REPELlNG RATS.
Build Barns So That They Can Not H arbor
 Rodents from Terriers.

Build Barns So That They Can Not H arbor
 Rodents from Terriers.
 Most of the barns put up in our country are about as perfect rat war rens as can be contrived. The floor of the cellar should be cemented, and it's walls made of brick or stone. If rat then gets down the stairs into it, he is easily caught by dog, as he can make no hole here to crawl out. Nothing in the upper stories should be piled so close to the sides of the building as to prevent small dog and a large cat getting between, to catch any vermin nesting there. All grain or meal bins and boxes must be covered with tin, zinc or sheet iron, to prevent rats and mice gnawing through to eat them.
 Many rats may be got rid of in the following easy manner: Take four pieces of joist, three feet or more long, and nail boards to these to make a square space inside. Set the lower boards three inches or more above the foot of the joist, so as to leave space for rats to run under them. Scatter corn on the ground in the center of the pen, yard or two long and wide; lay down joist at two ends of this, and then cover the corn with boards. Place this near the barn, and it will make & nice warren for rats; and by tOlling them with few kernels of corn from the barn to the outside of this pen, they will soon make their home under the boards inside. After get ting we'll settled there, sink the foot of each post so deep into the ground as to bring the edge of the lowest board of the pen close to the ground, so that no rat can crawl un- der it to escape. Now put into the pen one or more dogs, that have been trained to hunt rats; lift up the boards under which they have harbored, and there will be lively time in catching them.
 1 have seen twenty or more rats caught in such pen at single time. A pair of we'll trained dogs will dis pose of so many in few minutes. 1 had a terrier that would kill as many probably in less than fifteen minutes. She would jump and give Q rat single grip, just back of the head, which in stantly broke his neck and laid him out dead. After she had finished, she would return to look them all over, one after another, and if any life seemed to be left, give another grip, which instantly settled the matter.- Country Gentleman,

small bit of tobacco into a tiny box which he carries in his waistcoat pocket. At the end of each smoker s year he sends all these cigar tips to a charitable institution in his province. Two years ago the asylums in the little province of Brunswick received four hundred marks worth of tobacco in this wise. After slowing away the "Orphan's share" of the cigar. the smoker takes knife from its chamois- skin bag and finishes the job which the clipper began. A case containing a cigarette-holder and leather match safe are the last articles which the well-bred German about to smoke adds to the collection of small bags and cases on the table before him. Of course, all this elaborate preparation to smoke one three-cent cigar strikes the American tourist as trife ridicu- lous. A German, however, regards it as indicative of the breeding of the smoker. He looks upon the rough and-ready manner in which an Amer ican carries his cigars, matches and knife much as an American looks upon a man who travels without a tooth brush and night-shirt.
 The little code of pocket manners is enforced just as tyrannically by Ger man public opinion as other branches of German etiquette. Americans, who consider such minute matters all bosh and say so. are apt to be roughly cor rected or altogether abandoned by their more fastidious friends. Like the Inspector in 'The Moonstone," German etiquette holds that there are no trihes, and any foreigner who holds otherwise can not cut much of a7figure in German society.-N. Y. Sun.

One Hundred Years Ago.

Envelopes for letters were then un- known, and those bearing a postage stamp and ready gummed did not come into use until 1S40. Postage was cal culated, not by the weight of the letter, but by the number of pieces of paper of which it was composed, and if the envelope had been known its use would have been made practically impossi- ble, because it would have doubled the rate of postage, which was high. An envelope would have made the postage on half-ounce letter between Chicago and New York, for instance, half a dollar. Sheets of writing paper were then of four pages, each being S4 by II inches, which was doubled so as to be sent without an envelope and sealed with wafer by the common people, and with sealing-wax by the fashion ables. It is related of a Government officer that once having received let te: sealed with wafer he declined to open 1t, because the sender had sealed it with his spittle," the wafer comm on- ly being softened in the mouth. There have been more than three hundred patents issued on envelopes ana en- velope machinery in the Un1ted States.
 The daily consumption of envelopes for letters alone in this country is now estimated at 14.000, 900, or 1.252. 900 : 900 annually, to say nothing of those used for seed, samples, packets and other purposes, Washington CritiG

