How to Exterminate Rats.

The following hints on an oft discussed
domestic question, which may prove of
benefit to more than one perplexed house
keeper, We copy from an exchange
An attempt to catch rats by traps, or by
poisoning them suddenly, will fail. Old
rats know too much and can only be taught
by kindness. To destroy them give them
a good meal every day. Do not put poison
in the food, but simply prepare dish for
them daily, as free lunch, composed of
corn meal moistened with milk, into which
an egg aud little salt Ito season. has been
beaten. They will soon try little, and in
a week or ten days they will expect it, and
every rat on the place will partake of the
treat. Give them plenty of it SO as to in
duce all the rats in the neighborhood to
join in. Do not be in hurry to poison
them. As soon as they have thrown off
all suspicion go to your druggist, get some
phosphorus paste, or other rat poison, mix
it with the food, and be sure you give
them enough and something to spare, SO
as to induce all to eat. They viii either
be killed or become SO suspicious of all
other food as to leave, and not rat win
remain. Hence, to destroy rats take plen-
ty of time, gain their confidence, and finish
them when they least expect it.

Eating Too Much.

From the Rural New Yorker
The average farmer and farm laborer are
chargeable with two failings, which injure
health and shorten life, both heirlooms of
barbarous feudal age. They eat too much
and bathe too little. Some of the food is
Objectionable as to the quality, but the
quality is less harmful than the quantity.
The farmers outdoor life gives him Wig
orous appetite, and not enough restraint is
exercised against an excess. His table
drinks, too (Which may be classed as part
of his food), are also Objectionable, being
very generally strong tea and coffee The
drink failing is particularly prevalent
among the females. When person re-
CARDS strong tea or coffee as an absolute
necessity for meal, it is, in itself, a bad
sign. An appetite for an unhealthy stim-
illus is fastened on the stomach, and the
path to disease is short and easy. Natures
simplicity is gone, and in its place are ner-
vousness, changing moods, and tendency
to enjoy other stimulants, such as the most
highly seasoned foods and condiments,
and, not infrequently, intoxicating drinks.
Children yet in arms are brought up to tea
and coffee, and the whole range Of condi-
ments, along with pie and cake to any ex-
tent, aud their tender stomachs are disor-
ganized at an early age. Then when
dangerous disease sets in-dyspepsia, heart
burn, frequent collie, hatulency, nausea,
etc., the child is weakly" unable to work,
and, an early death is regarded as Gan in
scrutable dispensation of an all-wise Provi-
dence." There are thousands to-day half
broken down, prematurely old, complain
ing that "food does them no good, or that
it "distresses them, and who are running
after the doctor, or swallowing. quack med
icines, who could yet be cured by proper
system of diet. Some, it is true, are too
far gone, and yet hardly one in thousand
will listen with patience to kind remon-

drink all the rum and other ire-water they
can lay their hands on, the Fuegans will
take no alcohol of any kind, but, when Of
fered it, turn away with the same appear
ance of disgust that dog will show under
similar circumstances, in this way, among
others, showing how they stand in the
scale of humanity. Tobacco, however,
they greatly appreciate.
On this occasion the passengers of the
"Aconcaguap were not disappointed in
their desire to see the natives. Several
canoes were shooting out to meet them,
and in one of them they saw to their in
tense surprise white man standing up,
and heard him shouting to them in Eng
lish to ''stop, for Gods sake p OF course
they stopped The canoes came alongside,
and the white man was hauled up on deck
without the slightest opposition from the
Fuegans, and indeed by their evident de-
sire
On reaching the deck Thorold tainted.
He was carried away and attended to by
the doctor and the natives, we may be
sure got q good toll that day Several
barrels were dropped over the ships side,
laden with all things that the savages
could desire.
The rescued man soon recovered sufi-
ciently to tell his wonderful story. He
was taken to Valparaiso, and thence back
again to England in the steamship "Gali-
cia," as distressed British seamen.
During the first part of the voyage his
mental faculties appeared to be good deal
weakened He would frequently hang
over the bulwarks in sort of stu2or, and
the doctor ordered any one who saw him
in this state at once to approach him and
touch him, and ask him what he was
thinking Of, until he answered them.
And the answer that came at last was
always the same
II was thinkin' of how the faces of my
mates looked when them savages was muir

There is only one sure road to Success
the one made by the habits of self-reliance
People who have been bolstered up all their
lives are seldom good for anything in a
crisis. When misfortune comes, they look
around for somebody to cling to or lean
upon. If the prop is not there, down they
go. Once down they are as helpless as
capsized turtle, and they cannot find their
feet again without some assistance. Such
men no more resemble men who have
fought their way to positions, making diff
culties their stepping stones and deriving
determination from their defeat, than vines
resemble oaks, or sputtering rushlights the
stars Of heaven. Efforts persisted into
achievements train man to selfreliance,
and when he has proven it the world will
trust him.

Why this longing. this forever signing
For the far-off, unattained and dim,
While the beautiful, all around thee lying,
Offers up its low perpetual hymn!
would'st thou listen to its gentle teaching,
All thy restless yearnings it would still;
Leaf and flower and laden bee are preaching,
Thine own sphere, though humble, first to FILL
Poor indeed thou must be, If around thee
Thou no ray of light and Joy canst throw,
If no silken cord of love hath bound thee
To sore little world through veal and woe;
If no dear eyes thy fond love can brighten.
No fond voices answer to thine OWL;
If no brothers sorrow thou canst tighten,
By daily sympathy and gentle tone.
Not by deeds that gain the worlds applauses,
Not by works that win thee world renown.
Not by martyrdom or gaunted crosses,
Canst thou win and wear the immortal crown.
Daily struggling though unloved and lonely,
Every day a rich reward will give;
Thou wilt find by hearty striving only,
And truly loving thou canst truly live.
Dost thou revel IN the rosy morning.
When all nature halls the Lord of light,
And His smile, nor low nor lofty scorning.
Gladdens hall and hovel, vale and height.
Other hands may grasp the field and forest,
Proud proprietors in pomp may shine,
But with fervent love If thou adorest
Thou art wealthier-all the world is thine
Yet if through earth's wide domain thou rovest,
Signing that they are not thine alone,
Not those fair fields, but thyself thou lowest,
And their beauty and thy wealth are gone.
