Rat-Hunting Snakes.

Some months ago, says The Hamilton (Ont)
Spectator, a gentleman from Dulnfries paid a
visit to a friend of his in the township of Bev.
erly, a Mr.. Henry, and remained with him
several days. During his visit the Dumfries
gentleman complalnened that his house was
literally filled with rats and mice. He had
tried every device to get rid OF thom and all
had failed. Alr. Henry, who is as ingenious
as he is fond of sport, declared that he would
battle the rats out of his friends cellar in less
than no time, TO use his own expression. The
next day the two gentleman drove to the gen.
tlemans house in Dumfries. Mr.. Henry took
with him common quartergross match box

DumfIies gentleman, feeling that his friend

how silly this was by taking the snake upon

Gifted with great intelligence and energy, he
educated himself and entered journalism. In
1S4S he came to America, where he gave les
sons in German, but finally realized some
money by buying load of damaged goods
and selling them at a heavy profit. With
this capital he returned to London in 1858,
and founded several newspapers; but six
years aiterward he went to Berlin, where he
was for seven years agent of an English in
surance company In 1864, however, Strous-
berg began to think of improving his fortunes,
and having made acquaintance at the Brit

some English capitalists, with whom he con

established a gigantic machine factory; al

Berlin he built entire new quarters; IN Prus

the splendid domain Of Zbirow, where he es-

WHAT MAKES WATER HARD?-But, though
insoluble In pure water, carbonate of lime is
slightly soluble in water which is already
charged with carbonic acid; and as all rain
water brings down carbonic acid from the
air, il is capable of taking up carbonate OF
lime from the soils and rocks through which
it filters; and it thus happens that all springs
and rivers that rise in localities in which
there is my kind of calcaIeous rock become
more or less charged with carbonate of lime
kept in solution by an excess of carbonic
acid. This is what gives the peculiar char
acter 10 water which ls known as hardness; =

The best time to cut hard wood for dura.
bility is early winter before the sap has a
thought OF moving. December Is far better
than February; and November or even Octo
Der, often better than the latter During the
latter part Of the growing season those sub

enrich the sap, are produced in the wood.

Poor Richard

Some twenty years since Rev. DR.. Hawks
rector of Calvary church, New York, was
appointed historian to the Protestant Episco,
pal church in this country by the general
convention of the church. In his official ca
pacity Dr. Hawks had access to the papers Of
the deceased bishops of the church, and in
the journal or diary of Bishop White, of
Pennsylvania, he found the following bit OF
curious private history, which TIE Hartford
Couraat publishes he having impaired it to
n resident of that city:
The good bishop, while on a visitation, not
long after the close of the Revolutionary war,
stopped at tavern in a remote country par
Ish About midnight he was awakened by a
loud and excited conversation in the next
room, which was separated from his by thin
board partition Not wishing to overhear a
private conversation, the bishop c0ntrived to
inform his neighbors of his presence. The
voices sunk into whisper, but soon broke
out again under violent excitement The
bishop cOughed again, but was obliged to
listen to family quarrel, the cause and sub
stance of which was in effect as follows: The
parties in dispute were father and son, and
both were large real,estate holders. 1t ap-
peared that on the breaking out of the Revo.
luuonary war, the two had decided each to
the other all the property standing IN his
name, with the understanding that the deeds
were to be surrendered at the close of the
war. The son was to go to England as roy.
alist, the father to remaiff and support the
popular cause, in this way each hoping to
escape loss The war had now been closed
for some time. The son had returned from
England, where he had received royal grant
of land for his loyalty, and had met his father
by appointment to demand the restitution OF
the property, and hence the quarrel. The
next morning Bishop White asked the land
lord of the hotel the names of the two gentle
men, and was informed that they were Ben
jamin Franklin and his son!

HEART DISEASE AND DEATH.

AS the science of medicine advances 1t goes
backward, paradoxical as II may seem. II
is only OF late years, comparatively, that
medical mon and chemists have put forth all
their efforts 10 discover some substance which
would second the effort to cure by producing
painlessness. An9eslhetics, narcotics and

which were placed the various properties
which gradually came to light. The impor

pain, which IN IS per cent. of the cases causes
death. If the pain can be removed then the

THE EXISTENCE OF MORPHINE,
aud its peculiar properties developed from
OPIUM, has long been known, but being in
itself strong poison, It could only be en-.
ployed in doses which often were insufficient
TO allay pain. We have lately had several
cases of morphine poisoning by physicians
in good standing, and showing that even TO
this day its use Is often ignorantly abused.
