To DESTROY INsECTs.-The Boston
"Journal of Chemistry" says that hot
alum-water is a recent suggestion as an
insecticide. 1t will destroy red and black
ants. cockroaches, spiders, chintz-bugs,
and all the crawling pests which infest our
houses. Take two pounds of alum and
dissolve it in three or four quarts OF boil
ing water; let it stand on the fire until
the alum disappears then apply 1t with
brush, while nearly boiling hot, to every
joint and crevice in your closets, bed
steads, pantry shelves, and the like. Brush
the crevices in the floor of the skirting or
mopboards, if you suspect that they har-
Dor vernin. If, in washing cell
ing, plenty of alum is added to the lime, 1t
will also serve to keep insects at a dis
lance. Cockroaches will flee the paint
which has been washed in cool alum-water.
Sugar-barrels and boxes can be freed from
ants by drawing wide chalk-mark just
round the edge Of the top of them. The
mark must be nnbroken, or they will creep
over it; but continuous chalk-mark,
half an inch in width, will set their depre-
dations at naught. Powdered alum or
borax will keep the chintz-bug at respec-
table distance.

GOODBYE.

Goodbye, goodbye, it is the sweetest blessing
That falls from mortal lips on mortal ear,
The weakness of our human love conlessng,
The promise that a love more strong IS ne sar7s
May God be with you sf4I
Why do we say it when the tears are stdi this ~
Why must a word so sweet bring only pam
Our love seems all sufficient till the pafuhs, @4
And then we feel it impotent and yall-
May God be with you
Oh may He guide and bless and keep you ever,
He who is strong to battle with your loes
Whoever fails, His love can fail you never
And all YOU need He in His wisdom knows
May God be with you'll ~
Better than earthly presence, cen the dearest
Is the great blessing that our partlngs BRING;
For in the loneliest moments God is nearest,
And from our sorrows heavenly comforts spring,
If God be with us.
Goodbye, goodbye, with latest breath we say IT,
legacy OF hope, and faith, and love;
Parting must come, we cannot long delay it,
But. one in Him. we hope to meet above,
If God be with us.
Good-bye-tis all we have for one another,
Our love- more strong than death, is helpless still,
For none can take the burden from his brother !.
Or shield, except by prayer, from any i'll
May God be with you!

A BRIDE SHOT IN THE MOUTH
MI. Casper Fisher, who lives on the
mountain near Ellenville, N. Y 3, having
taken young wife, was visited on Satur
day evening Of last week by what the Ell
lenville 'sJournal'' styles a ''skimmelton"
party. They kept up a lively din with tin
horns and pans, shot guns, &C., until the
bride at last put her head out of a window
above and inquired if they ''hadn't made
racket enough AT this one of the party,
stepping under the window, shot point
blank at the bride. Then they fled. The
lady, who was nearly killed, was shot in
the mouth Six of her teeth were carried
away, and they, with the wad, were driven
into her tongue. She lost at least two
quarts of blood. The whole front of the
house is SCARED with gun shot.

ARTICLES DISCOVERED IN PoNIPEII.-
One of the most interesting features Of
the excavations in this buried city is the
discovery of many homely domestic arti-
Giles OF which we have counterparts. 1t is
astonishing how many things in common
use now were in use then. Here you will
see almost every kitchen utensil, portable
cooking stoves, jelly cake and butter
moulds in the imitation of birds and flow
ers; pots, kettles, crooks, dishes, cups and
saucers, spoons, knives and forks and dip
pers, swimmers, saucepans, frying-pans,
lamps, lamp stands, fesh-hooks, braziers
for charcoal. In word, pretty much
every kitchen, dining-room or chamber
article found in modern use entered into
the daily life of Roman antiquity. All
the articles of lady's toilet, including
jewelry of all kinds, gold and silver orna-
ments, corals and precious stones, were
found in houses in Pompeii. Taken from
the retail shops were steelyards, balances,
weights and measures. From DOCTORS
office was recovered a full set of surgical
instruments, including 'pulikins" for ex-
tracing teeth, and trepans for drilling
holes in the skull. There is any number
Of shoemaker, tailor, carpenter, and black
smith tools, and, indeed, implements of
almost every present mechanical operation.
Taken altogether, the collection of arti-
Giles taken from the dead city is a surpris-
ing revelation to every one, showing that
the ancients invented and perfected ten
thousand implements and articles of COM
mon life which we still use with little i'm
provement thereon and without giving
them credit therefor.

