Rats.

Rats are a great pest in every city and
town, and, indeed, everywhere In this
country. # seems nearly impossible to
get rid Of them, and any method that
promises to secure this most desirable
end is worth trying. Somebody recon-
mends covering stones, rafters and every
part Of a cellar with ordinary white
wash, made yellow with copperas, put.
ting copperas in every crevice or Granny
where a rat may get, and scattering 1t In
corners on the floor. He has tried 1t
repeatedly, and the result has been a
general retreat of both mice and rats,
not one Of which had at last accounts
returned. 1t is said that a coat of this
yellow wash, given each spring to a cell
lar, will not only Danish those vermin,
but will prevent fever, dysentery or ty-
phoid. Everything esable should be
carefully secured against the ravages Of
rats, which are so intelligent that they
will soon abandon premises where they
get next to nothing TO eat. The rat we
are most troubled with is the brown
rat, much larger, stronger, fercer and
more ravenous than the black rat,
which has almost entirely disappeared,
having been driven off or exterminated
by the more formidable species. The
brown rat is frequently called the Nor
way rat, from the erroneous impression
that it came from Norway, which coun-
try it did not reach until it had become
abundant in Britain and America. 1t
appeared first Mt Astrakhan in the be.
ginning of the eighteenth century, and
gradually spread over Western Earope,
whence we have derived it. 1t was
once known as the Hanoverian rat, be-
cause the British Jacobites were pleased
TO believe that it came in with the
house of Hanover.

news and Notes for Women.

Miss Longfellow, the poets eldest
unmarried daughter, is described as e
clever young lady, with a strong, clearly
marked face, much resembling her
fathers. She sat in the state dining
at Mount Vernon the other day
wearing a gendarme blue dress with
brocaded ribbons, n curiously beaten
gold pen, combining the lace at her
throat and a broad, black hat.
The smaller the husband, the bigger
the bundles Lis wife makes him carry.
Mrs. Margaret Dodson, Of Houston
county, Texas, is s%eventy-four years old
and has ffty-one great-grandchildren
living.
A Georgia lady, not yet forty ESQ she
told the census MANI, has buried four
husbands, and on the thirteenth inst,
married her fifth.
A New York correspondent tells an
interesting story about four women who
90 TO dinners and receptions TO talk and
to help the hostess entertain her guests.
The price for their services is 1926 IN
hour.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowman, who died at
Corydon, Ind, a few days ago, was l04
years of age. When she was q girl her
father moved into the country of the
Shawanee Indians and she witnessed
many encounters between the pioneers
and the redskins.
In no court, says London Truth, are
more beautiful women to be seen than
in England; but it is to be regretted
that more pains are not taken to teach
graceful walking. Even ina ballroom,
what with high heels and tide back
skirts, the art of progression is far too
much neglected by Englishwomen.
The length Of time that that Snifkins
girl will spend over q hve-cent plate OF
ice cream, when in company with her
Charles Augustus, while at home she'll
90 through two complete editions Of
pork and beans in half that period. Is a
subject worthy scientific investigation.

POPULAR

Next In Importance to freedom and
justice is popular education, without
which neither freedom nor justice can
be permanently maintained. Its inter.
ests are intrusted to the States and to
the voluntary action of the people.
Whatever help the nation can justly al
ford should be generously given to aid
the States in supporting common
schools; but it would be unjust to our
people and dangerous to our institu-
tons to apply any portion of the rev.
Dnues of the nation, or Of the States, to
the support OF sectarian schools. Tie
separation of the Church and the State
in everything relating 10 taxation should
be absolute.

Too Much OF a Lady,
When Eve in the garden was plueking the rose
Ard enjoying the Eden walks shady,
UOndef ~ ever sbc tnfued u, h. rr

When Eve in the garden was plueking the rose
Ard enjoying the Eden walks shady,
/ wonder II ever she turned up her nose,
And sighed, I'm ZOO much Of a lady!
Too much Of a lAdy, dear Adam, to work
A helpmeet was made to be petted;
You keep things in order-I really must shirk,
Though the fact dear, is deeply regretted"
To-day che has daughters who're delicate hands
Are wholly untitled for labor;
1t almoft fstigues them TO lutter their fans
When they ~lsnguidly call on neighbor,
Their mission on earth il 10 gossip and dress,
And live upon ifeis sweetest honey,
And they haven't q bother or trouble unless
Their masculine bank fails in money.
1t isn't the loyeliest, to be sure,
To dAbble in cooking and dishes,
But never a home was kept tidy and pure
By dainty Rsthetlcal wishes.
I'm free TO confess there is something in life
More attractive then putting a stitch in,
And many a weary industrious wife
Isn't deeply in love with her kitchen.
Butduty lie duty, and dirt is always dirt,
And only the lazy deny it,
Crocheting is nicer than making a shirt,
But men never yet we're clothed by it.
To sit in a psrlor in incident ease,
Or lounce through the streets silly gazers to
please,
Is being too much OF a lady.
Too much Of a lady TO darn up her hoao,
Or govern her house with acumen;
Too much OF a lady wherever che goes
To ever be much Of a woman!
Tn muscles that God made are useless TO her,
Except to DO wrapped up in satin,
And as for an intellect-she would prefer
A bonnet to mastering Latin.
Too much Of a lady TO own a grand heart,
And be a true daughter or mother;
Too much Of a lady to bare the brave part
That ne'tr can be borne by another.
Byfsshion or birth quite too fine for this earth,
When it comes to the judgments great pay
day,
Though the Lord may delight in the Lilies in
white,
Will He smile on "Too much Of q lady?'

THE TARIFF.

In reference to our custom laws a
policy should be pursued which will
bring revenues to the treasury, and will
enable the labor and capital employed in
u great industries TO compete fairly in
our own markets with the labor and CAPT
tai of foreign producers. We legislate for
the people of the United States, and not
for the whole world and it is our glory
thut the American hborer is more in
teIligent and better paid than his foreign
competitor. Our country cannot be In
dependent unless its people with their
abundant natural resources possess the
requisite skill at any time to clothe. arm
and equip themselves for war, and in
time OF peace to produce all the neces-
sary implements of labor. 1t was tie
manifest intention of the founders of the
government to provide Tor the common
defense, not by standing armies alone,
but by raising among the peoples greater
lrmy of artisans whose intelligence and
skill should powerfully contribute TO the
lIfety and glory Of the nation,

A Novel Life.SayIng Craft,

A novel craft has been invented by n
clergyman for the preservation of life at
sea-. 1t is n floating vessel in the shape
of an inverted balloon, which is entirely
covered, the entrance being by a man.
hole in the upper part, reached from q
platform wholly surrounding the vessel,
and from which small iron ladders drop
down to the water. Inside, arranged
around the widest part, are seats and
berths, and under the covered bottom
is space for provisions. Ventilation is
provided for by an ingenious device.
The boat is adapted for shoal or deep
water by a ballast weight which is
raised or lowered from within. 1t is
furnished with a keel and rudder. Its
peculiar feature is its method o. motion,
This is automatic. 1t is obtained by
wave OF air wheels attached to shafts
which are connected with a small pro-
peller. The principle of the wheels is
that whatever way the wind blows or
the waves move, the motion is always
in the same direction and under control
OF the rudder. The boat can be made
OF metal, and the size can be regulated
by the needs of the vessel to which it
belongs. 1t is proof against fire, always
rides vertical, is easily dropped from
the ship, and car be handled by any one
who knows how to turn a crank.
