Is only fanaticism that refuses a

The silver men know that silver
coinage is impossible now. Yet
some of them who are convinced
that the Carlisle bill would help
the country refuse to vote for it
because th y are in favor of free
coinage of silver. This is not
only foolish, but is criminal. They
know they can not obtain from

J government to rid the wharves and
I dtK-ks of the country of rats. Now, that
is all there is to rat catching. Tl e work
isn t dangerous, exeejit when you tackle
the rats oil a ship. When the Spanish
training ship was here, I took 1 .*ji> rat s
off her. They were not like- the house
rats we have here. They wer > r-'ini and
cray, with tails twice as long as their
bodies. They were as active as monkeys.
"To give yen an idea. I have a lit-
tle dog that has kilhti 50 rats in ia
minutf s. 1 ptit CO of these ship rats into
i pit with him, and at the end of 50
minutes he had only killed seven. They
did not light him, but they simply kept,
out ol' his way, jumping over him when
he would rush.

was when a rat catcher had money to
burn. It wa< a dull night that he didn't

"Did you ever try the scheme of bell-

the other rats away?"
"I only know this: if you put a boll
on a rat, lie will be found dead iu the

lief that the other rats kill him; but,
say, if you ever want to stir up a rat
colony, catch oue old fellow, smear him
with phosphorous paste and send him on
his travels.
"In the winter I sell a great many
live rats to the medical colleges. They
use them iu experiments. There is a big
tannery over in Newark that gives 8
cents apiece fot rat hides. The skin
must be perfect, however.
"The least tei.r makes it no good, and
it is hardly worthwhile skinning them,
so many are r.-jet-ted. They tan the
skin soft, like kid, and tan it with the
hair on. The skins are not used to make
kid gloves. They told me the last time
I took 12 dozen over there that they
