How to Get Rid of Rats.

The best way to get rid of rats
and mice is not to poison them, but
to make them thoroughly tired of
the locality and so induce them to
leave. They are generally too
smart to eat poison, even when it
is prepared for their benefit in the
most seductive fashion, but they
are not so particular about tartar
emetic. When a little of this is
mixed with any favorite food they
will eat as greedily as though the
physic were not there, but in two
or three hours there will be the
most discouraged lot of rats about
the place that anybody ever saw.
1t will not kill them, it only makes
them deathly sick. If you put your
ear to their holes you can hear them
vomit; sometimes they will crawl
out and walk about like seasick
man, so i'll that they do not seem to
care what becomes of them. But
it disgusts them with the whole
vicinity, and as soon as they are
able to travel they march off and
you see them no more.-Globe

A Curious Wedding Custom.

The Mandingoes, who inhabit a
tract of country in Africa, are strict
Mohamedans in religion, but curl
Gus enough, they still retain many
of the superstitions of the negro
races from which they sprung.
Consequently their marriage cere-
mony is a mixture of the two, and
although it is performed by mar
about or holy man in mosque, it
contains one very ridiculous ele-
ment. Next in Importance to the
marabout is the bridegroom's sister,
and when the marriage ceremony
reaches the point where the visible
bond, usually typifed in civilization
by the ring, this sister steps for
ward, and in place of the ring pre-
sents the lady with a pair Of trow-
sers, which are Immediately donned.
The ceremony is concluded by
very mournful song sung by the
companions of the bride, who then
conduct her again to the home of
her parents, as, owing to the ex-
treme probability of one or the other
retracting at any moment by rea-
son of an unfavorable omen, no
house is built until the ceremony
is completed. Polygamy is the
rule, but each wife has her own
house to keep her from quarreling
with the other wives. They are
the most tyrannical wives in Afri-
ca, and hating each other, band to-
gether against their husband and
rule him with rod of iron..-La-

Dumb Animals Shed Tears.

Many people believe that horses
do not weep, but those who have
had much to do with these faith
ful creatures know that OH several
occasions they have shed tears as
well as expressed sorrow in the most
heart breaking manner. In the
West, where the hardness of the
ponies causes the riders to almost
overlook the necessity of providing
for their needs, it is quite common
when the weather is extremely
cold to leave an unblanketed pony
tied up for two or three hours when
the temperature is nearly zero, and
while its owner is transacting
business or getting drunk. In this
case the suffering is evidenced by
cries which are almost like sobs,
and unmistakable tears freeze on

A Mistake.

1t happened in rough mining
town in Colorado. There was
grand ball at the ranch of Whisky
Jack, a well-known character in
the ''diggings,' and the elite of the
district responded to the call in
full force.
The party was held in rickety
old barn belonging to the host,
and with a few red strips of flannel,
IA grotesque accumulation of noun
tain roses, and a row of dripping
candles, the appointments of the
place were perfect.
My first partner in the giddy
dance was the wife of the man who
killed the postmaster because he
refused him a letter; she was fat,
fair and forty.

She's bad 'un.'
"Yas," replied the man I'D hate

"Yes" said, and turned my

sailing toward us, supported by a
little man with sandy whiskers and
red top-boots. Here comes some

Kings River Canon.

Kings River Canon is situated
south Of the Yosemite, forty five
miles from Visilia, and is the valley
of the south fork of Kings River.
1T is ten miles long, one-half a mile
wide, with walls that tower to a
height of from $500 to 5000 feet.
The depth of the valley is more
than IA mile, while the floor is COM
paratively level, with groves and
parks of willow, poplar, fir, and
pine, rising from carpet of ex-
quisite flowers. The abrupt walls
rear themselves almost perpendicu-
larly, and the changing river flows
down through it's dazzling canon,
now gliding gently, and then leap
ing and dashing over huge rocks
and boulders through narrow
gorge into deep clear pools below.
Numerous streams from the sur
mountains find their way
down the slopes, seeking at last
this mighty river, where they
mingle in the soft ripple, or in the
furious roar of the cascades.
Great masses of rock, curiously
fashioned, jut out from the ponder
GUS walls in artistic architectural
forms, like forts and buttresses
built upon high precipice.-Lil-
liam E. Purdy, in July Californian.

The Giant Of all Timepieces.

The greatest Theological wonder
in the world to-day is the gigantic
clock in the tower Of the immense

When everything is in running
order this marvel of the clockmak-
er's art will be stationed u distance
of 35l feet from the pavement.
It's bell weighs between 10000 and
$4,000 pounds, and is the second
largest bell of any kind in Ameri-
ca, the great bell at Montreal being
the largest, weighing 2S, 900 pounds.
The dial of this Philadelphia titan
is % feet in diameter, and the
striking hammer is as large as a
pile driver weight. The minute
hand is l2 and the hour hand o
feet in length. The machinery is
arranged so that the clock will
strike every Is minutes, the quar-
ter, half, three-quarters and hours.
The Roman numerals OH the face
are each 9 feet s inches in length,
the dark part of the figures being
81 inches in width. As it is en-
tirely out of the question to talk of
winding such a monster by hand,
a three-horse power engine has
been placed at the square of the
tower for that especial purpose.
