Tt has always lw>©n easy for hr.usowivoi
who are tmuLlod with ruts to poison
them, lmt the problem has been lo induce
thorn to die upon the Held of honor, so to
speak—to wit, the kitchen floor. They
have usually preferred to retire to their
Inaccessible retreats in tho wall ns soon
n.s they have felt tho symptoms of arsen
ical poisoning, and tho low state of Bani-
tory science prevailing In their com
munities is such that poisoned rats are
never projM'rly buried or incinerated by
their associates. The problem lias been
how to kill tho rats without bringing un
pleasant odors into the house.
"Mrs. Benedict has solved the difficulty
and is entitled to the honor wo give h> ail
inventor and benefactor. Hho was en-
jfliged, it appeal's, in tho domestic manii-
.acturo of plaster casts of various kinds.
Complaint having been made of tho
fragility of these wares, Mrs. Benedict
l>ognn a course of experiments with the
hope of giving greater durability to her j
easts. One of her devices was to mix j
whonten flour with her pulverized plaster
of Paris, so that the gluten of tho flour
might make tho past less brittle. Ono
evening she had visitors, who rang tho
door-bell just ns she was sifting tho mix
ed plaster and flour for tho third time by
way of mixing them intimately, as the
chemists would Hay. She had already
set n dish of water at hand, intending to
make a cast at onoe, and when the door
bell rang she hastily removed her apron
and went to welcome her guests, leaving
her materials upon the kitchen floor.
Tho guests stayed until Into lied time,
and when they bid her adieu Mrs. Bene
dict went to bed without returning to tho
kitchen.
What happened in the night was this.
A rat, sniffing the odor of flour, made up
tho legs of the table to the top, whore ho
was speedily joined by other foragers—
his bretheren. The dish of flour and
plaster was easily reached, and the ruts
nto 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 tho savory dish of flour and piaster
to slake Iuh thirst with water. Every
body who has had to do with plaster of
Pans will guess at once what happened.
The water drank first wetted the plaster
in tho rats* stomachs, and then, in tech
nical phrase, “set" it ; that is to say, the
plaster thus made into paste instantly
grow hard in each rats’ stomach, making
a cast of its convolutions. Tho event
proved that, with such a cast in existence,
it is impossible for a rat to retreat even
across n kitchen.
The next morning thirteen of them lay
dead in a circle around tho water dish.
Airs. Benedict, like a wise woman, kept,
her secret and mado proflt of it. Blio
undertook, for a consideration, to clear
the premises of her neighbors of tho
pests, and succeeded. It was not long
beforo the town was as freo of this sort
of vermin as if the pied piper of Hnniclin
had traveled that way. Then Mrs. Bene
dict advertised for agents to work up the
business throughout the country, selling
ench tho secret for a fair price.—New

