A Successful Rat Trap.

The kitchen and storeroom of s
hotel in this city have been infested
by rats, and it became evident also
that a hogshead in which swill was
kept furnished the rodents with an
opportunity to fill their stomachs
when other sources failed. Tues.
day evening this hogshead was al
most entirely emptied, little food
being left in the bottom to serve as
bait. All the holes were stopped
up, and when the mammoth trap
was finally set 1t was so arranged
that as many rats could enter as
desired, but there was no means of
escape. A few minutes after it was
set three or four rats sprang into
it, and not finding much food, be-
gan fighting for what there was.
Their squealing attracted more rats,
and when the trap was examined
before midnight it presented a SIN
gular spectacle, being apparently
about one-fourth filled with the
pests-little rats and big ones, gray
headed fellows, and others that had
scarcely sprouted their mustaches
all squirming, scratching, squeal-
ing and biting. Soon afterward
they were killed, when the number
disposed of proved to be che hun
dred and six Sacramento Record

Honesty before Etiquette.

There are those who nurse theiI
tastes up to so fine a point that
moral worth may be at any time
eclipsed by badly fitting garments
or shoes, or a violation of gram
mar, spelling or etiquette. This is
sheer folly, as one mustineeds take
leave of the world if he would
avoid these little unpieasantne sses.
If the perpetrator have but an up
right soul and an honest heart, we
would rather take him or her by
the hand than thousands whose
dress, conversation and manners
are oracularly styled faultless. or
course one prefers great hearted
ness and refinement combined; but
if to gain the latter the former must
be dispensed with, it is IN our opln-
ion too great sacrifice. We have
seen people whose teeth were quite
set on edge by the chance mlspro-
nunciation of q word, to whom an
act of downright immortality would
be far less distasteful; in fact would
be winked at. 1t is unnecessary to
pronounce a verdict on such surface
people. Let them keep on skim
ming life till it be thinned to suit
their taste.

TO the Four Winds-Heaven Help
Them,

Five weeping children were left
orphans the other day by the death
of their mother, widow who lived
on Prospect street. The father
was killed at one of the depots
about two years ago, and since then
the mother has kept the family to-
gether by hard days work. Lack
Of food, exposure and worry
brought on an illness which termi-
minated fatally, and the children
huddled together in a corner of the
room. feeling awed and frightened,
but yet unable to realize that death
had made them waits. When the
remains had been sent away to the
potter's field a dozen. women gath

"I'll take one of the poor things,
though I've four children of my
own" said one of the women.
"And I'll take another"
"And Pll take one"
"And SO will l."
Then there was the baby-a tod
ding boy, who had been rocked to
sleep every night of his life, and
whose big blue eyes were full of
tears as he shrunk behind his sis
ters to escape observation. As
none OF the poor women seemed pre-
pared to take so young a child, a
girl not over ten years old, dressed
little better than other children
there, crept into the group, reached
out for the babe, patted his white
head, kissed him and said:
Il will take this one. l have no
brother, and ma and pa will let me
keep him. He can sleep in my
trundle bed, play with my doll, and
they may put all the Christmas
presents into his stocking" And
the girl ran around the corner ard
returned with her mother, who
sanctioned all she had said. Come,
bubhy-you re mine now," called
the girl, and he laughed as she put
her arms around him and tried to
lift him up.
By and by a woman said: "Chil-
dren, you have neither father, moth
err nor home. You must be divided
up or go to the poorhouse. Kiss
each other, poor orphans, and all

Grains Of Gold.

The agitation of thought is the
beginning of truth.
None have less praise than those
who hunt most after it.
The best way to condemn bad
traits is practicing good ones.
The main difference between men
insignificant and great is energy.
A quarrel is, nine times out OF
ten, merely the fermentation Of a
misunderstanding.
A lady describing an ill-natured
man says he never smiles but what
he feels ashamed of it.
Some write, talk and think so
much about vice and virtue that
they have no time to practice either.
When the world has once got
hold of lie it is astonishing how
hard it is to get it out of the world.
We pass our lives in regretting
the past, complaining of the pres
ent and INDUCING false hopes of
the future.
Prefer sense to wit; never seek
to be diverting without being use
full; let no jest intrude upon good
manners.

