Rats Under Ban in New York Schools
13W YORK. The interest in vari
ous important features of the dny's
news recently was completely over-
thndowcd in certain sections , of the
.j i.y u rumor tiiat a great public up-
Ihlng against the wearing of "rats"
in women's hair has been started , nnd
that the hirsute rodents were doomed
to extinction.
"Down with the rat ! " it was as
serted was to be the battle cry.
The rumor caused consternation ,
not only in several co-educatlbnal In
stitutions , where the matter came up
Tor swift and decisive adjustment , but
In department store.1) ) and other places ,
where mere man had put his foot down
hard on the familiar feminine head
adornment , and there were unmistakable
able- rumblings of a revolution to bo
heard wherever the question was dis
cussed.
The trouble started at the Erasmus
Hall high school , where the assistant
principal , Miss Kate 13. Turner , laid
down the law forbidding "rats" or
"switches , " nnd the following day en
forcing the law against violators by
forcably removing the offending adorn
ments.
While these momentous events were
transpiring In the borough across the
bridge , indignation was at nn oven
higher boiling point In the department
store district in Manhattan. In sev
eral of the big stores notices were
posted In prominent places that "rats"
May Go to Penitentiary in Barrel
. LOUIS. The law of the State is
ST.
responsible for Albert Kapp , son
of n poor widow being a jail prisoner.
The rule of the penitentiary is re-
Hponslblo for hla being almost without
clothing in the basilic.
Prisoners who reach the peniten
tiary under sentence , nro divested of
their clothes and the garments are
burned. "Stir" clothes are provided
and In these the unfortunates must
Hvo till their sentence expires and
then In garb furnished by the big
prison they faro forth into the world ,
a prey for the keen eyes of the
sleuths.
Bvcry man who is sentenced learns
this from the old-timers and there is
a rule in the city jail that men going
up eoll all their belongings before they
start because the inscription of Dauto
is paraphrased into , "All property
abandon yo who enter hero" over the
gates of the prison.
Kapp is a youth. Ho had some
trouble with a man , and the man
said it was an attempted robbery. The
police , because Albert had been In
trouble before , Insisted on a two-years'
sentence. So , fallowing the custom
of the jail , ho sild to other Inmates
of the cells his possessions save a
torn and frayed pair of trousers , a
tattered shirt and a worn pair of
shoos. His mother brought him
some dainties and left him. She could
not bear to come back and see the
lad , manclcd and leg Ironed to the
long chain. Neither did the hey wish
her to come to see him go. He
dreaded the scene. Their appre
hension was not necessary.
Then the Stuto decided there were
extenuating circumstances in the case
and in order to look the facts over
again , and with a view perhaps to pa
roling the boy , the sheriff was asked
not to take Albert with the thirty-
eight other convicted licrsons to the
penitentiary.
"Butyhat am I going to do ? " ho
asked Jailor Wolf , surveying his gar-
' '
nionts.
They were just sufllcient to prevent
him appearing a la Adam. The jailer
laughed good naturodly and told the
story of how Albert had divested
himself in order that the State should
not get any the better of him and
how ho would have to attend services
Sunday In a blanket.
Cat Aids Auctioneer in
. A big ofllce cat , the pet
CHICAGO.
of the real estate board , was. "as
sistant auctioneer" at a recent sale In
the exchange rooms , ami to tabby
Is given the credit for many raises
In prices ,
George L. Warner of the firm of
Balrd & Warner waa the "emergency
auctioneer , " but before ho had become
initiated In his now task the cat ap
peared on the scone and perched her
self upon the desk In front of the
"realty salesman. "
Mr. Warner started In as if ho had
been In the auction business all his
life. The bids cunio In fast and in
largo sums. AH the time the cat peer
ed down at the men Htruggllng to get
a chance at a certain desirable piece
of property.
In the hair of cmployna would not bu
tolerated , the penalty for Ignoring the
order to be dismissal.
During the luncheon hour nothing
but the now order and plans for com
bating It were discussed. In ono store
It was decided that a committee should
wait upon the manager and ask him
to rescind the order or face a gen
eral strike.
"This Is the most outrageous pro
ceeding I over hoard of , " said ono
young woman , "and I think we would
he fools to submit to it. The very
Idea of a man telling us how to wear
our hair ! It was bad enough when
the manager said wo must wear black
gowns mid white collars , but It is goIng -
Ing too far when they tamper with our
pnmpadoiir.s.
"Why , they wouldn't dare to do such
things In Siberia or China or wherever
It Is they have a czar. I for one am
going to wear just as big a 'rat * an I
like , and I don't caio If the floorwalk
er does report me. "
That the last crusade against false
hair adornment Is not being confined
to high schools and department stores
was further evidenced when the wom
en employes of the telegraph com
panics In the city hold animated dls
cusBlon ever the report from Kansas
City that A. U. Richardson , distiict
superintendent of the Postal Tele
graph Company there , had Issued this
order :
"On and after November 1 all worn
on clerks and employes must dlscon
tlnuo the use of 'rats' In their hair
Please govern yourselves accordingly. '
The women employes heio wore extremely
tremoly gloomy ever the situation , for
it was prophesied that the order would
reach New York next and that the
much-abused "rat" would have to go
Suddenly there was a lull in the
proceedings. Bids were slow and the
"raises" came dribbling along In
small amounts. Auctioneer Warner
couldn't understand It. Ho began to
think that his success as a forceful
auctioneer was to bo short lived.
True , It was hln first experience ,
but he had started out with such a
runh of business that ho was con
gratulating himself. He looked at the
desk where tabby had been.
She had deserted her post. That
sunned to oxplnin the situation. A
hurry call was sent lor the cat.
Scarcely had she resumed her place
on the auction desk than the bidding
livened up. Prices went soaring and
the former enthusiasm was revived.
"And the cat came back , " some ono
remarked.
After the bale was over It was
agreed by all , Including Mr. Warner ,
that tabby was responsible for mak
ing the day's sale successful.
Several raises of from $25 to $50
were admitted by the "emergency
auctioneer" to he due to the presence
of the cat. She will have a prominent
place in the future sales of the board.

