Tbomi ,s Cooper of Ninth street L the
-o*. eminent rat-catcber in Brooklyn
* and artist in his peculiar line of work.
An KatJle reporter found bin, not many
riavs ago, in a shed in tne back of his resi-
L ee, with his shirt sleeves rolled up
a „ nine in his mouth. He sat on a to-
Rn ll d . r ® tenderlv exumlniug a ferret tbe

I bit ol romance in tbe business. It's
feat like Other businesses-it pays
to do the work thoroughly an’
well ■’ ,hat ’ B • a ? ut v. all
-some money in it because
there ain’t no opposition. Rat-catchin’
ain’t Picked up in a day. It takes years
of Valient work for a man to get his hand
of pat'e™ rat . cm C her il go to work an
frit hit all to pipces on bis first job, an
then he’ll throw up the thing in die-
you been bitten?”
For reply he exhibited a number of
srars all about his arms and hands.
eC .!i“m" rats is worse than others.”
Fuff and pause. “A hungry ship rat is
a'iout as bad to tackle as anything 1
t n ow of, ami he’ll always kill a land rat.
It’s a regular thinsr for a swarm of ship
tat* to climb up the hawsers and riggm’
an’ get onto the docks. There they’ll
hunch tbemelves together, and by
aaueakin’ or gome other means, draw out
all tbe neighborin’ land and dock rata
onto the dock an’ go lor em. It don t
matter how many or bow few there are,
vou’ll alwavs find the dead bodies of the
land rats left on the field after tbe fight.
A ehip rat wont live on land. When 1
get my ferrets to work in a ship, and any
of the rats escape my traps or net s, they’ll
get ashore by the hawser and
make straight for another ship.
A rat understands every part of
a ship as well as a sailor.
Vou’ll alwavs find ’em about the
steward’s galley, or wherever the grub i,
and about the engine room, where it’s
warm, and in the lower hold.”
“What is the difference between ship
rats and land rats?”
‘•1 divides the rats into three kinds.
;Yes, three sorts. The city rat, the coun
try rat and the ship rat. Tbeoity rat is
larger than tbe others, light brown in
color, with a whitish belly. The rats that
come into port on Italian steamers are
different in color. The male Is the color
of a Maltese cat, and the female is light
brown and white. Theship rat’s gotteetb
as yellow as saffron, and if they get under
your skin it wants a good deal of Friar’s
balsam before the place’ll heal. The
country rat is smaller than any of the
others.”
“Bow much do you get for clearing a
ship?”
“.Sixty dollars. It’s pretty hard work,
too, sometimes. 1 can tell you. to get them
out ota ship. For keepm’ a hotel clear
I'll get maybe S3OO a tear, and we get
about the same for a private house as a
ship.”
“Wbat Is the method of catching the
rats you mostly use?”
“Well, I work alone. I’ve got a dozen
English ferrets, which cost as high as $lO
Bpiece. Ferrets kill rats two ways.
One’ll bite the neck and draw out all the
blood. That’s the best. But my beat
ferret only bites and kill*, and so the body
decays. He’ll kill a dozen rats In ten
minutes. When 1 goes to a place I finds
out the room with the most rat-holes in
it. Then I plugs ’em all up but one. The
ferrets go down, and then l fix a quarter
inch mesh nt over the hole and sit and
w atch. As last as the rats run into the
pot I grab’em with tongs or my fingers
and pop’em into a bag. Alter two or
three hours the terrets will hare killed or
6ent up every rat in the place, it they
don’t come up then 1 whistle for ’em. If
ail the rats are dead they’ll come up at
once, but if there’s one left it's pretty hard
to get the ferrets up. Mv best ferret’s so
tame that he’ll follow me about an’ crawl
allover me. He’s as intelligent asachtld,
but he’s gettin’ too big for h s business an’
can’t work some rat-holes,” and the rat
catcher heaved a deep sigh. “Ail of em’ll
come up when they’re oalled. I have to
keep ’em in a room by themselves, and it
has to be clean' and out every day and their
feet has to be washed. They live on bread
and milk and fresh meat, but they don’t
get any lor twenty-four hours when
tbev’re wanted for business.”
“Could you free the city of rats ?”
"Well, 1 think if 1 had two men, and it
was worth my while, an’ 1 was allowed
to go about in my own way’ 1 could pret
ty well do that. Only, vou see, it’d take
time, and the work’d have to be kept up.
But the city won't pay to have its build
ings cleaned out.”
