How to Get Rid of Household Pests.

have not seen bed-bug or flea in
my house for many years. If an army of
them were to be brought in, mercury would
speedily destroy them but [ think clean
illness is the best perhaps the only preven-
tive. The common house fly do not
molest, believeiDg that it more than COM
pensates for its trouble by clearing the at
mosphere of aff1uvia and the animalcules
which always arise from the putrefaction of
decaying substances during warm weather.
So also with the birds, which are quite
numerous here during the summer. In
stead of shooting them or setting up scare
crows to frighten them away, throw out
every possible inducement for them to build
their nests in my fruits trees. The birds
capture large share of the insects in the
larva state, and thus the milers are pre-
vented from depositing eggs for future
worms-As to the loss of fruit by the birds,
the latter are always sure to be on hand in
force in the season of ripe fruit, whether
they come early to take the worms or not.
For the residue of insects which infest my
vegetable garden [ find that the laboratory
of the chemist furnishes materials fatal to
them all, among which white hellebore and
cayenne pepper are of the most utility. The
bug or worm which cannot find vegetation
unfavored with these articles will seek its
breakfast elsewhere and leave green gar
den unmolested. A few drops of carbolic
acid in pint of water will clean house
plants of lice in very short time. limos
quitoes or other blood-suckers infest our
sleeping rooms at night, we uncork a bot
tie of the oil of pennyroyal, and these in
sects leave in great haste, nor will they re-
turn so long as the air in the room is loaded
with the fumes of that aromatic herb. If
rats enter the cellar, little powered pot
ash thrown into their holes, or mixed with
meal and scattered in their runaways, never
fails to drive them away. Cayenne pep
per will keep tie buttery and store-room
free from ants and cockroaches. If mouse
makes an entrance into any part of your
dwelling, saturate rag with cayenne in
solution and stuff it into hole, which can
be repaired with either wood or mortar
No rat or mouse will eat that ragfor the
purpose of opening communication with the
depot of supplies.-Charlcs Thompson an
Scientific american.

A colored man nambed Nelson is owing a

Sod as a Fertilizer.

During the past year | made limited
experiment in the use of grass sods as a
fertilizer. 1t was desired to plant piece
of worn out land in cabbage. Home made
manure was exhausted, and it was doubtful
whether commercial fertilizers would pay
on land so utterely destitute of humus and
all other carbonaceous matter. burrows
were opened four feet apart with one
horse turn plough, which was run twice
each way, opening to depth and width of
about ten inches. The road sides were re-
sorted to four wild grass sods, which were
taken up with a spade, of a width to suit
the burrows, which were then filled full of
loose earth with a hoe. After the first
rain the plants, which were of good size,
were dibbled into the loose earth, the roots
reaching down generally to the sods. The
plants gained rapid growth within few
days, and the result was such a crop of cab
bages as | have never seen produced except
in soil in a high state OF fertility previously,
or made SO for the special crop by very
liberal application of fertilizers The sod
was source of both moisture and fertility,
maintained thriftiness in the plants dur
ing drouth, which seriously affected ad-
joining crops.-P2antation

The Fruits of Good Work.

About two years ago the ladies of tho
Dorcas Society at our church, made up a
large quantity of shirts, trousers and socks,
and boxed them to a missionary station on
the west coast of Africa A man named
Ridley went out with the boxes and stayed
in Africa several months. When he re-
turned, the Dorcas Society, Of course, was
anxious to hear how its donation was re-
ceived, and Ridley, one evening, met the
members and told them about it in little
speech. He said
"Well, you know, we got the clothes out
there all right, and after while we distrib-
uted them among some of the natives in the
neighborhood We thought may be it
would attract them to the mission, but 1t
didn't, and after some time had elapsed and
not native came to church with those
clothes on, | went out on an exploring
expedition to find out about it, 1t seems
that on the first day after the goods were
distributed one of the chiefs attempted to
mount at shirt He didn't exactly un-
derstand it and he pushed his legs through
the arms and gathered the tail around his
waist. He couldn't make it stay up, how
ever, and they say he went around inquir-
ing in his native tongue what kind of an
idiot it was that constructed a garment
that wouldn't hang on, and swearing some
of the most awful heatben oaths. At last
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1875-12-02