.EXTRAoRDINARY BE(E)HAvIoR AS
Mr.. John Gads was riding near the 4th
mile stone on the pike, between Leesburg
and this place. en- Monday, he suddenly
found himself in the midst Of swarm of
bees. Fearing they would attack him and
his horse. he attempted, by the free use of
whip and spur to ride away from them,
but they followed him like his shadow,
whirling and buzzng in irregular circles
around him. Finding it impossible to es-
cape from them he halted, when the bees
began Immediately to settle ON the horses
tail where they accumulated until they
formed a bunch the size of bushel meas
ure. Mr.. Gads retained his seat in the
saddle until the last bee had peacefully
taken its position, when he started for
home, about two or more miles distant,
which he reached without disturbing the
bees OF seeming to give the horse the
slightest inconvenience or fright. The
question now arose as to what disposition
to make of them; how to detach them
from the horse. Mrs. Gads suggested that
the only way was to cut the tail off which
he at once proceeded to do, carried the
swarm to the rear end of the house and
gently deposited them on a bench. Several
neighbors calling in, Mr.. Gads related his
strange adventure, in confirmation of
which he took the gentleman to the bench
where he had left the bees. They found
the heap lying exactly as he had left it, SO
perfectly motionless that they concluded
at once they were dead, and upon eXamin-
alton found a most singular state of things.
Attached to each and every hair was a bee
literally hung, with the hair either formed
into slip-knot drawn tightly around it's
neck, OF strangled by having been wound
tightly around the body. Every hair had a
bee on it but only one, and sim ular as it
may seem, to the centre and longest hair
was firmly attached, in the repose Of
death, the Queen bee.
We have since learned that Mr.. Gads
has forwarded the tail and bees intact to
Professor Henry at the Smithsonian Insti-
tute where it can be examined Virginia
Press.

A Bride OF ten Days Deserted
for AAO Their Woman.

Some ten days ago wealthy gentleman
| and a prepossessing, well-to-do appearing
lady, arrived at Park Hotel, Hoboken,
his name as E. Peperkorn and that of his
companion as Gladly" Peperkorn is an
engineer. Attic Park Hotel they Toasted
and enjoyed the luXuries of life in a man
ner which showed a determined DISPOSE
ton to make themselves supremacy happy.
After a few days orders were given by the
chivalrous looking stranger to make prep
arations for the celt bration of marriage
ceremonies This was done, and to impart
religious character to the tying of the
matrimonial knot, the Rev. Dr. Bristow,
pastor of the Protestant Episcopal church,
was invited to perform the ceremony,
which he did with the customary solemni-
ty. All went merry with the newly mar
ried pair until Wednesday night, when
MI. Peperkorn absented himself. Yester-
day afternoon information reached the
police station that a MI. Sherman, of Ann
street; New York, had been abandoned,
and, what was perhaps worse, robbed of
81, 900 by his wife Lena, and that she was
about to leave for Europe in company
with another husband. Officer Bagley
fastened to the Hamburg Dock and search
ed the steamer Westphalia, which was
about to leave port. After long labors he
found Mrs. Sherman and a large quantity
Of luggage which on examination was
found to be Peperkorn's. The vessel was
then searched, but no Peperkorn was there.
Mrs. Sherman acknowledged that she was
about to elope with him, but denied any
knowledge of his whereabouts. In her
chignon some of her husbands jewelry
was found secreted, and she had in her
possession $3.50 out of the ST 900 missed by
her husband.
The latter declined to proceed further
against his spouse, and seemed very glad
to have caught her in the nick of time
Meanwhile Mrs. Peperkorn retires to the
private residence of some personal friends
in Washington street, Hoboken, and is
awaiting further developments

MEDICINE AND LONG LIFE.-For sew
eral hundred years record has been kept
in Geneva, showing that the system of
medication improves the health, lessons
the mortality, from which it may be in
ferred that the rule is approximately uni
versal. In Geneva, accurate registers
have been kept of the yearly average of
life since 1860, which was then twenty-five
years six months, in 1928 it was forty
years and five months. Thus in less than
three hundred years the average duration
of life is nearly doubled. In the fourteenth
century the average mortality in Paris
was one in sixteen, it is now about one in
thirty-two, Tor, rather it was before the
Franco-Prussian wary In England the
rate of mortality in 1900 was onein thirty
six, now, about one in forty-six.

THE VE$ETABLE GARDEN. EARLY crops
should have their remains cleared off the
ground, and succession crops planted. Do
not allow the litter to accumulate, but
burn all weeds. Crops not matured must
be kept clean end the ground perfectly
pulverized.
Asparagus beds should be cleared off,
forked shallow and good coating of ma
nure applied. Celery may be set out for
the main crop. The plan Of planting in
trenches seems still the favorite one. When
planted ON the surface the soil should be
rich and well worked. Cabbages for the
principal crop should now be put out
Those already planted should be well
worked. Caulifooers the same. lettuce
may be planted out. Give it a good rich
place and water. S,oeet Potatoes should be
kept free from weeds and the ground stir
red as well as possible Sloeet Corn may
be planted in the first half Of the MONTH
Herbs now about in their bloom should be
cut for drying.