V Bret Harte's world-famous poem ,

SIMPLE AND PRACTICAL
TRAPS TO CATCH RATS
Need for Their Destruction on the Farm and a Few
Methods which Can Be Employed
By David E. Lantz.
Barrel Traps.
No. 1 With stiff paper cover. , No. 2 With lilnsod barrel cover. A Stop. B Baits.
The rat la the worst mammalian
per.t known to man. Its depredations
tluoughout the woild result In losses
amounting to hundreds of millions of
dollars annually. But these losses ,
Si eat as they are , are of less Impor
tance than the tact that rats carry
from house to house and from seaport
to beaport diseases of all sorts.
Few attempts have been made to
collect statistics of damage done by
rats in America , but it is known lp be
very great. Fanners suffer enormous
losses , both before and after their
crops arc harvested , from these pests.
Among methods for driving away
rats that have proved useful under
some circumstances are the follow
ing :
1. Freshly slaked lime placed dry In
all burrows and runs of rats.
2. Freshly made thin whitewash
poured into the rat burrows.
15. A strong solution of copperas
( ferrous sulphate ) sprinkled in runs
and burrow entrances.
4. Chlorid of lime , loose or In old
rags , placed in burrows and runs.
C. Gas tar daubed about the burrow
entrances.
C. Powdered red pepper scattered in
rat runs and burrows.
7. Gas tar daubed about the bur
row entrances.
8. Caustic potash placed In the bur
rows and runs.
The best bait to use In trapping is
usually food of a kind that the rats
do not get In the vicinity. As far as
possible , food other than the bait
should be inaccessible while trapping
Is in progress. The halt should be
kept fresh nnd attractive , and the kind
changed when necessary. Baits and
traps should be handled as little as
possible. Ordinarily , traps should be
frequently cleaned or smoked.
About CO years ago a writer In the
Coruhill Magazine gave details of a
traj ) of which It was claimed thnt
3,000 rats wore caught in a ware
house In a single night. The plan in
volved tolling the rats to the place
and feeding them for several nights
on the tops of barrels covered with
coarse brown paper. Afterward a
cro&s was cut Ip the paper , so that the
rats foil into the barrel. Many varia
tions of the plan , but few improve
ments upon it , ha\o been suggested
by agricultural \ \ riters since that
time. Reports are frequently made of
largo catches of rats by means of a
barrel fitted with a light cover of
wood , hinged on a rod so as to turn
with the.weight of a rat , as shown In
illustration No. 2.
The Burmese use an ingenious and
simple method of trapping rats. A
largo jar with a weighted cover is
sunken into the ground. A hole is
punched In the side of the jar on a
level with the surface of the ground
A Burmese Trap.
where the rats can get it. Continue
this for a week until the rats get
bold and impatient to get at the milk.
Then mix arsenic with the milk and
await results. This plan is said to en
tirely clean a barn of rats.
Feed for Sheep.
Sheep are better fitted to grind
their own grain than most , nnlmnls ,
so it Is not necessary to do this work
unless the sheep have poor teeth. Val
uable breeding ewes are sometimes
kept until quite old and their feed
should bo ground. Bowel troubles are
generally caused by errors In feeding.
Success attends only the breeder who
takes the utmost pains In selecting
his stock. A combination of quality
and size should be aimed for in breed
ing
A Good Cow.
The fact that a cow has the dairy
typo does not always indicate that she
is a good cow , but a good cow always
has the dairy typo. When a cow with
the proper conformation does not
prove profitable there is usually a rea
son for it. She may have been so
reared as to be worthless , or It maybe
bo she is not receiving the right care.
All cows In a herd will not respond
to the same treatment.
Too Much Com Shoals.
When corn Is plenty and cheap the
average feeder makes a mistake in
feeding shoats too much while too
young. . By the time they reach the
age when they should have frame
enough to carry a good lot of fat , they
are stalled on corn. There have been
few shoats stalled on corn since corn
sold for over a half-dollar.
In the illustration is shown the
framework for the A-shaped hog
house. Little explanation is needed
rmco the dimensions are shown on the
various parts. In. constructing the
house it is important to have the raft-
urs cut the right length so that boards
10 feet long cut in the middle will ex
actly lit for roof boards.
The following lumbar Is necessary
to construct the portable house just
and just large enough to admit a large
rat. Ulco is used in the jar as bait.
A writer states that he saw 72 rats
caught in one such trap the first night
It was set.
To destroy rats on farms , place a
little fresh milk , each evening when
the cows are milked , In shallow pan
described : Nine pieces 1x12 Inches 1C
toot long and 11 O. G. battens 1C feet
long for roof , five pieces 1x12 Inches
1-1 teet long for ends , ono piece 2x8
Inched ten foot long for ridge , two
pieces 2xS ten foot long for plates ,
seven pieces 2x1 inches 1C foot long
for rafters and braces in frame , three
pieces 2xG indues eight feet long for
runner * , and four pieces 1x12 Inches 1C
lect long , rough , for flooring.

