The Popular Coral.
The dealer held up two strings of
coral. They were of equal size, but one I
was dark and dull in hue, tiie other
beautifully pink and translucent.
"The dark one," he said, "is worth
50 cents; the pink one is worth ,SSOO.
That Is what makes coral so popular.
Tt suits all pocketbooks. All over the
world it goes. These strings of rough,
uncut beads are for the dead of India.
They are put round the necks of the
bodies about to be burned in the ;rhats.
These large and blood red beads go
to Africa. They are much liked by
the natives, whose dark skins they
perfectly suit. Here are a lot of coral
hands with lingers extended in a Y
the gesture I hat wards i.fi - the evil eye.
The coral hands are for Italy, where
the belief in their efficacy is wide

Catching Rats.
Tiie best way to catch rats is to put
any animal substance, well perfumed
J with oil of rhodium, into a trap. This
[ induces them tn enter readily and even
; draws them from a considerable dis- ,
i tance, as they are extremely partial to j
! this oil. An on nee of oil of rhodium '
will cost ynu .10 cents. Catnip to a cat |
; is nothing like rhodium to a rat. Oil ;
j of rli'.dium Is made from a sp■■• ies of
■ bindweed and is used in perfumery. —
