They bare usually preferred to re tiro to their inaooeesihle retreats iu tho wall as soon as they have felt tho symptoms of arson- ical poisoning, and the low state of sani tary adenoo prevailing in their Com munities is suen that poisoned rats are never properly buried or incinerated by their associates. The problem has been 1»W to kill the rats without bringing nn- ""”^eiuuiEl"S2for8Tiifo IheluniMn. Mrs. Benedict has solved the difficulty k and is entitled to the honor we give to an inventor and benefactor. She was en gaged, it appears, in the domestic manu facture of plnater casts of various kinds. Oomnlaint having lieen mode of the fragility of those wares, Mrs. Benedict began a course of experiments with tho hope of giving greater durability 4o her oasts. One of her devices was to mix whonten flour with her pulverized plaster of Paris, so that tho gluten of the flour might make tho past less brittle. One evening she hail visitors, who rang the door-bell just as she was sifting the mix ed plaster and flour for tho third time by way of mixing them intimately, ns tho chemists wotxld say. Hho had already set a dish of water at hand, intending to make a cast at once, and when the door bell rang she hastily removed her apron and went to welcome her guests, leaving her materials upon tho kitchen floor. ‘“TlW'gueata stayed nntil late ImmI tinio, and when they bid her adieu Mrs. Bene dict went to bod without returning to tho kitchen. What happened in the night was this. A rat, sniffing the odor of flour, made up the legs of the table to tho to]), where he was speedily joined by other foragers— his brethereu. The dish of flour and plaster waa easily reached, and the ruts ate freely and hastily of it, as it is their custom to do. It was rather a dry supper, and, water being at hand, each rat turned from the Kray disE of flour and plaster to alake his thirst with water. Every body who has had to do with plaster of Pans will guess at once what happened. The water drank first.wotted tho plaster in the rats' stomachs, and then, iu tech nical phrase, “set” it; that is to say, the plaster tlins made into paste instantly grew hard in each rats’ stomach, making a coat of its convolutions. The event proved that, with such a’cast in existence, it is impossible for a rat to retreat oven aorou a kitchen. °\ The next mornin^thirtceh of them lay dead in a circle around the water dish. * Mrs. Benedict, like a wise woman, kept her secret and made profit of it. Hue undertook, for a consideration, to clear the premules of her ueighlxa-s of the - posts, and succeeded, it was not long before tho town was us free of this sort of vermiu as if the pied piiwr of Hrfmeliu had traveled th# way. Then Mrs. Bene dict advertised for agents to work up the business throughout the country, wiling | each the secret for a fair price. Serf York Evening I'ont. Title to PnMlc Lands bj Pre-Emption.

There waa not a bone in the one which did not «X- ist in the other—not a single constitu ent in the one that waa not to be found in tho other. In the caae of the dog there waa not that which, on snperfleia examination, answered to the collar-bone of tho man ; but close dissection would disclose, in the ease of the lower animal, a little bone varying in length from s third to half an inch, which wua indu bitably a rudimentary collar-bone. It appeared to l>e of no functional import ance, but there it was. Considering tho psychological nature of the dog, the lecturer remarked that, he might be met at the outset with the objection : “I don't believe the dog has a mind.” Well, the only reason ho hod for assuming the dog nail a mind was tho same reason he had for assuming tlmt all prescut had minds. There was no more evidence of tho fact in one than in tho other. Bun a pin into a man and there waa a atari and a cry, by which they came to the conclusion that pain had resulted. Run a pin into a dog, and there was a howl ana an attempt to bite. Could they say that the dog w as a mere piece of animal machinery ? li jtm T lltta SSBS&ftOmm/imnm* had held views of that kind, but com mon-sense people were right. At the same time he was disposed to think that in dogs tile feeling of imin was infinitely duller than in human treings. As to the other senses belonging to dogs, lie was inclined to doubt if dogs could see with anything like the distinctness of man. Their hearing wra indisputably very acute ; but it was a remarkable fact that that sense was regulated pn u totally dif ferent scale in dogs as compared with human Ixdngs. Did they ever hear of a dog taking a pleasure in music ? On tho contrary, it seemed to cause him acute pain, accompanied by a horrible sort of fascination, which fastened him to the K]M>t at which he war. subjected to the torture.

