A CITY RATCATCHER. A Professional Who Frees Houses of Rodents. His Various Methods of Catching the Nimble Little Pesta. A New York Sun reporter recently visits cd Mr. Jennings’s place in Centre street. It is a brick building, with iron liars and wire netting before doors and windows. i he interior is filled with tiers of cages, containing small animals and birds of many kinds that invariably welcome strangers with noisy unanimity—monkeys chattering, parrots screeching, dogs bark- ing and yelping, roosters crowing, and canaries whistling. Mr. Jennings laid particular stress upot the declaration that he was a practical rat¬ catcher. He denied that he was in the habit of charming the rats by the power of his steel-gray eyes. He said it was ut- terly untrue that he ever enticed rats out of their holes by peculiar calls or whistles, and then dubbed them to death, lie doubted the story of the Pied Piper, and was willing to wager that he could kill tnore rats by his practical methods in a day than Pied Piper could have whistled to death in a week. “There are,” said Mr. Jennings, “sev- enty places—hotels and private rcsiden- ces—in this city that I keep clear of rats, I have several men, thirty ratters.of all breeds, and twelve white ferrets to help me. None of the young men who help me are afraid to handle a rat, no matter how fierce and big he may be. As for me, you can see for yourself just how much I fear them.” Whereupon Mr. Jennings opened the lid of a tin liued box, ran his hand through the animated, slate-colored mass and scooped up and turned over a score of lively big fellows, He took one of them and placed it under his shirt next to his bosom. He returned it to the box after it had nestled there a minute or two, and continued talking. “Ratcatching is done mostly at night. The ferrets run the rats out of their holes, and the terriers catch and kill them. They are sometimes cornered by the fer¬ rets, which then make short work of them. The ferrets are trained to return to me, and will come at call, like a dog. We use many steel traps, and in a place ■where the rats are very numerous, myself and my men catch them with tongs or with our hands. We sometimes drive them out of their holes with an obnoxious smoke into valve traps, through which they drop into a bag. “All my best ratters arc imported. I have six English bull terriers that could not be bought for less than $800. Here,’ leading out two cream-colored dogs from a kennel on one side of the roome, “are two of the handsomest animals ever brought to this country. Did you ever see finer eyes, more beautiful lintbs, and such a color? They are English terriers that it would take a pile of money to buy. “What do I get for my work? Well, it depends upon the place I keep free of rats and mice. I charge from $100 to $200 a year for regular customers, Among the hotels that employ me are the Windsor, Murry Hill, Brevoort, West- minster, Victoria, Brunswick, Contincn- tal. Metropolitan, St. James, Gilsey -House, and the Albemarle. “I cannot tell you how many times I have feit the teeth of dogs and rats,” 3fr. ’Jennings continued, “but I can tell you that I have never once had a thought of hydrophobia after being bitten. I be- ilieve the bite of a rat is in no way dan¬ gerous to those accustomed to handling .rats. I have picked tip as many as sixty •rats an hour at the car stables without re¬ ceiving a scratch. How many rats have I caught with my own hands? Millions I .should say. ”_ The Russian Embassy nt Washington. The Russian government allows more money for entertainments alone than wo jpay our minister to England. The enter¬ tainments at the Russian legation have thing always surpassed in magnificence any¬ given by the diplomatic corps, with those of the British minister coming next. The Russian government allows its representatives here $25,000 per an¬ num to be spent in entertainments. Five are given each season at an ex¬ pense of $5,000 each. A feature of these e ntertainments during the term of Baron de Struve was the immense display of rare old wines which were placed at the disposal of the guests. While the . Baron ■was the most liberal-minded of men, vet the first person who was under ,‘h 0 slightest influence of liquor was sure to be reminded of the fact that his room was more desirable than his company. And that was not all. The next day he would be certain to receive a note ad- dressed to him in the handwriting of the first secretary recounting his conduct of the evening before, and stating that, under the circumstances, in the future, the Bavon would esteem it a favor if he would cease calling. Another feature of these entertain- ments was the splendid array of cigars and Russian cigarettes. Queer stories ■are told of the performances of some of the impecunious dudes who filled their overcoat pockets with the choicest cigar¬ ette before leaving the house. Such abuse of the baron’s hospitality was not detected by him,but he had ample means of fully informing himself had he felt so disposed .—Boston Traveller. Where the Mine Was.

