How to Rid Barns of Rats.

Here is a farmers mode for Kidding
his premises of rats and mice. says the
Tennessee Tomahawk: IF you will
sprinkle sulphur on your barn floor
and through your corn as you gather
it, there will not be a rat or mouse to
bother. have done this several years
and have never been bothered with
rats or mice. l have some old corn in
my crib at present and not rat or
mouse can be found. In stacking hay
or oats, sprinkle on the ground and a
little through each load, and, my word
for it, rats or mice can't stay there.
A pound Of sulphur will be sufficient
to preserve a large barn of corn and it
is good for stock and will not hurt the
corn for bread"

PICTURE POINTERS.
How 10 Hang Them and Some Advice
About Their Care.

How 10 Hang Them and Some Advice
About Their Care.
In hanging pictures remember that
the fat appearance of walls always
should be preserved Do not let the
pictures tilt forward at the top and if
the wires by which they are hung
show they should be in straight lines
from two hangers and not from cen
trail one making obIique lines. The
rings to which the wires are attached
should be inserted near the top of the
frame
When hanging pictures people often
spoil their walls by driving in nails
haphazard, only to find the nails bend
because they are being hammered
against bricks. The right method is
to pierce the wall with darning nee
die to find the crevice between the
bricks and then drive in the nail.
A device for hanging a group of
small framed pictures consists of a
small bar with brass tipped ends. This
is hung from the high picture holding
of the wall, and the small pictures are
suspended from it, attached by brass
chains. This continuance obviates the
necessity of driving several nails into
the wall for the small pictures.
In hanging pictures a study of sur
roundings is of most Importance. Col
ors in harmony with the pictures
should predominant in the furnishings
and should be in such subdued tones
as will, like good children, not insist
on being seen or heard until called
upon. Above all, care should be taken
as to wall coverings. Avoid large pat
termed papers and papers with any pat
tern at all if possible. The plain col
ored cartridge papers in rather dark
half tones of terra Gotta, sage or gray
blue are the best possible backgrounds
for pictures of any kind, marbles or
bric-a-brac.
In house cleaning one of the principal
cares should be the pictures. 1t is too
often overlooked or left in the hands
of servants, when the mistress should
give it her personal attention Each
picture as it is taken down should be
carefully busted and the cord or wire
wiped. Then lay it on table, wash
the glass and polish it until it is per-
fectly clear. Wipe the frame with a
soft cloth wet in warm water and
rub off all fly specks and other dirt
If the picture is framed with glass,
paste paper smoothly all over the back,
to keep dust from sitting through the
cracks.

Good beef sold for a cent pound in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth in Eng
land. Pork sold at the same price, a
chicken at 2 cents and a fat goose at s
cents. That was before the days of
knives and forks, chimneys for the
houses, glass for windows, guns and
gunpowder, and when every man had
to provide his own armor. pike and
bow and arrow and be ready on a mo-
ment's warning to join the army. This
was when the courts hung a man for
stealing as small a sum as $3.50, or a
sheep, or for killing game on the bar
on's estate.

Mountain and Valley Breezes and
How They Originate.


The meteorological is gradually di-
vesting the wind of its mystery and is
able to explain convincingly how and
when it originates. The study of a
great number of observations taken 81
multaneously all over the country and,
in fact, all over two continents has en-
abled the expert to foresee just when
wind and storm will arrive at certain
sections of the country.
OF course the physical topography of
any neighborhood has its influence on
the local storms, fogs and prevailing
winds. The s.mountain" and valley
breezesn that are so eagerly sought
during the summer recreation or So
journ is an instance of the effect of
mountains on local clima@e and wealth
er conditions. As explained by pro-
lessor of meteorology, because of ac-
tive radiation at night the layers of
air near the earth become cooled, and
as cool air is heavier than warm air,
law of physics that is generally ap-
preciated theoretically, but usually
overlooked practically, this heavy air
tends to move down the hillside. The
tendency becomes after time suffi-
GENTLY pronounced to produce a gen
eral downhill movement, eventually re-
sulting in a perceptble breeze.
That is what is commonly designated
locally as 1.-THE mountain breeze" and
which, from its origin, is practically in
one constant direction, though the in
tervention of powerful storms may
temporarily reverse the customary
movement. Vice versa, during the day
the presence of warmer and therefore
lighter air near the earth causes a
movement of the atmosphere with an
upward tendency, creating the SO call
ed valley breezes. In certain favora-
bly, situated localities the appearance
of the mountain or the valley breeze
is as regular as clockwork the transit
tional period being marked by calm.