How to Break Of Bad Habits.

Understand the reason, and al
the reasons, why the habit is inju-
rious. Study the subject until
there Is no longer doubt in your
mind. Avoid the places, the per
sons, the thoughts that lead to
temptation. Keep busy; idleness
is the strength of bad habits. Do
not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once,
twice, q thousand times. That on
ly shows how much need there is
for you to strive. When you have
broken your resolution just think
the matter over, and endeavor to
understand why it is you failed, so
that you may be on your guard
agains st recurrence of the same cir
Do not think it an
easy task you have undertaken. 1t
is folly to expect to break off q
habit in a day which may have
been gathering for ten years.

Xanthippe, the So-called Seeding
Wife.

One of the best abused women of
ancient times, because she was ira
duced by Plato, was Xanthippe, the
wife of Socrates. No one has been
more uniustly slandered. The great
! PHILOSOPHER was made illustrious
! and immortalized by the writings
of Xenophon land Plato, while his
wife's fair character received the
benefit of their maledictions, a lady
so little meriting such classic anath-
ema to be poured upon her defense
| less head. She was abused for do
ing what every good housewife
should do, and that was giving In
no unmeasured terms a piece OF
mind to lazy, ragged, barefooted
vagabond of a husband, who chose
to stroll the streets of Athens,
teaching pupils who never paid him
any tuition. and thus failed to sup
port his family. AS a mother Mrs.
Socrates proved herself all that her
children could desire. AS a wife
she not only labored and supported
herself and children, but she fed
her husband, and no doubt often
her vile slanderers, those famous
disciples of the great master. AS
woman, she ranks among the
ablest OF that period. In the pow
ers of conversation she eXcelled her
husband; in duty she was his supe-
rior; in propriety and virtue she
was more than his peer. Nothing
could have induced her to become
a welcome guest of the courtesan,
Aspasia. wife of Pericles. But
Socrates did not hesitate To drink
his wisdom from the unvirtuous
lips of this celebrated woman, and
spend his evenings in feasting at
her board, while Xanthippe patched
his clothes and toiled to feed the
hungry mouths, for which stroll
ing spendthrift parent refused to
provide. The writings of Holy
Writ tell us that "he who fails to
provide for his household is worse
than an infidel." Did Socrates DO
this? Yet Plato tells us that he
bore with the scolding wife that he
might he enabled TO endure
the gibes of the rabble and the mis-
fortunes of life. Was not the neg
lect of his family. neglect of sim
pie common duty, just cause tor
the reproaches of a wronged wife?
However so calmly and like phi
losopher he may have met death, so |
meekly submitted to the laws of !
his country, and so sweetly expa-
tiated upon the immortality of the |
soul and true patriotism, cannot
refrain from condemping him for
robbing his family OF the time
which should have been given TO
them; for disturbing
thereby the peace of mind of his
wife; and for proving recreant to
AL the qualities Of a provident
and virtuous citizen;
failing to put in practice what he
preached to his disciples. The un
merited inventions of Plato are
bright Jewels to ornament the char
lcter of the hard working, pure and
rirtuous wife, the much abused

LADIES COLUMN.

Girls All Talk Alike.

Girls all talk alike about marry
ing, as though it were holiday, a
jubilee, a gladstone thing, a rose
without thorn, and so it is if it Is
all right, If they go about it as ra-
tional beings instead of merry
making children. 1t is a serious
thing to marry. 1t is life bust
ness. Therefore never do it in
haste; never run away to get mar
ried; never marry wealth and stand
ing, or fine person or manners, but
tor both, for the qualities of mind
and heart which make an honora-
bic man. Take time, think long
and well before you accept
any proposal. Consult your par
ents, then some judicious friend,
then your own judgment. Learn
all that is possible TO learn of your
proposed husband. When all doubts
have been removed, and not till
then, accept MIN.

a Novel Scare-crow.

