Sir John Lubbock, in tie Stneteentd

FINDING FAULT.

Does it pay to find fault You
who are the wise keepers of houses,
and the dear keepers of hearts -
does it pay There are heavy bur
dens to bear all day-manifold cares
from the rising to the setting of the
blunders made by those who
should have known better-many
thing to annoy; but don't make cold
aud cherries the home atmosphere
by finding fault. There is no blight
more deadly in it's tendency-noth>
ing that can more surely disturb the
harmony of hOme-nOthing that will
recoiI more quickly upon yourself
than the habit of fault finding. -
Not that errors should go unrebuked
or mistakes uncOrrected but note
such down in your memory, and
when the work and care and tumult
of the day are all over, then call the
little ones and the larger ones
around you, and then tell them sob~
erly but kindly of the wrong doings,
and see if you are not amply repaid
for your forbearance by the smile
and the tear, and the little word of
contrition and promise of amend
ment. You will be a thousand
times happier when you lie down to
sleep, and G'sweet forgetfulness has
settled over your little flock, than
you would have been had the blue
eyes now closed been filled with Bit
ter tears that overlooked at unkind
censure, or had the little golden
head dropped under the shadow of
your constant frown. How fair and
sweet and satisfying life might be to
us all if we could forget to fret, and
find fault and complain. Don't save
your words for praise and apprecia
ton until it is too late. You love
the children--the dear little chill
dren And if they speak loud and
leave doors open that should be shut
and disturb the order of the house,
don't fnd faplt. 1t won't pay.

REM ARKABLE AND VALUABLE
DISCOVERY.

1t has always been easy for house,
wives who are troubled with rats to
poison them, but the problem has
been to induce them to die upon the
field of honor, so to speak-to"wit,
the kitchen floor. They have usu
ally preferred to retire to their mac
cessible retreats in the wall as soon
as they have felt the symptoms OF
arsenical poisoning, and the low state
of sanitary science prevailing 10 their
communities is such that poisoned
rats are never properly buried or
incinerated by their associates.
The problem has been how to kill
the rats without bringing unpleasant
odors into the house.
Mrs. Benedict has solved the diff
Guilty and is entitled to the honor we
give 90 an inventor and beuefactor.
She was engaged, it appears, in the
domestic manufacture of plaster casts
of various kinds. Complaint having
been made of the fragility Of these
wares, Mrs. Benedict began course
of experiments with the hope of Civ.
ing durability to her casts. One OF
her devices was to mix wheaton Hour
with her pulverized plaster of Paris
SO that the gluten of the -four might
make the paste less brittle. On one
evening she had visitors, who rang
the door bell just as she was sitting
the mixed plaster and -four for the
third time by way of mixing them
intimately, as the chemists would
say. She had already set dish OF
water at hand, intending to make
cast at once, and when the door bell
rang, she hastily removed her apron
and went to welcome her guest, leav-
ing her materials in the kitchen.
The guests stayed until late bed
time and when they bid her adieu,
Mrs. Benedict went to bed without
returning to the kitchen.
What happened in the night was
this. A rat, shifting the odor OF
-four, made up the legs of the table
to the top, where he was speedily
Joined by other foragers-his breth"
rem. The dish of -four and plaster
was easily reached, and the rats ate
freely and hastily of it, as it is their
custom to do. 1t was rather a dry
supper, and, water being at hand,
each rat turned from the savory dish
of -four and plaster to slack his thirst
with water. Everybody who has had
to do with plaster of paris will guess
at once what happened. The water
drank first wetted the plaster in the
the rats stomachs, and then, in tech"
nical phrase, "set" it that is to say
the plaster thus made into paste in
stantly grew hard in each rats stom-
ach, making a cast of its cOnvolu
tions. The event pro led that, with
such cast in existence, it is impos'
sible for a rat to retreat even across
a kitchen.
The next morning thirteen of them
lay dead 10 circle around the wa
ter dish. Mrs. Benedict, like wise
woman, kept her secret and made d
profit of it. She undertook, for a
consideration, to clear the premises
of her neigbers of the pests, and suc>
ceeded. 1t was not long before the
town was as free of this sort of ver-
milo as if the pied piper of Hamelin
had travelled that way. Then Mrs
Benedict advertised for agents to
work up the business throughout the
country, selling each the secret for
a fair price.-[New York Evening