As to tho ability of dogs to find their way from place to place, he believed there was an unconscious regis tration in their minds oLtl»e visual pict ures presented to it in the various tracks through which they passed, and that the memory worked backward until the do'g reached his destination. No one could doubt tho moral disposition of dogs. Rome wore trustworthy, others more or less thieves ; some were amiable, others vicious, and so on. Neither wns there any doubt that a dog hod ideas of equal ity and inequality. They could easily settle that by offering a dog a large and small piece of moat on the same dish, and by olfAorving which he hx>k first. Indeed, there was no fundamental fac ulty connooted with the reasoning ]xm«- ers that might, ndt bo demonstrated to exist in dogs. More Case Than Cure. A Hartford doctor, now deceased,~was wont to boast of his skill in curing cancers, and he invariably nttnded to a most difficult case he treated iu another town. “Most remarkable case,” and the doctor would close his eyes iu-a seemingly dee]) reverie as he uttered the words, and then he would repeat tlvem tWO or three times in gradually receding tones of voice, like the falling cadence of a dying echo—“most remarkalde case; most remarkableicaso. ” Tho old doctor’s manner was such as to leave the irnpres- sion. thot tho cure was quite as remark able ae the case. - —. -. On one occasion a gentleman who had a Cancer on his fact', hod pretty much made up his mind to visit New Turk for treatment, when ho happened in to this Hartford physician's office, and was so impressed with the “ rohiarkalde ease ” that he concluded to be doctored at home, and went to the doctor’s office to make arrangements for tho operation. The doctor was out ou professional-busi ness, but his wife answered the bell, iuul the cancer patient got into conversation with the lady, and among other things, ininx-ently asked how that gentleman out in the country was getting along. “What gentleman do you refer to?” queried the d<x.‘tor's w ife. “Why, that desperate case—that ‘re markable case’ which your husband al ludes to so frequontly. ’ “Oh,” said the wife, a little solemnly, “he’s dead. Ho died during the opera tion.” ' The man left word that he would call again, and then took tho next train to New York. Here is a parallel case: X doctor had discovered an infallible remedy against the cancer. Ho lately undertook a splendid case, treated it splendidly, and buried it ditto.

A resident of one of our largo villages, who had come into possession o: a i ne lot wh ch he Wished to plant, but who ha I had little experiepce with trce c .lt- urc, called bn a neighboring nursery man to make purchases. Ho. wanted nothing but large trees—two inches in MTametcr if he eoul l find them, and ten feet high. Ho cared much less for the kind than for the size—anything w’liich was gigantic, early or late, fruit or orna mental. was eagerly taken. Tho ntfr- seryman frank y gave his opinion that trees of moderate size would bo better, but the purchaser quickly replied: want big trees now—I may not live fot the small ones to grow up.” He carried oil a large load of monsters, in a few years he came again to make a hlitional pH-cltases. The nurseryman* nt once remarked: “I su pose you want all tho largest trees you ran get—I th nk 1 can _ — see anvtJdng it like a man. If you 4sk For It Like a Man.

Tho.-c 1 got of you have scarcely grown any since, and th# smaller ones have overta .cn them, and they are ever so’much handsomer and more thrifty-—give me small, vig orous trees. ” This incident tells tho whole story. and’Should be remembered by every inc \pericncCd plantcrr Many rears ago, .Sir Henry Stewart made a plantation of large t r-oes in tjuMirsisl climate of Sibrlan l. tyiit they made lit tle growth and had a sicklyappoarapeq,' It wits then that* l.eodtmy wbh hri long and extensive experience as a land-capo, gardener, o looed icf make a public test with any one who would try large trees, he him elf planting small - amri -t^rfty ones with full roots, iu rich, deeply trenched, and weir-cult,'vdtud grotind, with the confident assurance tnat in a given number of yeais lio would show trees not only larger but immeasurably finerin appearance. The practical hint to bp derived from these facts at present, by those who made, purchases of large trees last fall, whether already planted or heeled in for next soring, is to give them the ex tra care w hich they require, by spread ing all the roots which they have, equal ly on different sides when they are set, lilling in ail tho interstices among them with fine earth compactly trodden or beaten; brae ng tho trees firmly against the wind by staking; and before the buds swell in spring cutting back all the annual shoots to lighten _ the heads. Taking up a wide circle of uninjured roots is vitally important, hut this may have been omitted. Mellow culture through the summer is absolutely es sential. With all this care, tho trees may in a year or two recover from the check they have met with in removal. But small trees, with the abundant roots which are easily taken up with them, will need no staking, and with subsequent care and the thorough culti vation of the soil, they will spring up and fifrow with scarcely a single season’s chock in growth. Small trees cost less, are more easily dug. have bolter roots, are more easily transplanted, arc not whipped about by the wind, and are more easily trained into the desired form. If pprehased at a distant nur sery, the freight i ill is more easily paid. —-Coun&u UctUUman. everywhere.

