White House plates by Mrs. Roose-
vclt's time. that she put Il stop to the
White House china sales.
The design Of the Roosevelt state
dining set was patented, so that IL
could not, like other historic sets, be
copied in cheap ware For general sale.
This copying became nuisance in the
time OF President Hayes. when the
most elaborate dinner set ever made
for the White House was designed.
This was a pictorial set, each piece
bearing a scene, or some animal, bird
or fish, The idea was to represent the
fora and fauna Of every state. The
china was Of a beautiful quality and
the designs were artistic, but when
they were copied in cheap china and
sold, the Hayes dishes lost the indirid-
uality which was their main charm.
With White House china designs SO
much copied that many people owned
articles they thought genuine; with the
historic White House china scattered
at the ends of the country by sales;
and with no systematic records kept
of the articles left In the executive
mansion. you can see how making
collection of china used by the presi-
dents could easily take eighteen years.

Poisining Rats.-A study Of barium
csrbonite; as rat poison, made by the
tsnited States department of agricul-
ture indicates that a 20 per cent. mix
ture with food makes satisfactory
bait. With this percentage a rat or
dinarily needs ITO eat and only one
third or three-eights> Of a meal OF
average size to get a fatal dose. 1t
was found that with this dose many
of the rats poisoned died within "a
hours, though an occasional rat was
found which survived an even larger
amount, thus Indicating that 100 per
cent. mortality Is not to. be expected
in any caSe.:l
A summary of results of expert
ments conducted bv various persons
with a view of determining the dead
iiness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium Is poisonous only to rats.
It is pointed out that the fatal dose OF
bsrium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the sic Of the animal
increases and that a bait calculated
to be fatal to rats may be assumed to
be more or less dangerous to small DO
mestic animals also-Southern Cul-
