I WHEN visiting the patients
in a Canadian Hospital a num-
ber of years since, Rev. Mr..
Hendrix discovered therein a
man who appeared to be per-
fectly demented, but otherwise
in good health. lnquiring IN.
to the cause of his malady, he
was informed that it was occa.
stoned by depression of the
skull upon the brain, by blow
from the falling limb oil a tree.
Procu ring surgical aid, Mr..
Hendrix caused the depressed
skull to be raised 10 its natural
position, when the patient ut
tered the concluding parts of q
sentence that he had begun to
address to his son, with whom,
fourteen years before, he was
splitting rails under the tree
where he received the injury
that deprived him Of his senses:
"Pnt in the --- wedge"
A similar thing is recorded
OF an English officer, who was
struck on the head with a piece
of a shell, in the naval action
of Trafalgar. He was giving
an order to his men at the time,
and stopped right in the middle
oft and knew nothing until he
was operated upon some years
afterward, when he instantly
began where he had left off in
his order and finished it. Al
ter thai his mind was lully re-
stored.

THE man l call sectarian is
the man who is not contented
with the street but is always
throwing stones or mud st
number two; who is not con.
tent with his own wife and fam.
lily, but talks and gossips about
another mans family. Give
me the man who kas honest;
earnest convictions about his
own church and I extend to
him the right hand of fellow

all you can for il; bat try and

How to Drive Rats Away
Without POlsOil.

we Know OF inree methods:
First, the old French plan; this
is followed chiefly in Paris, by
men . who make 1t special
business. They take q deep
tub with water on the bottom
and a little elevation in the
middle like an island, on which
is only place for just one rat
10 sit on. The top Is covered
and has a balance valve, open
ing downward. On the middle
of this valve a piece of fried
pork or cheese, is placed, and
when the rat walks on to get
the cheese the valve goes
down, drops the rat into the
water and moves back INTO
position. A road is made from
the rat hole to the top of the
tub by means OF pieces OF
oardsrubbed with cheese, SO
asao make the alk'attractive
Tor the rats. In the course of
the night some ten, twenty or
even more rats may 60 down,
and it the island was not there
they would be found most all
alive in the morning quietly
swimming around; but the pro.
vision Of the little island saves
the trouble of killing them, be-
cause their egotistic instinct
for preservation causes them
to fight Tor the exclusive pos
session Of the island on which
in the morning, the strongest
lis found in solitary possession
all the others being killed and
drowned around him. Second,
the New York plan invented
by one OF our friends. The
foor near the rat.hoIeis cover
ed by a thin layer Of a most
causlic' potassa. When the
rats walk on this it makes their
ieet scre; they lick them with
their tongues, which makes
their mouth sore, and the re-
lsull Is that they shun this To-
cality-not alone, but appear
TO tell all the rats in the neigh
borhood about it, and eventu
ally the house is entirely aban-
doned by rats, notwithstanding
the houses around may be full
of rats. Third, the Dutch
method. This is said TO be
used successfully in Holland;
we have, howeve, never tried
it. A number of rats are left
to themselves in a very large
trap or cage with no food
whatever. Their craving hun
ger will cause them TO fight,
and the weakest will be eaten
by the strongest. After a shor.
time The Eght Is renewed, and
next weakest is the victim: -
and so 1t goes, ON till one
strong rat is lett When this
has eaten the last remains OF
lany one of the rest it is sci
loose; the animal has Eow &C.
Eqllired such a taste Tor rat
flesh that he is the terror oI
ratdom, going around seeking
what rat he may devour. In
an incredibly short time the
premises are abandoned bv all
other rats, which will not come
buck before the cannibal raj
has left or is dead Ed.

The Sacramento Union labors
through a long editorial to prove that
Banks reason for opposing Graut is
that tina latter ''snubbed him during
the war" This is the hight OF non
sense. Banks ardently supported
Grant in 1868. which he certainly
would not have dono had there existed
the personal reason for opposition
which the Union now alleges his op
position to be based upon. Banks is
a man Of brains, a life long supporter
of Republican principles, and enjoys .
we'll earned reputation for honesty,
and we are bound, in candor, to take
as the true reason for his refusing to
support Grant what he himself alleges
the departure of his administration
from Republican principles. and his
entire failure to carry out pledges OF
reform and economy made at the time
of his election.

party is responsible for it. Much OF
this land-many millions Of acres Of
