that al that is necessary is to procure q
large sponge, wash it well and press it dry,
which will leave the cells quite open; then
sprinkle over it some fine white sugar, and
place it where the ants are troublesome
They will soon collect upon the sponge
and take up their abode in the cells. 1t is
only necessary to dip the sponge in scald-
ing hot water, which will wash them out
dead. Put on more sugar and set the trap
for a new haul.
AMERICAN GIRLS UNDERCLoTHEs.
A foreign correspondent writes: There
was an article In London paper the other
day concerning American extravagance in
dress, which called attention particularly
to the underwear of American girls. Some
countess, who had travelled with several of
our countTywomen on the continent, ex-
pressed great astonishment at the fneness
and costliness of their underclethes. Hers
was thrown entirely in the shade by those
of her republican friends. She doubted If
the cambrics, linen and laces of the
Princess Royal exceeded in value those OF
the girls she saw. She also spoke of their
outside laces and silks, the little apparent
value that was set on them. 1t is true,
then, in general, the American girl is
dainty in the choice of her inner garments.
This kind of clothing, of the most expeR-
sive make, is seen in the shops here en-
broidered in intricate patterns and trimmed
with costly lace, and there is ready sale
for it even at the high prices asked for the
article.
HORTICULTURAL SCHOOL FOR WOMEN.
The Bostonians are greatly interested in
this enterprise. The Traveller says of it:
We are glad to learn that the arrange
mSnt for teaching women to be florists,
gardeners, horticulturists and farmers
generally, are so far completed that a
school will probably be opened this month.
A nice, commodious house and two acres
of land, all well enclosed, have been Sc
cured at Newton Centre, on Beacon street.
a practical cultivator has been engaged to
give the necessary practical teaching
while several competent lecturers have
volunteered to give instructions IN botany,
vegetable physiology, and other subjects Of
interest and importance to the hortlcul'
turist and florist. A sufficient sum o.
money has been secured to start with
though much more will be required tC
make the undertaking permanent thing
and very considerable number-twenty
or more women-have applied for admis
sion to the school already. 1t is not to bt
charity school, but some thirty or more
dollars will be charged per quarter for tut
ton, and there will be four terms a year
Day scholars and boarding pupils will bc
received, and the board will beas low as
can possibly be afforded. 1t is proposed
as we understand, to begin with raising
flowers, small fruits and vegetables for the
Boston market. This is q movement o
the right kind, and IN the right direction
It is taking hold of the woman's right
question in manner that is hoped to prove
practical.
