MOTHS IN FURNITURE.-The are,
says the Scientific American, two species
of moths which infest furniture. One
is a large fly of silvery white color; the
worm of the same is shaped like chest
nut worm. and is familiarly known. 1t
rarely infests furniture The other is a
small fly of a dark drab color; the
worm Is about ona-fOurth of an inch
long; and tapering from the head to the
tail. 1t was first observed by uphol-
sterers about thirteen years ago. This
fly penetrates u sofa or char, generally
between the backs and seats Of sofas, OF
under the seats, where the vacancy
among the springs affords safe retreat
1t may make a Judgment in one week
after the furniture IS placed in the
house. If such should be the case IL
two months the worm will appear and
the continual process of procreatlon III
few months increases the number tC
! thousands. This moth has no season.
1t destroys in winter and summer alike
and it Is kept in active life by the con.

same time. in the same piece of turni-
ture, the fly, the worm, and the eggs
thus showing that they are breeding
and destroying all the time. 1t does
not eat pure curled hair but fastens It's
cocoon to it, the elasticity of which pre-.
vents its being disturbed The inside
of furniture is used by it only for the
purpose of propagation. The worm
when ready for food crawls out and
destroys the covering, if of wooden OF
plush material and falling to the car
! pet, destroys it. 1t rarely cuts through
| plush from the inside, as it is of cotton
/ back, but there are instances where
worms have cut up muslin on the out
| side back of sofas. There IS no prOtec-
! ton against them but continued care
! New furniture should be removed from
| the walls at least twice a week at this
| season of the year, and should be vel
whisked all round, and particularly I'M
I der the seats, to prevent the fly from
! lodging. This Is an etfectual prevent
i've, and the only one known. CAYENNE
pepper, Scotch snuff, camphor, turpen
! tine and all other remedies for protec
| ton from the large moth are of little OF
no avail against the furniture moths
Saturation with alcohol will not destroy
them when IN a piece of furniture II
the furniture is infested. they NAV
be removed by taking off the muslin
from under the seats and off the out
side back and ends, where they congre
gate most, and exposing to the air as
much as possible. Beat well with q
whisk or the open hand, and kill all the
flies and worms which show themselves
| This done often viii disturb them. anC
may make them leave the furniture, IL
| their desire to be left III quiet. Whe1
the furniture Is free from moths and Is
! to be left during the summer months
without attention, it may be protected
! by camphor in small bags or highly
concentrated patchouli. The safes
way is to have the furniture well whisk
| ed twice week If the moths attach
the carpet, which they will first do I'M
der the sofas and chairs, spread we
sheet on the carpet and pass a hot fiat
iron over it quickly; the steam vii
| eifectually destroy both worms anC
eggs. If furniture is delivered in {
dwelling free from moths, the uphol
sterer's responsibility ends there, anG
all rests with the housekeeper, as nc
/ tradesman can tell whether the moth
Will attack it or not. There are eases
where the furniture has been in use ter
or twelve years before being attacked
1t would be as fair to hold the tailor
responsible for the safety of clothing
from moths as to hold the upholsterel
responsible for the safety of furniture
