Getting Rid of Rats.

The amount of destruction caused by
under the stables, cannot be estimated
by one who has not been called upon to
fight the vermin at q disadvantage
through the long months of winter AS
in the house, 50 in the barn, rats and
mice are natural and unavo idable
punishment for neglect carolcssness, or
want of skill In bringing the corn and
grain in from the fields aud storing it
away in the fall, it is almost impossible
to prevent the introduction OF several of
these nuisau ces; but if precautions are
taken they can be exterminated before
any serious harm is done. Every hole
or hiding place in the floor of the barn
or crib should be thoroughly stopped up
before war is declared against tho ami
mails. Then the corn-crib should be set
on capped posts, and wire netting nailed
around the bottom and caves. The horse
stable and COW stable should be paved
with cobble-stones covered with
cement and gas tar. The
rats and mice will then fud no hiding
place except in the barn, where there
are always plenty of little corners and
dark places to run into. But the intro
duction of several cats IN the barn will
soon destroy the nuisances, if they have
no better shelter than that offered by
the boxes and bags. Ii the grain and
meal are kept in the barn, there is moth
ing better to protect the bins than
broad hoop iron nailed on tho edges on
both sides, inside and outside. Hem
lock plank should be used to build the
bins of, on account of its sharp, splin-
terry nature. By attending to these lit
tie details great saving is made, as the
bags will soon cease to be full Of holes
when wanted, aud the corn will not
be nibbled away in such large qu1nti-
ties in the crib when spring opens. No
man can tell how much he will S ave by
this extra work, for h. cannot tell how
much he lost before; but the amount Of
worry and anxiety that he will save
himself will be no small part Of the
cain. New York Examiner.

"'Did-I do that}' gasped.
'Not you," said Harford. "It was

Did ever acquaintance commence less

have been saved those bitter tears Of
modification and shame, since Mr..
Hartford protested that the cut was
nothing---a mere scratch of the skim
and persisted in regarding the whole
thing as an admirable joke. In
fact, it only seemed to make u3 excel
lent friends.
My Aunt Jocasta, however, did not
improve on acquaintance, as l had
hopel she would. Perhaps there is
something antagonistic to gentleness and
refinement in this second hand business.
At all events, I was heartily glad when
my arm was well enough to go to Goose

Precious Bit of PAPER,

"All the money you ever handled

With that he handed me manifold
soiled scrap on which : could at first

rude, disputed letters the two words,

the playhouse of his little daughter who

A Dog With q Memory.

There is a dog in Xenia, Ohio, that
still has a vivid remembrance of the de-
structive flood that visited that town in
May, 1886. At the time the animal was
tied in a stable and could not get out
when the water came rushing in on him.
But he was rescued by some Of the boys
after the water had reached depth Of
about six feet. While the dog was be-
ing rescued the fire. bells rang an alarm
to warn the citizens Of their peril. Many
hastened from the city and took refuge
on neighboring hillside, and the dog
went there also as soon as he got out of
the water. Ever since that time, Rover,
as he is called, takes to the hillside
Just the moment the fire bells ring out,
anticipating another food.
