spirituaI Amnities,

Mrs. Jobs requests me to ask if anybody can
account for the strange affinity which exists be-
tween her husbands latch-key and old MOnOn-
gahela wbiskey. Mrs. JObbs is a plain, common
sense woman, don't believe in your ghOstly rap
pings or table schottisches; but there is a spirit
nal affinity which puzzles her brains at least four
nights in a week, and she would like it explained
About week ago, Jobbs came home very late;
Mrs. Jobbs was sitting in the parlor, waiting for
her lord. She had several times limited to him
her suspicious of the intimate connection between
the two keys; but JObbs looked darby mysteri-
Gus, and did not confess. On this occasion, al
though JObbs saw at least half dozen holes, be
couldn't make the latch key fit. After describ-
ing innumerable triangles and semicircles OveI
the newly-painted door, he inquired:
"Wife, are you therep
"Ies, my dear, do you want to get in ~
81 shouldn't mind il for few minutes. You
think l amt all right, but I'll convince yOu old
woman. That affinity of yours is all humbng
for, you see, the whiskey's run down in my arms
and won't let the latch-key get in the hole
Things that's got an affinity don't fret and wOr-
~ one another that way"
This bit of sOphistry SO overwhelmed Mrs. JObbs
that she rushed up stairs in despair, and forgot
10 let in Jobbs, who, consequently, rolled himself
up in the doOr-mat, and made night Of it on the
front steps.
Is there no philosopher who will satisfactorily
explain to Mrs. JObbs this affinity" Other
equally anxious wives WOuld also like to know
something about it.

Dead Shot for Insects.

Strong alum water is death to bugs of
any description. Take two pounds of pulverized
or of ANY crystal alum, and dissolve in three
quarts of boiling water allowing it TO remain
over the fire until thoroughly dissolved. Apply,
while hot, with brush, or. what is better, use
a syringe to force the liquid into the cracks Of
the walls OF bedstead. The pulyerized alum is
worth a6out thirty cents a pound, and that in
crystal form fifteen to twenty-a cheap remedy.
The latter requires a little longer time to dis
solve. Of course an experiment to verify the
claim above made, can be made by employing a
mere fraction of the quantities above named. A
powdered alum freely in places where they abide.
Powdered borax, scattered thinly where crotOn
bugs and cockroaches travel or abide, will expel
them at once. 1t is a sure expulsion for the Gro
ton insect. Almost all strong saline solutions
are eficaciOus in the destruction of these house
hold pests, which are both destructive and an
noying, and the mixture Of alum OF any other
material need not necessarily be hot.
