found himself in sight of his house, that the house was all lighted up. 'What does it all mean?" he asked himself, for lie knew well enough that they never used any more electricity than was necessary for they were try ing to keep down the H. c. of L. as much as possible.
 As Jack entered the hall he heard little feminine sob, and then the comforting words of another feminine voice: "There, my dear; don't cry any more-he has probably been de- tained at the factory on business of some sort" And then he heard Bet tvs voice say: Perhaps so, but he never stayed away like this before." Jack rushed in, but stopped as quick ly, for right before him stood his wife and another lady, the perfect image of Betty. In fact, Jack could hardly tell one from the other: .4Oh, Jack r cried Betty, rushing forward and throwing her arms around his neck. Where have you been all this time? was wishing you would come home early tonight, as sister Grace has just come this afternoon. Her hubby drove her here and left her, as he had to come through here on business, and Is going to call for her tomorrow or n.xt day. You know, she lives in New York, and haven't seen her in ages" Here Betty had to stop to catch her breath. The words struck Jack like a thunderbolt, and he col lapsed into the nearest chair. Now he knew that he hal blundered, and oh. what a blunder! He made up his mind not to let Betty know what had hap pened. Of course, he remembered now he had heard Betty speak of Grace many times, but he never happened to meet her. He remembered that peos ple had said Betty and Grace looked. like twins, although there was three years difference in their ages. What q fool he had been! After happy meal they all retired to the parlor, and once again Jacks happiness was com. plete.

FIGHTING RATS WIFI vASk,sn
New Form of Trap Used on London Docks Said to Have Had Grat-
 flying Success.

Ii Is computed that the London docks contain about 100000 rats, which attack grain, food, and other cargoes, causing about $2,0O0,OO0 loss per annum. A society was established to exterminate this destructive enemy. but the congested state of the wharves made their schemes imperative. Now new benefactor has come forward with trap that opens up a possi bility of putting armies of rodents out of business. The process employed Is simple. Traps are placed along or near rat holes. The trap is made of cardboard covered with lithographic yarnish. The varnish is warmed by heating Its container in boiling water fill the varnish becomes sufficiently liouid, when it is spread 1-l6 to l-e of an inch thick on pieces of straw hoard or thickish cardboard. measur- ing about 15 in. by 12 in. A margin of about 1 in. is left clear of varnish' and bait placed in the center of the board, where 1t adheres to the varnish. Bags of 60 at time have been se- cured. The medical officer of health for the port of London reports favor ably of the antidote to the rat thief. and gives it as his opinion that once their tails stick on the board they are doomed, and that the majority die of fright. Another feature is that if two rats get on to the varnish to- qether one of them kills the other. evidently thinking the other Is holding him.

TABOO OF CULTURE

We of Present Day Are

The taboo OF culture is no new
thing" T. NJ. Colby declares in the
September Harper's; 1T dates from
comparatively ancient grudge in
our brief literary history. People
are ashamed Of their culture nova
days. a friend of mine was saying.
and he went on TO cite instances OF
the exclusion from human inter

course human. and why are you
afraid of general ideas? one visiting

word is ever carried on in IL. And
he is certainly right. The range OF
quite ordinary Frenchman's every

authors club. You may confess a
literary taste TO a French wash
woman but not TO 4 New York
banker. The philosophic specula-
lions Of French barber shops would
be shockingly pedantic at our dinner
tables. The man of letters who eX-
cludes letters from his talk is not
necessarily ashamed OF them. But
he knows the traditional association
in this country of culture with en-
nui. and he knows that IL is amply
/ justified. Acquaintance with the
personalities of cultured groups
naturally disposes a sensitive mind
to the cultivation of an appearance
OF illiteracy. Thought is not n
social nuisance in this country, but
thinkers generally are. Hence, when
seized by an irresistible impulse to
express any sort OF an idea. a we'll