“l)o you ever catch mice?”
“Seldom. Vou don’t often find mice
wriere there s rats, for rats catch an’ kill
em quicker nor a cat can, an’ they eat
etn, too. One when 1 was cleanin’ out
the ht. Clair Hotel I bagged two white
mice and live whi e rats, and that's about
the only strange thing I saw in twenty
six years.”

SNARES.
BY CHRISTINE TKRIUJNK HERRICK.
I Copyrighted, 183(1.]
The students of the incisive speeches of
Mrs. Whitney’* brightest and most origi
nal oharaoter, ‘‘Emery Ann,” may be
pardoned for frequently making use of
her epigrams to convey their own mean
ing. No more refined language could
embody so clearly the feeling known in
some sb ape to nearly every woman as does
tbe quaint saying: “Good looks area
snare, especially to them that haven’t got
’em.” Our teachings, not ourlpassessions.
are apt to absorb the lion's share of
thoughts and efforts.
That beauty is a snare to its wearers is
a generally accepted tact. Pretty-faced
girls are warned of the dangers besetting
good looks by such cut and dried aphorisms
as “Handsome ts that handsome iloos,”
and “Beauty is only skin deep.” No one
thinks it neoeesary to utter corresponding
counsels to tbe plain woman, whose con
sideration is apt to he fixed upon her per
sonal appearance from her very consci
ousness of deficiency in the charms en
joyed by her fairer sisters.
In dress the same state ol aff airs pre
vails. There is a great deal of talk about
the devotion of tbe wealthy to dress.
Clergymen, especially those on small
salaries, inveigh against it, newspapers
call attention to it, and many women
whose incomes are limited plume thetn
eelves upon their superior virtue in mak
ing ib9ir own clothes, and thus they flat
ter ihemselves, manifesting less absorp
tion in the fashions than doncher women.
In most cases the exact reverse is true.
Every woman who has ever been able to
order a gown from a thoroughly reliable
modiste reoalls the tranquility with
which she donned it’ certain that it must
hang and fit a merveille. Let her com
pare this frame of mind with that she
possesses when she wears a home-made
garment. In the latter case she is a prey
to harrowing doubts as to shape and style,
anu the good looks of her clothes are far
more of a snare to her than they are to the
woman who is not forced to bestow such
earnest study upon them.
It is perhaps natural that a mac should
feel more complacent about an accom
plishment to gain which he has to exert
all his energies than one for which he has
a natural aptitude that renders its
praotice no effort. But it is a singular
feature of human nature that a man is
apt to be most vain of his proficiency iu a
branch of knowledge rather out of the
line of bis ordinary avooations. An in
stance of this was seen in the case of a
well-known physician who in an evil hour
for his friends had dubbled in theology.
He stood well in his profession, few bet
ter, but the interest which he gave to that
was perfunctory compared to the en
thusiasm with which he dilated to hearers
upon (ree will, justification, sanotification
and adoption. To suoh a point did he
oarry his weakness that he snowed slight
when tbe families of his patients sug
gested sending for a clergyman at seasons
of severe illness. Upon several occasions
when a minister wns unattainable he had
administered tbe right of baptism to ail
ing lnlants, and there were people who
did not hesitate to affirm that he would
feel no compunctions in performing mar
riage or giving the sacrament, did he not
fear public opinion.
A bright New England woman fur
nishes another example. Brilliant in con
versation, attractive in appearance, the
object ot devotion to a proud husband
and affectionate children, un excellent
bouaewile, she yet prided herself upon
none of these things. But she had liter
ary aspirations. She had written poems,
essays and stories for a local paper. She
had sent an article to the Atlantic. True,
it had been returned with thanks, but that
did not affect beropinion of her own gifts.
She delighted to have bookish people at
her home, and in their bearing to refer to
“my correspondence with the Ohilicothe
Citizen.” Of herself she spoke to them
as “one of the Guild.” Her pretensions
furnished much quiet amusement to her
auditors, but of this she had no suspicion.
That her case is not an exceptional one
is proved by the satires of many writers
upon the social gatherings of ce'ebrities
where one meets noted characters of whom
one never bears elsewhere.
