Denmark, It appears, has already Bt the example. There, since a law was passed giving a halfpenny a head for dead rats, the schoolboys of Copenhagen Copen-hagen devote their playtime to bunting bunt-ing the rodent The bodies are taken to the fire brigade station, where tho tails are cut off In order that the reward re-ward may not be claimed a second time.