he left it dragging, and that night his legs
got tangled in it somehow, and he fell over
precipice and was killed
"Another chief who got one on properly
went padding around in the dark, and the
people imagining that he was ghost sacri-
feed four babies to the idol to keep off the
evil spirit.
"And then, you know, those trousers you
sent out? Well, they fitted one pair on
the idol, and then they stuffed most of the
rest with leaves and set them up as kind
of new tangled idols. and began to worship
them. They say that the services were
very impressive. Some Of the women split
a few pairs in half, and after sewing up the
legs used them to carry yams in, and [
saw one chief with corduroy leg on his
head as kind of helmet.
~ think, though, the socks were most
popular. All fighting men went for them
the first thing. They filled them with
sand and used them as boomerags and war
clubs. 1 learned that they were so much
pleased with the efficiency of those socks
that they made raid on a neighboring
tribe on purpose to try them, and they say
that they knocked about eighty women and
children on the head before they came
home. They asked me if I wouldn't speak
to you and get you to send out few
barrels more, and to make them little
stronger so they would last longer, and [
said / would.
"This societys doing power of good to
those heathens, and I've no doubt if you
keep right along with the work you will in
augurate general war all over the conti-
nent of Africa, and give everybody an idol
of his own. All they want is enough socks
and pants. I'll take them the next time /
go out again.
Then the Dorcas passed resolution de-
claring that it would, perhaps, be better to
let the heather go naked and give the
clothes to the poor at home, and I think
myself that it is more preferable.-Mar
Adeler.

Throw Away Your Meek Wrapper.

Now that the weather is getting fresh
and brisk, we see people coming oct with
great mufflers and comforters around their
neoks. Wrappers for the throat give the
doctors nearly rs much practice on throat
diseases as all the malaria and foul air that
is breathed in the lungs They are breed
ers of disease, aud should not be worn at
all, unless the person is actually suffering
with some disease of the throat Or neck that
needs protection. The throat grows stroS;8
by exposure to the cold air, and no matter
how icy the wind may feel, whatever the
face will bear, the throat stand without any
disagreeable effect being experienced from
it. That is, we mean the throat will stand
exposure if it is Injured to it. If wrappers
are used it becomes weak, and person
must exercise the greatest caution in going
out of doors or he will contract cold or
sore throat. The warmer the comforter
the more apt will the throat and neck be
to sweat, and the more liable will it be to-
take cold. OF course the breast should be
well protected, but we persist in saying that
mufflers around the neck are very danger
Gus kind Of clothing. We have noticed
particularly ladies who wear furs around
their nccks, and those who have none to
Wear. In the one case sore throats from
colds will be a speciality, and in the other
sore throat will hardly be known. The
writer of this article has not worn muffler
around his neck for twenty-five years, ancf
he has had but two cases of sore throat,
each of which was caused by general
arrangement of the system. Discard your
muffiers, your comforters, and especially
your neck furs. What can be more ridi-
culous than to see man with great tower
ing fur around his neck 1t reeks with
sweat, the smell of tobacco, and poor whisky
if he is in the habit of frequenting rum
mills. 1t becomes immeasurably dirty and
fifty after having been worn a few times
and will ruin any mans throat who wears
it.

Irish Sharpness,

He claimed that stable manure was per-

commenced moving the same 4 law suit
ensued, and the court decided against him,
His final remarks to the Judge, after the
jury had found verdict against him, were
as follows
"Mr. Judge, a horse and COW are per-,

"Yes," answered the Judge.
"Mr, Judge, corn, oats, hay, etc, arc,

'Yes," responded the Judge.
"Then, says Pat, show in the divil can
personal property eat personal property and,
