with our quasi editorial pen, for their

Democratic measures during the pres

MOTHS IN FURNITURE.-We take the
following valuable notice from the An1er-
icun Agricutturaii% for October: A set of
furniture that seemed to be alive with the
Larvae, from the month it came new, and
from which hundreds had been picked and
brushed, was set into room by itself
Three gallons of be- zine were purchased
ut thirty cents gallon. retail. Using Il
small watering pot. with II fine rose
sprinkler. the whole upholstery was sat
urated through and through with the ben
zine. Result: Every moth, larve and egg
was killed. The benzine dried out in II
few hours, and its entire odor disappeared
in three or four days. Not the slightest
harm happened to the varnish, or wood
or fabrics, or hair.stuffing. That was
months ago, and not sign of moth has
since appeared, The carpets We're also
well sprinkled all round the sides of the
rooms with equally good effect. To have
known this two years ago would have
been worth at least fifty dollars to us in
the saving of n single set of furniture, and
would have saved many days of most an
moving labor. If this is not worth. to null
titudes of housekeepers, many times the
cost of the american Agricu'turtIi3 we
shall be greatly mistaken. For furs, fan
nels. indeed all woolen articles containing
moths. benzine is most valuable. Put them
in box, sprinkle them with benzine, close
the box tightly, and in IL day or two the
pests will be exterminated and the ben
zine will all evaporate on opening.
CAUTION :-Benzine. in fluid or vapor
form. is very inhammable; therefore,
when using it have no fire or burning light
in the room-not even II match on the
floor to be stepped on With this precau
ton it is safe. With the windows open,
its odors even will soon disappear.

A CHANCE FOR EVERY ONE.-We often
come across people who have been unfor-
tunate for life. They have lost property
They have lost standing in community.
They have lost their earthly loves Some
of them have lost even faith and hope.
Many of them have lost what would have
made them happy. by their own foolish
ness. Their troubles all run back to u
wrong decision,-to one fatal hour. In
that hour they did what they should not
have done; and all their troubles are trace
able to that one event. These people write
to us for advice, for sympathy.-some of
them from feeling that they must tell
somebody. What shall we say to themp
The past bunders do not kill. Past fol
lies do not forfeit future opportunities.
God is always ready to give one another
chance. Heaven is never hopeless. 1t

down. God seems to feel sure that everV
prodigal will one day or another come
back; and is more anxious to get the best

EDISON STILL INvENTING.-Edison S last
invention is one to super>ede the illumna-
ting gas now in use by electricity, and to
furnish an amount of light equal to 1000
feet of gas. costing from $3.50 10 So tor
twelve or fifteen cents. This new illumi-
mating agent is produced by the Wallace
machine, called the telemachon or dynam-
oeeclric machine, which may be run b,
water or steam power. The machine
divides the electricity into but ten separate
parts; but Edison's discovery, which is to
he attached to the Wallace machines, will
enable each of them to produce from one
thousand to ten thousand separate lights.
and thus give the invention great practical
value. And Edison discovery, while
furnishing this cheap light TO Il dwelling,
furnishes it also with a motive power sui
ticient to run al elevator, a sewing ma
chine, ETC.. and with heat enough for cook
ing purposes. and all alta tritling cost.
Such, at least, is Mr.. Edison's own report
ed opinion of his invention. There appears
TO be rather too much of too many good
things coming from Mr.. Edison about this
time. We must wait for practical results.