A few years ago a measure was seri-
ously considered by congress to appro-
pirate the sum of 100000 for the
purpose of exterminating the Russian
thistle, a pest which it was feared
would overrun all the farms of the
west. The appropriation was not
made, and while the weed drifted
down into the corn belt, along the
rights of way of the railroads, it never
obtained any foothold, and even where
it worked its way into the fields in
Dakota it is now no longer feared. Pi-
geon grass, wild barley, purslane and
ragweed are what take the heavy toll
from the corn belt farmers

It never rusted and yielded large

degenerate condition of the oat crop

gest the wisdom of trying the black
oat again

The trouble which many farmers
meet with in having fences on bottom
lands and across runs and streams
swept away by freshets may be to
some extent prevented by planting a
row of willows on the line up to the
bank of the stream and using the trees
as posts. This only applies to such
streams as do not carry large masses
of floating ice in the spring.

Some of them left St. Louis at the close of the exposi- tion and have been making their way through adjoining states for the past month.

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure from Unexpected Sources-A
 Clothes-Reel Comedy.

The Italian immigrant has a happy gift of extracting pleasure from unexpected sources, so many commonplace objects of his new home are yet wonders to him. A woman who lives in a pretty su. burban residence, the long garden of which runs back to a small court upon which a row of tene- ment houses has just been erect ed, discovered this recently when she found a group of dark-eyed, dirty little boys dancing ecstat. ically on the platform of her clothes dryer.
 They were cheering on daring comrade,. who was clinging to the outer cross-bar of the reel, relates the Youths Companion. One of his mates had set it spinning, and the other boy was dizzily gyrat. ing aloft, mingling his excited squeals of joy with the creaks and groans of the overburdened ma. chine. Even as she looked there was an ominpus snap, and the fly ing cHerub came suddenly to earth at Ner feet, where he sat softly rubbing himself and staring up at her, too dazed to cry. For the sake of their own youthful bones she thought it a case for severity, and began to scold the intruders as sternly as she knew how, conclud. ing rather helplessly with an ,m- patient, "Whatever made you do such a silly thing, anyhow? An. swer me, can't you?"
 "Bullafuna, signorinaw whim. pered the fallen one. And it was not until the remark was trans. lated by an Irish youngster, who was peeping through the fence, that she learned what the Italian lad meant.
 x "Sure, he says it's bully fun," the Irish boy interpreted.
 Arguments and remonstrances quite failed to overcome the dan- gerous fascination of such a de- lightful gymnastic apparatus. The woman had finally to take it down and resort to the ancient and in- convenient clothes-line instead.
 A far funnier case of perverted entertainment occurred lately in a Connecticut town in which the drawbridge tender complained to the police that the Italian resi-. dents had fallen into the habit of riding on the draw as if it were a merry go round.
 Sometimes there's as many as 500 of them," he complained; ESQ many that the draw won't work properly, and it most kills me try. ing to turn the crank. When I holler at them to get off, they just holler back, and don't budge. They aren't ugly, but they won't mind. They all come - mothers and babies, fellows and girls, and sometimes they bring a hurdy. gurdE and dance while the bridge swings round. It's fun for them, but it's death to me. It's got to be stopped or I'll resign. The city didn't hire me to run whirii. zig si le show to circus"
