IMPERTURBABLE RATS.
"Gunner," writing in the Spectator, says there must be millions of rats destroyed on the battle front in France b ythe gas. Apparently they rush to the' surface when they smell tfte fumes and die by thousands, yet before twelve hours are over the beggars are swarming just as thick as ever.

All the time a huge rat was nibbling his packet of bread and cheese, and making indignant remarks to another rat that wanted to share in the feast.
