known In the town and neighborhood as
an active lad, and had been in place in

ceived some suspicious, and ascertained
her to be a female. On being asked
what reason she had for wearing mems
clothes, she said she had observed that
men got their living easier than women;
but she refused to give any information
as to her birth and parentage. She was
removed to the female wards, but her
rcpugnance to appear in woman's attire
among her fellow prisoners was so
great, that she committed : icide by
hanging herself to an iron bar with q

To CIR RID OF MoTHs.-We know of
no infallible method. 1t is said that if
certain offensive substances are placed
where they are wont to lay their eggs,
during the months of May and June,
they will be repealed. Adrop of the oil
Of NORWOOD, sprinkled IN an old cloth
and then laid in a chest of drawers, will
drive off almost all insects. Camphor
gum, scattered along and under the ed
ges Of carpets, in the ~crevices of furni-
ture, and among the folds of clothing, is
rather disgusting to moths. Where
they have already burrowed in carpets,
sprinkle a little water owe the infested
spots, then lay On a sheet of brown pa
per and apply a hot iron vigorously
Vinegar would, perhaps, be even more
efficacious than water, but bothof these
applications may injure the color of the
carpet. The steam gathered will be too
much for the moths.
\ chamber may be cleaned of vermin
(and probably of moths) in this way /:
First remove all furniture, bedding and
clothing not infested, put a little sui
phur in an old kettle and set fire to it,
and set it in the chamber. Close every
door and window and keep them shut
until the smoke has disappeared. Then
ventillate the room, and the vermin will
have been repealed. The .odors of the
sulphur will penetrate every crevice OF
the woodwork and furniture, and every
fold and seam of clothing, and be a great
oflense to vermin of all sorts. 1t must
be remembered, however, that the sui
phurous acid formed when sulphur is
burned in the air has considerable
bleaching power, and will often destroy
the colors of clothing, especiallyif they
happen to be damp. We are not certain
that the colors on furniture may not
sometimes be injured. Bonnets and
hats arc bleached white by m~oistening
them, and then surrounding them with
the fumes of burning sulphur.
