A Car Incident.

How hot and dusty it is. How dirty
and grimy everybody looks. How cross
and unobliging and disgraceful every
body feels. The cars are crowded and
everybody is wishing everybody else was
out of the way. The woman in front of
me has dropped her shawl on the floor.
She is not young nor handsome, but
she is a woman. Her face has harsh
forbidding expression, but withal,
think / can see tender lines about the
mouth. 1t is face that has seen trouble,
Poor woman, perhaps she has raised.
eleven children. And now she has them
with their husbands and wives, to sup
port. No wonder she looks tired and
worn and repellen If she were young
and pretty as she was thirty years ago, a
dozen men would spring forward to
snatch her shawl from the dusty floor ana
and DOW themselves crooked handing it
to her. Now we look at it, and feel too
dusty even to tell her where it Is. A
commercial trave.er walks dewn the
aisle and steps carefully over it. A wo-
man goes down the other way and
thoughtlessly steps on it. I feel ashamed
of myself and pity the poor homely wom-
an. With an effsrt rise from my seat,
l stoop to pick up the neglected shawl.

mother could see that smile, Madam.
permit me; your shawl
Istopped right there. For as picked
up the neglected shawl, out OF Its
voluminous folds fell humping and rat
tling to the floor a paper bag, badly
fractured, full of crackers, tin can, some
remnants of an ancient luneh, a six inch
bologna, bit off at one end. and a bottle
of milk. the latter uncorking itself as il
fell. The poor neglected woman did not
seem to be transported with gratitude fol-
my attention. She snatched the shawl
awav from me and said, with apparent
vexation:
"Therc now, drat yn; look at ye, what
you've done. Why can't ye mind yer own
business and leave other peoples things
alone2"
A ripple of subdued hilarity passed
through the car, and resumed my seat
fully resolved that if the most extrava-
gantly lovely and loving girl that ever
blessed this world of ugly men, shoulo
come into that car and her head should
fall off her shoulders and drop into my
lap, | would kick it savagely out of the
window and snarl.

This one met the lady with demonstra-

her fathers house. and that night the dog
went distance of seven miles to farm

been sent (the latter was blind, but kept
as being as old favorite). In the morn

saw, not only the dog which had given
her such glad reception the day pre-
viously, bur also the old blind one, which
had evidently been brought by the other
dog to welcome her. When the second

A Sermon to Girls ON Cooking.

Cookiug-c classes have been popular
among fashion able young ladies of late
years; but there is no cooking class which
quite equals in its opportunity for excel
lent information that which you may
lind at home. Presuming that / am
talking to girl who has just left school,
| advise you to make use of your leisure
in taking lessons from your mother.
There is an absolutely splendid feeling
| of independence in knowing how to make
perfectly light, sweet, substantial bread.
Then try your hand at biscuits, mullins,
corn bread, toast, and all the different
forms into which bread -stuffs may be
blended. Toast seems simple thing
enough, but is frequently so i'll made
that it does not deserve the name. Cruel,
a necessity of the sick-room, is often
hopeless mystery to women who have no
idea of how it is evolved from the raw
material. After you have mastered the
bread question, try meats and vegeta-

Any girl who can comprehend an equa-
ton, or formulate syllogism, can over
come the difficulties which beset her when
learning to cook. Lucent sYrups, golden
cakes, delicately-browned bread, qulVer

set of meterial things gloriiied, because
made for loves sake, and for the good of
ones dear ones are fit expressions for my
woman. The charm of this accomplish
ments lies in the fact that it imparts to
its owner gratifying sense of power; it
bestows on her, too, the power of blessing
and resting those she loves best. Where
ever the cook goes she takes her welcome
along. One may tire of the sweetest

DRIVING RATS AWAY WITHOUT POISON.

We know of three methods. First. the
old French plan. This is followed, chiefly
in Paris. by men who make it a special bust
ness. They take O deep tub, with water on
the bottom and a little elevation in the mid
die like an island. on which is only a place
for lust one rat to sit ON. This trap is COW
cred. and has a large balance valve opening
downward. On the middle OF this valve .
piece of fried pork or cheese is placed, and
when the rat walks on to it to get the
cheese the valve goes down. drops the rat
into the water. and moves back in position.
Aroad is made from the rat hole to the top
of the tub by of pieces of board
rubbed with cheese, so as to make the walk
more attractive for the rats. In the course
of the night some ten. twenty, or even more
rats may go down, and il the island was not
there they would be found most all alive in
the morning, quietly swimming around
but the provision of the little island saves
the trouble of killing them, because their
egotistic instinct Of preservation causes
them to fight for the exclusive possession
of the island, on which in the morning the
strongest rat is found in solitary possession
all the others being killed and drowned
around him. Second, the New York plan,
invented by one of the Friends. The floor
near the rat-hole is covered with q thin
LAYER of the most caustic POTASH. When
the rats walk Or this it makes their feet
sore these they :Ick with their tongues,
which makes their mouth sore, and the re-
suit is that they shun the locality, not alone,
but appear TO tell all the rats in the neighbor-
hood about it, and eventually the house is
entirely abandoned by them, notwithstand-
ing the houses around are full of rats.
Third. the Dutch method. This is said to
be used successfully in Holland. We have,
however, never tried it. A number of rats
left to themselves in a very large trap OF
cage, with no food whatever. Their crav-
ing hunger will cause them to fight, and
the weakest will be eaten by the strongest.
After a short time the fight is renewed, and
the next weakest is the victim, and SO it
goes on till one strong rat is left. When
this one has eaten the last remains of the
Others IL is set loose. The animal has now
acquired such a taste for rat flesh that he
is the terror of all rntdom, going about
seeking what rat he may devour. In an
incredibly short time the premises are
abandoned by all other rats, which will
not come back before the cannibal rat has
left or died. -ErchdRge.
