TO GET RID OF RATS.
Writer Recommends Tipping the Yer

Writer Recommends dipping the Yer.
min in Varnish.
All tradesmen being liable to the
incursions and depredatfons OF rats,
it may not be out Of place to mention
method of getting rid Of these pests
which is recommended by cores
pondent Ne of the Birmingham Daily
Post This consists IN thinning down
with petroleum ordinary slow drying
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs of the rats.
The vermin are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
thing to get clear Of it. A still more
effective plan is said to be to catch a
rat alive, dip it up to the neck in the
varnish and turn it loose. Its fer
lows will fee from 1t as from the
dell. The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But some
lronmongers may not care to dip a
live rat up to it's neck. !"

Overlooked a Detail.

A Long Island farmer came to
Brooklyn with his wife to do some
shopping the other day. On his way
back the thought came to him that he
had forgotten something. He took
out his notebook and went over each
item, checking it off, and saw that he
had made ell the purchases he intend
ed. AS he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He again took out his
notebook and rechecked every item,
but still found no mistake. He did
this several times, but could not rid
himself Of the idea that he must have
forgotten something, When he
reached home and drove up to the
house his daughter came out to meet
him, and, with look Of surprise,
asked: why, papa, where is moth
er?"--Mail and Express.

Historic Hoax Perpetrated by Gusta-

King Gustavus III. Of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court Of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany and as soon as the
Duchess Of Mecklenburg heard Of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdalned
the petty courts Of the small rulers,
sent two of his attendants-a page
named Peyron, and DeSvouges, a valet
who had formerly been an actor-to be
entertained by the duchess. The two
personated the king and his minister,
Baron Spare, and sustained the char.
acters throughout. They accepted as
their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who were presented to
them, and Peyron went so far as to
ask one Of the ladies for her portrait

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
Be Rememb cred,


To teach a child with success re.
quires only common sense, good judg-
ment and gen tleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be- foremost IN the mind
of the teacher
First Of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart Instruction.; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehen sion, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there Is the
infexible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving IT. in order to present 1t
in an interes ting and ineligible way.
Third, there Is the ever present dan.
ger Of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fire.
Quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped 80 long as to-
morrow repr esents another day.--The
Household.

Advancement Of Women.

At meeting of the English Won
