A BIG BATTLE WITH RATS.
They Swarm over walter Carter and He
Kills Io2 of Them.

Walter Carter of Camden, N. j., wen
a hard-earned victory over an army Of
rats the ether morning. When the
battle was finished and be counted the
heap of his fallen enemies he found 1e2
of them. Carter is a member Of the
firm of Roberts e. Carter, provision
dealers. For a long time the firm has
suffered serious damage from the depre-
dations of rats. 1t was Mr.. Carriers
habit to open the store in the msrnins
and he invariably heard O great scam
pering ever the place as he entered. He
concluded at last to have II out with the
little beasts, and began an investigation
to find their rendezvous. AS he opened
the door of a small brick smokehouse In
the rear of the store, now little used, he
saw at least dozen rats run int holes
in the floor and walls. They quickly re-
covered from their fright. however, and
soon emerged and glared viciously at
him out of their little black eyes. Car
ter went out and got short thick club
and a lantern, and then re-entered the
smokehouse. This time he closed the
door behind him. The dim light Of the
lantern served to daze the rats, and
Carter had no difficulty in killing three
big fellows. AS they gave vent to
dying squeaks scores of other rats
emerged from the holes and swarmed
around the young man on all sides. The
rats leaped at his hands and face and
crawled over his feet, all the while keep
ing up horrible din or squealing. One
after another of the soft, ugly things
struck him as he stood dealing blows
right and left. Still their numbers null
tiplied, and the fighter began to fear
that the rats would get the better of
him. He had been bitten several times
on the hands, but had managed to keep
the rats from his head and face. Thus
~ fight kept up for fully fifteen min
utes, and Carter was growing weary.
At last, however, he felt that the num-
bers Of the rats were gradually thinning
out, and he had less trouble in keeping
them off him. When no more rats ap-
peared Carter got out into the open air
and gathered himself together. In a
few minutes he recovered, and, pillng up
the dead rats, found that he had killed
102 OF them.-Camden Correspondence

Caesars statue Change. color.

Chicago Tribune: If Augustus Caesar
could come to life and see his statue as
it new looks, down in trent of the art
institute, that warrior surely would
drop dead again." 1t and that OF
Hermes are painted a bright orange.
The two statues, together with the
larger one of Flora, have stood in a
niche over the entrance almost since
the first opening Of the art institute.
But it is safe to say that not half of
the people whe entered the doors ever
gave them a thought and scarcely a
glance until yesterday.
She, too, stood out in bold relief
against the smoky background of the
building yellower than any of the fall
crop of pumpkins. People who went
hurrying along the. street stopped the
instant they beheld them.
Talk about impressionism," said a
man who apparently knew something
of art, mot the most rabid piece of
work in Europe could compare with
that"
Those inside, who understood that
the bright yellew was only a printing
preparatory to a coat of bronze, en-
joyed the joke immensely. Like the
boy with the trick on All Foois' Day,
they stood behind the glass doors and
waited to see the effect on everysnew-
conner.

Care OF the Breeding Boar.

Mr.. James Riley of Indiana gives the
following sensible advice in the Swine
Breeders Journal"
First, the boar should be kept In a
lot separated from the sows; grass lot
Is preferable, where he can have plenty
OF shade and pure water. Feed good,
healthful food, not much corn; ground
oats and ground wheat, about two-thirds
oats and one-third wheat make an ex-
cellent food In winter, or through the
breeding season, feed some oil meal
once or twice a week; also give him
Duttermilk, as the acid in II reduces his
flesh and helps to keep him vigorous.
Don't let the boar get too poor. 1t is
mistake to let him get as poor IS jobs
turkey. To get lots of pigs, the boar
should be kept in good, healthy condi-
tlon, not too fat, to make him sluggish,
or too poor, but in as good health as
possible to get good, strong, healthy
pigs. We should remember that this is
laying the foundation of success in the
coming pig crop. If the pigs come
weakly and diseased, no amount of feed
will bring them out.
The service Of the boar is very ini-
portant, and where a great many mis-
takes are made. Some will turn the
boar in with the SOW, or several sows,
perhaps, and let them run with him all
through the period Of heat. The boar
viii, no doubt, serve a SOW six or eight
times during her heat. This will rua
him down, until he will not get fuli,
strong filters. Every breeder and farm
er, as well as those who raise hogs,
should have breeding box. This car
be easily made of common fence boards,
1x5 inches; make it 16 to Is inches
wide, 26 inches high, and five feet long
without top or bottom. Nail a seven
inch slat across the bottom of the real
end Of the box, then make bridge
three feet long, two feet wide and sever
inches high. Place this at the rear end
OF the box; when the SOW is In, thli
will give the boar seven inches eleVa'
ton, and in this way he can serve the
larger SOW without straining himself
One service is enough; then put the
SOW in quiet place by herself until sh'
goes out of heat. This is for large soW'
and large boars. If small SOW and 9
large boar are used, put a temporary
bottom in the box to raise the SOW. Al
ways watch and assist the SOW by plac'
ing a board under her belly to hold hei
up; in this way small sows may Dc
bred to heavy boars."

It Came to Him Through Reading aD
Article About JAS. Corbett.
(From the Times, Adrian, Mich.)
Two miles east of Clayton, Mich, there
lives a man, Mr.. Charles Smith, whose lot
1t has been TO suffer for twelve Long years
without help. Recently 1t was yumored
that Mr.. Smith had in some remarkable
manner, nearly regained his health A
Times and Expositer reporter, calling upon
Mr.. Smith TO learn the truth Of the matter,
found him in field harvesting oats. When
questioned about the rumor afoat concern
ing him, Mr.. Smith promptly replied that
IL was true.
He said that for twelve years past he had
been troubled with sciatic rheumatism, that
his suferings had been at times well nigh
unbearable, and that until April last he had
not been able - obtain relief Now, he
said, he hoped soon TO he entirely cured.
The reporter inquired what had effected
this remarkable change. Mr.. Smith re-
piled that last April he learned Of some
astonishing cures that had been performed
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
These cures, and in particular the case of
James j. Corbett, an account of which APP
peared In the Times and Exposit0r, induced
him to try the pills. After taking two
boxes he thought he was entirely cured.
The rheumatism returned in n measure,
however, and he is again taking the pills
with full confidence that two boxes more
will entirely eradicate the disease from
his system.
Mr. Smith made a sworn statement of
these facts, of which the following is a
copy:

at times my suffering has been almost I'M
bearable. / had tried various remedies