More Case Than Cure.
A Hartford doctor, now deceased, was
Wont to boast of liis skill in curing
cancers, and ho invariably alluded to a
most difficult case he treated in another
town. “Moat remarkable case,” aud
the doctor would close his oyes in n
seemingly deep reverie os he uttered tho
words, and then he would repeat them
two or three times in gradually recoding
tones of voice, liko the falling cadence of
a dying echo—“most remarkable case;
most remarkable case. ” The old doctor’s
manner was such ns to leave tho impres
sion that the cure was quite as remark
able as tho ease.
O11 one occasion a gentleman who had
a cancer on his face, had pretty much
made up his mind to visit New York for
treatment, when ho happened in to this
Hartford physician’s office, and was so
impressed with tho “remarkable case”
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 on professional bush
ness, but his wife answered tho bell, and
the cancer patient got into conversation
with the lady, and among other tilings,
innocently asked how that gentleman out
in the country was getting along.
“What gentleman do you refer to?”
queried the doctor’s wife.
“Why, that desperate case—that ‘re
markable case ’ which your husband al
ludes to so frequently,”
“Oh, said the wife, a little solemnly,
“he’s dead. He died during the opera
tion.”
The man loft word that ho would call
again, and then took the next train to
Now York. Here is a parallel case: A
doctor had discovered an infallible
remedy, against the cancer. He lately
undertook a splendid case, treated it
splendidly, and buried it ditto. While
lecturing to liis anatomical class, he said:
“Gentlemen, I am going to demonstrate
to you, by the examination of the proper
organs, that my patient died cured. s —.
Hartford, 1'imca.
The champion rat story of the era is
told by the San Francisco Examiner.
It says: “A remarkable occurrence
lately took place on our northern
coast. A fore-and-aft schooner, while
a in a safe harbor, as was supposed,
aving no crew on board on account
of the aafety of the position, was board
ed by rata in suoh numbers that they
ate away all her standing rigging, in
cluding head-stays, and also the jibB
foresail, and mainsail. All were de
stroyed beyond tho possibility of re
pair',*’
Prof. Itnxle; on D«f*.
Prof. Huxley pointed ont by tho use
of a diagram, in which force was given
to the illustration by the skeleton of the
animal being raised on its hind legs,
that in internal construction the only
difference between man and the dog was
ono of sise and propoition. There was
not a hollo in the one which did not ex
ist in the other—not a single constitu
ent in the one that wns not to tie hturtd
in the othor. In the enka of the dog
there was dot that which, on stipcrAcin
examination, answered to the collar-bone
fit tho man ; but close dissection would
disclose, in the case of the lower animal,
a little bone Varying in length from a
third to half an inch, which wns indu
bitably a rudimentary oollnr-bono. It
appeared to be of no functional import
ance, but there it was.
Considering tho psychological nature
of tlso dog, the lecturer remarked that
lie might be met at tho outset with tho
objection : 11 1 don’t believe tho dog has
a mind.” Well, the only reason he had
for BSHiimhig the dog had a mind was
the same reason he liad for assuming
tliut all present had minds, Thoftl Was
no more evidence of the fnct in one than
in tho othor, Rnn a pin into a mnn and
there was a start aud n cry, Uv which
they came to the conclusion that puin
had resulted. Bun a pin into n dog,
and thero was a howl and an attempt to
bite. Could they say that the deg was a
mere piece of animal machinery? It
was finite tmo that certain philosophers
had held views of that kind, but com-
m on-sense people were right. At the
smno time he was disposed to think that
in dogs the feeling of pain Wns Infinitely
duller than in human beings. As to tho
otliet senses belonging to dogs, he was
inclined to doubt if dogs could see with
anything liko tho distinctness of man.
Their hearing was indisputably very
acute ; lint it wns a remark able fact that
that sense was regulated on a totally dif
ferent scale in dogs us compared with
human beings. Did they over hear of n
dog taking a pleasure in music? On
the contrary, it seemed to cause him
■ncuto pain, accompanied by a horrible
sort of fascination, which fastened him
to tho spot at which ho was subjected to
tho torture.
The souse of smell in a dog was some
thing marvelous, not only from its deli
cacy, but for tho fact that its discrimina
tion of what was agreeable and the Re
verse was exactly the opposite of ours.
They never heard of a (log being infatu
ated with lavender water or patchouli;
I10 rather reveled in the smells which to
men were a source of horror.nnd disgust.
Ho had owned a dog which lm frequently
left among tho thousands frequenting
Regent's Park to secrete himself behind
a treo. Ho soon as tho animal found that
ho hod lost liis master, he laid his nose
to tho ground, and in that manner very
soon tracked him to his hiding-place.
That showed the dog had the power of
distinguishing tho particular modifica
tion of tho leather of tho boots caused
by tho wearing of his master, in contra
distinction to tho modifications produced
by hundreds of thousands of other peo
ple present. As to tho ability of dogs
to And their way from place to place, ho
believed there was an unconscious regis
tration in their minds of tho visual pict
ures presented to it in the various tracks
through which they passed, and that tho
memory worked backward until tho dog
reached his destination. No ono could
doubt tho moral disposition of dogs,
Home wero trustworthy, others more or
less thieves ; some were amiable, others
vicious, aud so on. Neither was there
any.doubt that it dog had ideas of equal
ity ’and inequality. They could easily
settle that by offering a dog a large anil
small piece of meat on the same dish,
aud bv observing which ho took first.
Indeed, there was no fundamental fac
ulty connected with the reasoning pow
ers that might not bo demonstrated to
exist in dogs.
Preparing the lironn l ror a Lawn.
J ho success of n lawn depends upon a
vast deal of work that is quite out
oi sight. We expect more o;'
the soil dovotod to the lawn
l han we do of any othor imrt
of the grounds, for we nro lontinually
cropping it, and it can only give a con
stant succession of g.nss when tho roots
liavo a deep soil and sufficient nourish
ment. As it is iliwimlilo lo have the
grass well established lie ore hot
weather comes, tho sect! must, b:
sown early, and to this end tho soil
must lie prepared as early as tho
season will allow. Only small areas,
such as fruit yards, croquot. and
tennis grounds, should bo per'cot-
I.V level. A slightly undulating
surface is more pleasing to tho eyo than
a dead level, and it may be made to give
tho impression of a greater extent if tho
surface is laid out in gentle swells, and
will give a betterelloot if s.ightlv higher
ns it approaches tho house. Of coTirso
there must be nothing liko abrupt hills
and hollows,and if any suoh occur where
the lawn is to be. l hey m st ho either
cut down or tilled in. Jf the lawn is
such that it would roquiro drainin' 1 ’
to lit it for garden crops, then it wifi
need draining for a lawn. Indeed, all
I lit very light sandy soils will bo im
proved by draining with tiles. The
depth aud distauou apart o the dra ns
should be such as are found best in the
holds of tho vicinity. The next ro-
qms le is a deeply worked soil. In En-
gland Iho soil is thoroughly trenelrod
two spades deep, but wo unn’hardlv ex
pect ouv people, who avoid tho use of
the spado wherever possible, to tren h
the ground for a lawn. The most we
can hope for is the deep st practicable
mowing, with the uso of the subsoil plow.
If the soil is poor, a generous coating of
manure should bo tinned undor, Tjttt
if in lair condition, top-dressings may
bo depended upon for fertilizing. After
this preliminary work, tho ground
should remain as 1 mg as possible be
fore sowing, iu order that it may proper
ly settle. If in any place the ground
settles unevenly, then fresh soil must be
affiled, whore needed, to brino - tho low
spots up to the proper level. Whether
the law n is to 1 e laid down with seed, or
as is sometimes pro erable, if the area
is small, with turf, the preliminary
preparation must be equally thorough,
if a fine and permanent turf is desired.

