When prize fighters and fast horses were
put In contest years ago, they were stuffed
with alcohol to give them vim. Since the In
furious effects of stimulants became known, it
has been almost any kind OF diet for strength
and endurance--no two alike. Late years, the
diet has been mostly rice, mutton, potatoes,
potato yeast bread, and Moxle Nerve Food.
There Is scarcely an athlete, pedestrian, fast
horse or over-worked person in our large
cities now, that does not use the latter almost
continually

The democrats have been very industrious
in cult,yatiug alarm about the surplus. They
have said that crisis is imminent, that the
money of the country has been pouring into
the treasury In such excessive quantities as
TO inevitably bring on a business paralysis.
There are two or three big facts which show
that the panic predicted by bowling demo
cratic 'reiOrmcrs' can have no cause In
actual conditions. The volume of currency
in circulation is greater to-day than it ever
was before. The evil of the treasury surplus
has been grossly exaggerated for partisan
purposes. On July ], according to the state
mcnt of secretary FairChlld, the treasury con-
tanned exactly Sl5i, 7l0,GD in excess OF i'm
mediate public needs. The amount Of surplus
last year was $50, 10000 a large part OF

mated that the surplus for the present fiscal
year VIII be {, $50 Coz, but 1t will probably

would consent to follow the wise advice OF
Senator Sherman and 90 into the business Of

According to Mr., Mills the effect of his bill
would be reduction of about S15, O00, go in

from customs duttes. so great au aggregate
reduction could not he expected, for the in
crease of imports under lower tariff rates
would undoubtedly Offset much Of the loss of
revenue from an enlarged free list But on

RATS IN CELLARS.
A New York Farmer Tells How to Cir
cumveut tho Rodents.

A New York Farmer Tells How to Cir
cumveut tho Rodents.
Henry Ives. of Batavia, N. Y. In a let
ter To The New York World, tells what
every farmer will be glad to lenrn.
namely how to keep rats out of cellars.
He says;
When cellar Is infested with rats 1t 10
always found that they obtain their en-.
trance under the cellar walls, or at least
they must have holes or passapeways
there to retreat to, and places there to
burrow. II not they very soon will aban-
don the premises. II is said that in max
ing nm entrance they first dig down lust
outside OF the walls and under the bottom
OF 1t into the cellar. and whatever holes
they dig in the cellar are always to make
passages under these walls instead of into
the earth or any other part OF the cellar
bottom. Knowing this habit of theirs.
then. one can so build that they will not
be able to get through under these walls.
and then they will be most effectually ex.
cluded from the cellar.
This Is easily done by following what il
also most excellent practice in forming
the foundations for these walls. After
the cellar is dug and the lines marked
where the wall is to stand, then dig q
trench twenty inches or two feet deep and
little broader than the wall is to be, di.
rectly under where it is to stand. Fill
this with small broken stone, say small
as for macadamized road, or, what il
better. break up these loose, shelly flint.
stones in the trench. enough to I'LL IT,
Either OF these will make a good abut.
ment to construct the walls on, will act
as drain for the cellar, If it is needed,
and above all will prove impenetrable to
the entrance Of rats They might dig
down from the outside, as their custom
Is, but, finding at the bottom of the walls
this loose, broken stone, which they are
unable to make a passage through, they
Will be obliged to stay outside, and the
cellar will be practically rat proof"
But II the walls to the buildings one
has were not made as above and the cell
lars are already infested with rats, they
may be made nearly rat proof" in the
following manner: Dig trench fifteen
inches wide and eight or ten inches deep
Just inside, at the bottom of the walls.
FIJI this two-thirds full Of the pounded
stones, and then with water lime cement,
enough to be ev~u with the cellar bottom
and plastered a little way up from the
bottom of the walls. This will prove so
much of barrier to the rats in trying to
get passage under the walls again that
they will doubtless abandon the premises.

Shipping Poultry to Market,

To meet the demands of the New York
market, the crops of turkeys and chickens
must be free from food or other substance,
hence poultry designed for that market
must be kept from food about twenty
four hours before killing. 1t is generally
conceded that all poultry is best killed by
cutting through the roof of the mouth to
the brain with sharp pointed knife. For
that market leave the head and legs on,
and do not draw" the entrails.
The advice has been given many times
not to pack poultry until it is entirely re-
lieved of all animal heat. This is an i'm
portant point, for birds packed before
they are cold are almost sure to spoil.
For packing material clean dry wheat or
rye straw will be found preferable.
