Good Company.

In library we are surrounded by
many hundreds of dear friends, but thev
are imprisoned by an enchanter in thin
paper and leathern boxes; and though
they have been waiting two, ten or
twenty centuries for us, and are eager
to give us sign and unbosom them
selves, it is the law of their limbo that
they must not speak until spoken to-;
and as the enohanter has dressed them
in coat and jacket of one cut, by the
thousand and ten thousand, your chance
of hitting the right one may be fifty or
a hundred blanks to one prize.
1t seems, then, as if some charitable
soul, after losing a great deal of time
among the false books, and alighting
upon few true ones which made him
happy and wise, would do right act in
naming those which have been bridges
to carry him safely over dark morasses
into palaces and temples.
DIR. johnson said "he always went
into stately shops" and good travellers
stop at the best hotels; for though they
cost more, there is the good company
and the best information. In like man
ner the scholar knows that the famed
books contain, first and last, the best
thoughts and facts, Emerson.

To Destroy Rats.

When in small numbers, says writer
in the Rural Net0 Yorker, these may be
easily got rid of by placing food near
their runs for few nights till they have
regularly deveured it and then poisoning
the same. But where they harbor nu-
merously poisoning is too slow an oper-
alton, and, moreover, there are gener-
ally some astute old fellows that, pre-
pare traps and poison ever so cunning
ly, are too wary to be caught by them.
One of the best methods l have ever
tried, under such circumstances, to
catch rats is to take four joist posts
about four feet long and nail twelve to
thirteen feet boards to them, about two
inches apart from bottom to top. This
makes an ample pen, which should be
set near where the rats are most abun-
dant. In setting the pen put four-inch
square blocks under the posts, so that
the rats can run under the lower board
easily into it. Now spread corn, oats
or anything they are fond of over the
ground inside the pen; then lay down
three four-inch square joists equidis-
tant and floor these with boards. Let
the pen remain thus for week or so,
by which time the rats will have made
it a great harbor for themselves. Now
take the blocks from under the posts
and the lower boards of the pen will
come so near to the ground that the
rats cannot escape underneath and be-
ing so high they cannot leap over. Then
put in one or more terrier dogs, take
out the floor boards and you will see
rare sport. 1 found upward of twenty
rats in pen of this description one
morning and small rough-haired ter
rier bitch of mine killed every one in a
few minutes She would jump and
catch the rat by the back of the neck,
breaking it with a single grip. After
she had done this she went leisurely
round over them, one after the other,
and if she found any still kicking or
showing life she gave it another grip on
the neck and thus settled the matter with
the rats. 1t is astonishing what com-
plete rat warrens many of our farmers
make of their barns and outbuildings.
Instead of having their sills and floors
close to the ground they should be
raised two feet or more from it; cats
and dogs can then easily run under and
prevent rats and other vermin from
| harboring there.

The Ex.Empress in Zulu-Iand.

ALondon paper says that letters re-
ceived from the Cape state that the
Empress Eugenie, during her stay at
Durham, was to occupy the same room
in Government House, to ride in the
same carriage, and eat from the same
table as Prince Louis Napoleon did.
Travelling in Cape carts, she was timed
to reach Ityotyozzi, where the Prince
was killed, on the anniversary of his
death. Round the spot where the two
troopers who fell at the same time as
the Prince are buried, a ditch has been
dug and a wall raised, so as to form a
small cemetery, in which trees and vio-
lets have been planted. Gebooda, the
leader of the Zulus who attacked the
Prince and his party, has given a sol
emn promise in presence of Major Stabb
that the graves should never be desc
Grated.

"A society called "The New
Charity" has been in successful
operation for two years in Phila-
delphia. The fundamental idea
is to help the needy to help themselves,
instead Of giving them money, food,
or clothing. There are about one thou
sand philanthropio ladies included in
the district visitors, whose purpose is
not only to learn the condition of the
poor and relieve temporary distress, but
TO prove useful friends by encouraging
those who are needy, stimulating their
self-respect, and aiding them to find
ways of earning their own living by
honest work, even if that work is not Of
the kind to which they are accustomed,
or what they would desire. The members
of the society endeavor TO rescue the
poor from mendicancy by showing them
how much more self-respecting il is to
dig than TO beg, to wash than TO receive
aims. II is stated that by the labors OF
this "New Charity" the city's ap
preparation for the outdoor poor has
been reduced many thousands of dollars.

species (H. .fitlgidiuS). \ was informed
that it was very abundant upon
plants OF this genus along the St.
Johns river
The eggs of the cotton stainer
were sent to the department in April,
by Mr.. II. S. Williams, of Rock
Ledge, Fla. They were laid in a
group of twenty.on upon the under
side Of an orange leaf. They were
amber colored and oval in shape.
The young bugs made their exit
through nearly circular holes on the
upper side, near one end. The eggs
appear smooth and glistening to the
naked eye, but on examination with a
lens showsthem to be densely covered
with hexagonal impressions. The
young bugs are bright red, with black
legs and antenna. In form they re-
semble the adults, but are wingless.
As to remedies, the only ones
which have been suggested were
given by Mr.. Glover in the annual re-
port OF this department. for 1875.
Mr.. Glover says:
"These insects being in the habit
OF collecting together where there
were splinters or fragments OF sugar
cane on the ground, advantage was
taken of this fact to draw them to-
gether by means of small chips OF
sugar cane laid upon the earth near
the plants, where they were at once
destroyed by means of boiling water.
They also collect around heaps OF
cotton-seed, where they may be read
lily destroyed al the commencement
OF cold weather. Small heaps OF re-
fuse trash, dried cornstslks, or espec.
tally OF crushed sugar-cane may be
made III various parts of the planta.
ton in the vicinity OF the plants
under these the insects take shelter
from the cold, and when a sufficient
quantity of the bugs are thus drawn
together, the various heaps may be
fired and the insects destroyed with
the trash. A yery cold morning
however should be selected, and the
| fire made before the insects have been
thawed into life and vigor by the
heat OF the sun; and especially al
dead trees, rotten stumps, and weeds
i'll the vicinity of the field should be
burned or otherwise destroyed, as
they afford comfortable shelter tol
all sorts Of noxious insects. Crushed
