Her fur is not her only asset. The
rat plague is one of the topics of
tho moment; Its extension is caus

this connection the household cat is
almost worth her weight in gold.

The damape done, by rats is al
most Incredible.
It is calculated that their ravages
cost Great Iiritain something more
than 250 million dollar , a year.
Iiats are exceedingly rapid breeder,
and multiply at an almost incredible
rate, and they can gnaw their way
through brick walls and everything
fchort ef concrete. One rat will con
sume fifty pounds of train in a
year.
In a period of a fortnight rats

Taking these two facts together,
the prices fetched by cat furs and
the animal's usefulness as a de
trover of vermin., it becomes ap
parent that cat breeding en a larire

profitable as profitable as rearing
cattle for their beef or sheep for

(From the Ohio State Journal.)
Foreign buyers are taking enor
mous quantities of American bitu
minous coal and paying prices
never before nnotet. In the coal
trade. They want all that can be
moved arrots the ocean and do not
hesitate to Lid prices up asralnst
local buyers. These foreiqn buyers
ar" not without skill. Mines that
supply coal for export are making
no complaint of car shortage.
When coal sells at from $10 to
$15 per ton at the mine there are
cars waiting and the railways are
able to move It to the sboard.
Miners pt full time and there Is
no interruption to the flow of
war sale profits to the mine own
e 1 s.
Columbus coal dealers speak of
mins in West Virginia that have
contracted their output at $10.
There are rumors that a mine
with a great reputation for its coal
has contracted the output for ex
port at 5 20 per ton. Columbus
dealers and home owners who want
that coal ' have a price of $5. 75
ejuoted, but all they get is the quo
tation. The coal is not corning to
Columbus.
Granville Mr.oney, of Ashtabula
county, formerly speaker of th"
house of representatives, sought to
get coal for his neighbors from a
West Virginia mine and says he
met with a quotation c-f from $12:
to $13 per ton at the mine. That:
would make the coal worth around !
$1S at his town. His town has not j
had a car of coal for sale fdnce
early spring. j
People want coal, the mines are j
filled with it, but it is not coming j
out; tho bins are empty and th" j
summer Is half gen". Part of the
coal trad" has gone made over op- I
portunlties for special profit .and !
has turned Its back to home needs. I
There is need of some power, po
tent to control, and employed fori
the protection of the public. It
should be applied now, not next
winter.
