shavings, tobacco stems, camphor, pepper,
and other aromatics, have the reputation of
being preservatives, but there is nothing bet
ter than paste.
See that the furs or woolens are well
beaten, and put them away in a box or
chest that has every crack closed by a strip
of stiff paper well pasted on. Furs put up
in perfectly tight paper bags, and pasted
securely, will be preserved from the attacks
of moths, hut the paper must be without
holes, and the pasting must be honestly
done. Where moths are once in fabric, an
exposure to a heat OF $50 degrees will des-
troy them. We ones had some valuable
travelling blankets that became infested;
these we placed in tight box and sprinkled
freely with benzinc, which did for the
moths. Wooden sleigh coverings should be
