the counts life. Refusing any recompense at
first. he was in the end prevailed upon by the
count to accept some token of gratitude. and
asked to be made proprietor of the piece OF

count gladly consented. on condition, how
ever, that the peasant and his successors
were to appear at the castle every year on st.

The mOorand has long been converted into

Smiths Wonderful Electric Rat An.
nfhfIatOr.

There are indications of growing interest In
the use of electricity for Illuminating purposes.
The following record Of remarkable episode is
from the New York Times:
'The discovery that the wires of the electric
light form the most efficient of all rat-traps was
made accidentally. The electric light suddenly
went out one night in private house, and, on
examination, it was found that rat had
touched the two wires In the cellar and thus
closed circuit with his unsuspecting paws. The
rat was killed instantaneously by the electric
current, and his body remained, with one paw
uplifted, IN precisely the attitude In which
death overlook the unfortunate animal
1.-THE hint thus furnished has been used BY
Prof Smith, and is the basis of his electric rat
and mouse annihilator. Instead Of an elaborate
trap which rats and mice of any intelligence re-
fuse to enter, the Professor uses wires. On all
sides OF the cellar and at Q height OF two inches
from the ground is placed small wooden trough
eprinkled with cheese. while on each side of the
trough run the electric wires which furnish
light to the rest Of the house. The mice and
rats are naturally attracted by the cheese, and
IN endeavoring to reach 1t touch the two wires
and are instantly killed. This admirable inyen-
tlon Will clear house Of rats and mice In q sim
gle night, and In some places where It has been
tried no less than three gross ofaSsOrted rodents
nave been found the next morning standing In
hungry attitudes over the fatal trough. 1t is
obvious that this admirable invention will en-
tirely supersede the old-fashiOned traps, and
that It's universal adoption will lead to the total
determination o1Iate and mice"

Can any one telt what sdairying Is drifting to3
We hear of all sorts OF queer monstrosities,
from lard-cheese to cotton butter No man
knows what he eats II he buys It, Stimulation is
the spirit Of the age. and no end of science and
skill is employed to deceive. clever imitation
is what men prefer to produce. and the public
are led to devour. The simplicity Of genuine
ness is out Of the running as things 20 In the
world. The public must eat what is given
them. asking no questions. The oleomargarne
men have done az terrible lot Of mischief, and
offal is the god whom they delight to honor and
exalt. At all points they aim to circumvent the
dairymen and sw!fidle the public.
The taste OF the people is degraded By the
sham butter and cheese which seems to be real.
strange denominations which they ignorantly.
rather than innocently, swallow. This sort Of
thing is leading them they know not whittier
and posterity will pay the piper. 1t is no longer
that which cometh out of, but that which goeth
into. the mouth that defiles. Meats and drinks
of many kinds are not what they pretend to be-
and there is a good deal of tricks that are
dark in what passes for dairy goods.
Whose fault is this? Well. in great part the
dairymen's, for they have spoiled good milk.
They have given an opening for the shoddy men
of the dairy, who are growing rich out of offal
The law complacentiy let's men sell what they
like, and the sham Is, often enough, better than
the real one. Shoddy sells well enough to be
CdIeiuIly Iuaue anu So the makers OF counter
felt butter and cheese do flourish. Darymen
who make inferior butter and cheese no matter
how real the goods may be, are out Of the run
ming entirely. If only the palate of the public
is suited, it matters not II the article be real or
pretended. so careless dairymen can hardly make
ends meet and tie" But one thing is clear:
the makers of really frst-class cheese and butter
can hold their own and will hold their own
against the nefariOus stuff that is made In any
and every country: weeding-out process is
going on, and goods which are mere simuatlons
will take the place 80 long occupied by the pro-
ducts OF milk that was spoiled. IT. then. the
oleolnargarine business, the melted tallow and
other less creditable things, shall result in
methods we shall have reason after all to be-
grateful to men for whom few of US entertain
feelings that approach to respect or affection.
But let the public have fair protection. let
men will win-if they want to; and If they don't
