To relieve pain, a cloth wrung out in
either hot or cold water and applied to
any aching part will almost invariably
bring relief in a short time. The cloth
should be changed often if hot water
is used, and folded flannel laid over
the wet cloth to keep the outer garments
from becoming too damp.

The Cotton Rat.

The cotton rat, says correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, is about the
size of the common ground squirrel. The
tail is shorter than the body, and the
ears are broad and rounded. The color
above is dark yellowish brown; beneath,
ashy. The head and body measure six
inches in length. This is the common
wood and field rat of the South, being
found abundantly in all the States south
of Virginia, and westward into Mexico.
1t is nocturnal species, although seen
abroad at all hours. 1t digs shallow bur-
rows in the ground, often twenty five
yards in length, each of which is in
habited by single family. This rat
builds a nest of grass, or at times of cot
ton-hence its name-and brings forth
from four to six young several times
during the year. The young attain their
full growth in less than five months. 1t
runs rapidly, and is an excellent
swimmer and diver, like tho
wood rats generally. This is u gregari.
Gus species, large numbers being always
found near together. They make beaten
paths, which may be found leading in
every direction in old fields where the
rats are numerous.
1t does little or no damage to the
planter, being more of an inhabitant of
n-out fields and woods than of cul-
tivated grounds, and it is rather a friend
than an enemy of the agriculturist 1t
feeds upon the seeds of various grasses.
and also largely upon animal food.
Clay fish, various insects, wounded birds
and rats and mice, all enter largely into
its dietary. 1t will kill Florida rat of
twice its size in few seconds. and so
pugnacious is it that in captivity it will
destroy every rat and mouse put into its
cage, and even weaker individuals of its
own species. 1t is also very fond of
eggs, and destroys numbers of nests of
the quail and other birds which build
their nests upon the ground.
The cotton rat has host of enemies
to keep down its numbers. several species
Of birds and mammals feeding almost ex-
clusively upon it in the States in which
it is common. Ali the carnivorous ami
mails prey upon it and all the weasels are
its inveterate foes. Hawks of many
species, especially the marsh hawk, feed
largely upon it, and it feeds the young
of all the large owls found in the South
ern States This species is easily cap
tured in wire, steel or box traps; the
traps should be baited with piece of
meat, or the head of fowl, and be set
overnight; bat the destruction of this
rat, except in rare instances, is worse
than useless, the animal doing far more
good than harm to the farmer. 1t
breeds readily in captivity, and becomes
tame in confinement, and familiar with
those who feed and caress it.

Crabs Scared to Death.

"Why soft shell crabs are killed by
thunder storms" said Eugene q. Black
ford, ''has never, to my knowledge,
been scientifically explained. My theory
is that they are scared to death. You
know that the soft crab is the ordinary
blue hard crab that has just shed its
shell, and imagine the crab is then in
an extremely sensitive state. While in
that state and out of its element, if it can
see lightning or hear thunder, it almost
instantly dies. Whether on train, steam
boat, or in crates in the market rs pei
cent. of the crabs are killed by thun-
der storm. But if they are put in the
ice house and can only hear the slight
rumble of the thunder, we do not lose so
many, Every dealer in soft shell crabs,
the minute he sees the sky overcast,
bundles his crates Of soft crabs into his
thickest ice box, and until the storm
passes over speculates upon his probable
loss by the rumbling thunder. ."-New

The Chinese farmhouse is a curious.

with groves of feathery bamboo and
thick-spreading banyans. The walls are
of clay or wood, and the interior of the
house consists of one main room, extend

closet looking apartments in the corners

window on the roof, made of cut oyster

New YORK, December 1.-THE last
sad rites over the body of w. II. Van
derbilt were begun this morning, when
the body of the deceased was removed
from the ice box to the coffin, which
was then taken to the bed room on the
east side Of the house. Small groups Of
| people began to gather opposite the
| house before o'clock and shortly after
! s the groups increased TO small crowds
/ The crowd was orderly and the services
of the police were not needed. AS the
hour appointed for beginning the
| services approached, carriage after car
riage drove TO and left the occupants at.
the entrance. Each carriage bore a
coachman and footman, and
all those wore mourning liveries.
| Shortly Def re the immediate
family looked for the last time supon
the face of The deceased. The services,
conducted by Rev. DR.. Cook, were
simple and touching. consisting of
prayer, few words of remembrance,
and consolation. The coffin was then
closed and Mrs. Vanderbilt retired to
the apartment which she has occupied
since the death OF Mr.. Vanderbilt. The
coffin was raised upon the should ers Of
the undertaker's assistants, and pre-
coded by the clergyman and pail
bearers, borne down the broad stair
case, through the corridors and
through the open doors nevermore to
center.
At 9.45 the funeral cortege started for
the church. There were no crowds on
the streets through which it passed and
the police along the line almost out
numbered the sightseers. AT quarter
past 10 the-door of st. Bartholomew

bearing upon their shoulders the coffin,
paSSe down the centre aisle. Preced-
ing the coffin walked the pail bearers,
wearing white Sashes.~ The deep tones
of the organ were heard as the process
sion moved down the nave of the
crowded church. Rev. DIR. Samuel
Cook, accompanied by the assistant,
walked in advance OF the solemn
procession and read the well
known lines from the burial service.

to Hwhen thedoors of the church again
swung backward and the solemn pro-
cession returned to the street, when it
proceeded to the cemetery. No one
was admitted except the friends of the

revolver on himself and fired three
shots, but realizing that he had

thrust it in his neck. The blow was
so well aimed, and with such q savage

Brown who was then in his last agonies.
Benson, upon being raised up, quickly
said he hadn't had any dispute with
Brown; that he had known him for
