Rats's Teeth.

The rat is finely equipped for the pecu-
liar life he is ordained to lead. He has
strong weapons, in the shape of four
long and very sharp teeth-two in the
upper jaw and two in the lower. These
teeth are wedge-shaped, and, by won
derful provision of nature, have always
a fine sharp cutting edge. On examin-
ing them carefully, the inner part is
found to be of a soft, ivory-like compo-
sition, which can easily be worn away,
and the outside is composed of a glass
like enamel, which is exceedingly hard
The upper teeth work into the under, so
that the centres Of the opposed teeth
meet perfectly IN the act of knawing,
hence the soft part is being continually
worn away, while the hard part keeps a
sharp, chisel-like edge all the time, and
at the same time the teeth are constantly
growing up from the bottom, SO that as
they wear away fresh supply is ready

A Trick in Rife Shooting.

"No, sir, l do not claim to be an ex-
pert at fancy shooting" said Captain
Jack Crawford, in answer to the
Arounder's inquiry. "There is too much
trickery-a sort of sleight- hand bust
ness connected with it. | do pretend to
be crack shot, and to excel in accuracy
and rapidity with a Winchester rifle.
The Winchester Arms Company have
offered repeatedly to back me for S., 600
against any man in the world in that
sort of skill. | have fired twelve shots
in three and half seconds. But here.
let me enlighten you as to one of the
neat little tricks used in fancy shoot
ing Here the scout produced what ap-
peared to be, as he held it at a distance,
a brass shell tipped with a leaden ball.
Looks like bullet, don't itl" he said,
with a laugh "Well, it isn't. 1t is
simply papier-mache protuberance ap-
propriately colored to look like lead.
Now, I'll show you what's behind il.
Picking open the end he disclosed to
view a quantity of shot-about POO. he
said, were in the shell, with just enough
powder in the butt to do the work.
"How are these usedl You have
probably witnessed the feat of cracking
glass balls thrown in the air 10y shooting
at them with a Winchester, and while
riding a horse going at a gallop. Well.
that's the kind of bali cartridge that
IS used, and the spectators look on with
wonder and admiration, supposing that
il is done with a single ball and that is
something, my boy, that no man in the
world has ever done or will do, because
it is physical impossibility. ."-BuRaio

The White House Tables.

! The fare and table customs at the
| White House are briefly described in the
/ Washington Critic as follows: Break
| fast is served at the White House at nine
o'clock on week days, and half hour
later on sundays. 1t is big meal with
the President and q hearty foundation
for the day. Generally the y, -nu covers
half dozen dishes-three or four yari-
cites of meat, usually game course,
potatoes, etc, pretty much as anybody
with good appetite would order in a
tirSt-casS hotel. The President drinks
coffee at these early feasts, but the pretty
mistress of the mansion likes tea with
her toast, chops, soft boiled eggs and
other appetizing dishes. Very rarely
Mrs. Cleveland takes any other beverage
than the tea and milk. The President
likes glass of milk also in the morning,
and between chatting over their second
cups of tea aud coffee they manage to
while away say half hour at the first
meal of the day.
Luncheon Is served promptly at half
past one, and il there be a guest, at two
o'clock. 1t is a midday dinner to all in
tents and purposes, but little time is
wasted in its discussion. The meau one
day lately-a fair ample of the average
was pair sof pheasants, sweetbreads,
Saratoga chips, cold ham, chocolate cake
and cream and milk and tea.
Dinner is usually served in about six
courses, with all the Accomplishments of
flowers and lighted candles, and the
President while by no means a heavy
eater, does entire justice to every dish
he happens to like, from the soup to the
walnuts. Mrs. Cleveland has a good
appetite, and has few likes or dislikes,
enjoying bit of nearly everything
which comes to the table. They both
like the dinner served promptly, and
are rarely over a half hour at table.
The President drinks wine at dinner,
but very sparingly. Mrs. Cleveland
does not touch drop stronger than
Apollinaris at table. Both of them are
easy to please, aud neither ever knows
beforehand what is 10 be served The
steward buys what he pleases, and all
the President cares is to see the food put
On the table in generous quantities.
two-thirds of the dishes will
leave the table untouched, but he wants
10 have the usual number kept up right
straight along.
"Mr>. Cleveland has some old
fashioned notions about Sunday, and
wants the servants work for that day
essened as much as possible She al
ways has cold lunch, and has it served
up in the quickest, simplest way, so that
he servants can have long afternoon
md evening to themselves. "

FARM AND GARDEN.
GrnnInr Grann Vines.

Dig away the ground around the vine
until smooth place is found on the stem,
cut 1t off smoothly and insert one OF
more scions MS in cleft grating, bandage
unless the stock is strong enough to hold
the scion W thout, press the earth around
the cut and fill up to the top of the scion.
Another way is TO make slautiug cut
downward toward the middle Of the
stock, cut the scion to a wedge and push
IT down on one side so as to Join the
bark Of the stock in this case the stock
need not be cut off until you are sure
the scion has started. Grating above
ground may be done in the same manner
by draw ng the earth up around the
graft and removing it after the scion and
stock are permanently joined, but graft
ing below the surface is the most certain
way, and March and April are the usual
months. Propagating the vine by layers
aud cuttings is the easiest and most com
mon method. -Mew York World.

