceased,
Presently the church bell rang, and
William hurried to his vestry to robe
Lydia to her place among tie women
When prayers were ended, William
came forward In his surplice to say 8
few words.
What must Lydia's feelings have
been when she found that she herself
was the text Of her husbands dis
coursel AS she sat there meekly ant
tearfully below him, for once William
had his hearts desire and could say
what he really thought. He had thu
first word and the last word, and al
the words between Lydia was great
ly edited by that sermon, and the resi-
of the island hugely enjoyed it

and if they are allowed to work loose
the ends are liable to split out.
