American invention haa glvon birth ijnoond of freaks, which have been ..tbalmed at the patent office In order j .oerost of thorn aro devices for entrap- 44 beasts, bugs, fishes and even human What, ia eiainDle. could be funnl tt the notion of using imitation flow-1 I with poisoned honey to attract nox w Insects? The artificial blossoms, jh containing a small quantity of Bug j liquid properly prepared, are to be itened to twigs. Months of destruct- species sip tho deadly nectar and . . x A more elaborate device of a simi . j description is Intended for the pro- tion of apple trees. It is a tin can cov d as to its upper half with luminous ,. int. On tho outside of the lower half n -pie blossoms are represented with the .:ne sort of paint Inside of the recep ' ole is a small quantity of cider. The i Is to be hung on a branch of an ap t i tree at night Insects, attracted by e pictured flowers, light upon the can. i to smell of the cider induoea thorn to iter through holes provided for that , j-poHG. They then drop down into the ter and are drowned. Yet it la not always easy to distin ish between a crank idea and a use ldisoovery. The poisoned counterfeits ' flowers above described are said to ork very wslL Many years ago a man .,,t a patent for a method of killing . :gs on trees by inclosing the whole : jo in a sort of balloon of canvas, into . iiioh an asphyxiating gas was to be luredfor the purpose of suffocating .' a insects. Everybody thought he was lunatic. But now that his patent has ' .a out the morits of the plan have ' lddenly obtained appreciation, audita '.option is alleged to have saved the unge growing Industry in California. . iveral kinds of luminous baits for fish ve been patented. One of these is a H innow of hollow glass coated on the i wide partly with a solution of gold or i !ver, and partly with luminous paint ' to result is a very brilliant object In i o water, calculated, to attract any pre ! .dons creature with fins. Another in i nesting contrivance is for making frog it more seductive. The jerking of the ie equipped with this devioe causes : 3 frog's legs to move as if he were Mvimming. Contrivances for catching insects are ', rte numerous than any others. One of . om is a furnace for slaughtering po i m bugs. To begin with, a deep and .de furrow is to be plowed all around t infested field. Through this trench smooth loir is drawied to make the .-face hard and smooth. The bngs in grating to other grounds are unable scale the trench, and the furnace, .ich is a cylinder of iron filled with I, is drawn along the furrow and .. .troys them. Other odd devioes are . .trtridges Intended to be inserted in the v inths of ant boles ana to do urea. t .us oommunicating stifling vapors to UQ subterranean chambers, also many .ids of lames for attracting and burn ; nn tho moths of various worms In i .ton fields. There is a toy pistol for .' ..ects, which sucks them in when he '...'gger is pulled, An ingenious westerner has invented 1 .rap for catching the hornfly which ' such an enemy to cattle in some parts ' the country. It oonsists most lmpor ltlv of a (treat framo to which brush attached In Buch a manner that when j boasts walk through, eager as they .rays are to scratch themselves, the " . will be scraped from their bodies tho branches. Finally the frame is sed up by means of doors, and the ntured Insects are destroyed. Nearly i virybodybas heard of the gold tape- irm trap, which tne patient swaiiows. idbug traps aro of several varieties, 1 of them being intended to afford at i wstive hiding places for these blood ckers and to be burned or scalded out .terward. Muoh ingenuity has been expended vi rattraps. Some of thorn are so elab- ite that no full witted rodont would i near them. One requires Mr. Eat to ne in throngh a door, which drops t. hind and makes him a prisouor. 8ee- j a bright light above, he ascends a htof littlo steps and trots across a ..itll plank that is so nicely adjusted as . . balance thnt his weight causes it to . t and throw him into a tank of iter. Another contrivance consists of double chamber. One chamber has a - jss end, through which Mr. Rat sees ..o or three imitation rats having a , je timo with a bit of cheese. Wish .. ; to join them, ho runs around the ,x, gots into the other chamber and caught There are a number of devices which . aploy mirrors for the purpose of lur s the rat to his fate. He mounts on of a barrel and sees a toothsome jce of cheese. As he approaches it he holds another rodent in reality his " tn reflection in a piece of looking :-m& coming for the cheese from the ,posito direction. Ho makes a dash to t there first, and a pivoted board ops him into the cask, which is half .11 of water Rats will swim for a ng tims so one humanitarian has vtented a water trap with little shelves omid the edtfo and just above the sur je. On the shelves are placed small lead jihU with fishhooks hanging from em. The captnred rat in trying to ape grasps one of the hooks, gets it itened in his mouth, dislodRes the m of lead and is carried to the bot- n hr the latter. Rnuraw tram are of many different tnds.

She resigned, about June, 1895 as secretary of the State Secular Union, but retained her connection with the society as a commissioned lecturer for the Silverton Secular church, before which she lectured regularly during the first-half of the present year. Mrs Smith left her home, near this city known to many as "Castle Kehrn" on the 28th day of June for a two months' lecture tour in eastern Oregon . About the 8th of August, she was attacked with a fever resulting in a lingering illnes, which, while considered dangerous, was not expected to terrain ate fatally until the very last. She died at John Day, Urant county, on September 18, after having been tenderly attended by her husband and friends and given the best medical aid to be found in that region.

Recent investigations have brought out the fact that there are many cases of severe neuralgia caused by abnormal conditions of the nasal passages. In several instances there have been found enlargements of the bony structure or hard lumps of diseased tissue pressing against certain nerves and causing the most excruciating pain. Removal of these has resulted in complete cure, although there have been returns of the growths after the first operation. Per sons who habitually suffer from pains in the head should have their conditions carefully diagnosed. Long continued suffering not infrequently brings about protracted and incurable mental and nervous disorders. New York Ledger. "Jlra. Tlppe."
