BACTERIA SOUP FOR RATS.
It Is Used for the Purpose of Exter-
minating the Destructive
Pests in France.

In a long report to the state depart
msnt John e. Gowdy, consul general of
the United States at Paris, describes new
methods of exterminating rats and mice.
The process was devised by the Fasteur
institute and use is made of microbes
or bacteria mixed in a solution rcsemb-
ling soup.
Scientists representing the institute
recently experimental on attract of near
ly 5000 acres badly infested with the
rodents. The ground was literally per-
forated with holes leading to under
ground passages. The farmers of the
vicinity were interested and gave their
services to help the scientists. The
bacteria were placed on bait in and near
the holes all I'VE the region, four tons
of bread and nine tons of oats being used
as bait.
The results were astounding. Rats
and mice were killed in such quantities
that their dead bodies became almost as
much of a pest as the rodents were when
living. Fifteen and 20 rats were fire.
q~uently found dead in one hole. The
scientists estimated that they had Killed
fully 95 per cent. of the rats and mice
living in the tract treated.
A field of 2h acres was selected and
12,4S4 rat holes were counted. These
were closed and two days later it was
found that 1904 had been opened. The
bait was used and eight days later only
81 holes had been opened. The chamber
of deputies has been asked to pass a law
requiring farmers to cooperate to ex-
terminate rats with the bacteria. The
government will furnish the material.
The cost of culture Is about three cents

party can succeed in maintaining its
ascendance in the county and State
they will not only dictate it's policy
at home and control all State and
county patronage coming to it, bat
be in position in the near future to
lay hold of the Federal patronage too.
This in fact is self evident.
The Strong leaders include not only
ex-senator Strong himself, hut his
father, who is Judge of the common
pleas, and his brother q leading law
yer and counsel Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, Prosecutor George Berdine
and State Senator Jackson, and neces-
sarily, if he accomplishes their re-
election the three Republican Assem-
blymen. Here are four votes John
Kean will want to count ON next
winter and Senator Dryden, who is
already indebted to Middlesex's sup
port for his election the last time,
will want it again before Senator
Jacksons' successors term will ex-
pire. One of the strongest and most
compact Republican machines in the
State will, therefore. be the one pro-
jected in Middlesex county and Theo.
dore Strong will dominic it. After
Congressman Howell and County
Clerk Conger have the usufruct OF
their present terms, if Theodore
Strong lives, the road to Republican
preferment would seem to lead to the
doors of his ofice-unless the Repub-
lican party fails to land.

WATER CURES TIE INSANE.
Novel and Successful Treatment of
Lunatics in a New York
Asylum.

Some $500 insane women are under
treatment at the Manhattan state hos
pital on Wares island, in East river.
Here the physicians in charge have of
bite Been putting into practice the most
novel and revolutionary treatment ever
attempted in an institution for the treat
ment of lunatics,, 1t is a form of water
cure, says a recent report,
A fighting, apparently irrepressible
patient, is taken into the bathroom by
two attendants and placed in what1ooks
to be an ordinary porcelain bathtub, on
which rests a raftlike frame. The pa
tient is placed IN this, and by a simple
process the plastic strips of the frame
are lowered until the raft becomes a
cradle, in which the patient rests.
At first there is much kicking and
splashing, bet the attendants keep a
l1rm hold on the patient, and the doctor
at the marble table keeps his hand on
The lever and his eye on the thermom-
eter before him. The water in the tub
is controlled by this lever and is main
tanned ordinarily at a temperature OF
about IS degrees. Soon the soothing eff
rect OF the warm water on the ends of the
ag1tated nerves begins to tell, and the pa
tient grows less violent, and finally lies
perfectly calm and content. Soon the
patient sleeps.
The length of time during which the
patient is left in the tub depends on the
character of the disease andthe physical
condition. Sometimes the subject re-
mains only a few hours. sometimes for
days or even weeks, The longest time
during which a patient is kept contin-
uously in the tub is between three and
four weeks. Day and night the patient
swings %contentedly in the cradle in the
bathtub, takes heI meals there and
sleeps there.
Soon the patient has been transformed
into a tractable, peaceful being on the
road to rapid recovery.
OF course, there are many conditions
which the full hot bath cannot be
used advantageously. For these there
are specialized baths, which are equal
ly effective in their way. The sitz bath
Tor c~ataleptics and other forms of men,
tai disturbance is constantly in use, and
the hot air cabinet, which is one of the
important adjuncts of the %hydrothera-
peutic system, is substituted for drugs in
relieving pain. 1t has been found quite
as efficient, and there are no depressing
after results.
Other accessories of the department
are the rain bath, needle bath, warm and
cold packs and the Scotch douche. The
asst is one of the most forceful tonics
that can be employed. 1t is regulated
from the marble table, as are the various
baths. The patient stands at q. dis
of about 10 feet, and tie Cctlor,
keeping one hand on the levc- rrhich
controls the cold water and the other
on that which controls the water heated
to a fixed temperature, turns on a stream
Of n and then the other. The ther-
mometer in front of him enables him to
gauge the temperature accurately and
there is an indicator by means of which
the force Is measured.

