In the first, by tubercular absorption in the

bp cicatures, or scars. Those welded to the
opinions Of the past, may assert that even now
Consumption is incurabie ; such are behind the
age. To all this great truth must be apparent,
VIZ: that the medicines inhaled in the form Of
Vapor and Powder, directly into the lungs must
be much more eifcctual than that taken into tho
Stomach, where the disease does not exist
The advantages Of Inhalation in consumption
and Throat Diseases is, that medicine in the form
ofVapor are applied directly to the lungs whore
the disease exists; the stomach is thus left free
to aid in restoring health by administering to il
healthy, life-giving food. There is no case so

that the patient is never required to leave home,

Killing Rats.

This at any time is disagreeable bust
ness. If you are successful, the dead rats
decay in their hiding places, and diffuse a
horrid and almost peshlential stencil; and
the presence of active poisons on the prem
ises, is not without danger to other animals
and to children. But if duo precaution is
used in these respects, or if you are willing
to run the risks, the spring is a good time
to destroy rats; they are hungry now, for
food is scarce; besides, in killing them now
you prevent their increase for the year.
any one of the following poisons may be
used:
Take Of hogs lard and of carbonate Of
baryta, enough of each; mix well together.
Smear the mixture on the inside of a pot OF
kettle, and place it inverted, so high from
the floor that cats or dogs cannot get at it.
The rats like the lard. The baryta is with
out odor, and is powerful poison.
Another poison: Take of orpiment or
kings yellow, one ounce, ana of lard four
ounces. Mix well, and use as above, or
spread it on bread.
Another still Get some good strychnia
mix little of it with Indian meal or rub a
little on small bits of cheese, and place il
where the rats can find it.
The use of one, or all of these poisons for
"a time will thin out the rats Ohio Far.

Funny Rat Trap.

A correspondent of the Genesee Farmer
relates the following funny way of catching
rats:
I build my eorn-crib on posts about eight
cen inches high made rat-proof by putting
broad board or sheet iron on the top of the
posts. Make every thing secure against
rats except the granary, and have this rat
proof except at one of the back corners
Here where they will like it best, make a
nice hole with spout five inches long on
the outside, where they can 90 in and out
and cat at pleasure. Then, if think the
rats are too numerous, l take bag, after
dark, slip the mouth over the spout on the
outside of the granary. Then send Ben in
at the door with light, and the rats and
mice will all run into the bag. Then slip
the bag off the spout, and slap it once or
twice against the side of the granary. Turn
out the dead, and in an hour or two repeat
the process. After all are killed, stop up
the hole till new recruits arrive, which catch
in the same way.

Always have some Of them about YOU
A ne'o strawberry plant will serve to begin
with; new varivicty of apples for grating
may como along with il; new variety Of
corn, tried cautiously, will do no harm; a
new corn-planter or seed drill, to experiment
with, will enlarge your ideas, whether you
adopt it pcrmaturely or not. A new plow
may be added, if a judeious and skillful
friend has tried it and says it will pay. A
new axe, hoe, pruning knife or rake may all
be examined and adopted if they are really
good. All improvement is secured by en-
grating the new on the old, carefully yet
boldly. You will loose sometime, but you
will loose more, if you don't keep up with
the world. Be careful that your brain is
not among your idle capital. Keep head,
rs well as hands busy Ohio Former.

their little daughters run out of doors and

/ think, too, that it would be much better
for the country housewives, if they would
learn their daughters to make light bread,
instead of learning them to play on the pi-
ano. To be sure it would be well enough
to learn them to work first. For my part,
l have a mother that believes in raising
girls to help her, and not sit in the parlor
for her to wait upon. She learned me to
make light bread and johnny cake in pre-
ference to playing on the piano, and | thank
her for it. Ny mother made considerable
cheese, last summer, and took some les
sons in that line She would stand by and
tell just how hot to have it. If it was not
just so many degrees above zero, it would
not come and make good cheese. She
said she thought that when a girl got old
enough TO get married, they ought to know
how to make butter and cheese. Moreover
her health was failing, and she wanted me
to help her: and as have the most of the

