Rats.
Mrs. Benedfct's Remarkable and Valun-
 ble Discovery.

Mrs. Benedfct's Remarkable and Valun-
 ble Discovery.
 From the New York Evening Post
 It has always been easy for housewives who are troubled with rats to poison them but the problem has been to induce them to wit, the kitchen floor. They have usually preferred to retire to their inaccessible re- treats in the wall as soon they have felt the symptoms of arsenical poisoning and the low state of sanitary science prevailing in their communities is such that poisoned rats are never properly buried or incinerated by their associates. The problem has been to know how to kill the rats without bringing unpleasant odors in the house.
 Mrs. Benedict has solved the difficulty and is entitled to the honor we give to an inven- tor and benefactor She was engaged it ap pears, 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 giving greater durability to her casts. One of her devices was to mix wheaton flour with her pulverized plaster of Paris, so that the gluten of the flour might make the paste less brittle Che evening she had visitors, who rang the doorbell just as she was sitting the mixed plaster and flour for the third time by way of mixing them in- timately as the chemists say She had al- ready set dish of water at hand, intending 70 make Q cast at once, when the dOOrbeu rang she hastily removed her apron and went to welcome her guests, leaving her ma- terials upon the kitchen table The guests left at late bed time, and when they bade her adieu Mrs. Benedict went to bed without return ing to the kitchen.
 What happened in the night was this. A rat, sniffing the odor of four made up the legs of the table to the top, where he was speedily joined by other foragers-his breth- ren. The dish of plaster and flour was easi- ly reached, and the rats ate freely and hastily of it. as it is their custom to do It was rath- CT dry supper, and water being at hand each rat turned from the savory dish of flour and plaster to slake his thirst with water Everybody who has had to do with plaster of paris will guess at once what happened The water drunk first wetted the plaster in the rats stomachs, and then, in technical phrase, ''set' it :; that is to say, the plaster thus made into paste instantly grew hard in each rats tions. The event proved that with such cast treat even across kitchen.
 The next morning thirteen ofthem lay dead in a circle around the water dish Mrs. Ben edict like a wise woman, kept her secret and made profit of it. She undertook, for con- sideration, to clear the premises of her nelghbors of the pests, and succeeded It was not long before the town was as free of this sort of yermin 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 fair price.

White Sulphur Springs An Editorial
 Gathering-Charmins Wild Scenery.
 WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, June p.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 t'what on earth brought you to this place ?''' Seeking health, which was much improved by trip to New York in the Con tinental; cars to Baltimore steamer on the Chesapeake Bay; thence up York river to West Point and Richmond. Old Point Com fort and Fortress Monroe were passed with out stop, which was much to be regretted, az had previously had so nice time at the famous watering place. Fords Hotel in Rich mond should, for family, patronize again. It is most pleasantly situated, overlooking the historic capitol grounds and buildings. The Ohio and Chesapeake railroad route from Richmond to the White Sulphur Springs is full of interest and still further onward to the Ohio river, in all 300 miles, is eontinu- ous route of wild scenery. The Alleghany mountains, the Cumberland and the Apalach- ian range are tunnelled over twenty times in making the passage
 The White Sulphur Springs are situated l, 300 feet above tide water, in valley sur rounded by mountains from 1000 to 1,5OO feet higher. The place is all it is said to be. The hotel is 400 feet in length and 100 in width and is surrounded with perhaps 100 cottages, all together capable of accommoda- ting 1000 guests. The dining hall is one of the largest have ever seen. This place cost a mint of money. A few first mortgage bondholders have got it now in possession, and are expending a large amount in repairs. Some of the cottages bear high sounding names, Robert E. Lees" being the most so. The walks, the groves, all bear enticing names, as sLover's Leap," Bridal Walk, " ttConsecration Grove" etc., every place bear tug name, and they are legion. Rows of cottages are named after cities and States of the South This was the place where in for mer days the national politics were discussed with great effect. I suppose it will still be the popular place of the South, but looking over the books Northern names are not in- frequent.
 Charlottesville, Monticello, the home of Jefferson, and the University of Virginia, are among the points of interest on the route here The route from this place to Hunting ton on the Ohio river is still more excitingly wild than that from Richmond or Washing ton to the Springs. Kanawha River Falls are exceedingly wild In time, when the road Gas it is sure to be) is finished to Cincin- nati and to Louisville, the Ohio and Chesa- peake will be fayorite through route. As 1t is, a night passed upon the Ohio on good steamer is not atiresome change, except when
