Webster's Nimble Wit

Daniel Webster, when in full prac-
tice, was employed to defend the will of
Roger Perkins of Hopkinton A ply
stefan made affidavit that the testator
was struck with death when he signed
the will. Webster subjected his testi-
mony to a most thorough examination,
showing, by quoting medical authori-
ties, that doctors disagree as to the pre-
else moment when dying man is struck
with death-some affirming that it is at
the commencement of the disease, others
at its climax, and others still affirm that
we begin to die as soon as we are born
81 should like to know" said the op-
posing counsel, "what doctor maintains
that theory"
Doctor Watts" said Mr.. Webster
with great dignity. THE moment VIC
begin to live we all begin to die"

How We Seem to Ourselves.

1t has been said by one who ought to
know that no man has any clear con-
ception of how he himself looks. The
expression OF the face is continually
changing. No artist, no camera can
catch this changing, heeting, evanes-
cent expression. When you look in
the glass the very intent to find out
how you look is depicted on your face.
The more you strive, the more the in
tent is intensified, and such an express
sion is not natural to your face. How
often do we look at photograph and
find only disappointment in it? Why
is this? The camera depicts the. sitter
just as he is at the moment the picture
is taken, but very seldom can the in
struments catch and record that subtle
thing called natural expression" be-
cause few persons are natural when
seated before the camera.
Well what of all this? Simply this,
If you are noble looking, loving and
true, such virtues will light up your
face if you are sordid, mean and sell
fish, your face proclaims it to the world.
Anything in your life that is active for
either good or evil will impress itself
upon your personal appearance. Pride
scorn, hate and lust write themselves in
dellibly III the pbysiognomy. When
such ignoble qualities rule the life, and
have become habitual, they are impress
ed in the face and finally become habit
ual to the countenance, and the fea-
lures themselves become permanently
changed TO accord with such express
sions.
II has often been remarked that per-
sons who have been married for long
term of years come to look something
alike, nor is this surprising when we
call to mind that their life and environ
ments are one, made up Of the same
joys and SORROWS, the same hardships
and trials, and the same successes and
pleasures-in short, the intellectual and
spiritual atmosphere Of both is to con-
siderable extent identical, and we know
that these things affect the physiog-
nomy often to such degree as to mold
the physical features of the face into
the same shape.

Build Against Rats

The loss to corn-growers from rats is a
heavy tax. 1t would be interesting to
know the extent of damage done to the
farmers produce by these wasteful boar
ders. Where corn is slowed in cribs to
which rats have access, as they have to
the bulk of the crop, the damage in one
year is not easily comprehended Sup
Jose that the rats damage | per cent of
the corn cribbed or piled in sheds and
barns and we have an an nual loss of one
bushel in every 100, or 10000, 900
bushels in crop of 1000. 900, 900.
But il the farmer with corn in rail pens
or cheap board pens will take the pains
to find out his actual loss from rats he
will find that oftentimes it would run
up 10 5 per cent. The loss is largely
avoldable, yet if not prevented increases
from year to year as rats multiply.
1t will soon be time to crib corn. If
the cribs are set on posts extending a
foot above the ground and capped with
AN inverted tin pan, and the crib is not
in contact with any other building or
object by which rats can climb into the
crib. the corn is safe from rats. The
iuci, ased cost of making a crib rat
proof will be saved in one year. If we
ia the corn belt are to be saved from the
plague Of rats we must build against
ihem The common plan Of harboring
aud feeding them is worse than harbor-
ing tramps We know the stock of
rats on the farm can be reduced so that
the sight of one is rare, and the loss Of
corn in store is nothing, because We
have tried it, 1t is only necessary to
store grain where rats cannot get at it
to reduce their numbers Our stores
of grain and corn are their chief sup
port. After one has built rat proof cribs
aud grain bins then trust to poison and
cats to keep away invaders.
II cats are fed milk at the barns they
will stay there unless petted and spoiled
at the house We have no use for dogs
or rats 1t is not enough to build the
cribs aud grain bins rat-proof In
building stables and hog-pens We have
an eye to lessening the chances for rat
harbors Feeding floors laid on the
ground or piles Of old lumber or rails
make hiding places where dogs or cats
cannot reach them. IL old lumber and
rails are set on end aud not laid on the
ground we find cats can pass through
and rats do not take refuge there L
feeding floors are laid 10 few inches
Of coarse sand or cinders rats will moi
burrow under them until the floors have
been used few years and the sand OF
cinders become packed. Then lift the
floors and renew the bed II we are
to check the inroads and increase oil
rats we must build against them and
refuse TO harbor and feed them Glen

old saying that poor COW can make

them is an excellent way to dispose of
such, as cows will eat cornstalks and
straw il she cannot get something bet
ter, but with the economy of feeding
thus practiced the COW may give but
very little milk The cheapest food is
that which increases the product, as its
cost is regained and a profit is left.
