RAT DIFFERENTIATION
CAMPAIGN is URGED

Washington. June &.-Calling attention
to the discovery of bubonic plague in sew
eral American and Mexican gulf ports,
and repSwing his warning regarding the
introduction of the plague from Medi-
terranean ports which are known to be
INFESTED, Sergeon General Cumming to-
day urged communities throughout the
country and especially along the coast,
to inaugurate rat determination cam
paigns.
According 20 estimates by the public
health service, there Is at least one rat
for every person In the United States.
The annual upkeep per rodent is computed
as $50 in Great Britain; $40 In Den
mark and 81 in France. The depredations
OF rats in the United States will very prob
ably exceed the estimate for Great Brit
ain. One half a cent day is considered
conservative, but even on this computa-
ton. it costs the United States $lso.o0o, ON
year to support its rat population. This
does not include mice.

Jed had the penitentiary on the tele-
phone. Yes, convict, long trusted,
had walked out of the prison gates.
1t was the old man in the library.
They were hunting for him-had been
for three hours in several different
parties-not because they feared to
have him escape, but because he would
be so miserable and unhappy in the
open all night, and, liking him, they
hoped to find him and bring him back
to shelter. He had no use for liberty;
if would only torment and torture him.

was loose.
"He's on my place." Mr. Sidney
cried to Jed-in voice never would

have convicts running about the
place."
They would have him in few min
utes, said the man at the penitentiary,
now that they had him located, and
he would be as glad to get back as
they would he to get him.
That closed the conversation, and
Mr.. Sidney, with one flash of spirit
showing in his eyes, gently and softly
collapsed in his chair with a moan.
Jed and l, in alarm, got him to bed.

RUSSIA LAND OF HOLIDAYS
Almost Innumerable Occasions When
All Work Is Suspended and Time
Spent in Pleasure.

Russian people observe vigorously
all religious holidays-tive at Christ
mas, ten at Easter, three at Carnival,
and almost every week one extra day,
when an anniversary of some saint is
celebrated. On these days everything
is closed, and nobody works. The SIX
weeks of fasting preceding Easter are
strictly observed by everybody, and the
more devout do not even eat eggs or
drink milk, and do not use sugar, pc
cause it is refined with blood. The
last three days of Holy week are still
more respected, for no food at all is
consumed For Easter Sunday, very
large cakes, sometimes. three OF four
feet high, are. cooked with beautlful
ornaments on the top, and eggs skill
fully painted. Both cakes and eggs,
with other eatables, are brought on
Easter eve near the church and placed
all about on the ground. After the
midnight mass procession OF priests
and choirs comes out and walks
around the church, blessing all the
food, which is arranged before them
as in market.
Easter Sunday and the two follow
ing days are dedicated to paying Wis

Spiders as Companions.

OF all creatures to choose as pets
spiders seem to be the strangest. Yet
many famous men have formed real
friendships with spiders. Beethoven,
when studying the violin at the age OF
seven years, had a spider so accustom-
cd TO him that it would crawl on to
his arm while he was practicing. or
Paganini it is said that whenever he
nlayed a certain air on his violin a
spider approached him and stood still
listening until he had finished. Gaetry,
author of Richard Occur de Lion"
tells of spiders that used to perch mo-
tionless upon the piano while he
played.
