REMEDY FOR SCALDs AND BURNS
A correspondent writes to inform nj
that the roadiest and most useful
remedy for scalds and burns is an en-
brocation of lime water and linseed oil
These simple agents combined form :,
thick. cream like substance, which eff
fectually excludes the air from the in
jured parts. and allays the inflammation
almost instantly. He mentions a cast
where child fell backward into bath,
tub of boiling water, and was nearly
fayed from her neck to below her hips
Her agonies were in.lescribable; but,
her clothing being gently removed, aud
the lime of oil preparation thickly
spread over the injured surface. she
was sound asleep in five minutes,
subsequently the parts were carefully
washed with warm milk and water three
times day, the oil dressing renewed,
and the little patient rapidly recovered.
Though all the scal,led skin came oil,
she did not have scar. This remedy
leaves no hard coat to dry on the sores,
but softens the parts and aids nature
to repair the injury in the reailiest and
most expeditions manner. The mix

Book MorHs.-There are some
houses 30 circumstanced in regard to
dampness that they seem to ccnduce to
the multiplication of insects to nm ex-
traordinary degree. Thus, some places
are infested with cockroaches, especial
~ II there are water-pipes leading
extensively through the premises.
Others are beset with armies of small
red ants, so minute that they creep
through the narrowest chink into draw
ers, trunks, and closets, in search of
whatever answers their purpose for
food, but especially are they always on
the Qui viue for sweets. Literary poo
pie are occasionally annoyed by the
depredations of minute insects, which
feed luxuriously on their fine books,
manuscripts and pamphlets. They
are popularity known as book moths
They appear to be in search of the paste,
glue, and sizing, which are used
by the binders. However old and dry
the books may be, if the room in which
they are kept, or the cases IN which
they are arranged, are slightly damp,
it softens the old glue or size by imbi-
bition, just the condition required by
tho invaders. In gnawing it from the
paper surface into which it originally
penetrated, they also destroy the tex
ture of the leaves, SO that costly works
are quite ruined. There is no better
remedy than placing the books at once
in dry room where the moisture evap-
crates; and if the sun acts upon the
windows daily, 80 much the better.
The moths disappear when the paste
becomes too hard for them. Or rather
their activity is suspended, to be re-
vived on again removing the books into
damp apartment. Russia binding is
SO offensive to them that they cannot
attack books in Russia leather-binding.

into small pieces; take out the seeds