The potato has long been used as a food for our domestic animals, and es- peeinlly in years of great crops, when their use as human food furnishes but a partial market. English farmers have used them as food for various animals. They are relished by horses, cattle and sheep in the raw state; but it is not safe to feed them in this way, except in very limited quantity. In the raw state they are not well digested, and produce a lax- ativc condition of the bowels, ami for this reason a few quarts are beneficial to the horse medicinally, and the same for working oxen and cows; but if fed in as large a quantity as one-half bushel j>cr day to mileh cows, the quantity and quality of the milk will be reduced, To the pig they are not nutritious in (he raw condition, and arc not relished except two or three at a time. • But when boiled or steamed, the pig eats them greedily and thrives upon them .—Rural Hew Yorker. - f'attenlntr flog*. A ™ rm pigK p »7 is «n absolute ncces- f° r profitable swine raising,and good tood indispensable if you wish your pigs to enter the spring with a well developed f ramc for la J in e on fat - If J ou provide them with poor shelter and feed them on slops through the winter, you will find it a rather unprofitable undertaking. Give always enough nutritive food to satisfy the natural appetite and feed at regular times. It has been too common a notion that the hogs may be fed anything and w’ill thrive so long as they are stuffed, Growth is the primary object that should influence you in the selection of swine food. Corn will produce fat, but it is not adapted to the best production of bones and muscles. A variety of food is relished by these animals, and they will show their appreciation of a judicious se¬ lection by laying on fat and muscle and increasing their frames proportionately. Not only this, but if furnished the ma¬ terials they will produce a quick action and valuable manure. This is very rich in nitrogen and contains a generous per cent, of phosphate ; it is also nearly as lasting it its effects as cow manure. “Releases” In Transportation of Live Stock. The express companies and the railroad companies have the right to refuse to carry live stock which they may regard as having a “fancy” or fictitious value put upon it. As common carriers they are hound to receive and transport ordi¬ nary chattels, and to exercise due dili¬ gence and care that whatever they take is carefully and properly handled. If they fail in this, they are responsible. The “Release” which they often require shippers of live stock to sign, is a de¬ vice to prevent litigation in case of death or injury to the stock. The “permission” granted the shipper “to transport in their cars and boats, or in those used by them” certain fowls or animals, as though the company had nothing to do with it, is a p urc fiction and of no weight in reliev- ing the company from their responsibility as common carriers. If there is no way offered for shipping the fowls or animals except by signing such a release, the document has still less force. If, how- ever, the company say, ns many do: we will take the responsibility of safe trans- portation for such a price, and for so much less if released from all responsibil- ity, then the release so-called, has a gen- uine basis in good faith .—American Ay- »'» culurist. Poultry Topics. A great many diseases of poultry come from cold and wet. One serious error in poultry keeping is the custom of keeping hens until they become too old to lie profitable, because they were favorites or great layers, but they can never put on tender flesh nor put down eggs. To remove vermin a good remedy has been mentioned, that is of dusting the fowls at night with flowers of sulphur, provide dust baths of road dust or fine day, and paint the perches with kero¬ sene or crude petroleum. Building should be kept white-washed or lined with tarred felt, costing less than one- third of a cent per square foot. Scaly legs is caused by a minute insect eating the legs. A mixture of equal por¬ tions of lard, kerosene ana sulphur is the usual and generally effective remedy. Fowls can be fattened well in a fort- '* ** ie y arp cooped tip where they 1 can °' ,ta ' n g ravp l, an< l are fed on scalded corn meal, given them throe times a day. !

