Many means of killing those ver-l tiiln aro open to the liouseliojilor, but A)SO man} of these while offec-l tlve art* Impractical from oil" cause I or another. The two means to he considered are primarily tho use of trap and the line of poison. Trup?l are usrful but l" preparing tlu-si* they should he handled with gloves I rather than hare hands to avoid tho warning human odor. They ma I ho halted with bread or better with a piece of toasted cheese and placed near the openings where the rnts or mice enter rooms. Tho wlr.el spring traps aro very fonn as they are flat and Ineonspleuou* I and have nothing particularly huh plclous in their general appearance For mice the box traps also answer very well. Where obtainable, the new type of glass Jar traps which J liavf recently been put on the mat- 1 ket appear very desirable. ' In poisoning, especially about thel house, there aro certain consldera-l tlons which should be takon into ac count, First, such strong poisons as strychnine, whilo it will kill the pests, is a sourco of. danger to man- 1 kind ? especially to young children | who might be poisoned by accident. There i? also another fault with many o{ tho strong poisons due to the fact that the animal is killed too quickly, thus.dylng inside the house, frequently dying between the Willis or in oUjer In accessible places and' causing a stench which will be a sourso of great discomfort or possibly disease. A poison which acts slowly, allowing the animal time to get outside the buildings in Its frantic search for water to re lieve Its agony Is thus much better than -those quickly acting poisons so often used. Many patented com pounds are upon the market which, arc said to be prepared with- this | idea in view, but. every householder . may rapidly prepare his own and at less expense. The poison most gen orally recommended for this pur-j poso is carbonate .of barium or as^ it is more commonly called "bary-J tes." This may be bought In pow-| dered form at moBt drug stores and. is relatively cheap in v price. For preparing, the most common method Is to mix up one part of the barytesj and six parts of corn meal or oat I meal with enough water to form a thick dough. This dough is placed where the pest# can readily get at: it and left to do its work. The; barytes has no taste or odor and ^ kills very slowly, often requiring j several hours, during which time the animal will leave the house to feeek water. Another point in re gard to this poison is that in the proportions used It is comparatively, harmless to higher animals. The method of use may be varied by mif ing the barytes with grated particles; of toasted cheese, etc., or some other palatable material. M. P. Somes, j z s ? ! MR. HC1IKNK DEAD. FToiiiinet Yoimjf *1^ Wednes day in Baltimore. News was received in ? Camden Wednesday afternoon that Mr. Paul Schenk, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schenk, had died in Baltimore that afternoon, where he had been for several weeks undergoing treat ment. w Mr. Schenk was a graduate of Da vidson college, and had been in ill health since leaving his studies. Ilis parents last year sent him for a trip to Europe in hopes of improv ing his health, but upon his return he suffered a complete breakdown and was sent to Baltimore for treat ment. Mr. Schenk was only about 20 I years of age, an unusually bright and studious young man and his death coming in the prime of younj? manhood Iirs cast a gloom over the community. Much sympathy is felt by the entire city for the fond par ents in the death of their first born. The interment will occur at the I Jewish cemetery at thla place.

When a' young gi?>l, Miss Sill )? one of her hands caught In a sugar cane mill and in trying to extricate one with the other, both arms were cut off. Thus she went through life a cripple, but notwithstanding her affliction she attended to a ro marbable degree her household du ties and superintending of her farm work. There are many who will be pained to learn of this good lady's death. Death of h ltaby. Beatrice, the five months ol( daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. 1).