LIFE IN OKLAHOMA.
Breezy Locals Appropriated from the Col

| DreeZV LOCALS appropriated rom the COls | umns of the Territorial Shorter.
 The Oklahoma Shorter, in its last issue, contained the following breezy locals:
 Colonel Jim Highbee has secured the beautiful lot at the corner of Bull whacler avenue and Kill'emquick street, and has begun the erection of a tent thereon. This lot formerly be- longed to Dick Skinner, but he gave it up at the same time he gave up his life. Colonel Jim is a good shot.
 We are glad to learn that our friend Dan Bunker has at last come into pos session of choice lot. Dan killed the former claimant with his first shot,, Dan is a rustler, and never does things by halves.
 The report that the ten men found dead last night on Goosebristle creek had been shot, proves a fabrication. They were the victims of congestive chills.
 Wanted: Ten frst-class grave-dig- gers. Also, four or five more coffin makers. Must be willing to work twelve hours day, but pay is large. Cophin & Son.
 Subscribers must pay for this paper in advance. Life is too uncertain to take any chances.
 Major Burdock, one of our gentle manly undertakers. came up yesterday to see us. The Major is smiling, and says he never had more hattering busi- ness prospects. He is running a large corps of men day and night in orderto keep up with his orders. He says he is prepared to make liberal terms with those who contemplate taking claims, if they wish to arrange in advance for burial.
 There was quite lot of freight re- ceived at the depot yesterday, consist ing chiefly of coffins and guns.
 Notice: We are prepared to bury boomers quicker and cheaper than any other house in the city. Send in your friends. We will take pleasure in burying them. Plantum & Co.
 Real estate has changed hands rap- idly the last few days The new own CTS usually show their liberality by burying the former claimants.
 Several Texans came in yesterday to locate claims. Our undertakers are watching the corners for good har- vest
 Food and ammunition are becoming scarce. We learn. however, that carload of shot and powder is expected to-day.
 First-class meals at all hours at Fremont Hotel. Bean soup, fifty cents dish. eggs ten cents each (when we have them), water five cents glass. Call in second tent above the Shorter office.
 We learn that our genial friend Dick Tucker has given up his claim and re- turned home. We are sorry to lose Dick, as he was one of the most cheer ful and whole-hearted men among us If he had known the claim was so worthless it is doubtful if he would have shot the man who held it down before him.
 Bill Swanson was in to-day and re- ported that he had secured fine claim just east of town. Of course, he had to remove the man who was on it, but Bill did it neatly, and then paid the funeral expenses. There is nothing small about Bill. Thomas P. Mont fort, in Time.

 Potatoes Drowned with the roast beef make an occasional pleasant change, and this is an especially good way to prepare new potatoes. Parboil them for about fifteen minutes in salted water drain and bake until brown and tender, turning once or twice. They will require about thirty minutes to bake.
 Instead of filling bread pans, oat- meal kettles, and dishes of that kind with water, that they may soak before they are washed, an easier way is to wet them thoroughly, then turn them upside down on a flat surface. In a little while they can be cleaned easily, and you have saved yourself the trouble of carrying water to pour into them, only to be poured out again and carried away.

 For packing away furs and winter clothing during the summer, Good Housekeeping advises the purchase of a number of paste board boxes, such as tailors use in delivering clothing, pack ing the articles in them, and cumming a strip of wrapping paper around the edge of the cover so as to leave no crack. But all clothing should be thoroughly shaken and aired before shaken and aired before packing away, and special care should be taken that moths do not get at them while they are being aired.

POISONOUS WALLPAPER.

