. TARRING A RAT.-Rats are wonderfully
clean animals, and they dislike tar more,
perhaps, than anything else, for if any gets
on their jackets they find it most difficult to
remove. Now, had heard it mentioned
that pouring tar down at the entrance of
their holes was good remedy, also placing
broken pieces of glass by the holes was an
other remedy. But these remedies are not
effective. The rats may leave their old
holes and make new ones in other parts of
the house; they don't, however, leave the
premises for good. i thought would try
another experiment--one I had not heard of
before One evening set a large wire-cage
rat-trap, attaching on the inside most Sc
ductive piece of strongly smelling cheese,
and next morning found to my satisfac-
ton, that l had succeeded in trapping a very
large rat, one of the largest had ever seen,
which, after had besmeared him with tar,
I let loose into his favorite run. The next
night tried again, and succeeded in trap
ping another equally big fellow, and served
him in the same manner. could not fol-
low these tar-besmeared rats into their nu-
merous runs, to see what would happen, but
it is reasonable to assume they either sum-
moned together all the members of their
community, and by their crestfallen appear
ance, gave their comrades silent indications
of the misfortunes which had so suddenly
befallen them, or that they had frightened
their brethren away, for they one and all
forsook the place and fled. The experiment
was eminently successful. From that day,
in 1875, till now, 1888, my house, ancient
though it is, has been entirely free from rats,
and believe that there is no remedy equal
to this one, if you can catch your rat alive.
They never come back to the house again.

A MATCH FOUND FOR A Boston QUIZ.
Two Boston gentlemen while tramping
through the White mountains the past sum-
mer came across lonely hut among the
hills from which the prospect was particu-
larly fine and extended. The proprietor OF
the establishment was hoeing in a small
garden, and the travellers began to quiz
him. Said one:
"You have an excellent view from your
house."
"Purty fair" replied the farmer.
s'I SUPPOSE" continued the first speaker,
winking to his companion, "on fair day
YOU can see almost to Europe"
"Kin see further IN that" returned the
man.
s'How so?" was asked in surprise.
'We don't think nothin' of seein' as fur
as the mune. ."-Bost0n Courier.
IT LOOKED THAT WAY.-At one of the
Northern depots lately an old lady, whom
an inward train had just deposited, timidly
approached brakeman and asked If he
knew whereabouts on the line her nephew
was employed. "Abner?" saidt the railroad
man. ooh, he's been changed about con-
siderably lately. He fired the John Edward
till she ditched the graves and he got stove
in. When he came out they gave him the
Owl for while then he broke the tWo-eight
passenger till she jumped a know-nothing,
and he got pinched somewhere, and now l
believe he's spare round the yard. You see
he's had hard luck" The old lady stood
speechless for a moment as if trying to di-
gest the idioms of the railroad, and then
said softly, as if at a hazard, that she

How TO TELL DIPHTHERIA-A doctor
says: 81 was called out Of bed past midnight
to go four miles in the country and attend,
what the messenger stated, was bad case
of diphtheria." "And you went?" "Had
to. When arrived found a ten-year-old
girl crying with a sore throat. looked into
it, asked a few questions, and found that
she had done big washing that day. Had
a little cold-nothing else" "How can you
tell the difference q" cpl give you rule
by which you can always determine" was
the response. eff the throat is red and
smaller, no fear cf diphtheria; ; but if it looks
as though some one had thrown handful
of ashes into the throat-a dull gray color
look out. It's diphtheria's danger signal.

PETRoLEUM.-This peculiar product
called mineral" in the official docu-
ments, because it is supposed to have been
produced, geologically, from oal-now con-
stitutes one of the most important of the
country's exports. 1t may not eventually
prove to be a mineral in any other sense
than is implied by its being found in the
subterrapean rocks, for it is not yet certain
that it is not produced from measureless
millions of a minute marine shell fish that
once lived in the ancient seas, Whatever it
is, product of coal, or of what was once a
form of animal life, it is essentially made
of carbon and hydrogen, and is proving to
be an invaluable addition to the worlds
possessions. 1t seems strange that this sub
stance, so early known, should have re-
manned, during al! these centuries unused
except by some of the followers ofZoroaster,
who have for long time utilized naptha
springs at Baku, on the shores of the Cas-
plan sea, to keep alive their perpetual fire.

