I,dus,rial school for Girls.

The Managers of the Maine Industrial Schoo,
for Girls have issued their annual report in PAM
phlet form. good degree Of success has attend
ed the first years management of the Institution.
1t was opened for the reception Of pupils January
20, 1875. Thirty-two girls have been received
during the year, two Of whom have been supplied
with good homes outside Of the school, and arc
doing well. The thirty remaining fill the school
to its full capacity, and no more car be received
until places are found for those already there.
The Matron Mrs. Mary j. Hamilton, and the As
sistant, Miss Charlotte NJ. Brown, have performed
their delicate duties with very great acceptance
Four hours of each day are devoted to study and
recitation in the school room the rest of the day
not required for recitation is occupied in sewing,
cooking, washing, ironing, and other work per-
tanning to housekeeping. The scholars have
made good progress. Many who entered the
school eight or ten months ago, exceedingly wild
and uncultvated, now appear like very respectable
young ladies.
The Managers ask for an appropriation Of
$4,000, which they hope, with strict economy, will
enable them to deiray the current expenses of the
wear. The experience of the first year has dem
onstrated the value of the institution and has also
demonstrated the fact that larger accommodations
and better facilities are needed for this benecent
work. Another building could be easily filled
were it provided. An appeal for help is made to
those who are in sympathy with the school in its
work.
OF the SO pupils who have been received at the
school the past year, 2 have come from Augusta;
from Bangor; from Portland; 8 from Bath; 4
from Ellsworth; from Rockland; 5 from Hal

To Get Rid Of Household Pests.

Charles Thompson writes TO the Scien-
tfc american that he has not seen a
bed bug or flea In his house for many
years, and adds If an army of them
were brought in mercury would speedily
exterminate them but I think cleanli-
ness is the best and perhaps the only
preventive. The common house-fy
do not molest, believing it more than
compensates for its trouble by clearing
the atmosphere of effluvia and the ami
malcules which always arise from the
putrefaction of decaying substances dur
ing the warm weather. So also with the
birds, which are quite numerous here,
during the summer. Instead of shoot
ing them or setting up scarecrows to
frighten them away, 1 throw out every
possible inducement for them to build
their nests in my fruit trees. The birds
capture large share of the insects in
the larval state, and thus the millers are
prevented from depositing eggs for fu-
ture crop of worms. AS to the loss of
fruit by the birds, the latter are always
sure to by on hand in force in the season
of ripe fruit, whether they come early
enough to take the worms or not. For
the residue of insects which infest my
vegetable garden 1 find that the labor
atory of the chemist furnishes materials
fatal to them all, among which white
hellebere and cayenne pepper are OF the
most utility.
The bug or worm which cannot find
vegetation unflavored with these articles
will seek its breakfast elsewhere, and
leave my garden unmolested. A few
drops of carbolic acid in pint of water
will clean house plants from lice in very
short time. II mosquitoes or other
blood-suckers infest our sleeping rooms
at night, we uncork a bottle of oil of
penny-royal, and these insects leave in
great haste, nor will they return so long
as the air in the room is loaded with the
fumes of that aromatic herb. II rats
enter the cellar, q little powdered potash
thrown into their holes, or mixed with
meal and scattered in their run-ways,
never fails to drive them away. Cayenne
pepper will keep the buttery and store
room 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 cannot be repaired with
either wood or mortar. No rat or mouse
will eat that rag for the purpose of open
ing communication with depot of sup
plies.

Granger Centennial Hotel.

A Philadelphia letter-writer says :
"The Patrons of Husbandry, who in the
Agricultural and Horticultural depart
ments will have a good deal to do with
the Exhibition, and who are likely to con-
tribute a large number of visitors from
many of the States, started some time ago
an enterprise which, if it is honestly car
ried out, may recommend itself to others
besides members of the order, who may
not be able to endure the pecuniary
"squeeze" at Philadelphia hotels and
boarding-hous The original protector
of this enterprise, Mr.. r. Fl. Thomas,
perfected the plan of what is called "The
Patrons Centennial Encamppent," in
tended TO afford cheap board to all. Off
GERS of an association were elected, who
have got the lease of large mansion
house and forty acres of land near Elm
station, on the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, six miles from the bust
ness part of Philadelphia, and three
miles from the Centennial grounds. The
association is O joint stock one, whose
capital of $50, 900 is solicited from sub
scribers at $50 share. According to
the last announcements of the association
the Board of Managers have made con-
tracts for the erection of buildings on
their grounds principally one-story), in
which they propose to rent well. but not
expensively furnished rooms, for 81 a
day each to one or two persons. Meals
will be provided at fifty cents each, but
parties may bring their own provisions
and still occupy rooms. Pure water,
thorough police surveillance, plenty of
light on the grounds, corridors, dining
rooms and offices at night, large hall
for lectures and religious services, a
laundry, barber-shops, cigar stands, ice
cream saloons and other stores and shops
excepting bar-rooms for the sale of Ii
quors)-these conveniences are promised
at the encampment, between which and

A Woman Sentenced to Penal Servitude.

The Manchester (Eng.) Guardian, of
recent date, says: ga poisoning case,
which has occupied the Perigueux court
a fortnight, and been the subject of con-
versation in the French provinces for
upward of year, has terminated in the
acquittal of two out of three of the pris-
oners. The charge was that Garrigues,
q respectable small farmer, after running
himself by making gentleman of his
son, who took medical degree in Paris,
was poisoned by arsenic by the son, who
had interest in stopping an alimentary
pension of 600 francs a year for the sup
port of his father. 1t was alleged that
this son conspired with his mother and a
servant named Issier, her reputed para
mour. DIR. Garrigues was fourteen
months in prison, and repeatedly ques-
toned with that entrapping ingenuity
familiar to French prosecutors; and the
theory of public rumor was entirely
adopted by the Judge-advocate and the
President, that, because he was doctor,
he must have furnished his mother with
the arsenic that poisoned his father.
The verdict acquits the doctor and the
servant, and finds the wife guilty OF
poisoning, not with arsenic, but with
vitriol. Extenuating circumstances
meaning the repugnance of the jury tc
guillotine woman-being found, she
was sentenced to penal servitude for life. y
