GCRIBNER's MAGAZINE.
An Exceptional Year.

The Year 1891 has been marked by a greater ad.
vance than any similar period since the Magazine
was established. Not only has the literary and
artistic excellence been maintained and increased
but corresponding gain has been made in the sale
and influence of the Magazine At the end of 1891
the circulation has risen TO more than 10000. II
may Justly be promised that the further improve
ments for the coming year will be prUportonate TO
these largely increased FGs 1S SPPSr HE
II is not possible to give, in brief space an &C.
count OF all the features in preparation hut the
ter1al IS deficient in neither importance nor range

THE POOR IN THE WORLDS GREAT CITIES.
It is proposed to publish series of articles upon
scale moi before attempted, giving the results OF
special study and work among the poor of the great
cities The plan will include an account OF the
condltions OF life in those cities lin many lands)
where the results of research will be helpful for
purposes Of comparison as well as for their own in
trinsic interest While, from scientific point of
view, the articles viii be contribution of great i'm

IMPORTANT MOMENTS.
The aim OF this series of very short articles is to
describe the signal occasions when some decisive
event took place, or when some great experiment
was first shown to be suceessful-such moments as
that of the first use of the Atlantic cable the first use

fire, the scene at the moment of the vote on the i'm

P0puIa-

Further statistics show that the arrests
for drunkenness and for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct in this city are as much
below those in other cities as the total of
arrests. The figures quoted above are
from Census Bulletin No. 100. The aver
age percentage of arrests to population in
all these cities is AS, while the percentage
for Milwaukee is l.75, or far below that
for any other city.
We who live here know that this is an
orderly city, and that the rarest of sights
in our streets is drunken man. Last
Thanksgiving day the pastor of the largest
Presbyterian congregation in the city gave
testimony to the surprising orderliness of
this community Yet, as we have said,
we have very mixed population; we have
more than HOO saloons all wide open on
Sundays, and we have half dozen theatres
and an art gallery open on Sundays. We
depend on education and moral suasion
and good sense to keep people straight
with very severe handling if they become
disorderly without the Lrovocation of OPP
preston. Men are mostly disposed to
conduct themselves with sobriety if they
are not nagged.

How to Danish Rats.

There are people who don't know, and
won't learn how to set traps properly, and
who are afraid to use poison. To such
people the following metaods are offered
with the assurance that they will fill the
bill and expel these troublesome animals IN
a manner that will give very good degree
of satisfaction.
The principal objection to this plan Is
that instead of destroying the beasts, you
only drive them from your own to your
neighbor's premises. Unless he promptly
resorts TO some method of slaughter, he
will be very apt to have a fat time OF It,
If he should be much concerned about 1t,
YOU might suggest the use Of little poison,
and at the same time offer your services as
chief manipulation.
OF course he would be ready and will
inc to come down with the lucre In
agreeable quantities. If he is very good
and useful neighbor, you might climb upon
your benevoIence and do him a nice turn.
If. however, he insists that you ''take 1t
anyhow" always pocket it with gentle
protest. He will feel more satisfied, and
will also regard you as kind and consider
ate sort of parsonage.
To Danish rats take cayenne pepper,
ground to . fine powder, and sprinkle
plenty of it in their holes and runways
1t is an elegant article for keeping rats out
of a place after you have once got them
out. 1t operates by creating violent dis
turbance in their breathing apparatus.
Don't be afraid of putting too much in the
holes Apply it literally, and remember
it must be ground exceedingly fine and be
very dry to produce the best results. You
might look around day or so after intro
ducing it to see if there were any rats
living about with their heads sneezed off.
Here is another: Mix equal parts with
chloride of lime, and blue vitriol, powdered
fine and apply it the same as the pepper
II is rather rough on their wind organs
1t is safe to say that consumptlve raj
running over it few times would soon kick
his little bucket. A particularly acute article
for banishing rats and mice is moist causti'
potash. 1t will be found very useful ii
some places. Spread thin layer of i
around their holes. When they run Ovel
it evil befalls them Itsticks to their feet
eats off the bark, and lays them on thu
shelf
When hole is in the ground, place i
board with hole in the center over the
rat hole and spread the article on the board
In passing over the board, they will apply
the corrective nicely When their feet be-
gin to tingle, they try to lick itoff, and get a
dreadfully sore mouth. 1t is very severe
medicine and plays smash with them gen
orally.
Tar, used in the same manner, is also
very good. 1t annoys rats sadly. Smear
their holes with it, and they will soon set
tie their bills and go off mad We find it
advisable to apply it three or four times to
insure their departure for good

What Some Wives Expect,


That man will come home eagerly
night after night, after his business, and
caress them, and whisper loving words,
when the fire is sickly, the hearth unclean,
the dinner delayed and badly cooked, the
children neglected looking and cross, and
she herself grumbling and complaining, is
what some women expect to find in matri-
mony Well, she need not expect it he
won't come; he has more sense. He will
very naturally leave her awaiting him and
90 where his surroundings will be more
tempting, where he can get good meal
and read his paper in peace and quietness.
When man knows nice dinner is
waiting for him, comfortable fireside, a
smiling wife and bright, well cared for
children, as a rule, with very few exceptions,
he will come home with rapid feet and
eagerness Try it, ye women whose hus-
bands are uncertain in their home coming /;
it is quite worth your while ; it requires
some thought, self denial and much effort,
but it will repay in 50 many ways-an easy
conscience, happy home, a contented
husband healthy children and an APPROX
ing mind.
Some women expect a man to give them
all the money they ask for to spend as
foolishly and rccklessly as they like he
is simply money making machine, existant
for their convenience; his life must be Il
hard working one while hers is to be full
of ease and amusement The worst of it
is these sort of women generally get the
best men, and are much envied by their
more unlucky sisters.

Wisdom in Fragments.

Here is piece of philosopy, by Joseph
Addison. found in his reflections upon the
tombs in Westminster Abbey, equal to any
thing in the English language, not found
in holy writ. 1t ought to be memorized
by every one:
When | look upon the tombs Of the
great, every emotion of envy dies within
me; when | read the epitaphs of the beauti-
full, every incrdinate desire goes out; when
| meet with the grief Of parents upon Il
tombstone, my heart mclts with compass
sion; when | see the tomb of the parents
themselves | consider the vanity of griev-
ing for those whom we must quickly fol-
low; when | see kings lying by the side of
those who deposed them; when | consider
rival wits, placed side by side, or the holy
men that divided the world with their con-
tests and disputes, | reflect with sorrow
and astonishment ON the little competition,
factions and debates of mankind; when
read the several dates of the tombs, of
some that died yesterday, and some six
hundred years ago, consider that great
day when we shall all of us be contemporaries
and make nur appearance together.
A scrap from Burns, though brief, Is
pregnant with meaning.
0 wad some power the giftie gle us,
To see oursel's as ithers see us,
1t wad frae mony a blunder free us
And foolish notion.