Details in Poultry Raising.


there are many little details connected
with poultry raising which, if neglected,
VIII Affect the profits most decidedly.
An important matter is thrift. The
fowls should be kept in perfect health.
All the droppings uuder the roost should
be carefully saved, and kept dry and
under cover. This will be useful for the
crop OF corn the following season. When
flock of 100 hens is kept and 200 or 400
chickens are raised, the feathers will be
found to be of no small account They
can be sold for cash, or will be received
IN exchange by the tin peddler for wares
from his cart. Use economy in feeding
giving oaly what will be eaten clean St
each meal. From the growing stock Gull
INC cockerels as soon as they are in con-
ultion to Kill for market; all food given
after that time is fed at a loss. 1t is con-
ssiuered best by some 10 Kill all yearling
>Qens IN August or September before they
begin to moult, for the first is the best
laying season, and then it will be neces-
sary to make room for the growing
pullets.
On the management of the growing
stock much of the profits depend. If
not kept clean and in small 1ocks to pre-
vent crowding, and the coops kept dry
and free from vermin, their growth
will be checked and much loss
VIII result. a too common practice
among farmers is to throw down to their
iowls broken ears of corn, enough for
them to pick from for day or two, Civ
ing little of anything else and then they
wonder why the hens don't Law better.
Common stock that is not kept specially
Tor laying. but to kill for market, can
bear corn diet and will fatten on il, but
the fowls will appear dull and not have
the bright appearance of LAYING pullet.
The more the food of the laying hens is
varied the letter will be their health and
consequent increase in the production of
eggs. Another very important point is
their breeding condition in spring. They
should be free from excessive fat he
bright, active, and in perfect health.
a good system of winter feeding for
best results is to have the food eady
about daylight The kettle kept for the
purpose should be put on the stove with
water or milk, together with all accumu-
iations OF potato and apple parings, a
Ilttle SAT- and pepper, and a good allow
ance OF beef scraps. When this boils,
ihicken with equal quantities of fine
mill-feed and cOrn-meal. At noon give
some cabbage, beets, aud finely cut row
en- changing from one to another on
alternate days. A great aid to the thrift
OF the fowls is to either furnish a place
for them TO scratch in for grain among
leaves, or give them the chafT from the
barn floor from which they will pick
much seed and broken clover leaves. of
which they are very fond. d.-Ameri-an

HEALTH HINTS.

Breathing the fumes Of turpentine ol
carbolic acid is said to relieve whooping'
cough.
Clam broth is said to be excellent for
weak stomach, and ginger ale for
stomach cramps.
Baths, gymnastics and mountain climb
ing are prescribed by German physicians
for heart disease.
In some forms Of headache, towel or
a napkin, wrung out of hot water, as hot
ms can be borne, and wound around the
head affords relief.
A remedy for catarrh is to gather hops
when perfectly dry, and sift the pollen
or "fiourn through Swiss muslin. Use
as a snuff early in the morning or on re-
firing at night.
A bit of soft paper is recommended by
an English doctor for dropping medi-
cines into the eye as being equally effec-
tive as brushes, glass droppers, etc, and
far less likely TO introduce foreign sub
stances.
For bunions, get five cents worth of
saltpetre and put it into n bottle with
sufficient olive oil TO nearly dissolve it,
shake up WELL and rub the intlamed
joints night aud morning, and more
frequently if painful.
When the feet are swollen from walk
ing or long standing, the soreness may
be relieved by soaking them in the fol-
lowing: Take some wood ashes and
cover with water; let it stand for two or
three hours; strain of the water and
place the feet in it, The soreness will
disappear almost Immediately.

How TO Raise Onions.

Any ordinary soil, when properly en-.
riched, win grow onions. An alluvial
bottom land, properly drained. or free
from standing moisture, will answer
best One hundred barrels of onions to
the acre is a fair crop, though it will
sometimes go up to fifty more. The
crop will of course depend upon the
cultivation. Rich land, well looked
after, will produce twice as much as half
the farm gardens by the methods usually
employed in them. The manure NAV be
hauled on during the winter and plowed
IN the spring. The earlier the seed can
be got into the ground in the spring the
oettcr, for if the plants do not get a
good start before the hot, dry weather
comes on, they do not do so well. The
ground must be brought into fine filth.
and then rolled fat; the latter is of
much importance in securing a good set
OF plants. The seed should. for field
culture, be drilled in rows. one foot apart
IN the rows, for convenience of cnlti.
Vatlon. The crop is often placed in beds
OF five rows each, eighteen inches being
left for an alley.
The covering of the seed is best accom-
plished with light roller. drawing if
lengthwise of the lines. This rollinS is
also beneficial to the crop. Four hounds
OF seed are required for an acre. and II
must be sown by machine and known to
be good.
On'on sets are sometimes used instead
oil seed to grow the crop of ripe. keepino
onions. In this case, seed is first sow1 .
as before but the rows need not be more |
than six or nine inches apart and the seed {
should be put in twice as thick as for n
crop OF market onions. Besides keeping
them clean of weeds the principal aim IS
TO induce the formation of perfect min.
nature onion. If not obtained, then early
IN August the crop is all pulled up and
ial9 IN rows on the ground, roots, tops
and all. In the ripening which follows,
small, perfect onion is formed which
IS the set. After these sets have been
dned and cleaned they can be readily
Kept until Spring when, being planted
out, they will furnish a fine CROP of either
early green onions or ripe ones later ON.
Those who find any difficulty in raising
marketable onions from seed can ALWAYS
succeed by sets
For Spring onions or pickles, the Silver
skinned is best; for heavy crops. Yellow

Pharaoh's Tomb.

When the tomb of the Rameses H.,
the pharaoh" Of the Bible, was discov-
cred and its contents made known to the
world, among the many curions and val
liable articles it contained were found
some images of porcelain, called shubti.
For more than 5000 years these images
had remained where those hands had
placed them, which were mouldered into
dust centuries ago. 1t was a custom of
that time for the friends at-the funeral
ceremonies to place little images of por.
celan, representing servants, in the tomb
of the deceased, in order that at the great
awakening he should not want for help.
