How TO CATCH RATs.-For catching
rats in a cheap and effective manner we
recommend the following: Cover COM
mon barrel with stiff, stout paper, tying
the edge around the barrel; place board
so that the rats may have easy access to
the top, sprinkle cheese parings or other
"feed" for therats on the paper for sever
al days until they begin to believe that
they have Alright to their daily rations
from this.sources Then place in the bot
tom Of the barrel piece of rock, about
slxsor seven inches high, filing with water
tillonly enough Of it projects above the wa
ter for one rat to lodge upon. Now re-
place the paper, first cutting cross in the
middle, and the first rat that comes on the
barrel top goes through into the water
and climbs on the rock. The paper comes
back to its place and the second rat follows
the first. Then begins a fight for the pos
session of the dry place on the stone, the
noise of which attracts the rest, who share
the same fate ~ Scientific Farmer.

HOW to Freak n Mule.

Harvey Riley, Esq, superintendent
OF the Government corral, Washing
ton, in his new book on the mule has
the following sensible suggestions
about breaking the mule:
Don't fight or abuse him. After you
have harnessed him, and he proves TO
be refractory, keep your own temper,
slack your reins, push him round,
backward and forward, not roughly;
then, If he will not do as you want,
tie him to a post and let him stand
there day or so without food or water.
Take care, also, that he does not lie
down, and be careful to have q person
to guard him, SO that he does not foul
in the harness. II he will not go AFTER
a day or two of this treatment, give
him one or two more of 1t, and my
word for it be will come to his senses
and do anything you want from that
time forward. = The only way to
keep mule from kicking you is to ham
die 1t a great deal when Young, and ac-
custom it to the ways and actions of
men. You must through kindness
convince 1t that you are not going to
harm or abuse Ii and you can do that
best by taking hold of il in gentle
manner every time it appears to be
frightened. Such treatment have
always found more effective than all
apply. The mule is peculiar in
his disIikes. Many of them, when first
harnessed, SO dislike a blind bride
that they will not work in 1t. When
you find this, let them stand for day
or so in the bIInders, and then take
them off, and in forty-nine cases out oil
fifty he will go at once.

nent applied to the hair under condi-
tions indicated should cause blackness,
an arsenical or cadmium compound
should produce yellowness. Now cad
MUM is, so far as metal can be, in
nocuons-the character of arsenic we
all know. II has the evil repute of be-
ing violent poison, and that character
1t merits. To exaggerate the poisonous
danger OF arsenic, whether taken inter-
nally or applied to the skin, or its
fumes breathed, would be difficult.
Yet, terrible to state, solutions of this
heads when the cherished golden
tint of hair is aimed at; and
worse still, 1t is sold to ladies
for private domestic use. Reck-
lessness could not well further go, even
In the behests of fashion. Many cases
of poisoning have already occurred
from this cause, the origin unsuspect-
ed. What appears to me strange is,
that cadmium compounds, though
comparatively harmless and yielding a
tint hardly less aureate than those
evolved by arsenic, have not common
", III at all, been employed, as hair
dyes. The theory OF this process Of
scribed under the head of dyeing black
by lead compounds. The sulphureted
hydrogen evolved reacts upon arsenic
and cadmium, producing yellow,
whereas 1t would have evolved black
with lead compound; in this is all the
difference.
And thus do we conclude the subject
of hair dyes. 1t is silly practice, and
Withal prejudicial. Even the most in
nocent applications known to this end
do some harm, and the use of arsenical
hair dyes is too terrible to think about.
Better remain as we are than have re-
course to these stupid Disbursements.
In respect TO the modern within of i'm
parting golden hues TO the brown hair
OF brunettes, 1t Is strongly to be advis-
ed that the brunette pay regard to the
unitles; let her get into a chlorine bath
and bleach her skin 10 match by all
means. If a negro can be bleached,
then a brunette a Jortiori. It would be
painful; but what lady heeds pain in
flcted at the beck of fashion,

A PLUoKY old fellow, whose son was
a student at a New England college,
spent the day with him and stopped TO
tea. When his cup WAS filed he seized
a bowl OF salt, which he supposed to
be sugar, and put the usual quantity in
his tea. Sly chances and suppressed
"snickering" led him to suspect that
something was wrong, but the old fell
low, who didn't like TO be laughed at,
worried It down, and putting on face
that was intended TO make every body
think that he liked his "dose Of salts,
he called for another cup, aud upon re-
ceiyipg It, said to the head snickerer:
'FYoung man, will You be kind enough
to pass me that bowl of salt ?" The
salt was passed, and amid the most
breathless silence, he dipped couple
of spoonfuls into his tea, stirred II up,
and tasted II with look of apparent
satisfaction. "Why, Mr.. said the
young man opposite him, "do you
drink salt In yoar tear" always"

great emphasis, and in his pleasantest

-nrneIfnltn Animals.

