A Den of Rats A sharp surprise was in store for a Hastings butcher when he went to secure some tools from the box under ' the seat of his delivery van. Al- ! though the van had been in constant use for a long period and had in fact been used extensively the same day, the butcher, to his astonishment, found smuggled beneath the seat a mother rat with an accompanying horde of eight little rats scarcely more than a day old. The nest had been made from the stuffing of the upholstered seat and a very comfortable nest it was—until the butcher found it. The mother rat succeeded in escaping, leaving her eight squealing babies to the tender I mercy of the outraged van owner.
