approached drawing car containing the efhgy
OF witch, and surrounded by fairies carrying
lorg spears. A magic circle was formed, and
the presiding elf tossed the efigy into the
flames, after which the numerous company
vigorously danced Scotch reels to the strains Of

To DANISH RATS.- correspondent OF the
Country Gentleman says that way to Danish
rats is, plant a>phedel near the barn or stable
where they are, or put some III their holes
Rats have such az aversion to this plant that
they will quit the premises where it is. If they
are 10 drains or in cellars, scatter Sulphate OF
iron (copperas) in their ruus. The copperas
should not be dissolved 1t is our best and
cheapest disntectant. The sulphuric acid burns
their feet, and they leave in short time with
out dying. This viii be appreciated By every
housekeepcr that has had to endure the stencil
of a dead rat.
