H0W TO Drive Rats Away Without
Poison,

From the Manufacturer and Builder
We know Of three methods: First, the
old French planJ this is followed chiefly
in Paris by men who make it a special
business. They take a deep tub, with
water in the bottom, and little eleva.
ton in the middle ike an island, on
which is only place for Just one rat to
sit. The top is cOyered and has large
belance valve, opening downward On
the middle of this valve piece of fried
pork or cheese is placed, and when the
rat walks on II to get the cheese the
valve goes down, drops the rat into the
yater, and moYes back in position. A
road is made from the rat-hole 10 the top
ofthe t9b by means Of pieces of board
Tubhed with cheese, so as to make the
walk attractive for the rats. In the
course Of a night some ten, twenty or
even more rats may go down, and
if the island was not there, they
would be found most all alive ~ the
morning quietly swimming round, but
the proyision of the little island saves
the irQHblp Of killing them, because their
egotistiC instinct Tor PRESENTATION causes
them to fight for the exclusive posses

morning, the strongest rat is found in

TWELVE or fifteen years ago a sensa.
ton was created in New York city by
the elopement Of the daughter of mil
lionaire with her fathers coachman. The
woman was beautiful, refined, accom-
plished and the occupant of high so
cial position. The man, John Dean
seems to have been person wholly un
worthy of the love of any good woman
of any rank or condition. The sensa
ton died away and was forgotten, but
public attention is now attracted to the
subject again by most tragic ending oi
the drama which began so long ago with
a love passage. The woman was found
night or two ago in negro hovel in
Washington, dead. She was murdered
while in a drunken tit, by SOME COM
panion in her debauch. She had fallen
to the very lowest depths before her end
came, and long career OF infamy had
blotted from her face all traces of her
former beauty. aas

ENGLISH ARIsToCRACY.

A London letter to the Cincinnati

A great deal OF the licentiousness Of
aristocratic families arises from the
false position in which the young lords
are placed during all the earlier part of
their lives, while waiting to enter on
their estates and occupation They
must be idle. 1t is unconventional for
them to engage in any business or pro-
fession. Just in the proportion tsat
they are clever and vigorous there is

Young lord of great deal Of wit and

practical jokes on anybody, and when
he had nothing else to do, would 90
around the village after midnight ring

young man physically, and on one oc
casion, when he was passing country
gentleman's house, he stopped to speak
to the ostler. Observing that the ostler
was strong fellow the idea struck him
that he would like to have a pugilistic
encounter with him. Ny good fellow,

the stable yard, they went for

AGooD JoKE.-It ia related Of Fred
erick the Great, of Prussia, that in 60
ing through the reception room Of his
palace at Sans Souci, he encountered a
workman, who busted himself to get
on top of a ladder to take down a clock
from the wall, but owing to the smooth
ness of the marble floor the ladder
could not be kept firm. "What art
thou doing here?" inquired the King.
81 am matchmaker" answered the
workman, sand have received orders
from the superintendent Of tho palace
to repair this clock have been trying
to take 1t down, but cannot succeed, as
the ladder does not stand firm" "As.
cend the ladder" said the King, sand
| will hold it while you are at work. "
This done, the workman departed with
the clock. On the following morning
the King was informed that the CLOCK
had been stolen. No sooner had hi;
Majesty heard this than he found. to
his chagrin, that instead, as he be,
lieved, of assisting q matchmaker, he
had been made the dupe Of q thief
The King at once issued an order,
saying: "Let him 60; have been al
accomplice to the theft"
