A Nightmare.

In the swaling swirl of the soughful wind,
as the gust goes glSoring by, sit by the bols
of bournful birch, with moan and a soul
full sigh; the mellowng mists of the eve are
low, and the frog in the dankful marsh
chirps chirpngly sad in the ghoulsome
gloom, in a swivering voice and harsh:
o, where is the swing of the swoonful swish
And the voice Of the film fam fowl?
Methinks it means from the murky mold.
From the home of the hootful owl
Now swivel me swift from the surSing
spring, I'm weary of void and wind: the
grewsome graik of the jabberwock comes
jmmering to my mind; the feeble song Of
the spotsome frog comes solemnwise, sough-
ing slow, and again hear by the bournful
birch the wall of his wimpled woe:
o, where is the swing of the swoonful swish,
From the land Of the sprngful sprole.
Must the blue mists blur on the tinker's drale,
And freight with their fraught my soul!

Ferrets for DISCRIMINATING Rats,

There is no denying the fact that fer
rets can do the most sweeping work in
the way of exterminating rats of any
plan yet hit upon. Ny house used to be
infested with the largest and most impu-
dent class of this species of pests. Some
of them were audicious enough to dispute
ownership of the kitchen with the cooks.
About month ago purchased two fer
rets, brought them home, fxed them a
comfortable abode in the kitchen and
awaited results. During the first day
the little animals remained in their quar-
ters, but about o'clock In the evening
they both disappeared. I saw nothing
more of them until o'clock the next
morning, when one Of them put In an ap-
pearance at headquarters and was fol
lowed in about half an hour by the second.
The first arrival was little the worse
for wear. He had evidently had several
hard skir1nishes during the night. The
back of his neck was bitten, his breast
was scratched and one Of his eyes bulged
out like pillow in a broken window. I
had both washed thoroughly and they re-
manned quietly together most of the day.
As soon as darkness set in, however, they
both again disappeared, only to reappear
in the morning at their customary place
for their usual ablution. This programme
was kept up for about two weeks with
but little depression. In the meantime I
began to notice the absence Of my long
tailed and disagreeable enemies. They
failed to show up in their accustomed
haunts, and it was rarely that l ever en-
countered one of them in my tour about
the house, either by day or night. In
short, these two little ferrets have cleared
the premises so effectually that would
almost venture to offer a good sized re-
ward for the scalp of rat found in my
house.-F. s. Andrews in Globe Democrat

Chance for an Inventor.

A prominent Minnesotan once said that
it made him inexpressibly sad to see the
richness Of the soil go away In the thou
sands of bushels of wheat, never toreturn.
If he had struck balance between the
wheat sent out and the dollars sent In,
and with this in his pocket gone down the
river about two miles below the suspen-
sion bridge, and gazed over the bank into
the Mississippi, he would have seen q
sight that would have made him so much
sadder that he would doubtless weep from
anguish. ,4 ..4. 80

of chutes from the top of the bluff to the

stantly flowing three inch stream Of
water. These, except for the wasted wa
ter, are innocent enough, but down these eae
chutes go each day from 500 to l'ooo
wagon loads of the richest manure.
Is this of SO little value as fertilizer
for the decreasing richness OF the SOL, Or
;s the need of fertilizing the whole Missls-
sinni river so great that this is the best
disposition to make of this? Oh, for an
