How TO GET RID OF RATs.-Prof. Bas-
com, of Oberlin, in a letter to the Ohio
Farmer, says:
THE large brown rat often visits my
laboratory and other premises. As they
come singly, take off each, the night af-
ter discover signs of his presence, in this
wise: l take half teaspoonful of dry
flour or Indian meal on plate or piece Of
board, and sprinkle over it the fraction of
a grain of strychnine. This is set in a
convenient place, and 1 invariably find the
culprit near the spot dead in the morning.
The peculiar advantage of this poison is,
1t produces muscular spasms, which pre-
vent the animal from reaching his hole to
die and decompose. 1t is needless to add
that such violent poison should be used
with care.

A MEMORANDA FOR CAREFUL WRITERS.
spell Kanzas with 2, and Min
nessota with double n. Never spell Santa,
Ana with more than one in the second
name. Do not make mistake apiece in
spelling bouquet and so6ri9uet. Recollect
that employe has but once at the end, and
that be accented, unless you mean an en-
ployed woman, when it should be spelled
employee, with double se, the first one
accented. Never call social party in the
eveing levee, for the essence Of that word
is something that takes place in the morn
ing, it being the correlative term to soiree.
Never write depot when you mean railroad
station. Never say east when you mean
west, nor lceward when you mean wind
ward The best way to avoid many inac-
curacies is one that has great many 9TH
er advantages, Whenever use foreign
word if there is a good English one that
will express your idea; and among English
words those of Saxon derivation are often
better than Latin; Greek or French.-BGI-

"I Wit Try!"

The secret Of all the success in the
World, all its great achievements, in all
times, in all countries, and ofall kinds, lies
in three meagre sylables.
Tiny as these words seem, yet are they
mighty The germ of all fame and wealth
and fortune is contained in them; and in
dustry and perseverance only are required
to bear thar germ in breadth and strength
and beauty.
81 VIII try! .-'tis a noble, ,hcalthful, ear
nest. cogent, glorious phrase, and its reso-
Lutte utterance hath the sound of trumpet
and the voice Of "a prophet! Well worthy
Is it Of stout hearts and of heroes, whose
greatest deeds have been naught save its
expression truthful and tactic.
There seems throb of life,-a flush of
hope,-a sense ofstrength in this founder

boutits triune tru.hfulness, widespread

him who observes it.
Il will try!" He only is hero that
dare say this, and say it too with will
and purpose and an energy to make it
good. There is music in its speaking and
resolution in its speaker! We love to hear
it; for its sterling virtue falls upon the ear
like the holiest teaching, and yields eigor
and support to the heart, fainting from
toll and sick, from misfortune. There is
strong though wholesome contagion in the
air which receives it, and many pure
breaths may be breathed in its full exha-
lation.
Il will try" is the fabled wand of the
genii, that touches the rock, and turns ii
to ashes; that waves o'er the desert, and
fills itwith fragrance; that presses the sand,
and fiecks it with diamonds.
Obstacles ever stand between man and
his greatness; between himself and his de-
sires; his thoughts and his glory. lie must

"fond pride Of dress is sure very curse;
Ere fabric you consult, consult your purse. -

And again, "Pride is as loud beggar
as want, and great deal more saucy."-
When you have bought one fine thing, you
must buy ten more, that your appearance
may all be of piece: but poor Dick says,
sit is easier to suppress the first desire.
than to satisfy all that follow it." And it
it is as truly folly for the poor to ape the
rich, as for the frog to swell in order to O.
quail the OK.
vessels large may venture more,
Blu; little boats should keep near Shore"
1t is, however, folly soon punished:
for, as Poor Richard says, "Pride that dimes
on vanity, sups on contempt Pride break
tasted with Plenty, ,dined with Power ty and
supped with infamy." And after all, of
what use is this pride of appearance, for
which SO much is risked, SO much is suf-
fered? It cannot promote health, or ease
pain: it makes no increase of merit in the
person, it creates envy, it hastens misfor-
tune.
But what madness 1t must be to run in
debt for these superfluities! We are offer
ed by the terms Of this sale, six months
credit; and that perhaps, has induced soma
of US to attend it, because we cannot spare
the ready money, and hope to be fine with
out it. But ali! think what you do when
you run in debt; you give to another pow
er over your liberty. If you cannot pay
at the time, you viii be ashamed to see
your creator; you speak to him; you viii
make poor, pitiful sneaking excuses, and,
by degrees, come to lose your veracity ,and
sink into base, downright lying; for, "the
second vice is lying, the first is running
in debt" as Poor Richard says; and again,
to the same purpose, "lying rides upon
debts back; whereas a freeborn English
man ought not to be ashamed or afraid to
see or speak to any man living. But pow
erty oftens deprives man of all spirit and
virtue. ''1t is hard for an empty bag to
stand upright. DR.. Franklin.

est, to suspend the passage of a bill whose
merits cannot secure the approval OF two
thirds Of the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatiyes until the Judgment OF the people
can be obtained thereon, and which has
saved the American people from the cor
rupt and tyrannical domination OF the
Bank Of the United States, and from a
corupting system Of general internal mn
prOvements.
VIII. Resolved, That the Democratic
party will faithfully abide by and uphold
the principles laid down in the Kentucky
and Virginia resolutions of 1898, and in
the report of Mr.. Madison to the Virginia
Legislature in 1899; that it adopts those
principles as constituting one Of the main
foundations of its political creed, and IS
resolved to carry them out in their obvious
meaning and import.
TX. Resolped, That the war with Mex
leo, upon all the principles Of patriotism
and the laws of nations, was a just and
necessary war on our part, in which every
American citizen should have shown HIM
self on the side Of his country, and neither
morally nor physically, by word or deed,
have given "aid and comfort to the
enemy"
X Resolped, That we rejoice at the res
toration of friendly relations with our sister
Republic Of Mexico, and earnestly desire for
her all the blessings and prosperity which
we enjoy under republican institutions;
and we congratulate the American people
upon the results Of that war, which have
so manilestly justified the policy and CON
duct Of the Democratic party, and insured
to the United States "indemnity for the
past and security for the future"
XII. ResolOed,' That, in view ofthe con-
dition Of popular institutions in the Old
World, a high and sacred duty is devolyed,
with increased responsibility, upon the
Democratic party Of this country, as the
party Of the people, to uphold and maintain
the rights of every State, and thereby the
Union Of the States, and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty,
by continuing to resist all monopolies and
exclusive Legislation for the benefit of the
few at the expense Of the many, and by a
yigilant and constant adherence to those
principles and compromises of the Con-
stitution which are broad enough and
strong enough to embrace and uphold the
Union as il was, the Union as it is, and
the Union as it shall be, in the full expan-
sion of the energies and capacity of this
great and progressive people.
