Ne'er seek a wife till you ha’e gotten a house and a fire to put her in. Apropos of the rat plague in the Midlands, which is said to he due to the deportation of so many ferrets and weasels to New Zealand, an old New Zealander, signing himself R, L. 0., writes to the Standard :—“ In order to outwit the wily rodent, here is another trap which my father used to eulogise as being highly successful in clearing his ‘ store ’ of rats many years ago in New Zealand. It was composed of half a barrel three parts filled with water, in which a brick set up reached to within an inch or two of the surface. Over the top stretch tightly a sheet of stout cartridge paper, making a crosscut some 9in in length across the centre- Over this cut, by means of string, hang some savory morsel, and set up a sloping board for the rats to climb up. No. 1 comes along, and just as he is nosing the bait bis treacherous footing gives way, and he t goes sous® into the water, finds the brick and sits on. it. The stiff paper having closed up immediately he cannot jump out. No. 2 arrives and goes through the same performance, except that he, having no brick to sit upon, tries to evict No, 1.