II* llatafri
The scientific .world has been greatly
startled and agitated of late by the discov
ery with tlie inlcfoscoph of the most dreed
fill Snemjr of mankind In the form ol
myriads of little death-dealing parasites.
The air wo breathe and live in is charged
witli these deadly little pomths in propor
tion ns it is infected from various noxious
sources. Haring by recent experiments
and rissenroh been shown to be the most
fruitful cause of disease known, slid the
welfare and health of every individual de
pending so largely on the freedom from
iheir destructive ravages, it is but natural
itiat Ilia reports of recent investigators In
tliis field of scientific inquiry should be
widely read, slid that livery phase of these
astounding discoveries Should be subject to
universal discussion. Ai first received
with some Suspicion they have al length
been thoroughly proven, and are now re
ceiving the unqualified endorsements of
the leading scientific men throughout the
world. But little else is talked of in the
cliOois and clubs of science, and the medi
cal and scientific journals are crowded With
the testimony that is being added corrob
orative of tile vaitie of the marvelous dis
covery which is pronounced the greatest
advance iu medical science of modern
limes.
To L. Pastsds. the eminent French sci
entist. wlm by liis l»nrm d Investigations
baS wived to Francs so many millions of
dollars, is probably due the honor of first
pointing out 1 lie terrible power of these
.ernis. In recognition of his great service
(tie government liss recently voted him
r«ni thb plibllo treasury $lO,00O.60, With
which to continue bis experiments, lie
lias described several varieties of these
parasites, some comparatively harmless,
iliers extremely ( dsnaeroue» Ope form
lie proved oy a series of vaccinations and
■ther conclusive experiments was the
atise ol death of many thousands of ani
mals and herds of cattle; another the ac
tive agent in the death of fowls by ehol-
ra. Acting iqioii the knowledge lie had
ained of the nature of these germs he
inflated out a means of relief that speed
dy prevented a spread of the diseases and
tided their devastation.
TvniiAi.I,, with the aid of other eminent
English investigators, made a number of
"xamlniHlotis of the floating particles in
the atmosphere, and found numbers of
living spores capable of producing disease.
In dry mid healthy localities but few
germs were found, and these of tlth harm
less Variolies, while in low damp places,
crowded houses, and unhealthy cities, the
jioiHonousgerms were extremely numerous
i very where.
Da. Utmoi.fii Koch, of Wallstoitt, fler-
many, a man whoso work in connection
with the organisms of contagious diseases
lias made him a recognized authority upon
(tie subject, by experimenting after the
methods of Vii.i.KMtn, has dilnnverad and
published an account of one of the most
dangerous varieties, to which it is proven
more deaths are due than to any disease
incident lo tho human race.
He describes it us u simple cellular or-
t’aiiism belonging to the same order as the
bacteria. When dried tho germs may,
without losing nay Vitality, endure great
extremes of temperature. Being os fine
and as light us dust, invisible to the naked
eve, they may be blown any distance by
the wind or carried on the clothing or
body. Liko seeds, they may lie for months
or years undisturbed upon the furniture,
floor, carpels, curtains, walls, or in the bed
ding, and only requiring a proper degree of
warmth, moisture nnd food to waken into
life, develop, and grow. They thrive and
live in tho blood, lymph, muons and secre
tions of the human body. When the sys
tem is unhenlthy or weak they attack the
cells that make up tho animal frame. Any
albuminous fluid will furnish them with
food for growth, and a single drop is suf-
ficient to eontuin hundreds. Examined
with microscopes of great power, which en
large them so that they can be seen and
studied, they have the appearance of min
ute rod like bodies, having, when active,
some power ol motion. They bend in the
middle like a how uml straighten with a
jerk thutsends them a few times their own
length. At the temperatuio of the human
body they are the most active.
Their power of Increase or reproduction
is remarkably great. One germ in a few
weeks’ time, under favorable conditions,
will give rise to millions. The process is
by simple growth and division. Ooid de
stroys or prevents their growth, and this is
why refrigeration prevents decay of meats
and other animal foods. Exposed to
warmth these small organisms attack and
cat up the albuminous tissues leaving a
foul mass. The odors so common to this
process are given off’ by these minute
organisms, and is about the only indica
tion of their presence. This is the warn
ing of nature aiui it is un instinct to nvoid
all such smelts. The foul breath, Dad odors
of old sores, etc., leads man to avoid these
germs m a great measure. The danger of
iheir presence in tho body can he imagined
when their rapid increase is considered A
few germs may be readily absorbed into
the system by breathing air containing
them. They are thus drawn into the in
terior of the body through the long and
respiratory passages of the throat,
clust and nose, winch are lined with soft
