PROTECTION AGAINST MoTHs-We
have every spring many modes offered
of protecting furs and woolens against
the destructive attacks Of the moth
during warm weather. We have seen
various preparations sold for this pur-
pose, with long accounts appended of
their being perfect remedies. Red cedar
chests and closets are recommended,
and many people cumber their houses
with them at considerable expense, only
to find out how previously they have
been disappointed.
The best protection we ever tried has
been to TIE UP in close cotton-bags all
furs aud woolens at all convenient to be
so treated, after giving them thorough
shaking and cleansing, and leaving them
there until they are again wanted
These bags can be hun" anywhere out
Of the way. If there are no moths in
the articles when tied up there certainly
can none get in afterward, if the bags
are sound. All can see that. But when
the clothes or articles are too numerous
to make this convenient or desirable,
hang up in the wardrobe, after a good
shaking, and place little bags Of cam
phor all over the wardrobe, laying a few
in the bottom. Then, about every three
weeks take out the clothes and shake
them up we'll No moth will ever dis
turb them r-

How to Paper q Room.

Old paper may be removed by wet
ting thoroughly with water, and when
soaked it will easily strip off. If lime
wash has been used on wall on which
it is desired to paper, the paper may be
made to stick by washing the wall with
vinegar, or water which has been made
sour by the admixture of sulphuric acid
(oil of vitriol.) Papering is very easily
done by making bench on which to
paste, of boards placed on two empty
aour-barrels. Common hour-paste is
made. by mixing smoothly in cold water
wheat or rye flour (rye makes the strong
est paste) until a thin, creamy liquid is
made; it should then be boiled, when
it will thcken: if too thick, it may be
thinned by adding boiling water, A
little carbolic acid in the paste will keep
it sweet and prevent mold. The paper
should be cut to proper lengths, sulf-
tient in quantity to finish the room,
before pasting is commenced Enough
spare paper should be left at top or bot
tom, to match the pattern evenly. These
lengths should be laid evenly one over
another, and the bench should he little
longer than the lengths of paper The
paste should he applied with broad
brush similar to the white-wash brushes,
and should be laid on quickly, Or the
paper will soon become tender. If a
piece of tin be fastened to the brush it
can be hooked on to the side of the pail
and prevent much "mussing" with the
paste. The cheap sorts of wall paper
should be avoided, if possible. They
contain generally twenty-five to forty
per cent of clay, and a very common
material for the pulp is cow-dung; only
very smaHproportion consists of fiber
of rope, mating, or other coarse mater
ial of any strength, and in putting it on
a wall it will often fall to pieces in the
hands. Two persons are required to
lay on paper with rapidity, one to paste
and one to apply the paper, When the
paper is pasted it should be handed to
the person on. the ladder, who holds it
about foot from the top end, and lays
it evenly against the wall at the top,
allowing the upper end to hang over on
the backs of the hands. BY looking
down the wall it may be seen when it
matches the previously-laid length, and
should then be brought gently to the
wall, the backs of the hands then press
ed against thetwall and passed upwards
towards the ceiling, spreading them out
towards the corners of the length of
paper. The scissors are then run along
at the junction Of the wall and ceiling,
making mark which can be easily seen
when the top of the paper is removed
for little distance, and it is cut off even
and replaced. Then a soft cloth is
gently passed downwards and the paper
pressed against the wall to the bottom,
where it is cut off as at the top After
a few lengths are laid. the operation
will become easy, and if room where
the work is not very particular is COM
menced with the best rooms may be
attacked next.

NooD AsHEs-Ashes from the wood
of the hickory, sugar maple, elm, etc,
contain about so per cent of potash
compounds, consisting chiefly of COM
binations with carbonic acid and silica,
while the ashes of pine wood will rarely
yield more than 90 per cent. Ashes
saved from clearings often contain earth,
mixed with them in gathering the re-
mains from fires. When wood is used
for burning lime, the ashes are often
put into the market largely mixed with
that substance. Sifted coal ashes are
sometimes used to adulteratc wood
ashes, and the fraud can hardly be
detected by the eye.
Leached ashes always retain por-
tion of potash, usually in combination
with silica or phosphoric acid These
compounds are slowly soluble in water,
and, therefore, are not removed in
teaching, but they are valuable, cspe-
cially to grain crops and grasses
Ashes, whether leached or unleached,
should never be suffered to goto waste
Even coal ashes may be used to good
advantage on stiff clay soils. Their
effect, however, is more mechanical than
chemical.
