I trust these traps will shortly supersede the old ones, so that a portion of the inevitable suffering of the furred denizens of our woods may be dispensed with. In a hunting country where foxes occasionally find their way into vermin traps, Colonel Coulson's invention should be invaluable.
They must be fed often, and at a distance from the hen, or she will pick every thing from them. They should have curds, green cheese parings cut small, and bread and milk with chopped wormwood in it. Their drink milk and water, but must not be left to turn sour. All young fowls are a prey for vermin, therefore they should be kept in a safe place where none can come.
The natives turned and fled as soon as they saw them coming, and the cavalry, skirting the enclosure of the temple, followed them beyond and cut them down without mercy. "Give them hell!" cried Sam. "Exterminate the vermin!" and he swore, quite naturally under the circumstances, like a trooper. Some of the natives fell on their knees and begged for quarter, but it was of no use.
The jails were loathsome dungeons, swarming with vermin, unventilated, unwarmed.
And there is the new type, which we know to our disgust, and unhappily it multiplies like vermin, the peasant who has lent his ear to the social democrat, and, his heart envenomed by class hatred, meets your civility with black glances and the behaviour of a churl in the sulks.

I do not like to trouble the reader with a frequent reference to the myriads of fleas and other vermin which infest the rancherias and old mission establishments in California; but, if any sinning soul ever suffered the punishments of purgatory before leaving its tenement of clay, those torments were endured by myself last night.
Sir Anthony reforms, leaves off drinking, and takes to going to church everyday. He becomes a Puseyite, puts up a memorial window to the Baron, and reads the Tracts. At last he goes over to the Pope, walks about in nasty dirty clothes all full of vermin, and gives over his estate to Cardinal Wiseman. Then there are the retainers; they all come to grief, some one way and some another.
And now, Mister First Officer Colenso, perhaps you'll explain how he had the impudence to come within two hundred miles of a coast where his name smelt worse than vermin." "He was coming back, sir." "Hey?" "Back to Boston, sir. You see, Cap'n, father wasn't a rich man, but he had saved a trifle. He didn't go back to the service, though told that he might. It preyed on his mind.
Before we leave, you must give me a lesson or two in gardening. 'Dr. Shrapnel Mr. Romfrey! said Rosamund half audibly under the oppression of the more she saw than what she said. The colonel talked of her renown in landscape-gardening. He added casually: 'They met the other day. 'By accident? 'By chance, I suppose. Shrapnel defends one of your Steynham poaching vermin. 'Mr.
