To KEEP BLANKETS IN SUMMER.-Spread a
large coarse sheet the floor. Fold up the
blankets and place them on it, having sprink killed.
between every fold either shreds of tobacco or
bits of camphor. Shavings of Russia leather are
also . remedy against moths. Having piled the
blankets smoothly, put the remainder of the
sheet around them and over them, and pin up
tightly in various places. Then lay the whole
in large chest or dark closet. Let them re-
main unopened during the summer. In the au-
tumn, after the weather is all over, have the
blankets brought down on a fine, dry day, aud
hang them out on line to dispel the tobacco
smell, if that was the article used as preserva-
tive.

To GET RID OF RATs.-What is called "the
Dutch way" with rats is this: A number of rats
are left to themselves in q very large trap or
cage, with no food whatever. Their craving
hunger will cause them to fight, and the weak
est will be eaten by the strongest. After short
time the fight is renewed, and the next weakest
Is the victim, and SO it goes on until one strong
rat is left. When this one has eaten the last
remains of the others it is let loose. The animal
has now acquired such taste for rat flesh that
ing 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.-PrGirie Farmer.

WATER IN THE EARs.-A warning to those
about to indulge in sea bathing is given in the
Medical Record by DR.. Sexton, Of tho N. Y. Ear
lnfirmary. He finds salt water to be peculiarly
irritating to the delicate membrane of the Tuner
ear, while cold fresh water may be equally inju-
rious. Every year hundreds of people are sent
to the infirmary for treatment whose trouble has
arisen from getting water into their ears while
bathing, or from catching cold in the ears at such
times. He recommends, as q precaution, the
plugging of the ears with cotton before entering
the water, particularly in surf bathing.
