Aa eld military dictionary tells ni
that rats were sometimes used la wai

tines by means of lighted matches tied
to their tails. We cannot offhand re
call any historical Instance of this, but
presumably It did occur, seeing thai
Marshal Vauban laid down special
rules for counteracting It Anyhow,
the dodge is as old as Samson, who,
yoa may recall, used foxes In a similar
way for a somewhat similar purpose.
As to the royal rat catcher, we may
add that he had a special official livery
According to Pennant's "British Zoolo
gy," It consisted of a scarlet costume.
embroidered with yellow worsted, in
which were figures of mice destroying
wheat sheaves. By tbe way, rats were
not the only animals honored with a
special catcher. Llecester, for instance,