We learn that the Milwaukee and Missis-

Milwaukee to Prairie du Chien on the
10th of April. 1t has been run, last year,
from Milwaukee to Madison, and one Of the
best and most important of tho Northwest
ern railroads. 1t will open an entire new
rout to the Upper Mississippi, and one which
will be much shorter from this city than any
other The Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad goes from Milwaukee to Janesvlle,
thence to Madison, thence through Riehland
City to Prairie du Chen, on the Mississippi,
about eighty miles above Dubuque. At
Janesville it connects with the Chicago, st.
Paul and Fond du Lac road, making a con
tinuous line from Cincinnati to Prairie du
Chen, Chicago and Janesville.
This line runs with a splendid line of
steamers on the Upper Mississippi, and pas
sengers on it will arrive at Prairie du Chen
or st. Paurs ten hours in advance of those
by the lower routes. Mr.. A. B. Elliot, for
merly of the Bellefontainc Railroad, is the
General agent and is said to be highly
qualified for his duties. A visit 10 Prairie

SOUTH CAROLINA MAIDS AND W1Dows

SOUTH CAROLINA MAIDS AND WIDOWS
OF THE OLDEN TME.-In turning over the
leaves of very delightful book, lately pub
lished, our eye Glanced to fall upon the fol-
lowing petition, signed by sixteen maids Of
Charleston, and presented to the Governor
of that province, on March l, 1898. We
publish it for the amusement of our fail
readers.-NasAviHe Banner.
To HIS Ercellency, Governor johnson;
The humble petition of all the Maids
whose names are underwritten-
WHEREAS, We the humble petitioners,
are at present in very melancholy disposi-
ton of mind, considering how all the bach.
elors are blindly captivated by widows and
our youthful charms thereby neglected. =
the consequence Of this our request is, that
your Exccllency will, for, the future, refuse tc
marry any young man till the maids are
provided for; or else to pay each of them a
fine for satisfaction for invading our H5er-
ties. and likewise fine to be laid on all
such bachelors as shall be married to wild
ows. The great disadvantage it is to us
maids, is, that the widows, by their forward
carriage do snap up the young men, having
the vanity to think their merits beyond ours
which is great imposition on us who ought
to have the preference.
This is humbly recommended to your Ex
cellency's consideration, and hope you vii
prevent any fuither insults
And we poor maids, as in duty bound vii
ever pray.
p. S. being the Oldest maid, and there
by most concerned, do think il proper to be
the messenger to your Excellency in behalf
of my fellow subscribers.

BLACK Teeth.

The cause of this disease in hogs, is close
confinement from the ground Its symp-
toms are these. The hog losses appetite,
becomes dizzy, and is weak in the hind legs
the teeth are black. Prevention and cure
may be effected by giving the animal q
clean dry pen, well strewcd with wood ash
es, and plenty dry turf for him to root over;
feed him well, too. In bad cases. removal
of the worst teeth, is thought good, but this
may be avoided by due care.-Ohio Far.

To SECURE Coop CRoP OF EARLY
LIMA BEANs.-1. Get a supply of good seed
noa0. 2. Take some thick sods, each about
eight inches square, and plant one or two
beans in each ON the dirt side. Place the
sods in a hot-bed, or in some other shelter
ed place, where they can have the sun and
be free from frost and wind. When the
frosts are past, remove the sods to the best
part of the garden, and give the plants the
best culture. 8. Pinch off the stems when
they are about six feet high. Thus you
may have good beans week or two earlier
than otherwise Ohio Former.

To secure Lateral Branches.

When a tree has been stripped of some
of its branches you may wish to restore
them. If so, take this mode, which has
been used with success: Cut out large
pieces Of bark on tho side which you wish
the new limbs to grow; do not cut out the
bark quite to the wood; in due time, the
space will bc covered with thin, tender
bark; into this bark, you may insert buds,
just as in small twig in nursery; thus
the bud will grow to branch, and the SYM
metry of the tree may be improved, and
the fruit may be changed, too.-Ohio Far.
