The New /" Insecficide.v

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 homes. Take two
pounds of alum and dissolve it in three
or four quarts of boiling water {; let it
stand on the fire till the alum disap-
pears then apply it with a brush,
while nearly boiling-hot, to every joint
and crevice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry, shelves and the like. Brush the
crevices in the floor of the skirting, or
mop-boards, if you suspect they harbor
vermin. If in whitewashing ceiling
plenty of alum is added TO the lime. it
will also serve to keep insects at 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 around the edge of the top
of them The mark must be unbroken or
they will creep in, but continuous
chalk line half an inch in width will set
their depredations at naught. Pow
dercd alum or borax will keep the
chintz.bug at a respectable distance,
and travellers should always carry
package of it i'll their handbags, to
scatter over and under their pillows, Ill
places where they have reason to sus-
pect the presence of such bed-fellows.-
