To Get Rid OF Rats.

The best way to get rid of Iats 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 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
aoy 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 discour-
aged lot of rats that anybody ever saw. The
tartar will not kill them it only makes them
deadly sick Sometimes they will crawl out
and walk about like sea-siek man. so i'll that
they do not seem to care what becomes o.
them. But it disgusts them with the whole
vicinity, and as soon as they are able to trav-
el they march off and you see them no more.

The Lemon.

The Lemon
Lemons make very refreshing and thirst
ouenching drinks, and the citric acid they
contain cools the blood. Although we, as a
rule, think there is only one variety of lemon,
there are really two Citrus Lumla, the sweet
lemon, and Citrus Limonium, the true lemon
Citrus Lumia is deficient IN citric acid; there
fore these are pleasan,er 20 suck or eat, like
oranges, than Citrus Limonium For drinks
they require the addition of citric acid. The
lemons that are hard and have a slightly
oreenish hue contain the most citric acid
Lemons, unless fresh, soon get m'udly-that
is, in a week or so. To prevent them from
doing this they should not be allowed 10
touch each other. If each one IS wrapped up
in tissue paper this cannot occur. Some peo-
ule put them in a large stone jar, cover them
with water, and renew the water every three
DAYS. or oftener if it smells. But the best
way is TO buy them fresh.-Ex.