The mo>t common disease resultii*’ from it is con-, sumption of the lungs, but otherorgans rrf the body are liable to bo affected os they develop slowly but inrely In any organ that may be in a weak or unhealthy state. If active and healthy, the liver, kidneys, and bowels have to a wonderful extent the power of expelling these deadly an- imalctilae or parasites from the system. And this fact furnishes an important in dication for the successful treatmetit of all the long list of maladies caused by these parasites as will be hereinafter shown. The studies of Laxcisca, an eminent Italian, and Wood, Kokmad and others, are interesiing, as showing the large variety of chronic diseases as heretofore classified, that result from these germs. Among the ratwt common were ’ liver eompUint,” biliousness or torpid liver, dyspepsia or indigestion, lung affections,' bronchitis, kidney diseases, chronic diarrhea*, spina] complaint, fever sores, white swreffingv, .* hip joint disease, rheumatism, malarial diseases, such os fever and ague or Inter mittent fever, general and nervous debil ities. female weaknesses, chronic catarrh of the bead, or ozwna, many form* of unhealthy d Ik barges from internal organs, and all tbs various scrofulous affections of the kkln, glands, bon**i, joints, etc., in- cladinj; consumn.ion, which it but scrofu lous disease of die lung*. In this large catalogue of apparently widely differing disease*, bat really all de-. pending apon a common cause, and there fore naturally to be saeceesfally treated on ihe Mine general principle*. examiaatiMP of the blood and secretions revealed larg* numbers of theae pa routes, sod curiously convenient form under the nartit 1 of Hr Pierre's Golden MedicarDiscoveryr ■ It cart be obtained the world over at drug aiid general stores, and full directions tor its use will bk found in the pamphlet that surrounds each bottle. It eicrtsH** most wonderful stimulating and invigorating influence on the liver, that greatest gland of the human sys'em, which has Wen not inaptly termed the • housekeeper of onf health.” Through Ute inerca.red ac tion of the liver and other etounctory or gans of tlife system, all poisonous germs are rendered inactive and gradiully ex pelled from the system with other impuri ties. In some cases, where there are un healthy discharges, as from the nostrils in cases of either acute or chronic catarrh,the use of Dr. Sage's L'atarili Remedy, a mild and healing antiseptic lotion, should be associated with the use of the Discovery. It Isalsoadvisab e to use this lotion in other local manifestations pf disease of mucou* surfaces. By this means the germs of dis ease are destroyed artd the jneni’iraBes 'cleansed before any o? the [>• >isononx bacilli are absorbed into the blood. I * tore throat, -quinsy or diphtheria, the Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used as a gargle, and" the Golden Medical Discovery taken freely. In women where weakness of special or gans ia common and almost Certain to'be developed, attended by backache, be irl* g- down sensations and other local symptoms, the tue’of Dr.Pferce’s Favorite Prescription in conjunction with that of the Discovery, sjieedily restores the healthy functions and assists in building up and invigorating the system. — . -*»- ■> . Tu any case where the bowels have been costive and are not regulated and peted upon sufficiently by the mild laxative properties |>ossesscd by the Golden Medi cal Discovery, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pur gative Pellets (little liver pills), taken in small doses of onty one or two each day, will aid materially in establishing healthy, action, and in expelling the d s<’*se-pro- ducintf germs'-from the Wood" »mhsystem. At the risk of repetition and by way of recapitulation. - we may truthfully say that Goldert Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a com mon blotch, pimple, or eruption. Eryaip eirrs salt-rheum, fever sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all diseases caused .by disease germs in the blood, are con- qliefed by this! powerful, purifying, and invigorating medicine. Great eating ul cers rapidly heal under its benign influ* once’. Especially lias it manifested its - potency iu curing tetter, rose rash, boils, carbuncles, s ire eyes, scrofulous sores and sweilittgs. wbitc swettings, gnttr# or thick neck and enlarged glands.' ‘'The blood is the life.” Thoroughly cleanse this fountain Of health by usiog Golden Medical Discovery, and yood di- gestnaqaTsfr akin, buoyant snlnts, vital siremith anslaoundnew of constitution are ts’ablish^d. _ • Consninption, whi^Iefie scrofulous dis ease of tbe lungs induced by the deadly disease germ bactllut, is promptly and pos itively arrested and cured by this sover eign remedy, if taken before the kst stages of the diseaseare reached. From its won derful power over this terriblylfatal dis ease, when that offering this now-world- famed remedy to the public, Dr. Pi'ioob thought favorably *>f calling it his “eoa- sumption cure,” but abandoned that nasne as too restrictive for a medicine that from its wonderful combination of germ-de stroying, as well as tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-cle»nsing, aoti-bilioaa, diuretic, pectoral, and nutritive proper ties, is Uneqaalleo. not only as a remedy for consumption of the lung*, but for sll chronic diseases of the liver, blood, kid neys and lungs. (f you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad tests in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebod- *®i*» irregular appetite, and longue coaled, you are aufferinf from indigeation, dyspepsia, and torpid liver or ‘’bilious- n ®**- In many cases only part of them symptoms are experienced ' As a remedv for all such cases Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- isal Discovery has no equal as it effects perfect and radical cures. For weak langs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive nigh t-eweate, —ami -kindred affections, it is a sovereign rem edy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe ooaghs and consumption, it haa astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physi cians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age.
