To Destroy Ants.

/. Pour. copiously, hot water, as near the
boiling point as possible, down their burrows
and over their hills, and repeat the operation
several times.
.. Entrap the ants by means of narrow
sheets of stiff paper or strips of board, covered
with some sweet sticky substance; the ants
are attracted by the sweets, and sticking fast,
can be destroyed as often as a sufficient num-
Der are entrapped.
,. Lay fresh bones around their haunts !;
they will leave everything else to attack these,
and when thus accumulated, can be dipped
into hot water.
L. Pour two or three spoontuls OF coal oil
into their holes, and they will abandon the
nest
j. Bury a few slices of onions in their nests,
and they viii abandon them Western Rural.
GIRDIING TREES TO PRODUCE FRUITFUL-
NESS Think it is not generally known that
girdling apple trees will cause truit.ulness.
If so, the people here, in Massachusetts, know
ing the fact, have been blind to their own IN
tcrest, to see hundreds of acres OF orcharding
barren of fruit for the last eight or ten years,
with apples at $500 per barrel.
Last Fall friend from ncighboring town
called at my place, and being much interest
ed in fruit, the conversation turned in that
direction. In commenting upon the failure
of orchards, he gave me an account Of his ex-
periments, in small way, during the last
year.
In the Spring of 1869, his orchard. which
is a young one, was full of bloom and prom
ised rich harvest. a gentleman, who hap
pened to be stopping with him at the time
told him that If he would have crop Of ap-
pies he must girdle his trees. The idea seemed
prepostcrous, and the owner urged that to
girdle them would kill the trees. But the
gentleman insisted that that was the only
way by which h could get crop. and that
he would pay for al! the trees that were in
jured by the operation. But my friend being
cautious man, and not daring to venture far
on untried ground, simply girded a branch
or two here and there, which he thought
might be cut away il case the girdling proved
fatal. But to his surprise, the glrdled limbs
Immediately commenced forming new bark
where the old one had been removed. The
blossoms on those branches set fruit and in
Autumn bent under the weight of luscious
apples, while those trees and branches not
girdled scarcely produced enough fruit to pay
tor picking.
He also tried the experiment in the garden
OF one OF his neighbors, which he was cult
waiting In the centre Of the garden was
large tree winch the owner desired him TO re-
move TO the woodpile. he tree had for
years loaded itself with bloom. but never with
apples and had been suffered to remain, hop
Ing that the next year it might prove fruitful.
My friend urged that il might have one more
trial The tree was girdcd and allowed 10
stand. The result va, sufficient 10 satisfy the
heart Of any novice; the branches bent TO the
ground with the weight of fruit-IJrtlell-

Pig pens and nuisances of that class
may ~ deprived of their nauseous
efiluvia by sprinkling the pens occa-
sionally with copperas. A quarter OF
pound Of copperas, reduced to fine
powder, applied every other day, will
remove all bad smell from a pen in
the hottest of weather. 1t will be
found equally efficacious for Cess
pools, butchers shambles and such
places rs contaminate the air with
their Objectionable presence. Dry
earth, in which clay is largely pre-
dominant, is equally efficacious ap-
Piled in quantities sufficient to absorb
all the moisture of the mass. The
dust from the public roads is the best
form to apply it. The mass should be
kept under cover, as on getting wet it
loses its disenfectant properties unless
a large quantity of dry earth has been
used. A quarter Of pound of chic
ride of lime, costing obOut ten cents,
placed i'm jug with a gallon of wa
ter, and kept near places that require
to be occasionally purified, will amply
repay the cost and trouble. A tea
cup full daily, poured Oh fetid masses,
will deprive them of volatile effiuvia.

Good Doctrine.

Have you enemies? Go strait on
and mind them not. If they block
your path, walk around them. A
man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything-he is made OF
that kind of material which is SO cast.
" worked that every one has hand
in it. A sterling character-nne who
thinks-is always sure to have enc
mics. They are as necessary to him
as fresh air-they keep him alive and
active. A celebrated character who
was surrounded by enemies, used to
remark: "They are sparks which If
YOU do not blow will go out them
Selves" Let this be your feeling,
while cndeavoring to live down the
scandal of those who are bitter enc
mics against you. IfyOu stop to dis
pute, you do but as they desire, and
open way for more abuse. Let the
poor fellows talk--there will be re-
action if you perform but your duty,
and hundreds who were once alien
ated from you will floch to you and
acknowledge their error.

About sixty years ago, PLincas Adj
ans enlisted as private in a regl-
ment of militia, then on duty in Eng
land. He soon became disguised
with his position, and shortly after
his enlistment applied for discharge
on account of an liberated wound in
his arm; this was refused h.m, be-
cause the wound was of his own con-
trivance. He had then similar mall
ady on his leg. He purpOsely fell
down a fight of stone steps, and was
taken up with the blood oozing from
his ears. After this he told the doctor
that he thought he was growing deaf.
Are you very deaf?" asked his at
tendant i'm a whisper, and he imprn-
IDENTIFY answered "Very deaf From
that time, he was held to be a confirm

without producing any sensible effect
and strong electrical currents seemed
to provoke no bodily sensation.
Snuff never made him so much as

only made his eyes water. 1t was
then resolved ITO try ni.rous-oxide
gas. The tube was applied to the
mans mouth; but his teeth, were so
fast locked, that no power could open
them. Then, by compression of the
mouth and nostril, he was compelled
to breathe nothing but the gas, when
bis pulse showed that he was quitting
life, and the experimentalists had to
desist. lie continued in the condition
of corpse; his limbs fell by their
own weight; his eyes were closed ;
and he paid no attention to pins
thrust under his finger-nails. In this
hapless condition it was thought adj
yisable to resort TO the desperate rem
edy of trepanAing. They thought his

head examined during all which the
Young fellow (who was but eighteen)

He was held, indeed, to be at the

A discussion has recently taken
place in Boston in reference to the
correct phraseolog, of the declaration
of independence. The printed ora
ton of Mr.. William Everett deliver
ed in Boston on July 4, 1870, gives
"all men arc born free aud equal as
the leading principle of The famous
Declaration, whereas that instrument
reads, call men are created equal"
The orator, however, asserts that In
his spoken Grafton he made use of the
correct sentence. This mistake in the
printed copy of the Grafton has caused
an investigation into the history of
the sentiment, from which it appears
that the Virginia Bill of Rights, drawn
up by George Mason and adopted on
June IL, 1776, contains the phrase s'all
men are by nature equally free and in
DEPENDENT In Jefferson's first draft
of the Declaration the sentence read
"all men are created equal and inde-
pendent" The Declaration of INDIE
pendence of the following July reads
"all men are created equal"
The declaration of rights of the in
habitants of Pennsylvania, passed by
a convention, sitting from July 10, to
September %, 1776, reads, Gail men
are born free and equal" though the
words as originally reported By the
committee were, call men are born
equally free and, independent" The
Bill of Rights of Massachusetts,, drawn
up by John Adams in 1779, reads call
men are born equally free and indie
pendent" From these authorities it
seems that George Mason's draft OF
the Virginia Bill of Rights was the
common source from which all the
subsequent expressions were obtain
cd. The principle, however, can be
traced to much earlier writers, includ-
ing Locke and Sidney, and according
to Sir Robert Filmer, to Cardinal Bel
larmin, who lived between 1872 and
1921.
