MOW PROFESSIONAL RAT CATCHERS
USE THE ANIMALS.

“\V ease hi anti ferret«,” «aid a pro
fessional rat catcher, "are about the
tam e thing.
The Imported ferrets
trained to the business are larger than
the weasel, that is all. After 1 a in
through with rat catching I use my fer
ret* to hunt rabbit* out o f brush piles,
hay and straw stacks, whiclt is a prof
itable business when rabbits are
plenty. What you call rabbits over
here we In England call bares.
“When a man once starts In as a
professional rat catcher and gets to
anderstutid training and working fer
rets, there 1* such an attraction In the
trade that be never willingly gives it
up. It’s a profitable business without
too much competition.”
“Do the ferrets ever bite you?”
"It's a vary careless and awkward
man that gets bitten by a trained fer
ret. When one Is bitten by an enrag
ed ferret, the bite Is of a very severe
character, extremely painful and slow
to bcaL”
As the rat catcher talked a G-inonth-
old ferret, hts Uery little eyes gleam
ing like living gems, was crawling over
bis lap and trying to get In under his
coat. “This fellow," said the rat
catcher, "Is as gentle as a kitten and
likes to have his hack rubbed and to
be caressed as well as any cat you ever
saw .
When the ferret bite* a rat’s
Deck, he knows exactly what he Is do
ing. and his front teeth, cutting ltko
razor*. go right through the Jugular.
“Of course we geuerally muzzle them
when we send them In after rats, and
w e alw ays muzzle them when w e send
them In after rabbits. If their teeth
were at liberty, they would kill the
first rat or rabbit they ntcl and would
remain in tbe hole sucking its blood.
When we put a ferret Into a house a ft
er rats, we stop up all the boles at tho
outside of the house except one or tv.-o.
Over these we place bags, and the fer
rets, driving the game before them,
run the rats Into the bags. We keep
the ferret without Ills ordlnnry meals
b efo re tn^ng him, and this makes hint
» mwuk - iu li)s chase.
“M's mighty easy to spoil a ferret
A f te r a young ferret has been badly
totUeB by a rat. as sometimes happens,
you can’t get him to g<> Into n hole
iDuaslvd. But when a ferret is full
g ro w s and lias the skill aud courage
th a t he should have he Is a holy terror
to rats aud Is a vulunhle auiiunl. 1

The mink Is much
Uka the weasel, except that it Is larger,
and many depredations that nre at
tributed to tho weasel are committed
b j tbe mink. All these animals prowl
tiy night, and they frequently go many
iullea lu search of food, even corning
into towns uml the Miihurha of cities.”
Audutain, who was a close stiident
o f nature, wns delighted with the
w easel, or American ferret Its long,
flexible body, It* extraordinary length
o f neck, tho closeness of Its fur. It*
koonnes* o f scent, It* wonderful agili
t y and quickness o f movement, all ex
cited Ills admiration.
An American writer says: ‘T h e coni-
inon weasel has sometimes b c u
caught and carried off by large hawk*
and owl*. Horry waa the experience
o f the captor In such cases. He has
caught a Tartar. The eapllvo will bite
luto tbe side* of tho enemy, so that
b o t h will fall to the ground, the bird
Rioriully wounded and tbe weasel usu
ally comparatively unburt. • • •
Tbe w easel's m urage In defending It-
aelf wbeu attacked by birds of |irey Is
universally admitted, nor I* It deficient
tn fierce oppoaltloo to dogs and even
tneu when Its ueat Is Invaded by ei
ther. It usually kills for food, biting
through tbe head Into the brain with
ouch expertuess that Ita victim can
acaroely utter a cry of paiti. It usually
ca ts tbe brain Hist; then the rest of
the body follows, lu pursuing mice,
rata and moles It follow* them Into
th e ir run* or hole». * • • A w easel’s
proxim ity to a poultry yard is not to
be desired
But lu bnrua, hayricks
and groin stacks It Is decidedly ttd-
vantageous. os It w ill surely extcml-
uate or drive away rats aud mice.”
The w easel's characteristics are not
ed lu tw o American aaylugs, “Catch
a weasel asleep” nnd “Sooner trust a
w easel with eggs." Btorlea are told
th a t a weasel will watch a lien on the
nest for an hour, waiting for a freshly
la id egg.— Indianapolis New*.

“ The heroine of my story,” said the
dealer In precious stones, lighting a
cigarette, " is a pearl, a beautiful full
black pearl of extraordinary size and
rare luster. It is difficult to express its
value in figures. ” And this is the story:
It is just about 30 years ago when
one morning a young woman entered a
Urge jewelry store in Budapest. Every
inch of her dress bespoke the back-
woods ; her bonnet was a composition of
glaringly disharmonious colors; in one
hand she bald a parasol of old, Urge
flowered, faded silk. Every one of her
motions betrayed the country girl. Any
salesman of experience who had watch
ed her entrance into the store would
have thought at once, “ Ah, she want«
a cheap plated bracelet, with the word
‘.Sonvenir’ engraved on it, as a memento
of this her first visit to the city ." And
under ordinary circumstance« he would
have been about right In his conjecture;
but this tim e ho w asn’t. Bhe appeared
so simple and artless, in spite of her
handsome, vivacious black eyes and the
dim ples in her red cheeks, thut the i
salesman attending to her omitted
offering her a seat
The young girl, however, did not
seem to notice this slight, and uninvited
dropped down on a small red plush
fantenil, principally used by the noble
customers of the storo. She opened the
reticule hanging on her arm and drew
out a small package carefully wrapped
In tissue paper. After she had peeled
off layer after layer of the envelope she
