Killing Rats.

A writer in Chambers Journal repeats
the method which is in quite general use
here for the determination of rats. These
animals are the wisest of domestic YER
min, and any means taken for their de-
struction is, as a rule, quickly discovered
by them; if not, the terror alone engen-
dered by the ever diminishing tribe is
sufficient to cause them to flee the mys-
FERROUS power which haunts them. TAX
ing advantage of this trait the writer in
question constructed trap for the rats.
This was water barrel carefully con-
cealed. On the top was a trap door
Simply balanced by a pivot in the CENTER,
and beyond this some food was placed
for which the rats had a strong liking.
They could only get to this by walking
over the door, and in order to entice
them, the door was fixed for about a
week; then the bolt was drawn, and for
several nights a plentiful supply of
drowned rats rewarded the ingenuity of
the rat killer, and the remainder of the
colony sought ''fresh woods and pastures
new"

a Valuable Manuscript.

The Star states that the original man
uscript of Dickens story, "Our Mutual
Friend" is said to be in the possession of
Mr.. G. w. Childs, of Philadelphia, who
is reported to have refused 81 200 for it.
The story of this manuscript is rather
remarkable. "Our Mutual Friend" was
reviewed in The Times at great length,
and in most laudatory terms by the late
Mr.. Dallas, who had previously informed
Dickens that he had undertaken to do
justice to ''the new book" in that Jour
nal, the notices of which carried great
weight in those days. Dickens so highly
appreciated the value of the service
which Mr.. Dallas had rendered him that
he presented him with the manuscript,
which the enthusiastic critic received
with the utmost effusion, vowing that
he would always treasure it as one of his
most precious possessions. Within short
time, however, the manuscript was sold
to Mr.. Childs for e250.-London Truth.

What would a London lady think if
she were ushered into a house in New
York at o'clock in the afternoon to
present herself to a hostess who was
decked out in white satin, low neck and
short sleeves, or in Nile green MORE,
ditto neck and sleeves? The blinds would
be drawn, to be sure, and the gas lighted,
but the cards would have read "frorn
four to seven," and no power of imagi-
nation would make the dresses and the
lights seem in place before dinner to

oongruous dressing follows American
women into various other kinds of enter
tainment. English women visiting here
remark, "What pity that the ladies in
sist upon wearing their bonnets every
wheret" Such is literally the case. Bon
nets are worn at the theatre, at the
opera, at receptions, and at concerts,
even when evening dress" has been
suggestively printed on the tickets. The
worst of it is, however, that a few ladies
do go without bonnets, and in that lies
the incongruity. A request for "even-
ing dress" on these occasions is observed
by the ladies only by their putting on
the most elaborate headgear. There is
no accepted fashion in regard to the
matter. This is freedom" in America.

Making Money by Raising skunks.


Mr. Joseph Lininger, who lives about
twenty miles northeast of this city, is
proprietor of a skunk ranch, probably
the only one in the state. Mr.. Lininger
established his ''skunkery" with only
few animals, and now there are fifty in
the corral. 81 set out" remarked the
proprietor when interviewed, Ito raise
900 OF the animals before Strengthening
any, and at the present rate of increase
it will not be long before that number is
realized" "How about the odor?' was
asked. There is none whatever; YOU
can go right up to the corral, and l defy
you to. tell by the odor that there is q
skunk In the neighborhood. They never
eject their acrid and offensive fluid ex-
cept as means Of self defense, and If
they are not molested there is no dan
ger. Besides, it Is q very easy matter to
remove from the kittens the glands con-
tanning the offensive secretions, and thus
disarm them for life The skunk is an
animal easily raised, and is quite valua-
bic for its oil and fur. The skin Is worth
from rs cents to $3.50, and the yield of
oil Is about Of the same value. They
have from six to ten young at time and
breed several times In a season, the same
as rabbits My attention was called 30

Bread Unknovu.

Bread Is not the staff Of life to many
people Of civilized nations, because they
do not eat it. Baked loaves Of bread are
unknown in many parts of South AustFh
and Of Italy, and throughout the agri
cultural districts Of Roumania. Not
many miles from Vienna bread Is never
seen, its place being taken by sterz, q
kind Of porridge made from ground
beech nuts, which is taken at breakfast
with fresh or curdled milk; at dinner
with broth or fried lard, and with milk
again for supper. In the north of Italy
the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a
porridge made Of boiled maize. 1t is in
every sense the italian PEASANTS daily
bread. The Roumanians eat a mama
Gga, made Of maize and like the polenta
except that the grains are not allowed to
settle as in the Italian dish Sterz is
also known as heiden and takes the place
Of bread in COrinthia and many parts of
the Tyrol.-Good Housekeeping.

DonnelIY'S Note Book.

Ignatius Donnelly does not trust to his
memory for all the odd anecdotes and
funny stories with which he Celebrates
his speeches on any and all occasions,
but he follows the example of Abraham
Lincoln and keeps note book which is
full of them. He keeps the note books in
drawer at home and looks them over,
not only when he wants one for a
speech, but whenever he gets blue. He
says that his note books are better medi
cine than anything the doctors can pre-
scribe. Some one who protested to have
seen the inside of one of Mr.. Donnelly's
note books says that when the sage gets
a good anecdote or a striking bit Of
poetry, he makes marginal note beside
it of some man whom it will fit.-Minne
