Get Rid of Moths.

The early days of June should herald
vigorous and exterminating warfare
against these subtle pests. Closets, ward
robes, all receptacles for clothing, should
be emptied and laid open, their contents
thoroughly exposed to light and air, and
well brushed and shaken before being
replaced. In old houses much infested
with moths, all cracks in floors, VAIN
scots, or furniture should be brushed
over with spirits of turpentine. Cam
phor or tobacco should be placed among
all garments, furs, plumes, etc., when
laid aside for the summer. To secure
cloth Innings of carriages from the at
tacks of moths, sponge them on both
sides with solution of corrosive sub
Innate of mercury in alcohol, made just
strong enough not to leave white mark
on black feather. Moths may be killed
by fumigating the article containing
them with tobacco or sulphur, or by
putting it, if practicable, into an oven
heated to about 1902 Fab.

How to do 1t.

How can eight gallons of wine in one
vessel bedevided into two equal portions,
with no other conveniences for measur-
ing but two empty vessels, one holding
five and the other three gallons?"
Solution: Out of the eight gallons
fill the three gallon vessel, and empty it
into the five gallon vessel. Then fill it
again, and out of it fill up the five gallon
vessel. This will leave one gallon in
the smallest vessel. Empty the five
gallons back into the eight, and then
pour the one from the three into the
five; fill the three again and pour it into
the five. There will now be four gal
Ions in the five gallon vessel, and the
same quantity left in the eight gallon
vessel, the wine being equally divided.
