A Celestial Revelation.

Mr.. Goober-as the story goes-lived
in the Mormon country. He had but
one wife, and never thought of taking
any more till one day an elder told him
it was his religious duty to seal unto
himself few others. Mr.. Goober went
home and sadly informed his wife of
what the elder had said, and Mrs. Goober
said she had no objection, provided the
elder would come round and argue the
case with her piously. Goober told the
elder, and the elder dropped around. He
smiled sweetly as Mrs. Goober advanced
to meet him. The next thing lie knew
he was skipping around the room with
his coat slit mp the back and his hat
knocked into pi, while Mrs. Goober
welded the broomsticl He finally
jumped out of window, and escaped
with his life, as adder and wiser man.
The next time he met Cooler he told
him he had had celestial revelation by
which Goober was relieved from the ne
cesslty Of taking any more wives-NTrs.
Goober would count for almost !, 900 in

Rata.

It has always bean easy for house
wives, who are troubled with rats, 70
poison them, but the problem has bsen
to induce them to die upon the field Of
honor, so to speak, to wit, the kitchen
floor. They have usually preferred 10
retire to their inaccessible retreats In
the walls as soon as they have felt the
symptoms of arsenic poisoning, and the
low state of sanitary science prevailing
IN their communities is such that pois-
oned rats -e never properly buried or
incineraI by their associates. The
problem Z An been how to kill the rats
without bringing unpleasant odors into
the house.
Mrs Benedict has solved the difficulty
and is entitled to the honor we give to
an inventor and benefactor. She was
engaged, it appears, in the domestic
manufacture of plaster casts of various
kinds. Complaints having been made
OF the hagility Of these wares, Mrs.
Benedict began course of experiments
with the hope of giving greater dura-
bllity to her casts. One of her devices
was to mix wheaton -four with her
pulverized plaster of Paris, so that the
gluten of the flour might make the
paste less brittle. One evening she had
visitors, who rang her door-ben Just rs
she was sitting the mixed plaster and
-four for the third time. by way of mix
ing them intimately, as the chemists
say. She had already set n dish of
water at hand, intending to make a cast
at once, and when the door-bell rang she
hastily removed her apron and went TO
welcome her guests, leaving her matari-
ais upon the kitchen table The guests
stayed until late bedtime, and when
they babe her adieu Mrs. Benedict vent
to bed without returning 70 the kitchen.
What happened In the night was this /:
A rat, shifting the odor of hour, made
up the legs of the table to the top
where he was speedily joined by otherfor-
agers-his brethren. The dish of flour
and plaster was easily reached, and the
rats ate freely and hastily Of it, Us It Is
their custom to do. 1t was rather dry
supper, and, water being at hand
each rat turned from the savory
dish of -four 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
stomachs, and then, in technical phrase,
0tb ~ LIAdb w Gay Vic A4ltAc
made into paste instantly grew hard
in each rats stomach, making cast of
all its convolutions. The event proved
that, with such cast in existence, It is
impossible for rat to retreat even across
the kitchen. ~
The next morning thirteen of them
lay dead in circle around the watel
dish. Mrs. Benedict, like wise WON.
an, kept her secret and made profit OF
it. She undertook, for a consideration,
to clear the premises of her neigh Jors
of the pests, and succeeded, 1t was not
long before the town was as free of tins
sort of vermin as if the pied piper OF
Hamelin had Travelled that way. TheI
Mrs. Benedict advertised for agents to
work up the business throughout the
country, selling each the secret for q
fair price.

UaexpIainaDie Facts.

