111 Getting Rid of the 1m, Var-mints.
There are few St. Louisaus who know
that rat catching is an established busi-
111111 in this city. And fewer know that
nusiderablo ingenuity enters into an
rah-pt practice of the craft. Venerable
housewives recall how, a generation
ago, there were some queer characters
who contracted to rid planes of the ro—
:l1Int pests by all manner of 11111111111, from
ordinary legcrdcmain to the. extraordi-
nary method of the Pier] Piperof Home.
lin. There were others, too, who hired
out intelligent ferrets to exterminate
rats. But the advance of civilizatimi
has had its effect 1111 the science of rat
catching, and even in that branch of in-
dustry mechanical contrivances have
supplanted manual work. '
U. P. Johnson is probablytholeading
rat catcher of St. Louis. Ills traps are
not cheap trities, and there are many
persons who hire him to set the con-
trivanccs in their places, paying 5 cc nts
for each of the little p1- sis that is 111p-
tured. The large-.141 r1staur1nts afford
Johnson considerable work. But the
hotels, which would naturally be 1va
peered to offer a favorable field for
Johnson' a w,ork do not figure as among
his good patrons. H11 says that the rat
is one of the most cauth. us of animals,
and that themeddlesom1 nessoi‘ hmtc Ilry
attaches prevents successful trap setting
in hotels. One big down town establish-
1111I nt was rid of 5 5 rats in 111111 night.
Both Johnson and Henry llein att1 1111

When a land-
lord wishes his place rid of rats, ho i11-
for'ms Johnson of that portion of the
house where the little animals do most-
. of their foraging.
For the first night or two the trap is
set there in such :1. manner that the rats
can nibble the bait and :1ft1rwar1l rs-

GREAT ALTERATION SAL
p the Present WV
Formerly the “common scold"--the
woman who made her neighbors’ lives
intolerable with her raging temper, her
bitter tongue, her slauders and calam-
11i1I11—-was found everywhere. Laws
were 111111111111 recognizing her as one kind
of criminal. There were two forms 111’
punisluncnt by which she was nIprcsscd
or deterred or cowed into gentleness—o ‘
viz, the cueking stool and the brank.
The (Inching stool assumed various
shapes, but. it generally consisted of 11
:Ihair 1111 111111 1I111l11fabc1un, which 1'1 Intcd

which they let her go.

they formed part of thefurnitnrvol' jus-

was 111111 at liadclitl‘e, 11111.- dt Kingston

stood till the beginning of this century
beside the great pond or reservoir of the
Green park.
Apparently the chair and the cold
bath did not 1I111npl1.Itcly destroy the fe-
male tendency to scold, for it was found
necessary toinvent another punishment.
