There are several methods of catch- i
itgthe little animals, the most common
Wing by the use of the ordinary steel
trap and gigging. The traps are set
in the paths made by the rats in their
travels through the marshes, liigging
furnishes the most interesting nnd ex
citing sport. The g'.g is n weapon
ibout three feet long, having five or
tix sharp steel prongs, each S'a feet IS
length and several inches apart. This
weapon is made just long enough for
a man to easily thrust it through the
grassy home of the muskrat. The hunt
er must approach these little houses
igainst the wind, and a windy day is
much the best for successful work.
The animal's sense of smell is acute,
aid on detecting the approach of a hu
man being all the rats scamper from the
upper chamber of the house to the
root. Mechanical devices, the ex
plosion of dynamite, refrigerating ap
paratus nnd other analogous devices
are likely to be too expensive in com
parison with the return they make.

There are many girls who, by the
wav. are exceedingly happy, whose
married life is one long study of the
science of economy, with its various
branches of "ways and means" and
"how to make two ends meet" nnd "the
possiblity of $1 doing the duty of $5."
There is not, however, the study of econ
omy in money matters alone, butthere
are also the economy of labor, the econ
omy of time and the economy of health
to be considered.
When we start housekeeping and be

proaches a muskrat house properly it
ii not unusual for him to catch a rat
on each prong of the gig. But no mat

hunter's only auccessful one. lor thuae

turns to Ms home and prepares both
the fur and the flesh of the animal

ity the skin is removed. An expert
can skin a muskrat in less than half
minute. After the skin is removed
It is stretched over a shingle to dry or

days. The outside of a rat trap

Onion.
A learned doctor says that onions are
really sweeteners of the breath in the
long run. They rectify disorders of
the stomach, carry off the poison accu
mulating in the system, act as a vermi
fuge, nnd, if eaten raw, will often check
a violent influenza. To eat a small
onion every night at bedtime is n good
way to cure sleeplessness, as well as
certain head troubles. It soothes the
nerves without the evil effects of a
drug. The torment of earache Is often
relieved by the application of n roasted"

One of Chicago' music teachers, a
frenchman, went to Cuba as bugler in
an Illinois company. Since his return
he has hud some difficulty in building
up a profitable elnss, and for that rea
son he lias been compelled to accept
a number of unpromising pupils, says
the Inter Ocean.
The patience of the teacher became
exhausted in the case of one pupil, the
daughter of a North side board of trade
man. In a moment of recklessness the
Frenchman summoned all the English
at his command nnd wrote the follow
ing note to the futlier of the girl who
was not making advancement in her
piano studies:
"Dear Sir: It regrets me, indeed, to

my word that, even should she be ex