OF
POLITICS HERE.
Monmouth County Has Some
thing to Say About Republican
Harmony in MiddIesex.
STRONG ON TOP.

The Freehold Transcript sums mp
the Republican situation in Middle
sex county rs follows:
II what the New Brunswick Times
has to my is true it looks as if the
Middlesex Republicans had come to
terms, among themselves despite all
the recent brave talk or the IL hand
of preventing Congressman Howell's
reuomination and on the other of
"making it warm" Likewise for his
right hand man, County CLERK John
H. Conger.
According to the Times the factions
have "got together" and the recon-
struoted machine is on top through an
"amicable arrangement. Tho under
standing Is reported to include Mr..
Howell's unopposed denomination for
Congress, and ditto for Mr.. Conger
as County CLERK. Each is to "get
there if he can and to llave the sup
port of those who have been threaten
ing to oppose their denominations so
vigorously as at least to make them
"come HIGH" and, possibly %endanger
success at the polls through the IN
FILTERED disaffection.
Whether Collector Robert Carson,
of Perth Amboy and New Brunswick,
is embraced in the combine and Pos t.
master George Tice, of Perth Amboy,
who have been conspicuous opponents
of the Strong party, remains to be
seen. II not, n good deal Of fence re-
pairing will be required to keep their
preserves free from hostile inoursion,
and quite possible, Mr.. Howell and
Mr.. Conger in accomplishing their
own purpose may not have been able
to secure equally favorable terms for
their sometimes rather too aggressive
friends. There is reasonable ground
for believing that about all that is as
yet secured for the Howell Conger end
of the combination is the promise to
themselves, and that the rest will be
at matter depending upon what hap
pens this fall. Mr.. Carson has been
adroit enough to manage to take care
of himself heretofore, and will still,
of course, endeavor to make himself
IA treaty power" and Mr.. Tico has q
strong following. in his own section.
Both have heretofore been able to
depaud unon tho hackino of Sanafor
Kean-can they hold it?
The Ultimate advantage Of the bar
gain between former Senator Theodore
Strong and his friends on n side,
and Messrs. Howell and Conger, the
other high contracting PARTIES on the
other, is that it leavest the Strong
people locally in the saddle with the
sure prospect that if thd Republican

a flower is perfect, and butterflies and
other insects light on 1t in search OF
nectar and are Immediately seized by
its fatal claws.-Philadelphia Record.

"Little Brown Man."

An observant Chicago club woman
who recently returned from Japan tells
the following interesting characteristics
of the little brown man"
HE is always a student and always a
poet. The sight of an almond tree in full
bloom will cause him to pour forth his
admiration in poetry, which he writes
on streamers OF rice paper and attaches
to the limbs of the beautiful pink flower
ing tree. Such a tree may in a few days
become the shrine Of hundreds of devo-
tees, each inspired by the sight to a high
pitch of poetic fervor, which vents itself
in the form of more poems, 10 that be-
fore the almond season is over a whole

etical tributes to the beauties of fora.