Watering Flout*, Rome people attempt to keep pot plants without giving them any water at all, the result is familiar to every one. Usually, however, the earth in the pot or box is kept soaked and very much in the condition of an ordinary swamp. It is even said that malaria has resulted from living in rooms containing house- pi 80 *®, owing to the damp soil. We have ourselves seen dead evergreens pulled out of boxes full of mud. A gar- journal gives utterance to the foi- lowing tirnoly remark; Watering plants is one of ihe most important things in-’ tho culture of house plants, and very *pe- oUl oar* ahould be dsvoted to it. Pt RlJ t» not to bo until Uaj »#fd ft, It will be evident that they require wet* ting, if on taking the earth from the pot it crumble* to piece* like dust; a sure »ign is to knock on the side of the pot, near the middle, with the finger knuckle. If it gives forth a hollow ring, the plant needs water; if there is a dull sound, there is still moisture enough to sustain the plant. Plants must not be wet more than once or twice a day; on dry, clear days they require more water than on damp, cloudy days. On the other hand, the earth must not be allowed to dry out entirely, for that also very injurious, ... is In wetting them the water must bo poured on in such a way that it will run out again through the hole in the bottom of ... the pot. If the earth „ r ,i, gets too „ dry, a it it is best to place the pot in w ater so that the water will saturate the dirt very ? gradually. They may be watered at any hour of ,, the day, except . when . the ., : sun is shining on the pot or has just left it; for the earth gets hot when the sun shines on it, and then if cold water is poured on it, it will cool off too rapidly. The best time for watering flowers in summer is the evening, and in winter noon is best. Well water should never be used, but al¬ ways use either rain water or brook wa- ter. crllnff Cows for Milk* A correspondent of the London Agri¬ cultural Gazette has had good success in feeding boiled grain in connection with chopped fodder. Turnips and the ruta¬ bagas he does not like, but uses them up to Christmas, or before they become frosted. After Christmas, the writer says, where mangolds are grown they may be used without stint; but it must be borne in mind that they produce a lot of poor milk, therefore the corn should be increased. In relation to the feeding of roots the writer states, as the Tribune has hereto- fore done, that they have little nutri- ment and should only be used in the United States to assist dio-esfion and r: winter. The English method of feeding cooked food is described ns follows; We have our cows entirely under cover or in the yards, for the warmer they are kept the less food they want and the more milk thev will give. We give no hay—barley and oat straw are cut into chaff about an inch long. Then, again, we go little to market, but convert all our second-rate corn into suitable food to mix with the chaff. Wheat or barley is Itoiled they may be mixed or used separately. Put five bushels to about 100 gallons of cold water and boil till the corn will mash if squeezed in the fingers, then spread chaff enough . for . a day’s , f al- , lowance for your cows, and put in the boiled corn while hot and mix. We find five bushels sufficient each day for about forty cows when roots are plentiful; or, if oats are used, they should be crushed. We find these valuable for milk. Of all green foods I like Atbhage, and we map- age so as to keep a supply all through tho winter. In the United States the cooking of food for stock is little practiced, and careful experiments have not shown its economy, except for hogs and in the case of sick animals. But for dairy cows the experiment in England is valuable, and it might be well to experiment with the cooking of ear corn, cither by water in a large caldron, or by the direct action of hot steam in water .—Chicago Trir bune. Honseltolil Hints, Have clean finger-nails at the table; they are never more conspicuous else¬ where. A crumb cloth is indispensable if your table is set over a nice carpet. Eat slowly and rest a fetv minutes af¬ terward—if you can. Don’t make a noise in taking your soup or tea. Flowers always have a right in a din¬ ing-room. Put aside business cares when yon come to the table. This is a good time to cultivate acquaintance with your fam- My- Recipes.

A story is related of a Connecticut in¬ fantry company in the civil war which i» believed to be without a parallel. Tits company, which was recruited in tha town of Greenwich, had no less than twelve pairs of brothers in its ranks. There were, in addition, three instances which father and son stood side by side and three brothers-in-law.
