A New Pest.

A new insect pest has appeared,
which promises to make housekeeping
as discouraging business as the long
suffering Granger finds the raising of
potatoes in the face of the Colorado
beetle. This latest terror of the patient
housewife is an emigrant from Europe,
with the distinguished title "Anthrenus
scrophulGriG. Upon its native heath
the stranger contents itself mainly
with an animal diet, but on its arrival
this side the water it develops vora-
cious appetite for everything wooden.
Hence it has been Familiarity dubbed
"the carpet-bug," and in its specially
it seems to far outrival that old-time
enemy of domestic peace, the moth.
The insects multiply rapidly, and so
destructive are they that some people
who have had particularly sorrowful
experiences are of the opinion that car
pets will have to be given up entirely
when his bugship has possessed the
land. The bugs are black, hairy fell
lows, about quarter of an inch long,
of oval shape and very quick of motion.
These in turn produce sluggish beetles,
an eighth of an inch in length, spotted
with white and red. Wherever there
is a crevice, that is the home of the
carpet-bug, which, however, does not
confine his diet to carpets alone, but
attacks clothing and furs hanging in
closets or packed in drawers. One
check to the ravages of this new pest is
a liberal application of benzine, which
should be applied in every crack and
Granny where the bug is likely to find a
lodging-place. Still another remedy is
the Hemiptera powders" invented
and successfully used in England to
exterminate the bug, and also in use in
some Massachusetts towns. The car
pet-bug is comparatively recent i'm
portation. 1t made itself known at
Cambridge in this State in 1873, and
almost simultaneously in portions of
New York and New Jersey. 1t has

Longevity In Ireland.

The Irish Registrar-General reports
that there were SO, 500 deaths registered
in Ireland in the year 1877, and that in
67 instances the deceased was described
as aged 100 years or upward. Some of
the local Registrars inquire into the
truth of these statements. In the re-
turn which has been recently issued for
the last quarter of the year 1877 the
Registrar of Bantry reports the death
of woman 102 years old, and says he
had personal knowledge of her, and has
every reason, from inquiries made, to
believe that the age was not exagger-
ated. She had full use of her faculties,
and up to few weeks before her death
was able to move about. The Regis
trar of Portaferry, Downpatrick, records
the death of a woman also 1902 years
old, and "has good reason for believ-
ing that her age was understated.
The Registrar of Coolmountain, Dun
manway, who registered the death of a
man 100 years old, has no doubt, from
inquiries made, that the age is given
correctly. He used to smoke, but never
drank to excess. He was accustomed
to undergo great hardships in wet and
cold, but always took the precaution as