Some New Facts Prescribed by the Bos-
 ton Medical Improvement Society.
 The subject of poisonous paper hangings has lately been discussed, in the light of some new facts, by the Boston Society for Medical Improve ment.
 Some of the important papers still contain arsenic in quite dangerous amounts, and even American manufact- urers, though they use less arsenic than formerly, are not yet wholly within the limits of safety. It is found that one-tnird of grain to square yard is decidedly deleterious; but papers are in use that analysis shows to contain ten, fifteen, and even twenty grains.
 The following are important facts in the case:
 1. The harm varies, as would natur- ally be supposed, inversely with the individuals power of elimination. This power may be fully adequate in some persons, and quite inadequate in others.
 2. The symptoms of two persons in- juriously affected by the same expos ure and the results may be quite diff ferent. Inflammation of the kidneys for instance, may be induced in the one, and not at all in the other.
 3. Arsenic may not give rise to the ordinary symptoms of arsenical poi soning, but may stir up and strengthen dormant, morbid tendencies, and thus divert attention from the true disturb ing cause.
 4. While one-third of grain to square yard is likely to harm an adult, a young child may be injured by mere trace, and the cause of the trouble may be wholly unsuspected
 5. While arsenic is not a cumulative poison, like lead, yet it is very slowly eliminated from the body. It requires weeks, and sometimes even months, to effect its complete expulsion after re- mOval from an arseniouS atmosphere. Hence inhaling it constantly, perhaps day and night, may cause a very dan gerous accumulation of the poison in the system. This accumulation will be very rapid if the organs of elimina- tion, one or more of them, are feeble.
 6. A new and conclusive method of detecting the presence of arsenic in the system has been discovered, which leaves no room for doubt. This test has been applied in many cases, and has led to the removal of the paper from the wall,. or of the patient from the room, followed by relief, and, in due time, by full cure.
 z. The covering of arsenical paper by non-arsenical is not sufficient to re. move danger, for though this expedi- ent may prevent the arsenical dust from impregnating the ail, yet it is surm1sed that moisture develops a volatile arsenious compound, which readily finds it's way into the air of the room Youths CQmpaaiQa.

GERMAN ETIQUETTE.
Some of the Rules That Americans are
 Forever Disregarding.

Some of the Rules That Americans are
 Forever Disregarding.
 German etiquette is very minute 1t does not stop with the ordinary rules for eating, drinking, calling and receiving. It prescribes mazes of trivial details which would fill so many fat volumes that even the Germans have not had the courage to write them. It directs a man what to say just before beginning to drink a glass of beer and just before finishing it. It tells him the exact words he must use in insulting a stranger. It graduates nicely the depth of the bows that are due to the Privy Councillor, the Court Councillor, the tutor, .the judge, the tradesman, the barber and the restaur- ateur. It explains why the clergyman should bow first to the Herr Baron and last to the Herr Bankier. It describes just how man must kiss woman S hand in the drawing-room and just why he need not give her his seat in d horse-car. It even prescribes the circle in which a man may waltz at ball.
 Perhaps the best criterion of the minuteness of German etiquette is the little unwritten code on pocket man. ners. German good form is shocked by the helter-skelter condition of the American pocket. A well-bred Ger man never allows his keys and his jack knife, his small change, his shoe-but- toner and his cigar-cutter to jingle about loosely in his trousers-pocket. A naked cigar protruding from a waist-coat pocket shocks the modesty of German good form much more than a dozen or more of Rubens' strapping Dutch tgoddesses. The greatest offense against German pocket manners is to carry small silver coins loose in the pocket. A German Lieu tenant may have only half a dollar to his name, but he carries as big a purse as if he owned all the notes of the I'm perial Reichsbank. In paying for five cents worth of beer he goes down into his trousers and draws out his fabby pocket-book with dignity, thanking Heaven he is a mannerly, high-born Prussian, and not a vulgar tradesman like the American at his side, who has just slapped down on the table mess of gold, silver, keys and manicure ap- paratus. The small German school boy is not even allowed to carry his car fare withouta a purse. The servant girl, who earns but $40 a year, would not carry the price of loaf of black bread through the street in her hand.
 Every reputable smoker in Germany has his "cigar-etuis." He prepares to smoke by emptying out all his three cent cigars on the table before him, and laying the case aside. Then he draws a little cigar clipper from an- other case, removes the tip of the least ofepsiYe-looking cigar, and drops the