WEATHER TROCBLEs.-We must remem-
ber that this is large country, and that
our troubles from bad weather are really
almost always comparatively local. With
our railroads uniting all parts of the coun-
try, bringing the farmers of the extremes as
near each other as residents of county used
to be, there is far less cause for melancholy
foreboding than in the days of our grand
fathers, when a single snow storm or cold
snap might cut off all traffic and communi-
cation between comparatively near neigh
bors for whole weeks at time. Now, if
the hay crop is short, or our corn is frozen,
we can find plenty of either waiting for
market almost at our very doors. TO the
farmer who lives from "hand to mouth"
who uses up each year what each year pro-
duces, al short crop means degree of want,
possibly hunger and cold, but this is not
the character of the farmers generally. We
believe that there is no considerable class
of working people in the, community who
from year to year suffer less from actual
want than the farmers. Their very occupa-
ton teaches them to look ahead and provide
for the future. Tradesmen and manufac-
turers have their poor years, and farmers
must not expect to be exempt. AS one eX-
treme is expected to follow another we may
hope for an exceptionally productive season
next year.-Nev England Farmer.

w
grown from the nut, producing butt four
teen inches in diameter in as many years
from the seed, as fal north as Massachusetts.
No tree valuable for the timber in cabinet
uses, unless the black birch be so considered,
can attain to that useful growth in that pc
riod of time in our northern climate. Ma
pies require twenty years before they be-
come good timber trees beeches and birch
es, fifteen years to attain to diameter large
enough to yield nine inch boards hickory
should have a growth of thirty years and
cherry at least as much.
The cultivation Of the black walnut might
be made source of profit, ifonly as an aux
iliary to the ordinary farm products. 1t re-
quires no particular care, makes an elegant
tree even in it's youth, and later affords an
agreeable shade. The iSea0ing Machine Jour-
nal says:
"One hundred acres of land, seeded to
walnut trees, if they even reach maturity
in fifteen years, would be more remunera-
tive than many of the crops produced by tif-
teen of incessant toll. Besides, these trees
might be planted and would thrive on spots
which are really valueless for agricultural
purposes, and while in the course Of growth
would serve as valuable aids to agriculture
as wind breaks and in other respects"
The EYEsIGHT.-Dr. Lunday lays down
the following rules for the better care Of the
eyes:
l. Avoid reading and study by poor light:
3. Light should come from the side and
not from the back or from the front
3. DO not read or study while suffering
great bodily fatigue or during recovery from
illness.
T. DO not read while lying down.
5. Do not use the eyes too long at time
for near work, but give them occasional pc
ri0ds Of rest.
6. Reading and study should be done sys-
tematically.
I. During study avoid the STOPPING posi-
ton, or whatever tends to produce conges-
ton of the head and face.
s. Select we'll printed books.
0. Correct errors Of refractiOn with proper
glasses.
10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions and
the use of alcohol and tobacco.
II. Take sufficient exercise in the open
air.
- Let thy physical keep pace with the
mental culture, for asthenopia is most usual
ly observed in those who are lacking in
physical development.

FARMING PAYs.-If piece of land cost

turn, after paying all cost of labor and fer

interest. Now there is no man who would
think of living on the interest of 500 loaned
at even this high rate, but instances are not
rare of men making good living for them
selves and their families from careful cultl-
vation of ten acres of lands. We mention
this fact to prove the two frequent express
sion that farming does not pay" is not in
accordance with fact. Ifa man invest 81 900
in 100 acres of land and makes only ten of
them, or 500 worth available, he cannot ex-
pect to derive profit from the other ninety
acres, any more than he could expect any
interest upon 81, 900 when he had only 500
of it invested. Land well cultivated pays
a better interest on the money invested than
any other venture Vermont Waterman.
