JUST WRITE TO YOUR RATS Strangest Among the Many Remedies Recommended for Exterminating the Pest. Ruts are n great plague, and just now "e nre suffering from llietn to an un'!.si:ul degree. They are dlfllcult, indeed, to get rid of. 1‘olson has its disadvantages, observes a writer in London Answers. A large nionnstery near Itmlapest once bud to he deserted for months because a rut catcher had poisoned all the ruts, and the stench of the dead bodies was Intolerable. The best trap Is said to be u barrel half full of water. Ihe top covered in, and provided with a trap door that shuts Itself again us soon as a rat bus fallen through. (This (loot should be fastened and the trap well hulled for several nights before catching actually begins.) To drive rats out of a place, as apart from destroying them, sev.ernl plans have been tried, line Is to blow u bugle often and loudly In the places the.v un in the habit of frequenting. Another Is to catch a rat alive, tat him all over, or hang a small hell around his nock and let him hmsi again; it is said that this will frighten his hrethren out of the place. The mosi curious way of getting rid of rats per Imps is the old plan of writing them a letter, which must he In rhyme, warn Ing them to go mid placing It hi theh

hands.

The present writer has heard of a ease when this Is said to have proved successful. STOPPE':. to GREET TEACHER Of Course General Pershing Had to See Who This Was, From H.s Home Town.

CAN WOMEN SEE STRAIGHT?

If You Ask Them to Hang a Pictura You Will Get the Answer, Declares a Writer. There were two little groups of three buttons on a certain woman's emit.' Four of the appendages became detached so that she bad to stiteh them on again, and when the job was fin ixhed she held up the garment ami hesitatingly asked if the rows of buttons were quite straight. They were nor. They were about as straight as an lee cream cone In the sun remains pyrii niidieal, and when the buttons were cut off and reattached by another woman matters were obviously worse Instead of better. The incident goes to prove that there Is something in the assertion mode by some folk to the elTect that women are naturally endowed with crooked line* of vision. London Answers states. It inny he true or It may not. hut there Is certainly a big army of women who ennnot develop “a straight eye” for do ing various thing-: no matter how hard they try. It does not coll for mneh thinking to bow evidence of this. If you go lo anv sports where them i« l>nl! throwing, ring throwing, shooting nt a mark and such like tests of “straight eye" skill, yon will find that women are far less successful than men. Showmen with coconut slip's and similar things vastly prefer lady customers to men. hcetnise they take It as a mattei - of course that at least !V> jier cent of the former re “crooked eyed." If a more homely illnstration is required just vvuteh a woman cutting n few slices of bread and mark how the loaf gradually heroines like a sloping hillside. There are dozens of women who have tried all tItelr lives to cut hwes level and who still confess their Inability to do -*o. "Iireuuxe they linven’f a straight eye." So. too. with picture hanging. A woman may hang a single picture straight I v on a wall, but give her a dozen to l.ung in line and watch tin*

result.

Well, It |s an absolute fart that th" majority of women walk very crookisl ly. If tb are told to walk In a straight line for twenty yards and a guiding mark Is made between th" skirting point ami ti e goal tin* differ cure lietueen the straight line ami tie* aeniul walk will fit* found most Ilium I natlng.