Schools for Tuberculous children.
Special schools for tuberculous chil
dren have now been established in
Providence , Boston , New York , Roches
ter , Washington. Hartford , 'Conn. , Chicago
cage and Plttsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington , D. C. ,
two. The hoard of education of New
York city Is proposing to establish
three more , and similar Institutions
nro being planned In Detroit , Buffalo ,
Philadelphia , Cincinnati and Newark ,
N. J.
In cities like Providence , Boston nnd
New York , whore outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years , the re
sults obtained from the treatment of
children In special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad
vantage of this class of Institutions.
This , coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land. proves that children can bo cured
of tuberculosis nmd keep up with their
school work , without any danger to

Boy's Essay on Clothing.

few leaves or feathers round the waist ,
in cold countries , same ns Eskimos ,
the people wear more clothes than we
do , count of the Jcy cold out there.

tives they would catch cold directly
and die of bronkltls. We put clothes
on which are nearly like our bodies ,
gome have caps , coats and trousers ,
but women and glrla wear hats and
frocks to tell who they are. "

their horses which they got from
nothing else. When they ride or drive
they get pleasure of gentle motion ,

horse for a piece of machinery , even
though it moves faster and kicks up

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.
Coffee is such a secret worker that
It is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease , but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. It seems that ho had been
using it for some time and was an
Invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the "Worm
at the root of the tree , " and ordered
It discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says : "Wo found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
of the doctor's charge when wo found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum Instead of cof-
f6e was begun about a year ago , and
It has made my husband a strong , well
man. Ho has gained thirty-five pounds
In that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.
"Tho first tlmo I prepared it I did
not boll it long enough and lie said
there was something wrong with it.
Sure enough it did taste very flat , but
the next morning I followed directions
carefully , boiling It for fifteen minutes ,
and ho remarked 'this Is better than
any of the old coffee. '
\i
"Wo use Postum regularly and never
tire of telling our friends of the bene
fit we have received from leaving off
coffee. "