Affairs do go oddly in this world. NOT
long ago there was railroad disaster III
New Jersey, whereby several persons
we're badly hurt, but only one, as it
turned out, fatally. BE was a young
man of singularly industrious habits
and Of a most unselfsh character. Upon
his labors an aged father and mother
and two sisters wholly depended for
their support. It was the ambition of
this young man to give to his mother q
deed of the house which the family oc-
cupiad. To this end be had iOregone
marriage, and toilcd early and late; he
personally attended to the smallest house
keeping details, managing them all with
the most painstaking economy. The
family itself had seen better days, ard
he was the last prop left. His manly
and self-sacrifcing spirit had gradually
impressed itself upon the community IN
which he lived, 80 that he was respect
fully and kindly regarded on every hand.
He had been in one place Of service and
trust for eight years. and only life and
time seemed to be needed to enable him
finally to secure the eud toward which
all bis energies were bent Well, ont OF
eight carloads of passengers he was the
only one killed. Sitting In the seat with
him at the time OF the crash was man
who has said since that he thought that
he was ready to die, and that no one
would have suffered by his death, or, ac-
cording to his own perhaps excessive
modesty, missed him. This man was
not even scratched, while his fellow &C.
pant of the same seat, about whose life
so many interests were linked, was so
hurt about the head that even his re-
markable natural strength gave no hope
from the first that he could survive.
Things do go strangely in this world

Old lin Cans.

The ingenious man or woman can lind
dozen uses for the old tin cans that accu-
mulate so fast. The most attractive ar
ticles made from them are the bird
houses and flower-pOts and stands. For
the first the cans are dipped in large
pan of melted asphalt and then rolled in
dry sand. This gives them a natural
ground color, on which can be fastened,
while the asphalt is still warm, the ordi-
nary dry packing moss used by florists,
wood MOSES, short dry twigs, small
cones and burrs, to give a picturesque
effect. If the lid is still attached to the
can by bit of solder it can be left for a
doorstep for the birds. The various ways
of attaching the can to the tree viii sug-
gest themselves, according to taste. A
single can covered with birch bark and
ornamental with burns, acorns, etc,
makes pretty fower-pot; two partly
telescoped, with portion cut out of the
side for the reception OF the soil and
plants, makes miniature log; three
rows, placed one above another by means
of different sized round boxes on a round
table, make a very pretty stand The
asphalt should be literally used -[

Information for the Million.

The year 1900 viii not be leap year
1896 and 1904 will DO leap years. To
explain the reason of this, we will give
you a short account Of the change OF
styie in the calendar effected by Pope
Gregory XIII. He found that the error
of eleven minutes in the Julian calendar
had amounted TO ten days. He, there
fore, deducted ten days in October, 1852,
and, to prevent q recurrence OF the
error, it was ordered that every year
ending q century should not be conaid-
cred leap year except the multiples Of
the year 400. Thus, 1900 was q leap
wear, but 100 was not, nor 1900, nor
viii 1900 be; but 1000 Will be @ leap
year, and every 400th year after it. In
England we cid not adopt the Gregorian
calendar till 1852 consequently, with
US, 100 was leap year, and we were
eleven days out. These were subtract
cd, and, at the time, the measure enact
ing the alteration caused considerable
uneasiness and some few riots among the
poorer people, who could not oompre-
bend the matter, and raised the cry of
"Give Us back our eleven days !" The
Greeks and Russians still retain the old
style, so there Is now q difference OF
twelve days between their date and ours,
because they have oonAidered 100 and
1850 as leap years. The term "bisGex-
tile" as applied to tho leap yea<, was
given by julius Caesar when he reformed
the calendar, giving the additional day
every four years to February, as being
the shortest month, and caused it to be
inserted between the Oath and 25th. BY
the Roman mode Of reckoning, the oath
of February was called the sixth before
the Calends Of March, and the intercal-
airy day was, therefore, named bis seztus
dies (the second sixth day. and the year
6tssertilis containing the second sixth

Few people know how easily white
wash Is made, and how valuable when
properly applied. It not only prevents
the decay Of wood, but Is greatly con-
ducive TO the healthfulness OF buildings,
whether wood or stone. Out-buildings
and fences, when not painted, should be
supplied once or twice a year with a
good coat Of whitewash, which should
be prepared in tho following way:
Take clean, water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put inta II
about half bushel Of lime slack it
by pouring water over it boiling hot,
and put in a sufficient quantity of water
to cover it Eve inches deep, and stir it
briskly until thoroughly Stacked; when
the stacking has been thoroughly eff
fscted, dissolve 1t in water, and add two
pounds of sulPhate of zinc and common
salt. These viii cause the wash to
harden and prevent it's cracking, which
gives an unsightly appearance to the
work.
If desirable, beautiful cream color
may be given to the above wash by add-
ing three pounds Of yellow ochre or a
good pearl by lead, lamp, vine or ivy
