A Morning PAPER.


Sometimes man throws his morn
ing paper down on the seat and leaves
the car. Each man that has no paper
wants It, and each man would grab 1t
II alone and unobservcd. The one who
appears to be looking out of q window
in an opposite direction is the man who
sees that paper more distinctly than
anyone else. And he being the man
who seems least Interested in IL is the
man who wants it most. AS soon as
that paper is thrown down it becomes
an object of interest. The man who
never buys or reads paper wants 1t,
and wants 1t badly. The man sitting
next to it looks straight ahead and
doesn't seem to know anything about
it. But he is just quivering with ex-
citement. He is wrought up to the
highest pitch, and is prepared to grab
for that paper just as soon as the man
on the other side of it makes a similar
attempt. Just at this period man
sitting opposite the paper gives it a
sharp excited look, as though he has
seen his name printed wrong. Then
he gives another sharper look, and his
eyes snap with excitement, and he
reaches over and picks it up to see il
he is right. You can tell by the way
he handles it that he never paid for it,
and he gradually gets it up in front of
his face and turns IL at intervals, and is
as much at home with it as though it
was his own. And tho other men look
at him sourly, and silently condemn
him as being largely porcine in his ma
ture p,,rk

NDOwning" Rats and Mice.

When once within an old house they
find abundant hiding places, and often
passages from one part of the house TO
another made by their predecessors.
Still much may be done to circumvent
them. All visible holes through parti-
tions and doors should be stopped by
pieces of tin. Old fruit cans, with the
solder melted off answer for the purpose.
The tin may be cut with pair of old
shears and tackled over the holes, frs,
punching with an awl places for the
tacks. Where there is hole through
.plastering, or between stones of the
cellar wall, these may be etfectually
stopped with Plaster of Paris mixed
with coarsely broken glass. They can
not work through this. 1t is well to
make study of the ways of these ami.
mails and follow them up. Of course,
after interfering with their runs and
holes as much as possible, it is desir.
able to catch those that are in the
house, as poisoning is not advisable in
the dwelling. Even the most willy and
cunning old rat may be caught, if his
suspicious are overcome by food in Q
trap arranged not to spring. After he
has learned to feed in the trap regu
larly, it may be set. When rat ha:
been caught, the trap should be soaked
IN water for some days, else others viii
avoid it. Trapping rats requires tact

Pioneer History OF America.
This splendid volume of 1882 pages
crowded with elegant and striking full
page illustrations has lust been issued by
Jones Bros. g. Co., Cincinnati. This ex-
tensive work has connected historical value
as well as thrilling narrative interest. The
author is perspicuous and dramatic writ
er, and carries each recital forward to an
absorbing climax. The hundred engrav-
ings are not only we'll drawn, but are full
of thought, suggestion and feeling. The
work is written in the best, most graphic,
historical style, which, combined with the
intensely interesting facts detailed, will
hold the attention of the reader through
out. No other book OH Pioneer Life'ap-
proaches it in vividness of description,
purity and vigor of style, accuracy of de-
tail and fascination of the story. The ex-
cellent Introduction by DR.. Ridpatb, writ
ten in his proverbially accurate and fasci-
mating manner,'is good contribution to the
volume. The publishers, who are an old and
reliable firm, want agents to take orders for
