The ssCrOwlin' FerlieS.o

That horror of the true housewife.
bedbugs, is abroad in the land at this
season of the year, and the remedies
therefor are almost as numerous as the
"crowlin ferlies'' themselves. Every
old, experienced housekeeper has some
favorite eXterminator, and the druggists
and grocers sell smelling liquids cal
culated to destroy them, and all other
vermin. And while the various RENE
dies are being applied, the brains are
cudgeled to discover where the pests
come from.
There are many ways in which bed
bugs are brought into house, to say
nothing of unlocked for resurrections
from some old trunk, or long unused
bed, or from crevice or crack where,
years before, a painter or paperer I'M
consciously entombed the tenacious little
life-for bedbugs possess remarkable
longevity, which seems to be sort of
sub-curse attached to an unmitigated
evil. One very prolific s'origin' of bed
bugs is-perhaps it should be whispered
"a church sociable, where, as is usually
the case, wraps are laid aside in bed
rooms. And room occupied by per-

for cushioned car-seats and sleeping

some one else's bedbugs seem little

harbor them, and in place haunted by
doves they are almost sure to be found
In the Southern States they are also
parasites of bats, though whether this is
true at the North am unable to say.

An Indian Agents Adventures.

George H. Spencer, of St. Paul, ap-
pointed agent for the Crow Creek In
dams, has had quite an eventful time
among the savages. He has had an
experience of thirty years among the
red men, speaking the Sioux language
as well as he does English. He partici-
pated in the outbreak of 1862, was shot
several times, dangerously wounded,
taken prisoner and held for six weeks,
his life being saved through the instru-
mentality of friendly Indian, after
whom the town of Chaska is named.
When he recovered he was turned over
to Gen. Sibley. Mr.. Spencer was with
Gen. Sbley in his expedition in 1868.
The Indian Chaska, at whose death Mr..
Spencer was present, has wife named
Tati, living near Mendota. Previous to
the outbreak in 1862 MIR. Spencer was
engaged in trading with the Indians at
Big Stone Lake, near the head waters of
the Minnesota, on the spot where the
town of Ortonville now stands, but his
store was pillaged, his property de-
stroyed, and he left penniless. He is ma
tive of Kentucky, and is fifty years old.
His appointment was made on the rec
ommendation of Bishop Hare.

be brushed or wiped and every loose
edge of the wallpaper and every crew
ice in the mop-board should be carefully
examined, for bedbugs make their homes
wherever they can find rest for the
soles of their feet. They may even be
found In window curtains and tassels,
and on the under sides of furniture, and
from these retreats they make their
nightly raids, returning by daylight.
A solution of corrosive sublimate in al
cohol, which, it should be remembered,
is IS fatal to children as it is to insects,
applied to all lodging places, is an old
remedy, partially replaced by the safer
application of kerosene, benzine, tur-
pentine, whisky, and almost anything
with pungent, disagreeable odor.
These can be applied by a small syringe.
feather, or brush. Kerosene and
turpentine retain their odor for time,
while benzine evaporates rapidly but
causes danger from its readiness to take
fire. Quicksilver and the whites of eggs
be aten together, another old compound,
is just as good with the quicksilver left
out, as it only makes a varnish, which,
if it covers up bug or the eggs, is sue
cessful. A strong solution of alum and
water is an excellent exterminator, and
has the advantage of being safe to ham
die and to keep in the house. When
bedstead is found to be full of the crea-
lures, it should be left out of doors for
several days and thoroughly scalded,
and then vanished, and every square
inch of the mattresses should be looked
ut with a solemn inexorableness, for the
consciousness of the presence of vermin
is fatal to all sincere aesthetic aspira-
tons.
But the ounce of prevention for all
these tribulations is very simple though
somewhat laborious. Once in two weeks
or four weeks at the most-the mat
tresses should be taken from every bed
stead, which then should be thoroughly
brushed and washed with hot water
Stats, sockets, joints and every place
where bug could find lodgings. BY
following this rule it is impossible for
bedbugs to become established, and this
knowledge will prove to be balm
which will even assauge the dread and
WEAKNESS of the work, not to
the satisfaction of having beds
free from all impurities and germs af

Pruning Deciduous Trees.

As a general rule, the less shade trees
are pruned the better. Nature will
form n better top and more harmo-
NOUS tree in all its parts than art
Severe pruning is no longer practiccd
even in fruit orchards by our best hor-
ticulturists. The custom that formerly
prevailed. of pruning evergreens and
other trees, so as to make top-shapcd,
ovate and other fantastic tops, is no
longer regarded as good taste. II YOU
want a tree with low spreading top,
plant one that grows that way. IL you
want an ovate or pyramidal top, plant
tree that will make such top, but do
not attempt to force trees TO assume
different forms from those which nature
gives them. Each tree trea, ed in this
way is h standing lie. and proclaims TO
every passer.by the folly OF its owner.
The true idea is to make each species
assume as nearly as possible the typical
form OF that species. To do this, some
pruning is sometimes necessary. IL
trees are not crowded-if each one has
room enough for the air and SUM ght 10
have free access to IL on all sides, it
will round out and develop its full pro-
portions, and il it does not actually at
tain it, will approximate its typical
the way. of course they must be sacri-
feed, but where they are not, leave
them and you will have n finer and moro
thrifty tree. IL a limo, rs is often the
case with the elm in our dry soil, ex-
tends beyond the rest, absorbing the
strength and destroying the symmetry
of the tree, it should be cut back while
yet small.
The soft maple often throws out
limbs that have no firm attachment 10
the body, and will sooner or later spIit
off; these should be removed while
small. The idea of cutting back tho
top of soft maple. or any other tree.
TO prevent it from becoming top heavy.
is fallacious; 1t relieves for the time but
makes it worse afterwards. III n soft
maple, as some OF them will do. breaks
bodily, and continues to do SO, IL ia bet
ter to remove it and plant another in its
place. Severe pruning lowers tho
vitality OF any ordinary tree. making il
less able to bear the drouth and heat
OF summer, and the cold of winter. and
leaving 1t an easy prey to borers and
other noxious insects.
AS strong man is able to resist dis
ease, so vigorous tree is able to resist
the attacks of its enemies, while a fec
BILE one succumbs.
So far as possible all limbs sbould bc
removed while small. II is rarely nee
essary TO cut large limb from n tree
that has been properly cared for.--Dr.
j. Z. Stet0drt.

with whatever was set before him: the
bread was too old, the soup too hot, the
milk too rich. In fact, he never came
to the table without grumbling abou:
something, and making every body un-
comfortable. He clattered his knife
and fork, and made faces. He talked
loudly and acted so much like a little

CARSON, April 11th.-The Board of Par

the application of Alfred Chart, who has
served three years of life sentence for kill
ing Ed. Kicker in Eureka. This action of
the Board occasions general surprise, as very
important evidence was presented to-day,
proving that Chartz did not have fair trial.
One of the chief grounds upon which his con-
viction was obtained was that Kicker was
unarmed. Conclusive proof was laid before
the Board that Ricker's pistol was in his
hand when he fell, after his aggressive and
threatening language had caused Chartz to
draw and fire. Governor Kinkead and JUS
tice Beatty favored a reopening of the case,
but were overruled by the three votes of JUS
tices Hawley and Belknap and the Attorney
General Mr.. Murphy. The friends of Chartz
