How Fats are to be Extermlr-
atoH

The best course to take, when the
determination OF colony OF rats be-
comes Il necessity. is to make them
help to destroy one another in the
following manner: A number oftubs,
proportionate to the quantity ofrats
in the place which it is desired to rid
of them, should be placed about, the
middle of each occupied by Il brick
standing on end. The bottom OF
these should be covered with water
to such II depth that about an inch
of the brick projects above it. The
top of the tub should be covered
with stout brown paper, upon which
Il dainty meal OF bacon rind and
other scraps dear to the rat palate
| figures, n sloping board giving the
rodents facilities for partaking OF 1T.
The least should be renewed Tor sew
ernl nights, so that all the rats in
the neighborhooh may get to know
of the good food which is placed
within such easy reach. When it is
judged that this policy has been pur-
sued long enough, the centre of
the brown paper should be cut in
such manner that any rat ventur-
ing upon it will be precipitated into
the water below. 1tmght he thought
that the result of this would be to
capture u rat, or at the most two,
for every tub prepared but no such
meagre reward for the trouble thai
has been taken need be feared.
The first rat to find his trust nbus-
ed and himself struggling in the wat
err at the bottom Of tub soon re-
covers sufficiently from the shock to
ascertain that there is little island
of refuge, ON to which he chambers
and squeals his loudest TOR help
Now, the squeal of a rat in trouble
attracts every one OF his kind within
hearing, and very few moments viii
elapse before the victim of misplaced
confidence is joined by ono OF hi!
friends. The newcomer is rs quicl
to discover the chance Of escape from
a watery grave that the brick offers
as was the original victim, but whel
he attempts to avail himself of it
presence it becomes apparent tina
there is not room for more than on
upon it. The first conner resists wit
tooth and nail the efforts of his com
panion in trouble to dispossess him 9
his coign Of vantage, and the squeal
which form I'm accompaniment t.
the fight for a footing upon the brio
attract more rats to the scene OF tn
tragedy. The conflict wakes nor
and more furious as rat after ra
topples into the water, and by morl
ing bedraggled corpses in plenty wi
gladden. the eyes OF the man who's
losses at the teeth OF rats have il
duced him to adopt this means {
thinning their numbers. Some yea1

tried in a city warehouse, with tt
result that more than 5000 RAJ

COAL W.. CORN.

Nebrasks and Kansas are destined to be
tho great market for Colorad0's immense
coal fields, and especially for the excellent
domestic coal mined in the vicinity Of Dem
yer.
It 10 noticeable that some Of tbs large
producers Of coal are putting forth great
endeavors to introduce these really Hne
coal fields into this territory, and It 10 pre-
dicted by many that the Norther1 COlora-
do Goals Of Boulder County will cut .
great figure in the cheaponlnA Of the
farmers fuel, and instead Of corn for fuel,
the thrifty farmer should use the product
Of the field In feeding and fattening Of cat
tie and hogs for the market.
Already it 10 noticeable that some Of the
largest dealers In Colorado Goals are
alive to the fact that the farmers trade
should be courted, rather than the dealers,
and are bidding for the patronage Of the
consumer rather than ths middlemau.
Could the farmer buy direct Of the pro-
ducer, several hundred thousand dollars
could be saved TO the farmers OF the State

The Gold Belt I'm Alaska.

Alaska is country worth looking
after sharply. The Pribyloff Islands are
the. richest centre of seal fishing in the
mare clausum that bears the name of
Behring. Five hundred miles east of the
Pribyloff Islands is the Alaskan PENN
sula. A thousand miles east Of the Alas
kan peninsula, and parted from it by a
stormy and Indictment ocean, lies the
fertile apd gold bearing region which the
Canadians are annexing by survey to an
unknown extent. This, in natural wealth
possibly the most valuable part of Alas
ka, seems a narrow strip on the map. But
its landward boundary, in bee line, is
as long as from the eastern boundary of
Maine to Philadelphia, and its area is
greater than that of all New England.
But the boundary Of this little inter
esting strip of land between the noun
tains and the sea is not bee line. 1t Is
a little straighter than a corkscrew, but
not nearly so straight as a rainbow. The
virgin SUBMITS of untrodden mountains
are the boundary line when the ranges lie
within ten leagues of the sea and paral-
lei with the coast. Whenever this diff
cult guide to the surveyor is not at
hand, an exact parallel to the tortuous
windings of the coast line must be laid
out. To carry this imaginary thread
through an icy desert of uninhabited
mountain forests and glaciers for a dis
lance of at least 600 miles is the task for
which it is now proposed to appropriate
100000.
A clear title to the territory in dispute
must be demonstrated, Canadian surveys
refuted, and the right of American citi
zens to work American gold mines es
tablished. Truly the sum is not extrava.

THE DINING ROOM TABLE,

1t is q great saving of expense, both as
regards your linen press and your laundry
work, if you keep your dining room
table we'll polished, and use small center
cloths for breakfast and luncheon, re-
serving the heavy damask tablecloth for
dinner only. Although nothing can be
more refined and attractive than per-
fectly appointed table, with the whitest
and finest of damasG beautifully laun-
dered, cloth that has been used, and is
the least soiled, is on the contrary really
repulsiVe. And yet with large family
and an overtaxed laundress, it is some
times impossible to have a fresh change
for every meal. On that account, there
fore, we advocate the small center cloth,
not as substitute, be it understood, for
spotless napery, but in lieu of that which
is not altogether spotless. Moreover, it
is change, and the table can be made to
look very attractive with pretty cloth.
These are made in various ways, from
the plain square of damask to those with
beautifully made cut work border or
German embroidery in silk on heavy
linen. But your own taste and the
means of gratifying it will be the best
guides in these matters.-Neu York
Tribune.

TO FREsHEN OLD CLOTHING.

The way to make old clothes lock like
new is described in the american analyst,
as follows:
Take, for instance, shiny old coat,
vest or pair of pants, of broadcloth,
cashmere or diagonal. The scourer
makes a strong, warm soapsuds and
plunges the garment into it, sOuses it up
and down, ruDs the dirty places, if
necessary puts it through a second suds,
then rinses it through several waters, and
hangs it to dry on the line. When nearly
dry, he takes it in, rolls it up for an
hour or two, and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of
the coat and the iron passed over that
until the wrinkles are out; but the iron
Is removed before the steam ceases to
rise from the goods else they would be
shiny. Wrinkles that arc obstinate are
removed by laying a wet cloth over them
and passing the iron over that. If any
shiny places are seen, they are treated MS
the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted, while
the full cloud of steam rises and brings
the nap up with it. Cloth should always
have suds made specially for it, as if that
which has been used for white cotton or
wooden clothes be used lint will be left in
the water, and cling to the cloth. In
This manner we have known the same
coat and pantaloons to be renewed time
and again, and have all the look and feel
of new garments. Good broadcloth and
It's fellow cloths will bear many washings.
and look better every time because c
