eyes and nostrils, and then wiped him
off. The spectators by this time were

burst out into loud peals, in which Jake

tone ofatt1e pests of the farmer israts.
To keep them within endurable bounds
is somewhata difficult matter, for a rat
is as cunning as a fox, anduas hard to
catch; but there is suehass thing as work
ing strategy on it. A rat never digs a
hole unless it hasisome projectionto be-
gin with; say a stone, ,la1sticl of wood,
or anything else that makes aud anglo
with the ground; cellar wall it likes
BEST. If a rat is chased in cellar, or
other room, twill run round by the
wall, and is decidedly averse to leay-
ing it. From this habit we have a hint
how to oht-geHeraI It The common
steel-trap is the best article for the ptlr-
pose. Stand a barrel or box, Iorpther
article, within four inches Of the wall,
and IN that open space set the trap,
without anything to hide it. The rat,
in following the walES will go into the
trap rather than 60 round the barrel. Z
When it IS caught smoke the trap with
piece of burning paper, shift your bar
rel to another place, and set the trap as
before. ,sfi97ossis

Hair VlgOL J,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
/, natural Vitality and CqI31r'. 81

0{oss and freshness Of youth. INN
hair is thiekehed, falling hair checked,
and badness often, thoughnot always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
tile hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, OF the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be-
q saved iby this application, and stimu-u
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of foaling the hair with pasty sedl-
lEment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling Oh, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which Is often so un-
.cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING,
81 nething else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
