The Fruit Cabinet.

The Agricultural Department at
Washington, d. c., cotains plaster
casts of the fruit from all different
sections of the United States, arranged
so as TO show at glance the products
of each region and the specific changes
caused by transplantation. 1t has been
ascertained, by examination of these
specimens, that Northern apples, when
transplanted to more Southern locali-
ties enlarge in size, become more juicy
and luscious, and acquire a large per
centage OF saccharine matter. As a
drawback to these advantages, however.
they lose the quality of keeping over
the winter. Thus the Baldwin apple as
grown in Massachusetts,, is a small
fruit, but rs the tree is transferred
through Western New York, it becomes
larger and brighter in color, with an
improved taste. 1t however, cannot
be preserved till the next spring. The
Snow apple of Canada, and other varie-
ties exhibit a tendency to shrivel up
when planted south of Lake Erie. The
Russian apples, recently introduced
into the United States, it is thought,
should only be planted in the Northern
parts of this country. On the walls OF
the Fruit Cabinet are hung diagrams,
showing the character and habits of the
different insects that prey upon the
fruit and fruit trees of the United
States, and In glass cases are preserved
the native birds that feed upon these
destructive insects, which should be
protected by the kind treatment of the
fruit culturists.

A Rat Story From Canada.
From the London tont.) Free Press, Feb. IA

From the London lont.) Free Press, Feb. IA.
The most exciting rat chase we have
heard of for some time has been going
on in Sparks-street for some days past.
Mr.. Oxford was terribly annoyed by the
destructive little brutes, and had lost a
great deal of his stock by them, and
seeing a receipt for banishing the pests,
he tried it. The plan was simply to
spread some kind of drug on the
floor near their runs, where they would
get it on their feet. The drug burns
like caustic, and they lick it off and get
it into their mouths. Mr.. Oxford was
astonished to find that in short time
he hadn't rat about his premises. DIR.
Brown, across the road, however, found
that his stock had increased to an
alarming extent. Mr. Oxford gave him
his receipt for banishing them, and
drove the hungry little brutes into Mr.
Alfred Browns house. Mr.. Brown saw
with establishment the terrible plague
that had come on him, and sat up all
night to Kill the brutes. An idea OF
their numbers may be formed from the
fact that he killed sixteen one night in
his room. After he was tormented for
a couple of days, Mr.. Oxford gave him
the receipt, and he soon got rid OF
them, and they retired on Mr.. McCor-
mick's flour store. He has got rid of
them also, and Mr. Champness has now
got the whole of them. 1t is the inten.
ton of the parties who know the re-
eeipt to drive the rats into Lower
Town. A couple of weeks will be suf-
fcient, and they will cross the canal
some fine night and walk into the Me-
tropolitan, and their entry will be as
triumphant as that of the Germans into
Paris.

Hot Bricks-A Sleigh-LOad OF Ladies
on Fire.

The st. Joseph, Mo, Union says that
most singular accident, and one that
should serve as a warning, occurred one
day last week. Three ladies had ar
ranged sort of leap-year sleigh-ride.
stood at the gate. To insure comfort,
one of the ladies had provided two hot
bricks, carefully wrapt in cloths, which
were first deposited in the body of the
sleigh, after which they got in, and
away they went, laughing and jingling
over the snow.
In a very short time one of the ex-
cursionists remarked that she "smelled
smoke" but nothing was thought of it.
A few minutes later, at the corner of
Tenth and Messanie streets, the laiies
became alarmed and lifted the lap
robe, when the smoke rolled out in
dense volumes from the vicinity of
their pedal extremities, and almost in
stantly the flames burst forth.
One of the ladies leaped from the
sleigh, her feet caught in the robes, and
she was dragged for some little dis
lance, fortunately without sustaining
any material injury. Another, more
prudent, grasped the reins and stopped
the horse, when the flames were speed
lily subdued. The result was, three
dresses, three sets of skirts, &C., two
fine robes, and sleigh-ride completely
spoiled, and three estimable ladies
badly scared.

papers in which the bricks were
wrapped ignited, and of course the fire
was directly communicated with all in
fiammable material adjacent. The
ladies returned crest-fallen to theil
homes, wiser, if not happier, and ovel
a cup of Bohea, passed resolutions dis
countenancing hot bricks, and recon
mending gentlemen as superior com
forters.
