The important disco verK has been
made that rats may be lured into trap
when every other bait fails, by the use
of sunhower seeds, for which the cum
ming rodents seem to have fondness
which entirely overcomes their discre-
lion. The discovery was Incidentally
made at the Washington Geological
Gardens, and has been verified BY re-
peated trials.

Removing Warts.

These disfgurements of the hand
usually are never injurious outgrowths,
as they are simply the overgrowths of
the papill8 of the skin with covering
of cuticle. The separate papille can
be seen in the seed-wart, as they stand
up separately and prominently. It is
commonly thought that warts can be
produced anywhere on the body by in
oculation-that is if the blood from one
wart should get into scratch or cut
on another part of the body it would
produce warts. In some cases this
may be true, and some kinds of warts
are certainly contagious. The common,
hard, dry wart should be washed with
a solution of soda around its base. and
glacial acetic acid applied. Chronic
acid and nitric acid will answer the
purpose. The wash around the warts
prevents the acids from spreading over
the hand, and causing sores. The
warts are very peculiar in many re-
spects. They come and 60 so suddenly
that it is sometimes difficult to account
for their disappearance. This fact has
led to many popular cures and charms,
which many intelligent people still be-
lieve in.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY:
terestinH Facts About Ancient
and MODERN Methods.

Interesting Facts About Ancient
and Modern Methods.
BY the ancient amateur photography
we mean, the practice Of the art say
fifteen Or twenty years ago, with the
wet collodion process, and prior to the
present general use Of dry plates.
Modern amateur photography is a.
very different thing. It consists, SUBJ
stan TALLY, in pointing a camera and
touching a spring. It requires no
study, acknowledge. no experience, no
genius, no skill. Even children are
now photographers, and the camera is
becoming to be toy. How different
were the duties of the ancient amateur
photographer was ably descr ibed by
Mr.: Henry j. Newton in recent ad-
dress before the New York society of
amateur photographs. He said:
To- succeed then meant hard work
and study. You were required to
know how to make almost every thing
connected with the production of a
Photographic print. You must know
how to make collodion; how to coat a
plate and how to sensitize and develop
1t; how to construct the silver bath in
which the plate was sensitized; how to
make the developer; how to clean the
plate; how to prepare the nitrate of
silver bath for sensitizing the albumen
papen; to fume. print, tone and fix the
prints; how to make paste and how to
mount the prints. The amateur Of
these times was required to make him
self familiar with the chemistry in
volved in this work; first in order that
what he did he might do intelligently
and successfully, and second, to be
qualified to Determine with degree of
certainty what was the matter when
his chemistry gave unsatisfactory re-
suits.
The development of an exposed plate
brings one into close and intimate re-
lation with nature. You are admitted
into one of her interior sanctuaries,
while she places in your hand one of
her magical wands, and while you look
at the white plate before you, 10! a
form begins to come forth like a specter
from its winding sheet, and apparently
it throws off fold after fold of its snowy
environments until it stands revealed
in perfection and beauty. What can
there be more wonderful than this?

for the firemcn. On every corner ell

rents of black smoke, while hose lines

The filthiness of the hog, and
the well established fact that many
diseases are introduced into the
human system by the use OF hog
meat, and lard manufactured from
hog fat, has of late caused great
deal of prejudice against his lard
ship the pig. This prejudice has
been greatly increased on account
of the late congressional investi-
cations, which establish the fact
that it is no uncon mon thing for
pork packers to xiii off their dis
eased hogs by the score, in order
to prevent loss by their dying on
their hands, and this disgusting
stuff is shipped off on unsuspect-
ing people by the car load
In the face of this evil, tho late
discovery of the Cotton Oil Product
company, Of New York, of pure,
palatable and healthful substitute
for lard, may be looked upon as
boon to suffering humanity. They
manufacture a compound from pure
cotton seed oil and beef fat that is
a most excellent substitute for hog
lard. The company lately presented
the CHRONICLE with 3-pound can
of their cotton seed lard" In
appearance it looks very much like
pretty fair article of butter, being
of rich nutty brown or rather
cream color. At first we were dis
posed to look with suspicion on the
product, believing it to be a doc
tored" sample for the purpose of
quilting the unwary. However, the
better half of this editor gave it
fair trial in biscuit, cakes and corn
bread, and now asserts that it is
altogether superior to hog lard for
any purpose, and insists that all
the subscription money that comes
into this Office for the next month
shall be saved up in order to buy
another supply. The company
asks that we notice their substitute
for lard, and we take pleasure i'm
giving it an extra puff, as we He-
lieve it to be an article of unusual
merit, and we trust that our mer-
chants will take measures for its
early introduction in this region.