A very successful plan has been
tried by placing in Mr.. Crows way
a number of grains with horse hair
run through them. He is bound
to swallow one, and his note OF
alarm is soop pounded. 1t is i'm
possible for him TO dislodge the
grain, and if be can be watched for
a sufficient length of time, he will
be seen to cut his throat by scratch
ing at il. His usual note is
changed, and 1 can assure you life
to him is such misery he would
even wish he were dead 1t has
been noticed that after the note of
alarm has been sounded all the
crows in the vicinity will leave that
field, and approach it no more that
season. 1t is a simple thing, yet
all who try it will find it s. success.

AND USEFUL IMPORTATION.
Farm Life-Its Practical and It's
Sentimental Sides.

Poets have sung the delights Of
the farmers life in strains so en-
chanting that one might wonder
why all the world has not forsaken
every other pursuit and betaken it.
self to the tilling OF the soil. But
the farmer himself, in the unshaded
bayfield,, or Flooding in the clayey
furrow at the tail of his pillow, with
freeholder's right sticking to each
boot, or bending with aching back
between the corn rows, or breathing
the winters storm in the perform
ance of imperative duties, looks at
his life from a different point OF
view. To him this life appears as
full of toll and care and evil chances
as that of any other toiler. And
true it is, the lite of an ordinary
farmer is hard, with too little to
soften it-too much of work, too
little of play. But as true is what
the poet sang so long ago: "Ihrice
happy are the husbandmen if they
could but see their blessings" for
lucy HdfC uNCJGu0SHCO DO1C IAeah
any others who by the sweat of the
brow earn their bread and the free
air of heaven to breathe and the
blessed privilege of daily COM
munion with nature.
1t is not easy for the farmer to
see any beauty in his enemies-the
meadows full of daisies, with which
he is forever fighting. or by which
he has been ANONYMOUSLY con-
quered; the encroaching ranks of
golden rods along the borders of
his fields, and the bristling bayo
nets of those Canadian invaders,
the thistles. How few farmers, or
other people for that matter, see in
the climbing bushes of the dawning
day, or the gorgeous painting of its
close, or in the perfect day itself,
anything but the foretelling of foul
or fair weather, or notice the ways
of any untamed bird or beast, ex-
cept that the crows come to pull
the corn, the hawks to catch the
chickens and the foxes to catch
the lambs and turkeys!- Scribner

D. We are too wasteful, know too
little how to economic, and have

Z. Too many of US prefer idle
ness to industry, and too few of US
know how to work and derive pleas
ure and profit from our labor
s. We spend too much time in
learning what is not useful and too
little in informing ourselves upon
the best method of promoting our
material prosperity.
8. We know too much of politics,
spend too much time and money as
politicians, and know too little
about political economy and the
science of stable and economical
successful public policy.
10. We are too superficial and
impatient, and lack the clear pur-
pose and persistent, patient appli-
cation necessary to permanent sue

IL. We depend too much upon

There's time in each life wben all things
seem cheerful,
When the sunbeams of love bid sadness
depart;
When the flowers of affection are fondly
blooming,
When the smile of true friendship sheds its
beams DER the heart.
There's time when the future with happi
ness il blending,
AS the first rays of sunlight brighten the
skies,
And the heart like bird roaming the wild
wood,
And MARBLES with joy as it heAvenwardly
flies.
A time when the heart and soul are made
happy,
When sweet memories blossom meier to de-
cay;
When the bright star OF hope in glory bright
ems,
And the night of dispair is turned into
day.
There's time in this life which we fondly
cherish,
For it brings back memories of the sweet
long ago,
And causes the heart to cling still more fondly
To days that have flown to come never
more.
