Rats and Incendiarism.

Fire Marshal Whitcomb, of Boston, has been experimenting with rats and matches, shut up together in cage, in order to ascertain whether they were likely to cause fires or not. In the ab- sence of other known causes, frequent fires have been ascribed to their agency, while at the same time many underwriters affected to scoff at the idea. The question may, however, now be considered as settled. The very first night that Marshal Whitcomb's rats were left alone with the matches, four fires were caused, and not day passed while the experiment was being tried that fires were not set in this way. The rats were well fed, but they seemed to find something in the phos-- phorus that they liked. It was noticed that only the phosphorus ends were gnawed, and in nearly every instance the matches were dragged away from the spot where they had been laid.- Fire and Water.

HeaIthfuI Effect of Onions.

It is pity that onions have the odor that kthey do, for their dietetic and medicinal qualities are excellent. Boil ed and roasted onions are a good specific for cold on the chest, cough, cold and clogging of the bronchial tubes. A medical writer recommends the eating of young, raw onions by children three or four times a week, and of boiled and roasted onions when they get too strong to be eaten raw. Another writer says that during un- healthy seasons, when diphtheria and like contagious diseases prevail, onions ought to be eaten in the spring of the year at least once week." The effect of onions is invigorating and prophy- tactic in the extreme, and one phy- sician goes so far as to say that the eating of onions has actually prevented children from having diphtheria and scarlatina - Good Housekeeping.

 in Capturing Wild Horses.
 J. T. Hill, at the present time live stock agent for the Chicago & Alton, and who for many years has been en- gagged in cattle-raising in Texas and the Indian Territory, remarked to a re- porter: 'In the early days of the cattle business in Texas, from 1857 to 1860, the ranges were overrun by bands of wild horses. These animals were a great nuisance, as they would get mixed with our loose horses and run them off when any one approached. As a rule they were a rough, ill., shaped set of beasts, and almost un- tamable, so that few attempts were ever made to catch them, it being con- sidered best to shoot them on sight and thus get rid of a disturbing influence in our horse herds. Some times, however, really fine animal would be seen and the ranch men would try hard to secure it. But the ordinary mode of capture, lassoing, could seldom be used against wild horses, and these beasts were very shy, and even a poor horse, carrying n O weight could nutstrip a very fine animal with a man on his back. l have chased wild horses a hundred times, and have become thoroughly convinced of the truth of the English racing say ing that the weight of stable key will win or lose a race.
 ''1n this extremity the Texans used to resort to means of capturing the horses which is, believe, exclusively American. It was discovered, do not know how, that blow upon particular sinew in a horses neck, located just above where the spine joins the skull, would paralyze the animal temporarily without doing it any permanent injury. In those days the Texans were nearly without exception fine shots, and at short range could send rifle ball with phenomenal accuracy. The horses could not be approached ex- cept on foot, and it was impossible to catch them on horseback. But, not to be overcome by any such difficulties, the cowboys discovered a way to capture them. Taking his rife, a hunter would crawl through the thick chaparral until within fifty or sixty yards of the horse he desired to secure. Then, taking careful aim, he would endeavor to send a bullet through the top of the neck so as to strike the sinew. When this was properly done the horse would fall as If struck by lightning and remain in- sensible for ten or fifteen minutes, re- covering completely in an hour or two,
