senious Means.
Rats are very susceptible to the odor
of certain drugs. and any ordinary trap
set in their haunts is likely to he sue
cessful il dressed with these scents, the
attraction of which, rat catchcrs affirm.
they cannot resist. An example Is:
Powdered assIfetida. eight grains; Oil
OF rhodium. two drains: oil of aniseed.
one dram; oil of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together in a bottle and
use very small quantity TO dress the
bait.
To catch rats. cover a common barrel
with stff. stout paper. tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board so that
the rats may have easy access TO the
top. Sprinkle cheese parincs or other
food for the rats on the paper for sew
oral days until they begin TO think that
they have a right to their daily ratiOns
from this source. Then place in the
bottom of the barrel piece of rock
about six or seven inches high, filling
with water until only enough of 1t
projects above the water for one rat to
lodge upon.
Now replace the paper, first cuttir o.
cross ia the middle, ana the first RAJ,
that comes on The barrel top goes
through into the water ana climbs on
the rock. The paper comes back to its
original position, and the second rat
follows the first. Then begins a fight
for the possession OF the dry place on
the stone the noise of which attracts
the others, who share the same fate.

STOH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
fammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a tortnenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