If onr domestic animals were gifted
with speech, what tales OF cruelty, OPP
preston and suffering they could I!
''Afanis inhumanity to marD Is great;
but 1t is nothing compared with the
misery which he either ignorantly or
wantonly inflicts upon dumb animals
and especially those which contribute
most to his comfort. Every one has, at
times, witnesses acts of the most heart
less cruelty towards the horse, the
mule, the OK, the cow, and other do
nestle animals, but It is only when
persons set themselves to watch offsn-
ders that they ascertain the real extent
to which the wrong is practiced. In
New York during the month of
April, through the 5exertions of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, convictions were
had in a dozen cases, and the fines
amounted to one hundEed. and forty
dollars. Some OF. the otfenses consisted
in driving horses with running sores,
working lame and sick.horses, DEPRIVE
ing animals of necessary food, packing
calves and sheep too closely In wagons,
etc. In Massachusetts, a more strin-
gent law upon the subject has just been
passed and signed by the Governor.
Every person who shall overdrive.
overwork, overload, torture, torment,
or fail to provide with proper food,
drink, and shelter. any animal,
is to be punished by a maxi
mum fine OF $50, and by an i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year.
The statute is so drawn as to include
not only the actual perpetrator of the
cruelty, but also the person who shall
authorize or permit the torture to be
inflicted. Animals unfit for work from
age. disease or physical disability are
also protected. The transportation of
cattle in an inhuman manner is forbid
den, and railroad companies are di-
rected. after keeping the animals con-
fined for twenty.eight hours. to unload
the stock for rest, water and feeding for
a period of i've hours. The necessity
for such law is sufficiently apparent
to the friends OF the brute creation,
who are now striving TO relieve the suf-
ferings OF dumb animals, and it is to
be hoped that their next appeal for aid
from the Pennsylvania Legislature
may not be listened to without ia
vorable response.

AbyssInian sIave.Beauties.
From Sir Samuel Bakers "7he Nile 7Fi6Ii
S-feF oC A bufeiliQD

FSoni Sir Samuel Bakers "7Re Nile 7Fi6litu-
TfeS Of A6yLsintG-"
On my return to camp visited the
establishments of the various slave
merchants. These were arranged nm
der large tents formed of mating, and
contained many young girls of extreme
beauty, ranging from nine to seven
teen years OF age. These lovely cap
lives, of rich brown tint, with deli
cately formed features, and eyes like
those OF the gaZelle, were natives of the
Gala, on the borders of Abyssinfa,
from which country they were brought
by the Abyssinian traders, to be sold
for the Turkish harems. Although
beautiful, these girls are useless for
hard labor; they quickly fade away and
die unless kindly treated. They are
the Veuuses of that country, and not
only are their faces and figures perfec-
ton, but they become extremely at
tached to those who show them kind
ness, and they make good and faithful
wives. There is something peculiarly
captivating in the naturel grace and
softness of these young beauties, whose
hearts quickly respond to those warm
er feelings OF love that are seldom
known among the sterner and coarser
tribes. Their forms are are peculiarly
elegant and graceful, the hands and
feet are exquisitely delicate, the nose is
generally slightly aquiline, the nos
trils largely and finely shaped; the
hair is black and glossy, reaching about
the middle of the back, but rather
coarse in texture. These girls, though
natives of Gala, invariably call them
selves Abyssinians, and are generally
known under that denomination. They
are exceedingly proud and high spirit
ed, and remarkably quick at learning.
AT Heartburn several of the Europeans,
of high standing, have married these
charming ladies', who have invariably
rewarded their husbands by great al
fiction and devotion. The price OF one
of these beauties of nature at GallRbat
was from twenty to forty dollars.
