PEPPER EGR MOTHS.

A word in season, If it is the right
word, regarding moths, will be equiv
alent in utility to the old adage, "a
stitch in time saves nine" An oh
scure student of economic housewife
ry, who has attentively regarded for
a series of years the action of differ
ent vegetable substances on the life
and destruction of insects, has dis
covered the proper food for the gree
dy moth, all mouth. 1t is cheaper
than camphor Or tobacco, has no
SMELL and is always available. A
pound or two or three of black pep
per, ready pulverized for table use,
scattered freely among yonr furs and
woolcns, can easily be shaken all out
in the Autumn by some hand, willing
and happy to be hired to snesz re, aud
the garments will be fonnd uniniufed.
A lady who packed up her personal
effects in the loose confusion of too
little time and strength to devo.e
thereto, hurried them off TO one of
rour great storehouses, and left them
untouched during an absence of three
years. She had tossed the pepper
with random lavisIlness through each
trunk, box and defenceless bag Of
bundles. She found her fur-trimmed
and all-wool garments perfectly I'M
harmed after their three years of ex
ira exposure among the quantities
of other families goods accumulated
in the proper moths boarding
house.
Not only this triumph; another
diyulged experience brings to light
a handsome muff, which, being su
perseded ny other furs to match
suits, escaped use for fifteen or
twenty years, and was seldom looked
at. Well peppered, and without ex
ira care, it is clean, fresh and un.
damaged today. An economic OBJ

tory occasions, and funny profu-
sion Of sorrowless tears, or an hours
humbuff cough, in looking over a
trunk, if it earns money faster than
it can be earned in any other way.
In fact, this is the chief way in
which pepper should be used, unless
one waits to scare the mothe out of
ones stomach at the cost Of wearing
out and burning up the delicate It's
sues of the inner man. Pepper to be
trodden under foot in the shoes on a
cold journey, or in the case of a con
stltution where the blood needs to
be coaxed down to the feet, is, in
deed, useful also; but the evident
chief object Of nature in providing
black pepper is to defend mankind
from powerful robbers, of form and
color so indefinite that even in the
matter Of identity they often deceive
their most familiar vicLims.- New

world wide celebrity Of the father
and grandfather of the young lady
who is to be the bride. Apropos to
this wedding, the New York Evening
Post gives the following informa-
ton concerning the truly remalka-
BILE mixture Of the blood Of different
races in the veins of the young lady.
and also tells the story of how the
marriage CHANGED to come about.
Colette, the eldest daughter Of Alex

wealthy manufacturer of the South

was poor seamstress who was never

Of a.Russian prince, and was the or

Roman Catholic. Her mother be-
longs to the Greek Church. Her be-
trothed is a jew. Her father is tho

Her mother is a Russian. Her be-
trothed is an Alsatian. The story
of her courtship is. curious.
The first ball which she attended
threw her for the first time with her
betrothed. 1t was fancy ball. She
entered the room dressed as a lady

1t is found that from the grains of

q simple process, beauti ful green COL
oring matter, adapted to all purposes
Of the cook and tho confectioner, and
which will undoubtedly come into OK

Of green cOlors suitable for such uses,
and which are not poisonous, is very
limited. This coloring matter, accord
Ing to the account given Of the process
of extraction, Is obtained in the follow
Ing manner: The coffee grains are
crushed and the oil is extracted by
means of ether they are then dried and
agitated with the white Of eggs, 80 as
to form sort of paste, and the latter is
exposed for several days to the air. The
