KILLING RATS BY ELECTRIC


Ralph Corbit, an ingenious twelve.
year-old boy of Honeybrook, Chester Co.
Penn, has devised novel plan Of get
ting rid of the rats which infest his faith
er's cellar. He has constructed out Of
old fruit jars battery of three Leyden jars,
which he connects and places upon large
iron plate which touches the tin. foil on the
outside. The bait is so arranged that
when the rat steps upon the plate and
seizes the bait he at once makes the con-
nection between the outside and inside Of
the jars, and they are discharged through
the body, killing him "as quick as
lightning. He charges the jars BY means
of an electrical machine, also constructed
by himself. He ran a couple of wires
through the floor to the cellar from the
room above, and as he would hear rat
squeal he would re.charge the battery.
The first time he put the machine in OPP
Grafton he slaughtered twenty-five rats
in a space Of three hours, and in two
days the cellar was entirely cleared Of
the rats.

HOW A GOLD PIECE PASSED
AROUND.

The Atlanta appeal relates this Incl
dent /: A singular incident occurred at a
circus one night recently, which illus
trates the invariable good fortune that
attaches to some people. One, Of a pair
of friends, who were spectators, purchas-
ed a song book from a vendor Of the
poetic trash Of the ring, and gave in pay
ment $3.50 gold piece, supposing it to
be silver dime. The vender pocketed
the money and went on saying nothing
about the mistake. In few minutes
the other friend decided to invest dime
in the same way. He called to the near
est vender, who happened to be the gold.
en- individual aforesaid, and handed him
quarter. The chap returned him a
book together with $3.50 gold piece
and five cent nickel. This caused d
friend No. l to look in his clothes for his
own gold, and not finding it the obvious
conclusion was that the piece was his.

WILLING TO BE WHIPPED BUT
NOT ABUSED.

Yesterday afternoon, says the Salt
Lake Tribune, man from Park City
came into Cliff House considerably ex-
cited. and inquired if certain person
was stopping there. He explained that
the man had "done him dirt" and ne
was anxious to lick him. Finding that
the man had just left the house, he
rushed out after him, and finding him on
Tribune Avenue, walked up and an
nounced that he had come all the way
from Park City to lick him, and accord.
ingly he started in. In a few minutes
he had blackened both the mans eyes,
walked all over him, and reduced him to
a general wreck. When he had finished
the job he stood the man up against the
wall of Walkers Bank, and remarked,
81 want you to understand that l con-
slider you the most infamous whelp l ever
saw. You dirty little cur, l."
"Hold on" said the man, who had
just been kicked, taking off his coat.
81 think that after thrashing a man
you've no right to abuse him. l can
stand licking, but | won't stand abuse
from any living man. no matter how
much he weighs. Now I'm going to
lick you"
He was as good as his word, and
started in with the most business-like air
imaginable, and knocked his late victor
into the gutter. Every time he got up
he knocked him down with, "Blast me,
can't stand abuse" When he got all
through with the Park City man the
crowd thought it was pile Of rags and
mud.
'"Now. look here, my FRIEND" said the
last victor, "next time you lick man
let well enough alone. Don't abuse him.
You handled yourself well enough Will
you were licking me, but you overdid the
abuse"

DR.. MORSE,

Or THE TREATMENT or THROAT AND LUNG
DISEASES ny MEniCATED INHALATION
The word inhalation means simply the act Of
aspiring or drawing common air into the lungs
In medical usage II means mode OF administe.;-
| ing medicines through the medium of the breath.
Thus we say 81 rhale a medicine as we would
say, ~ take . medicine" The diGerencn being
one Il nhaled, or breathed into the lungs, VIII Tie
the other Is swallowed or taken into the stomach
This, then, Is what 10 meant by Mcdicatcd Inhala
tion.
The reader will observe that all medicines inhaled
into the lungs are alike, any more than those
taken into the stomach. and hence the benefits 70
be derived from inhalation must always depend
upon the experience aud skill OF the physiciau
who prescribes for them.
This explanation might have seemed uuueces'-
ary bu, for the fact tina, some have received the
erroneous impressIo that inhs lation, Instead OF
being mode OF prac tiee, is some specific remedy
or no.trum alike applicable 10 the most oppos ite
forms OF pulmonary disease. This were 10 de-
grade II 20 the baser purposes OF qnackery. The
process OF inhaling 10 IS simple as the act OF
| breathing itself. and may be attended 10 10y the
most delisats aud feeble with ,ut eNertion or "a
tigue. Any charge that may be required In the
treatment IL affected by simply varying the mefi
cine composing the inhslent. Thus IL NAV be
tire, or dslris1enf, at pleasure. And In thi- IN sn
ner every action or change necessary 70 be Effected
upon the lungs can be ght about much more
speedily and W ith ten fold greater certainty OF
| results than can be produced In any other way.
The diseased surfaces are acted upon IN every
art. not only the mucus membrane OF the head
throat sud mn sculsr tubes but the reuiotest air
&c lis In the lungs are brought in reach OF med lea
ton Such, then, IS my plan OF treatment In this
most i'm portant branch OF medical practice. and
with an experience of more than twenty years de-
| voted largely TO the treatment OF consumption
aud diseases OF tie air passages, am enabled TO
speik with increased confidence OF the superior
advantages OF conveyng remedies directly 10 the
seat of the disease by Dsedicdfed Inhalation. The
most inveterate cases OF chronic casarrh. hoarse
ness, loss OF voice and other affections OF the
lungs and throat have been found 10 yield most
efectually 10 these direct and simple measures.
And in the worst cases OF Consumpti ion. where
there Is hope OF cure, IL never fails TO reliey'
the most urgent symptoms and afford the create
est comfort and relief. g. Ill.
Persons at distance can be treated by letter.
