THE HOME.
A Good Way to Get R'd Of Moths-House
hold Science.

Hcuse-cleaning comes, but moths
come first and last and all the time, and
any information regarding them end
the manner OF guarding against their de-
predaiions will, we are sure, be grale-
fully received. The parent moth Is a
iiny hite-winged sort Of miller that
fits about at all hours seeking some place
u Law her eggs. The larve are magl OF
like. smooih-bodied things, having SIX
teen feet. They live in cases formed Of
the substances they have DESTROYED, held
together with silk Of their own spinning
iu which they move about unseen. There
are very many so called moth preven-
tives. but none ofthem are effective for
the purpose Of destroying the germ or
egg OF the insect from which the Larvae
are hatched, and which alone do the
harm. Camphor will keep the parent
moth away when she comes to lay her
eggs, but the trouble begins with the
eggs, which are already in the garment
when it is put away for the summer.
There is but one method of getting nd
of these eggs, and that Is the way the
furrlers take. Provide yourself with
some tough green switches or rattans
about three feet long, spread your gar
ments upon table before you, take a
whip in each hand aud beat them long
and thoroughly until not an egg or lar.
ve can exist. When you have thorough.
whipped oIt your furs or woolon gar
ments pack them away in packages
perfectly tight. They can be pasted up
in paper bags or boxes. only so they are
moth. tight. 1t would be well to exam
me them once or taice during the sum-
mer # you have any fears that an egg
may have been left after your beating.
Whip them again and seal up same as
before.
For furniture and carpets an entirely
different method must be pursued. Buy
a few gallons of naphtha. Put your
chairs and sofas into a close room; satu-
rate them we with naphthd, then close
your door and loci. il, and be certain
that no one goes into it with a light OF
any kind. Nlphtha always evolves a
highly explosive gas, and the least
blaze inside the door would eau ,e a ter.
rible explosion. After two days 20 in
and open al the windows and doors and
expose the furniture 10 the air. Naphtha
not only kills the iarvR and eggs of the
moth, but clenses upholstery from finger
marks. The most delicate colofs will
no. be injured bv it. Use the same
means for getting nd of the moths and
carpet beetles in your carpets. Whip
the carpets all round the edges Of the
room, then saturdte thoroughly with
uaphtha ard leave 1.-TWO or three days;
then air. But always DcaI in mind that
no gas rust be lighted in ihat room. nor
tight taken into 1t. The naphtha is as
dangerous as guupOWdcr, and should
never be kept IN dwelling house, where

had lived in great retirement,and indeed
in much poverty until the recent mar
riage Of his son with an helress, were at

his absence. The mention Of Pierre
Bonaparte's name brings back hOste OF

MORE SNOW SLIDES.
Four Men Baried Beneath, Where They
Remained SIX Days.

From Wood River comes the news of
another fearful snow slide, by which four
men lost their lives. The slide occurred at
Rock Creek, which is about II miles from
Bellevue. Two brothers, Merritt and Ned
Kelly, Jas. Bone, who was known as ''Scotty,"
and man named Casey, were living in cab
in at that point, and from appearances three
of them were eating supper while the other
was outside and about twenty feet from the
cabin. As no one else lived in that vicinity
nothing was known Of the occurrence until
the following Thursday, when fifteen men
went up from Bellevue to recover the bodies,
which were found and brought INTO Bellevue
on Saturday last. Two of them were badly
bruised by the timbers of the cabin falling on
them, while the other two appeared as though
they had lived a short time but were finally
sufocated. Where the slide came down the
mountain was narrow path not over so feet
in width.
Several slides have occurred in the vicinity
of Galena, but with little damage, the meat
house Of the Gladiator mining company with
all their winter supply of meat, about 1900
pounds, was demolished by snow slide. The
snow is about six. feet deep at Galena, and
five at Ketchum.-Btackfoo Register.
