from what it was to a point the size of

Notre Dame growing from what it is to a
ball the size of my fist. / saw the people
first the size of men, then as small as
dolls, and finally look like black pins

"By this time l grew. quite sick, and
fell back in my seat and shut my eyes,
and thought l was smothered; oh, so
smothered. / tried to breathe and catch
the air, which was to me receding, with
my mouth and with my hands, so, so. !"
Hereupon Mdlle. Aimee threw herself
back in her easy chair, shut her eyes, and
clutched with her hands, which were eX-
tended above her head, like the proverbial
drowning man catching at straw. "Then
the balloon began to go down again, and

conductor said we were out of danger,

Boiling a Couple of Rats.


The warehouses of Moore Brothers,
grocers, at Camden, have been for some
weeks past overrun with rats, which, it is
supposed, came from the sewer which
runs alongside the building. They be-
came so bold that even when persons
were at work in the warehouse they would
continue their depredations until chased
away by the employees with clubs. Poi
son in various ways was used, but with
out avail Cats failed to scare them off,
and Il black and-tan terrier which occu-
pied the premises for several days was
only too glad to make his escape.
The firm was almost disheartened, when
the elder brother, Edward Moore, put
into execution plan which has worked
like charm. He set two traps in the
warehouse, temptingly baited with roasted
cheese, and was rewarded on Thursday
last by their being occupied by two gi-
gantic rats He then bought two toy
bells, and fastened them with wire. one
around the neck of one of the rats, and
the other to the others tail, The tinkling
of the bells attached to the rats, which
were then releases, had the effect of so
soaring the other rats that not one has
been seen in the warehouse since

The Fnrm Repair-shon.

w. H. NJ, Germantown, Pa Every farm,
no matter how small in extent, ought, in my
humble opinion, to have a repair shop where
tools are kept and wagons and implements
can be repaired and house and farm convent
ences made On small farms the wagon-house
with a little planning, can be made to serve
the three-fold purpose of sheltering the wagons
and large pieces of farm machinery, with a
work or repair shop partitioned off in one cor
ner. In such work room l have seen a work
bench on one side near a window, with shelves
and brackets to hold tools and racks for small
farm implements, such as hoes, rakes and the
like. Here the farmer and his boys may
with the assistance of a set of carpenters
and blacksmiths tools, add largely to
the profit side of the farms balance
sheet, not only by the early repairing
Of tools, machinery and harness, but during
the winter months, by the fashioning of num-
berless conveniences for the dwelling house
The repair house, in sections where fuel is
plentiful ought to be provided with a stove
An inexpensive, small, tight one, with a
secure pipe let into a substantial chimney
win render it a comfortable shop for the
workmen and afford such fire as may be re-
quired in blacksmith work"