In the would-be artist this vanity upon
insufficient grounds ts especially notice
able. A prominent manufacturer of New
York State who was famous among his
business associates for his sagacity and
shrewduess, a leading member in every
worthy enterprise in church and com
munity, a man singularly modest con
cerning all these characteristics, was vet
inordinately vain of the products of his
brush.. Works ot art they could not be
termed by the most vivid exercise of the
imagination, but he looked upon them a3
the one achievement of tils hand and
brain that did him credit. Tbe walls of
his elegant mansion were hung with yards
of canvas covered with his daubs, while
tbe really fine paintings his wealth might
have purchased him were valueless to him
by comparison.
Another self-stvled artist, who trilled
with water colors, was fond ot calling
the attention of visitors to this or that
good “bit” in the sketches and flower pic
tures with which sho had adorned Her
home, prattling knowingly the while of
“chiaroscuro,” “high lights,” "middle
distance” and “values.” Perhaps it is
because art cant is so readily learned
and imposed so readily upon ihe honestly
ignorant that its use is adopted by so
many pretenders.
While weaknesses of this sirt can
hardly be considered ns anything but in
nocent vanttv, they yet are “sn ires,” if
comparatively harm'ess ones. They fur
nish a Iresb proof that a man's lile con
sistent not ia tbe abundance of the things
that bo hath. Rather is tkq chief wealth
of many in their own estimation com
prised in that whioa to the eyes of othe rs
they seem to have not.
A beiirned Negro.
Hon. Mark Blandford, of the Georgia
Supreme Court, has a son who was re
cently engaged in a stupand *tis eff irt to
master Greek. One niguttbe young man
was poring over his lesson, sorely per
plexed ami in dire distress, tn the room
was a ne/ro boy, whose business around
tbe place was to curry nnd feed the
horses, black boots and do similar work.
The negro listened for quite a while to
tbe wails of the yettng student and then
said:
“Mnrse Bob, I can read that for you.”
“You!” exclaimed the young man.
“You’re a fool: this is Greek.”
“Can’t help it,” replied the negro, “i
can read it.”
The book was handed to him, and the
negro read right along. Wheu he bad fin
ished Judge Blandford asked:
“W hero in the mischief did you learn to
rend Greek ?”
“At the Atlanta University,” quietly
responded the negro.
With all his knowledge of Greek, the
boy was only a doer of chores—a much
more commendable occupation, however,
than loafing or stealing.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. OCTOBER 5. ISSfi.
A IIKMONUCS DEKIt.
How a Husband, Cia/t‘(t by Drink,
Devastated His Homo and
Kuined His V. ife.
Mr. F. R. Wilton, living on Twelfth
street, New York, was quite active in the
recent political campaign, so much so that
atone time his strength gave way. In
order to recruit his energies he drank
freely of liquor, although he was not in
the habit of doing so. Under the effects of
the liquor he became crazed, weut homo
to his wife, began abusing her. and when
she protested struck her a terrible blow,
from the effects of which, combined with
the fall, she has just died. The agony
which Mr. Wilton now endures is some
thing fearful, but it is a burden he will be
oomoelled to carry the rest of his life. He
felt “weak and exhausted,” and required
something “stimulating.” He had no
"energy.” lie was “all tired out,” and
needed something “bracing.” And there
is just where Mr, Wilton made his mis
take. _He took the wrong Kind of stimu
lant. He required strengthening, as every
one does at oertain times (ihe body is so
constituted that this is an absolute neces
sity), but there is a great difference be
tween strengtheners and Intoxicants. V
medicine that arouses the life, causes good
digestion, makes pure blood and brings
health and vigor, is a great blessing. An
intoxicant that inflames the blood, shat
ters the nerves, confuses the brain and
ruins the strength, is the greatest of all
evils.
But a good non-intoxicating stimulant
is one of the rarest of all things. Tea or
coffee are stimulants, but they injure the
nerves. A combination of nerve-building,
muscle-making and blood-producing In
gredients is as rare as it is valuable, but
it nas certainly been discovered and ap
plied in the wonderful Volina Cordial. It
is a preparation containing vegetable ele
ments, which, when taken into the circu
lation, builds un the waste elements,
drives out ail impurities and establishes
health and vigor in place of despondency
and disease. Volina Cordial strengthens
and nourishes; liquor inflames tbe blood.
Volina Cordial gives strength and vigor;
liquor brings weakness and debility.
The almost universal demand for stimu
lants Is appalling. It is tbe source of
most drunkenness, and the evils that fol
low in its train are enormous. If people
would only keep in a vigorous state all
the time, or revive thomaelves with a
healthful, not intoxicating, stimulant
when exhausted, much, if not most, of
the trouble in life could be avoided, 'fry
Volina Cordial.
