EASILY SETTLED.-The Chicago man
who had gone on a business trip to
Omaha had started home again. He
had been compelled to run several
blocks to catch the train and was
somewhat overheated. The tempera-
ture of the car was over 100 degrees
and still climbing. He stood it for
about five minutes, and then tried to
open window.
1t was one of those car windows
that are not built for opening purpo-
ses, and it didn't open.
He tried another window, with the
same result.
The third window stuck equally
tight, and he raised his foot and kicked
a large hole through the plate glass.
The conductor heard the crash and
came running into the car.
"Who broke that window ?' he de-
manded threateningly.
"I did," said the Chicago man.
"Well, sir, it will cost you just 81! J!
"Here it is," said the other, handing
him q $40 bill.
"I-I haven't change for that" said
the conductor, somewhat taken aback.
"Never mind the change" replied
the Chicago man. "Keep it,"
He raised his foot again, kicked out
another window, took newspaper out
of his pocket, sat down and went to
reading as if nothing had happened.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-07-14

HORSES In DARE STABLEs.-The
pupil of horses eye is enlarged by
being kept in a dark stable; he has
harness put on him and is suddenly
brought out into glaring sunlight,
which contracts the pupil so suddenly
as to cause extreme pain. By per-
severing in this very foolish and in
iudicious, as we'll as cruel practice,
the nerve OF the eye becomes impair
ed, and if continued long enough loss
of sight will ensue. To see how pain
full it is to face a bright light after
having been in the dark, take a
walk some dark night for short
time till the eyes become used to
the darkness, then drop suddenly into
some well-lighted room, and you will
scarcely be able to see for few mo-
ments in the sudden light. You know
how painful it is TO yourself, then why
have your horses to repeatedly bear
such unnecessary pain?

NEW METHOD OF FRUIT PRESERVING.

Details of new process for keeping
fruit in a fresh condition have recently
been received from France. A scient.
ist noted that pears and apples kept
for several months in an atmosphere
saturated with vapors of water and al
cohol, and he resolved to carry the ex-
pertinent further with view to learn
ing the possibility of reducing the
scheme to the requirements of every
day needs and methods. With this
object in view the operator placed q
variety of fruit, including grapes, TO.
gether with a bottle containing 81
cubic inches of alcohol at Sc degrees in
brick receptacle from which the light
and air were excluded by common
wooden door. In two similar recep-
tacles, the door of one being left open
and that of the other closed, but the
alcohol being absent from both, other
fruit was placed, and they were placed
in deep cellar, the atmosphere OF
which registered about so degree.
Twenty days later the contents of the
two last named chambers were found
to be absolutely worthless, but the re-
ceptacle in which the bottle of alcohol
had also been placed presented very
different spectacle. Not only were the
grapes firm, full and entirely free from
mould, but the bloom upon them was
found to be as fresh as though the
bunch had just been taken from the
vine. The chamber was closed for
another month, and at the end of that
period everything was still as fresh as
formerly, and the freshness was evil
dent equally as much in the taste as
in the appearance. These experiments
have certainly added to our methods
of fruit preserving process which is
not only inexpensive, but exceedingly

AN IRRESISTIBLE BAIT For RATS.

AN IRRESISTIBLE BAIT For RATS,
According to Washington correspon.
dent to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, an interesting, not to say
valuable, discovery has been made by
Captain Weedin, in charge of the ami
mails at the Zoo. TIE building is in
tested by rats, and low to get rid OF
them has long been a perplexing ques'
ton. Traps were used, but nothing
would tempt the rodents to enter. In
storeroom drawer was placed a quan.
tity of sunfower seeds, used as food
for some of the birds. Into this draw,
er the rats gnawed their way, fact
which led the captain to experiment
with them for bait in the traps. The
result was that the rats can't be kept
out. A trap which appears crowded
with six or eight rats is found some
mornings to hold fifteen. They are
turned into the cages containing wea.
sells and minks. The latter will kill q
rat absolutely almost before one can
see it, so rapid are its movements
The weasels are a trife slower, but
none of the rats escape them.
