KEEPING FURs IN SUMBTER,-LRdies
are often anxious abont keeping furs
free from moths during the summer
months. Darkness is all that is necess-
ary, The miller" the eggs from
which moths are Matched, only moves
in light the moths themselves work in
darkness. Hang the furs in a very dark
closet, and keep the door shut; keep it
always dark, and you will have no
trouble. But, as closest doors are sotne@
times left open, the better way Is to
enclose the articles loosely in a paper
box, but this In a pillow case, or wrap
around with cloth and hang up In dark
closet. Camphor, spices, or perfumes
are ofnO use. Continual darkness Is
sufficient. And do not take out the furs
in June or July to give them an 'airing'
for even then comsth the enemy and it
may be that in fifteen minutes after OK
posure, It has deposited a hundred eggs,
Ifyou consider an airing Indispensable
give the furs a good switching and put
them quickly back.-CoRatTy Gentte-
man.

The platform Of the Democrats is for
paying the national bonds in green
backs, hut their candidate is for paying
them in gold. The platform says:
Payment Of the public debt Of the
United states as rapidly as practicable,
all money drawn from the people by
taxation, except so much as Is reqisite
for the neCessitfsB Of Ethe Government
economically administered, being ap-
piled to such payment and where the
obligations of the Government DO not
expressly state upon their face, OF
where the law under which they were
issued does not provide that they shall
be paid ia coin, they ought in right and
in Justice be paid in the lawful money
Of the United States" r
On che other hand Horatio Seymour
in a late speech ayss
Among other things which have cause
ed anxiety in. the disurdered btatB OF
our Union is the fact that our Govern
melt bonds are mainly held in one Sec
tlon OF the country. The labor Of the
West puts its pa-minga, ia a laEga de-
gree, into lands which are taE-hurden-
ed. The labor Of the East puts its
earnings Into savings banks, life fuFur-
anCe, or in other forms of uiouerbd ins
