The Art of Bat Catchlaf.; [New York Comspendenos Troy TUoa.l Those who pass through spring street mar notice thefadvenlsement of Thomas Pullerum. t he famous rat-catcher, who has been very mbocessful to this specialty. Mr. Ftuierton to * man of thirty-live, and has practiced rat "*'iH tog seven years. He was Are years in Liverpool and has been two years to tnt? city. Ho took up the business from an instinctive perception that nature had designed for its Serformance. As he never shrinks from duty e obeyed the promptings of destiny and thue has become what he is. JU\ Fullerton is very ready to converse on the subject or whose importance he has long had a powerful oonoee tlon. He has but one rival to the city, Richard Toner, better known as "Dick the Rtity ** Tbe business is always performed at night, and Mr Fullerton averages four nights to a week. The places most infested with rats are hotels, restaurants and slaughter houses. Prom (me of the former he took 164, while to one of the latter the catch was sis. The task requires much patience, and three nights are generally devoted to one place. He took from one hotel loo the first night, ?oo the second night, and fifteen the Third. For this important service his terms are $10 per house, but hotels are required to pay a larger fee. There is some risk to the business, and Mr. Fullerton has been occasionally bitten severely, but he now knows how to handle a rat with safety. Mr. Fullerton says that "rat catching" as a trade cannot be taught. In other words (as Horace sayB of the poet), the rat catcher must be born to his vocation. Those who have the grand instincts which impel them to the work alone will socoeed. His rival (Dick the Ratter) is hardly inspired to the fall dignity of the work, but Mr. Fullerton feels no took on tuts important point. He has taken is.ooo rats to one year. Who then oan doubt his genius? If any one be curious to learn what isdone with these animals, the reply may be given that they are worth $io per hundred at the rat pits. Mr. Fullerton has constant orders from these establishments, one of which ? ooo in a week. The fox terrier and the boll terrier are both used for this purpose, but the former is preferable. One rat-baiter owns a fox terrier which ldlis loo rats to eight minutes, and animal could not be bought for $100. wimm Eergh break up the rat-pita, which to now highly probable, it would seriously impair the profits of the trade. Mr. Fullerton tnitA* that rats know too much to be killed with poison as it is ordinarily administered. Speaking of rata, it may be noticed as a curious fact that this animal is not mentioned to tbe Bible, and the same omission occurs with regard to Its natural enemy, tbe cat. These animals, however, were well known to the ancient world, and the latter was an important feature to the religion of Egypt. Early Vsgbtablb Inciosvt.?a man with a basket on his arm pushed his way up to a fruit stand yesterday and asked: " How do you sell cucumbers?" The dealer informed him. " Why, man alive, do you suppose I want to buy a whole one?" ' I don't know what you want, but that's the price of cucumbers," replied the dealer. " Tou don't want It all down, do you?" " 1 do, for a fact." " Suppose I give you one-third cash, balance to yearly payments?" Tbe fruiter shook his head. " 111 pay you big interest," persisted tbe man with Che basket. Another shake of the head. "Give you the best of security," urged the customer; "first mortgage on unencumbered real estate." Tbe dealer would only shake his head. " Well, then, how do you sell strawberries?" Our reporter did not hear tbe price, but the man with the basket fainted dead away.?[Cm. tSnt/uirer. Early Rising a Bao Habit.?a German physician has demonstrated that early rising to a very bad habit. He has taken the trouble to collect information as to the habits in tha respect of several persons who have lived to an advanced age, and ne finds that In the majority of the cases the long Uvera have indulged In late hours. At least eight out of ten persons who attained the age of eighty years and upward were in tbe habit of not retiring until the early hours of the morning, and of remaining in bed until the day was far advanced. On the other hand, he has failed to discover, after careful observation of the health of several early risers, that It was to any degree better than that of a similar number of late risers. Bethinks that so far from any decided benefit being gained by getting up early to the morning. It rather tends to exhaust physical power and to shorten life.?[N. Y. Tribune.
