To KEEP AWAY MoTHs.-Moths

To KEEP AWAY MoTHs.-Moths
are very apt to eat wooden and fur
garments early in the summer. To
keep them from the garments, take
them late in the spring, when not
worn, and put them in a chest, with
considerable camphor gum. Cedar
chips or tobacco leaves, are also good
for this purpose. When moths get
into garments, the best thing to des-
troy them is to hang the garments in
a closet, and make a strong smoke of
tobacco leaves under them. In order
to do this, have pan of live Goals in
the closet, and sprinkle on the tobac-
co leaves.

LIVING IN THE CARs.-A new plan OF
accommodating laborers on railrod i'm

and Mississippi railroad. The entire
working force on this road is 100 persons,
who live in cars fitted up for the purpose
of boarding the men, and are pushed
along as the rails are laid-thus securing
the advantage of having the men always
near their work. The locomotive board
ing house or village comprises fifteen
large covered cars with all the necessary
convenences for cooking, eating and
sleeping. They carry the cows along
they Craze alongside, and are put in their
stalls when the locomotive village changes

An eastern paper tells the following
anecdote as occurring at Post Office
in Westfield:
A letter was put into the box, the
appearance of which denoted that
the writer was unaccuStomed to the
Use of stamps, and had failed to make
one stick at ALL He had tried and
vainly tried, but the inveterate por-
trait of Benjamin Franklin would
curl up. AT last, in deep despair, he
pinned it to the envelope, and wrote
just under it--"Paid, if the id
thing sticks"

The common fuency of speech, in
many men and most of women, is
owing to a scarcity of matter and a
scarcity of words; whoever is master
of language and has mind full of
ideas, will be apt to hesitate upon the
choice of both, whereas common
speakers have only one set of ideas
and set of words to clothe them in;
and these always ready at the mouth;
so people can come faster out of
church when it is almost empty than
when there is a crowd at the door,

law will allow him. Neither the tariff Of
1916 nor the Mexican war have yet ruined
the country, the predictions Of sundry po-

standing. With a surplus to the large
amount on hand, the revenues are increas-
