FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
To Trap Rats.

The editor of the Rurul Nev Yorker
has discovered a new method for catch
ing rats il u steel trap. After setting it
so it will spring easily, in any convenient
place where the rodents ''most do con-
grcgatc," q piece Of thin white muslin
about two feet square, more or less, is
spread over the trap and over this arc
scattered carclessly a few cookcy, cake
or cheese crumbs. Having no fear of
evil from a white cloth, in eating the
crumbs, the rats arc sure to get into the
trap, and the cloth does not prevent the
trap from holding them. When the
cloth becomes soilcd or bloody it should
be changed for a fresh onc. The editor
says the oldest and wiscst rats are caught
as easily as the younger ones, and several
are often caught in quick succession in
the same trap set in the same place. The
method is certainly worthy of trial.
The Abbeville messenger. (Abbeville, S.C.) 1884-1887, 1886-04-20

and when baked, cool separately, and
you have cookies you need not fear to
have criticised.
Jeuied Chicken.-Boil n chicken until
the meat slips easily from the bones, re-
ducing the water to about one pint in the
boiling. Pick off the meat in good sized
pieces, taking out all the fat and bones.
Skim the fat from the liquor, add a little
butter, pepper and salt to taste, and add
one-half an ounce of gclatinc. When
this dissolvcs pour it hot over the chicken.
The liquor should be seasoned highly, as
the chicken absorbs much of the flavor.
fta'" Pastry for Family Usc.-Plain
pastry, quite %palatablc Gndccd preferred
ny some to the richer sort), is made very
much as you do soda biscuits, viz, to.
two quarts of flour allow half a pound of
butter and lard, made up into q moder-
ately stiff dough with a pint of sour.
cream or buttermilk, in which has been
dissolved half a ~teaspoonful of carbonate
OF soda; knead only enough to mix we'll,
roll out, and with it line your pie plates.

Ancient Writing Material.

When the Prophet Ezekiel was COM
mandcd to write about the city of Jeru-
salem, he was compelled to write his ac-
count on smooth tiles, and we find frag-
mcnts of such tiles to this day. The
heaps of broken pots and crockery of all
sorts, which arc low so abundant in all
Eastern towns, prove that bits of smooth
stone or tiles were constantly used for
this purpose. The Island of E~lcphantinc,
on the Nile, is said to have furnished
more than a hundred such specimens.
One Of these is a soldiers leave of alb
scncc, scribblcd on n fragment of an old
vase. How little those scribcs and nc
countants imagined the interest with
which their descendants would one day
treasure their rough notes! Still quaint
or were the writing materials of those an
cicnt Arabs who, before the time of
Mohammcd, used to carve their annals
IN the shoulder-blade of sheep. The
''shccp-chroniclcs'' were strung together,
and thus preserved. After awhile sleeps
bones were replaced by sleeps skin, and
the manufacture of parchment was
brought to such perfection rs to place it
among the rcfnements of art. We hear
of vellums that were tinted yellow, others
white. Others were dyed of a rich pur-
pie; and the writing thereon was in gold
en- ink, with gold borders and many
colorcd decorations. These precious
manuscripts were anointcd with the oil of
cedar to preserve them from moths. We
hear Of one such in which the name of
Mohammed is adorned with garlands of
tulips md carnations painted in vivcd
colors. Still more precious was the silky
paper of the Pcrsians, powdered with
gold and silver dust, whercon were
painted rare Nominations; while the
book was pcrfumed with after of roses OF
essence Of sandalwood. OF the demand
for writing materials, Il may form some
faint notion from the vast manuscript
libraries of which records have been pre-
served, as having been collected by the
Caliphs both of the East and the West,
the former in Bagdad, the latter in An
dalusia, where there were eighty great
public libraries, besides that vast one at
Cordova. We also hear of private libra
ries, such as that of a physician who de-
clincd ar invitation from the Sultan of
Bokhara, because the carriage of his
books would have required 400 camels.

A Noble Brute.

j. E. Walter, master of train services
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
has n dog he values highly. The dog is
a Newfoundland, and has been raised by
his owner from a small puppy. Mr..
Walter has a little girl who is fond of
tho animal, and the affection between
the two is Interesting. A few mornings
since the little girl was left in the room
alone by a large fire in the CRATE. She
went to near the blaze, and the dog open
cd the door and entered. He went to
her and began to pull her away by catch
ing her clothing in his teeth. The two
companions played about the room for
some time, until the little child grew
tired and sleepy. She went to near the
fire again, and the dog could not get her
away. He pulled at her clothes for some
time, but could not arouse her.
He then hurried to her mothers room
and began to act strangely by rubbing
against her hand and catching her dress,
pulling her toward the door. She carcss-
ed him and told him to go away and find
little Nellie. He made a strange whin-
ing noise with his mouth and then slowly
walked back to where the little one was
sleeping, unconscious of her danger.
The dog made another attempt to rouse
her and failed. He then crouchcd down
beside her, between her and the fire,
taking care to protect her we'll. Mrs.
Walter entered the room a few minutes
later and found the noble dog in this po-
sition whining and crying, while the hair
was being singed from his back. Little
Nellie was sleeping sweetly. -Birmiag-

He was Too Generous.

Old Gent (irmly)-Pardon me, but !
cannot permit such noble self-sacrifce.
Young Gent Every much flurried)-1
was speaking about marrying Agnes-I
know her
Old Gent (much affected)--My poor
boy, you do not know her appetite. The
butchers bills alone are simply colossal.
If you take her, in simple justice I must
make you an allowance of one hundred
a year. 1t will partly pay the annual
bill for pies.
Young Gent @gonized)--Thank you,
sir, I will-er-I will see you later.
Clashes madly out, while old gent re-
sumes paper with strange smile.-CaA.

Tie IMPOSSIBLE.

Man cannot draw water from an empty well
Nor trace the stories that gossips tell,
Nor gather the scunds of u pealing bell.
Man never can stop the pillows roar,
Nor change the winds till they blow no more
Nor drive true love from a maiden's door.
Man cannot o'ertake a fleeting lie,
Change his wheat to a field of rye,
Nor call back years that have long gone by
Man cannot u cruel word recall,
Fetter q thought, be it great or small,
Nor honey extract from a drop of gall.
MAJ never can bride old Father Time,
Gain the peak that he cannot climb,
Nor trust the hand that hath done a crime.
Mar never can backward turn the tide,
Nor count the stars that are scattered wide,
Nor find in u fool a trusty guide.
Man cannot reap fruit from worthless seed,
Rely for strength on a broken reed,
Nor gain a heart he hath caused to bleed.
Man never can hope rue peace to win,
Pleasure without and Joy within,
Living a thoughtless life of sin
