A TRIANGULAR ATTACK.
Between Frost, Ferrets and Owls, the
Rats Had Little Show.
Farmer Ralph Belyea, J r., of Beech-
WOOd. near Scranton, missed a lot of eggs
from his cellar. He laid the loss to rats,
and one evening he placed a pair of fer-
rets in the cellar. The next morning the
snow between the house and road was
full of rat tracks, and the farmer found
that the ferretshadn’t nabbed a single
rat.
The agile egg thieves had become terri—
fied over the presence of their relentless
little enemies and had chased to the
barn. He carried the ferrets to the barn
in the evening and the next morning he
discovered that the rats had fled to the
hog house..He removed the ferrets to the
hog house, where they killed two rats
that night, the rest of the demoralized
army haVing scurried to a stack of hay a
few rods out in the meadow.
After supper that evening the farmer
carried the ferrets to the haystack, and
within a minute or so he saw scores of
rats scoot from under the hay and go
scampering around on the crust in the
bright moonlight.
They steered straight away from the
farm buildings and their actions showed
plainly that they were afraid to return to
them for fear of encountering the dread-
ful ferret again. The intense cold made
them furious, and they squealed and
fought and tumbled over one another in
avain endeavor to find hiding places in
the snow covered field.
The ferrets stayed under the hay and
every few minutes a rat would come kit-
ing out as if the hay was on fire. Present-
ly they all huddled together and began
to jostle and jump and claw and climb as
though each was bound to force its way
to the center of the bunch and get warm.
The struggling heap was larger than a
half bushel basket, and the colder the
fighting animals got the angrier and
noisigr they became. The weakest ones
stood nofishow whatever, and were obliged
'to remain on the outside of the pile.
While Belyea was studying the lively
antics of the harrassed egg stealers a
huge owl dropped from the sky without
the slightest noise, alighted on top of the
squabbling group, fiapped its wings
twice and then arose with a squealing rat
in each claw and then sailed away.
The silent arrival and departure of the
fierce night bird didn’t seem to attract
the attention of the shivering little
beasts, and they continued to huddle to—
gether and to claw one another as if their
lives were at stake.
Hardly had the owl vanished in the
moonlight than another one with big
wings settled down on the moving mass
and bore away two more rats. The heap
kept on trying to get warm. More owls
came flitting to the spot shortly, and Mr.
Belyea said it was clear to him then that
the shrill voices Of the rats had reached
the ears of the big eyed birds in the near-
by woods.
VVhen the owls had carried off more
than 20 of the rats, the remainder sud-
denly took fright at the appearance of an
uncommonly large owl that swooped up-
on the top of the heap and separated at
once. Some of them ran under the hay,
where the ferrets nailed them in a jiffy,
while others skipped up the sides of
the stack and crowded into the hay. The
ferrets must have ousted them in the
night and driven them out where the owls
had achance to gobble them, for when
Mr. Belyea removed the hay to the barn
in the morning there wasn’t a live rat to
be seen anywhere on the premises, while
four dead ones were found with the fer-
rets at the bottom of the stack.

Wholesale Marriage.
The details of an extraordinary mar-

cluded have new transpired . at Montreal
and the affair is attracting a good deal of
attention owing to the novelty of the
proposal. The scheme has been launched
in connection with a large contingent of
settlers of French " extraction who came
iromhiichigan and have been :gathered
together by a priest of the name of Father
Paradis. They are now preparing to start
for Temiscamingue, in the province of
Quebec, where lands have been secured.
Among the colonists are 200 bachelors
and an equal number of maidens, who
are severally engaged to be married, but
their weddings have not yet taken place
because .of poverty, Father Paradis, to
use each couple to-rjoin the colonists,.
promised to give each a farm and to have
a great marriage ceremony in public in
Aprilpwhen the .‘whole 400 are to be mar-
ried at the same time. On this condition
they joined.

How to Get Them Without Cost.
There is no excuse in these days for a
woman to be ugly—laziness and poverty,
the chief factors, are so plainly remedia-
ble. It is a broad statement that poverty
can be remedied, but there are so many
channels now open to woman to make
money that she has not the excuse of
some twenty years ago that there is no
work to be found.
Exercise. good healthy exercise, is in-
Clothing sensibly made-
those blessed knickers instead of count-
less p'etticoats—known. rules of hygiene
which are, easily followed; simple styles
of dressmaking, which with care and at-
tention, and even a very slight amount
of cleverness, can be copied. are just a
few of the things which help the much
quoted fin de siecle girl to look beautiful
even when not blessed at the start of her
career with regular features, a pefect
figure and a rose leaf complexion.
A fine carriage of the head makes a.
plain woman effective even in a drawing
room of beautiful women. The head
thrown back, the chin and shoulders
held straight, give an air of, distinction,-
of presence. which, alas! English women
realize much better than do our own
country women.
A few Delsarte or physical culture les-
sons are well worth the money spent on
them, for in the unaided effort to attain
the above results sometimes most sur-
prisingly hideous effects are arrived at.
Poking the bust forward, resting the
chin in the hollow of the throat and
walking with shoulders quite square, is
simply a caricature Of grace and ele-
gance.
Women are not naturally graceful, but
theyare adaptive, American women es-
pecially, and a few lessons in the art of
walking, standing and holding them-
selves properly are all that is neces-
sary.
A perfect neck is not often seen. The
shoulders may be well rounded and the
skin white and fine, and yet ugly hollows
and distinct shadows of the collar bones
completely spoil the contour. This can
all be remedied and that easily. Let any
girl who has such a neck try the efiect of
gymnastics fifteen minutes every night
and morning for a month. The result
will surprise her.
The gymnastics consist of pushing the
arms straight out in front of the body
with a jab for four times, then the same
movement with the arms straight up in
the air. Then from the side, and finally
backward, always with' the shoulders
thrown back, head erect and chin well
in.
The object of these exercises is to de-
velop the muscles of the neck, which, un-
less a girl has been brought up to all
sorts of exercise, particularly rowing
and swimming, have never had full
play. A month’s trial will convince any
one of the merits of the prescription.
Massage with cocoa butter is a capital
thing to make the neck and shoulders fat
and smooth, but it is a far more expen-
sive method.
Singing lessons often improve the
throat as much as the voice itself, and
many women who have no talent for mu-
sic consider the money they spend for vo-
cal instruction is “well worth it” when
they see the change in their appearance.
The arms are a sore trial to many a
woman, for a rough, beefy look on the
upper arm seems impOssible to overcome.
Time, patience, a nail brush and massage
above all things will remedy this worst
of ills, which comes from imperfect cir-
culation in. almost all cases. The arms
share, of course, in the daily bath, but
necessary washing and rubbing, hence,
the rough, reddened appearance of the
skin.’
Massage will work the desired results
much more quickly than will anything
else, but let the woman who cannot af-'
ford massage be her own masseuse for a
time and with the aid of bath brush and
unscented soap try what she can do. The
rough treatment will not harden nor
coarsen the skin as might be thought.
but, on the contrary, will render it won-
derfully smooth and white—New York
