AS the ant season is at hand, house
wifcs and others who arc troubled with
them may probably use the following
trap to advantage: Procure large
sponge, wash it well and press it dry,
which will leave the cells quite open
then sprinkle over some fine white su-
gar.and place it where the ants arc trou-
blesomc. They will soon collect upon
the sponge and take up their abode in
the cells. 1t is only necessary to dip the
sponge in scalding hot water, which will
wash them out dead. Put on more su.
Igar and set the trap for new haul. The
process will soon clear the house of cv'

once sprinkle it lightly with fresh wa
ter, and then put it in vessel containg
soap-suds. This will keep the flowers az
freshly as if just gathered. Then every
morning take tho boquct out Of the suds,
and lay it side-ways-th stock entering
first = into clean water, keep 1t there a
minute or two, then take 1t out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand
with water, replace it in the soap-suds,
and it will bloom as fresh as when first
gathered. The soap-suds need changing
every three or four days. by observing
these rules, a boquet may be kept bright
and beautiful for at least month, and
will last still longer in a passablc state.
