To GET RID OF HOUSEHOLD PESTS

To GET RID OF HOUSEHOLD PESTS.
i have not, says Charles Thompson,
seen bedbug or flea in my house for
many years. If an army of them were
to be brought in, mercury would speed
lily sexterminate them; but I think
cleanliness the best and perhaps the
only preventive. The common house
fly I do not modest, believing that "a
more than coppensates for its trouble
by cleaning the atmosphere of efauvia
and the animalcul@ which always arise
from the putrefaction Of decaying sub
stances in warm weather. A few drops
of carbolic acid in pint of water will
clean house plants from lice in a very
short time. If mosquitoes or other
blood suckers iufest cur sleeping rooms
at night we uncork bottle of the oil Of
psnnyroyal, and these insects leave in
great haste, nor will they return as long
as the air is loaded with the fumes Of
that aromatic herb. If rats enter the
cellar, little powdered potash thrown
into their holes or mixed with meal and
scattered in their runways never fails
to drive them away. Cayenne pepper
will keep the buttery and storeroom
free from ants and cockroaches. If a
mouse makes an entrance into any
part of your dwelling, saturate rag
with cayenne in solution and stuff it
into a hole, which can be repaired
with either wood or mortar. No rat
or mouse will eat that rag for the pur-
pose of opening communication with a
depot of supplies.

PROFIT IN FARMING.

The Southern farmer talks about
his hard lot, and concludes that
farmers of all other countries are
doing better than they are doing
in this. It is all a mistake. Many
of our farmers are scratching along
through hard times, no doubt, and
some of them are sadly in debt, but
how much better is it with the far
mers Of other sections of the coun-
try? How much better is it evenin
the famous agricultural regions of
the great Northwest-the best agrl-
cultural country in the world, as
claimed? Read the following ex-
tract from an address lately deliv-
cred before the Kishwaukee ul.)
Farmers Club, and then answer
the last question asked above:
Profit in farming consists not
wholly in dollars and cents. The
intelligent farmer who loves his
business, and successfully rears his
family in spite of insects, drought
or storms, and at the same time
increases the fertility of his soil,
without being engulfed in whirl-
pool of debts, is really richer in
true manhood and life usefulness
than a millio~~ ire with his ill-gotten
gains. We do not expect, and
hardly care to convince each other,
that any one branch of farm pur-
suit is so much more profitable thar
others as to make US rush pell-mell
to that branch, for which, perhaps,
neither aptitude nor education in
farm life fit US. Of course, as a
body of intelligent gentlemen, We
expect to learn many things from
our comparison Of views and state
ment of facts. For one, I shall be
content if We show to each other
several methods by which farmers
with ordinary intelligence and with
ont too constant and excessive toll,
can secure enough Of this worlds
goods to make life happy, home
cheerful, our children intelligent,
and an accumulating safety fund for
our declining years. I would not
have farmers allrich if I could, but
I would gladly see that day of
jubilee that must have cheered the
ancient world, when debts we're
banished from existence. This
great Northwest, aptly styled the
garden of the world, is crippled
from debt, till great masses of far
mers are not really free men. Far
mers owe the merchant, and hence
in a measure feel compelled to trade
on, in spite, it may be, of excessive
prices. The implement vendor has
many a farmers note running on
at ten per cent. piled on top, per-
haps,',of a fifty per cent. profit to
start with; hence, such vendor or
agent has almost complete control
of many, who dare not assert their
freedom for fear of consequences.
We have settled this goodly land,
endured many hardskips, toiled
early and late to rear our families
and provide comfortable homes for
coming years; ana while I rejoice
in the success of many, still I can
not close my eyes to the painful
fact that more than half the far
mers of the West are slaves to debt.
Farm mortgages and notes, with
high rates of interest, are rapidly
eating out their substance. Now,
if in cur discussions We can suggest
any branch or branches of farming
that will tend to lift the struggling
farmer from his dimculties-point
out to him more excellent way
we shall have accomplished good
work.

CHARACTER MAKES THE MAN.-The man
Of character is always the man of iron nerve;
he may be neither a great statesman nor
politician, he may be humble in his associa-
tioss and aspirations but with all these ex-
ceptions, if he has character, his heart is
right, his integrity is unshaken. lie looks
on truth with 4 clear vision, acting in ac-
cordauce with ssuperiordictates he does not
fear nor shun the face of his fellow man,
for his soul is white with integrity, and he
looks humbly asG trustingly, and, in short,
has character-good and stable character.
Character is the cornerstone of individual
greatness-the Doric and splendid column
in the majestic structure of true and digni-
fled man, who is at once a subject and a
! king, Such is the true type of perfect man
hood to earth belongs his corruptible body
to another and moro enlarged sphere his
soul, stamped with divinity.

MASONIC ODE.


tThc following poem, first published about nfeC
ears ago, Is stil going the rounds, as lively as eve
IS author New Jersey lady, Is now dead.l
A Masons lie Is one that's free
Not the llfe tho, Of mortar and bricks
But out OF nights enjoying a spree,
And playing astonishing tricks;
While the shes at home are waiting,
Nccr dreaming IT at all dodge,
But thinking the sad bclatng,
Is caused by "work at the Lodge"
Where they meet upon the level
To part upon the square,
And raise the very devil
While congregated there.
II a bachelor chap in his counting days
Grows weary Of being tied,
Both day and eve, almost always,
hy his fair DulCncas sldc,-
The easier way to escape awhile,
And in fact some calls TO dodge,
Is 10 seek the aid Of a Mason friend,
And join a Masonic Lodge.
Where they meet, etc.
The women don't like Masons-
Don't believe IN them the least
From the Tyler at the entrance
TO the fellow in the East;
Lodge meetings are but covers
TO hide some larklng dodge