membrane and covered with sticky mucus.
In this fluid they find ready lodgment
and favorable conditions for development
increase and growth. The “cold” or ca
tarrh, oziL-na or chronic catarrh, hay fever
Me., are common manifestations of the
effects of one of the least harmful of these
germs or microtymct. In the discharges
from the respiratory passages at such times
thousands of tiie living aniinalculu; are
found. The fever, debility, pains “in the
bones, loss of appetite, etc., are indica
tions of their depressing effects upon the
vital organs.
It is from germs of slower development,
however, that the greatest danger follows.
To the one most fully described by Koch is
due more deatiis than to any othor known
cause. According to the researches of Cut
ter, Flint, and Dejerine over eight million
people die every year from this causealone.
the annual deaths in France, England
Germany, and Russia from their destruc
tion was one and a half millions. In the
United States and Canada over three
hundred thousand persons perished in the
last year from the bacillus alone. The mo-t
common disease resulting from it is con
sumption of the lungs, but other organs of
the body are liable to be affected as they
develop slowly but surely in any orgnn
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-
irnajeui® or parasites from the system
And this fact furnishes an important in
dication for the successful treatment of all
the long list of maladies caused bv these
parasites as will be hereinafter shown.
The studies of Lt Vi isca, an eminent
Italian, and Wood, Formau and others, are
interesting, as showing the large variety of
chronic diseases as heretofore classified
that result from these germs. Among the
most common were “liver complaint"
biliousness or torpid liver, dyspepsia or
indigestion, lung affections, bronchitis
kidney diseases, chronic diarrhcoa, spinai
complaint, fever-sores, white swellings
bip joint disease, rheumatism, niaiarial
diseases, such as fever and ague or inter
mittent lever, general and nervous debil
ities. female weaknesses, chronic catarrh
of the head, ot oMbna, many [forms of
unhealthy dischargee from internal organs,
and all the various scrofulous affections of
he skin," glands, bones,_ joints, etc , m-
dudiug oensumpiion, which is but scrofu
lous ufsease of toe i uiigi.
In this large catalogue ef appifiintly
widely differing diseases, but really all de
pending v,p«t» a common cause, and tP.ere-
forc naturally to 6e fitiCMOsfwlljr treated on
the same general principles, examination
of the blood and secretions revealed large
numbers of these parasites, and curiously
enough the number liore a direct relation
to the severity of the disease, a compara
tively smell number being present in mild
case* end • Wry targe proportion in bad
eases. Under the uve of i tie vpeetffo treat
ment which they give, and which Is sub
itantially the same as that described and
recommended later in this review, the
number wss seen to steadily diminish from
■lay to day Until, with the restoration o.
health ind bodily strength, they could not
be fount! at dll.
The greatest variety of symptoms were
found to accompany their presence, due to
peculiarities of the constitution, the purl
of the body most seriously affected, aud
the efforts of the different organs to rid the
system of these germs. Among the most
common were frequent headaches, neu
ralgib pniti.s, rtuttstix, constipation, poor or
variable appetites, alaffhcBi. bill breath,
hectic fever, cough, night sweats, cold ex
tremities, dyspepsia, catarrh, sore throat,
•ore eyes, etc., while where the skin was
affected, salt-rheum, boils, carbuncles,
scurf skin, efy.lipelrs, St. Anthony's fire,
•nd other symptoms were common, and
•11 gradually blit with certainty were
cured by the same mound. The hectic
fever so often, met with in consumption,
with the hacking at tearing cough, night-
sweats, diarrhcsi, and other symptoms due
to the efforts of nature to throw off and
expel these germs were also readily con
trolled and cured in the same way ius were
tiie oiu siife's, uhsce-ees snd ulcers in the
luiiga. liver nnd other important organs.
The corrosive acids and mineral poisons
•re found to possess tiie power of killing
these germs, but tiie dangerous nature of
■ucti poweftltl agents prevents their inter
nal use. For the purpose of expelling the
germs when once within tiie system it it
necessary to resort to vegetable remedies in
order to cleanse tiie blood of the germs
Without injury to tiie patient.
Ail American physician of large expe
rience in the treatment of ell forms of
chronic diseases, now conclusively Shown
to be caused by parasitic life, for many
years devoted much time to tiie investiga
lion of the cau»es«f these affections, anil
in the treatment of many thousands of
cases developed and thoroughly tested a
combination of vegetable agents which he
meet with marvelous success in their cure
In cases of wasting disease, as consump
tion, or scrofula of lira lungs, and other
organs, and iu all cases attended With great
weakness, it was found to exert the most
wonderful tonic and restorative influences,
besides itH nutritive properties far surpass
those of cod liver nil or any of tiie reme

