shop one is not allowed to enter, but
Mr.. Prescotts intellectual laboratory
has been opened to the public by his
friend and biograpber, Mr.. George
Iicknor, and he is, perhaps, the only
modern. historian whose methods of
work had been made known before the
autobiography of Sir Archibald Alison
appeared and the historian of modern
Europe has told the world how this
work grew into form and comeliness
under his hand.
Some points between these two writ
ers are worth bringing out, and Dr.
Prescott shall be first upon the witness
stand. Prescott and Alison were ia al
most equal circumstances, so far as DO
sition goes. Each deliberately chose a
literary life, and while the one had in

hours of work, the other was obliged to

that he might increase his daily income.

Killing Rats by Electricity,

Ralph Corbit, an ingenious l5-year-old
boy of Honey brook, Chester county, has
devised novel plan of getting rid of
the rats which invest his fathers 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
connection between the outside and in
side of the jars and they are discharged
through his body killing him literally AZ
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 door to the
cellar from the room above, and rs soon
az he would hear y rat squeak hc would
Immediately recharge The battery. The
first time he pat the machine in opera
ton he slaughtered twenty-five rats III
n space of three hours, and in two days
the cellar was entirely cleared of the
pests. - IPtst Chester (Pd.) Local.

MIX for Poor People,

Occasionally an item has appeared ID
the Tribune about the value Of goats as a
source of supply of milk tor various uses
chiefly for invalids and babes. In response
to inquiries upon this subject, Mr.. J. s.
Goe, OF Pennsylvania, writes that some
years ago MIR. Van Amherg imported pair
Of Assyrian goats, the only pair ever in
America. The male died, and the eve or
! doe passed into the possession of Mr. Goe,
who al one time owned a number OF An
gOras. The Assyrian eve was bred to the
AngOra bucks, and dropped from two to
three kids each time. Her flow of milk
was so great as to be troublesome, since
she gave half Q gallon of rich milk per
day for some time after having raised and
weaned two or three kids, although efforts
were made to dry her flow of milk.
The does from the pure Assyrian were
large mixers, but as their large flow was
An Objectionable feature rather than other.
wise, since the object of their owner was
to obtain fleece rather than milk, they were
disposed of to showmen and TO parties for
the plains OF the west who wanted them
for crossing with Mexican goats. There
was no inducement 10 continue breeding
for milk, as, although many men inquired
for milking goats, they were never willing
to pay tor them as good prices as showmen
would give. The result has been that ami
mails from which very valuable breed
might have been formed have been widely
scattered. BY most Americans the idea of
keeping goats for milk is received with
amusement If not with that ridicule
with which many are inclined e welcome
matters OF which they are ignorant. The
fact Is that even in so modern and thor
oughly American city as Chicago hun
dreds of goats are kept to supply milk for
those who could not but for these animals
afford such luxury. Physicians in this
as well as IN other lands have repeatedly
declared that the milk Of the goat is, for
the use of infants and lnvalids, very supe-
rior to that from the COW, while for healthy
adults It is certainly fully as good. 1t may,
however, be as well TO frankly admit that
although the males usually make good
buffers, the milk does not yield good
butter.
