KEEPING FURs.--Ladies are often
anxious about keeping furs free from
moths during tho summer months.
Some one advertiscs To send the roIni-
site information for 81.
Darkness is all that IL necessary. The
"Miller" that deposits tho eggs from
which moths aro hatched, only moves
in light; the moths themselves work
il dorl.noss. Hang the fnrs il Tory
d1Yi; closet, and keep the door shut;
keep il aiways dark, and yoa cau have
no trouble. Tut, % closet daora are
sometimes left open, Tho better way is
to enclose the articles loosely IN paper
box, put this in piilOw-c1fc, ~ wrap
around with cloth, and hang ~ IN
dark closet. Camphor, spices, on per-
fumes, arc Of no use. Continual dark
ness is sufficient. And do not take out
the furs in June and July to give them
an "airing," for even then con,nth the
enemy, and 1t may he that in fifteen
minutes after exposure, hns deposited
an hundred eggs. II you consider nm
airing Indispensable, give the fura a
good switching and put them quickly
back.

An Englishnan had bcen telling some
hard stories about the London thieves,

when Hoosier named Case said that
the Western thieves could beat that all
to pieces.
"If TINT is so, pll not Go any further

Il should not advise any ono to go,n
said Case, quietly "My brother once
lived there, hut no had 20 lrnYe, al
though his business was The best in the

"What business wa3 he IN, pray ?''

"Good gracious ~
"Just TO give youan ideA of how they

"Novei."
"Well, ono day my brother bought
an ALFRED fine black walnut log--four

A Fussfiy kf.csSent,

~ very iuhny mistake was made by
juror yesterday which provoked much
merrimcnt among the judges and attor.
neys of the Circuit and Common Pleas
Courts. 1t occurred in this way Both
Courts had juries empaneled, and
through mistake an old gentleman SER
wing on the jury ofthc Circuit Court
slrayed into tho Common Pleas Court
and took his scat among The rest of the
Jurors The rooms 0fthe Courts are very
much alike, and such n mistake could
! easily bo made. Bu. The fun of 1t was
that the trial was about commencing
when ono Of tho aryus.cycd attorneys
discovered that there wcio thirteen ju-
rois in the box. 4 ecarch was ut once
| instituted for the intciiopcr, and the
old gentleman was pOunc,d upon As tho
bogus juror. lie protested loudly, and
insisted that he had been sitting on the
jury tic day before.
| The Court ventured ,nc remark that
there must be q mistake somewhere, but
the Old gent was determined to maintain
his position and if thirteen jurors had
been selected instead OF twelve, it was
not his fault. The Sheriff was c0mplete-
ly beat, and could not for The life of him
accOuntfo the baler'3 dozen.
In tho meantime theCircuit Court was
unable to proceed cor the want Of the
absent juror. They had searched for him
! IN every direction. Thus it will be seen
t that the wheels of justice were cloggcd
in both Courts-onc having too many
in tho jury bnx, and the other not
enough.
| While th" problem was undergoing a
solution the old GENT took survey oi
the room, and all at once the truth
flashed on his mind that he had got into
the wrong room.
Jumping to his feet he exclaimed
"Well, I'll be cvcrlastingly dashed il
l haint got into the wrong box. Every
thing in the room IS exactly the same,
but you can't palm OIL that ere judge on
mel" The,peal oflaughter that followed
this quaint exclamation was almost
equal to tho opening chorus Of the DO 8
ton Peace Jubilee. His honor for tht
|, time suspended the dignity of the hourt
and enjoyed the joke heartily.
When the missing juror turned up il
the Circuit Court, and the mistake wa!
explained, there was another roar o
laughter, in which the Court took {
hand. .-Ladidlopohs Sentinel,