Sufferers from “liver complaint," giving
rise to “bad blood,” consumption,scrofula,

sults of blood-poisoning from tho ravages
of the deadly parasites or disease germs so
briefly referred to, find iu tills remedy
prompt relief and a permanent cure. The
great and increasing demand for this God-
given and peerless remedy for so many ap
parently different, but really kindred, ail
ments, led to its preparation in pure and
convenient form under liio name of Dr.

gans of tiie system, all poisonous germs
aro rendered inactive und gradually ex
pelled from tiie system wilh other impuri
ties. lu some cases, where there arc un
healthy discharges, as from the nostrils in
cases of either acute or chronic catarrh,the
use of Dr. Sage's Caturrh Remedy, a mild
und healing antiseptic lotion, should be
associated witli tiie use of the Discovery.
It isalsoadvisab'e to use this lotion ill other
loeul manifestations of disease of mucous
surfaces. By this means the germs of dis
case arc destroyed and the membranes
cleansed before any of tiie poisonous bacilli
arc absorbed int > the blood. I ■ .-on-throat

gms is common and almost certain to be
developed, attended by backache, bearing-
down sensations and other local symptoms
tiie u?e‘of Dr.Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
in conjunction with that of the Discovery
sjieedily restores the healthy functions and
assists in building up and invigorating the
system.
In any caso where the bowels have been
costive and are not regulated and acted
upon sufficiently by the mild laxative
properties possessed by the Golden Medi
cal Discovery, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets (little liver pills), taken in
small doses of only one or two each day
will aid materially in establishing healthy
action, and in expelling the d sease-pro-
ducing germs from the blood and system.
At the risk of repetition and by way of
recapitulation, we may truthfully say
that Golden Medical Discovery cures all
humors, from the worst ccrofultv to a com
mon blotch, pimple, or eruption. Erysip

rough skin, in short, all diseases caused
by disease germs in the blood, are con
quered by this powerful, purifying, and
invigorating medicine. Great eating ul

Consumption, which is scrofulous dis
ease of the lungs induced by the deadly
disease germ bacillus, is promptly and pos

eign remedy, if taken before the last stages
of the disease are reached. From its won
derful power over this terribly fatal dis
ease. when first offering this now world-
famed remedy to the public, Dr. Pierce
thought favorab’y wf calling it his "con
sumption cure,” but abandoned that name
as too restrictive for a medicine that from
its wonderful combination of germ-de
