DISCRIMINATING Bed Bugs.


In answer to an inquiry in your valuable
paper (which was sent to a neighbor, and
have forgotten the inquirer's initials) re-
specting the determination of this loathsome
pest, will state that having once moved in
to house (just vacated by noted house
keeper that was overrun by these vermin,
we Immediately set to work vigorously in ap-
plying coal oil and fine salt, well mixed to-
gether, to closets, base boards, &C., and in
few weeks the vermin were driven to parts
unknown, and we were never again troubled
with them; never had one in our bedrooms
though living in a mining district where
these intruders were thought to be inevitable
adjuncts to sleeping apartments. | have
travelled much through mining and tanning
districts, sojourning therein for weeks and
months together, and have been compelled
to lodge in cabins on the plains, and among
the mountains where cleanliness was a vir-
tue unknown, and where from the abound
ing numbers of these creeping, biting pests,
there was no sleep to my eyes or slumber to
my eyelids the whole night through, but l
have never had one intrude into my own
home. Especial care has of course been OBJ
served to search trunks and all luggage be-
fore being carried up stairs, as well as unre-
hitting vigilance in making thorough APP
plication of the salt and oil after the bienni-
al house-cleanings, and at other times if APP
prehensive of any danger.
To any one who has not used this COM
pound, and wishes to avoid the nuisance OF
bugs, my advice would be to have the bed
steads thoroughly washed, and when dry APP
ply the mixture to every possible crevice
with painters small brush. Keep a sup
ply of the mixture in wide mouthed vessel
of glass or stone ware, and well corked If
used faithfully, this will drive the yermin
from the house and keep them at bay. The
oil and salt do not injure carpet, mating or
floor if dropped upon it, for the oil soon
eyaporates, and the salt can be swept up.
This was an original idea of my own more
than twenty years ago, when driven almost
to desperation by a nuisance to which had
been stranger, and having recommended it
to many who have proved its complete sue
cess, am DESTROYS that others may avail
themselves of the same means OF relief.

Cleaning the poor-Yard.


In the best regulated fam lilies there will
be an accumulation of more or less rubbish
In the yard and grounds about the house.
The early days of Spring invite us out to
survey the situation, and with light heart
inspired by the bright sunshine, we set our
selves at work to bring beauty out OF this
incongruous mass.
Here in this side next the barn-yard, we
find the skeletons of three cows heads, relics
of the winters butchering, which our good
Rover has brought here for his own con-
venience. These we have not strength to
bury, so we will carry them to the back door,
near the cistern or well, and they shall be the
base of our rubbish mound. Then we will
look for some knotty pieces OF wood that,
being too tough to split and too long for the
stove. can serve as stratum in this thing
of beauty which surely is growing. Then
with broken rocks and bricks we will shape
it into proper dimensions fitting in among
the rocks every old fruit and oyster can,
broken crock or tin pan. In the center on
the top, we will have a fiat piece of rock
upon which we will place that cracked
earthern crock or an old rusty pail painted
brown. Now, with wheelbarrow load or
two Of good earth we will fill all these cans,
crooks and pans, and plant in them some
of the hardy vines that are growing i'll the
yard, such as money-wort, ground Ivy ana
the like. As the spring advances, and all
danger of frost is past, we will plant some
of the less hardy vines and seeds, and as a
browning beauty we will fill the old tin pail
with brilliant geraniums or coleus. Our
mound being in close proximity to both well
and cistern is well watered, and is beautiful
both in green ness and color. How cheer
ing to the working-woman are glimpses OF
beauty even at the back door, and how much
better than rubbishy and disorderly back
yard.
Every man who has an eye 10 the 2sthet-
les of life will see that his wood is cut and
snugly piled in winter, and every woman
who is worthy to be the wife of such man
will see that neat and inviting door-yard
shall be an important item 10 the surround
ings of farmers home. Then rake up the
chips; Sisters, few handfulls of them will
cook your dinner. The beef and other bones
make excellent fuel and when burnt and
broken are much relished by pigs and poul-
try. What you can't use any other way put
in the rubbish mound and don't throw any
thing into the street to frighten horses.
I have made nice plant frames and hang
ing baskets from old hoopskirt wires, very
respectable garden vase from an old stump,
and beautiful jardiniere from half of nail
keg or barrel placed upon round stick OF
wood with evenly sawed ends, decorated with
grape vines or roots. A hoop running over
the center makes support for delicate vines,
and when filled with choice plants is just as
pretty as SIS vase.
Let us beautify our homes with such ma
terials as we have, remembering that neat
ness and order are of first importance.

Jenny Lind's Courtship.
Century for October.


~ am Quaker, rs you know" Philadel
phian recently observed to me, "and 1t 10 70
ported, that shortly before Jenny Llnd's visit
to our city, m aged lady arose in one Of on,
meetings and said that she had heard that
Jane Lyon, . very wicked woman, was on
her way to this country to sing and she
hoped that none Of the young people would
DO drawn away to hear her. Nevertheless an
uncle took me and my brother to the Sa,ur.
day matinee. We had seats In the balcony
and 90 near the stage that we could In way
see behind the scenes. Early in the enter.
tainnent Jenny Lind sang Home, Sweet
Home aud the audience was beside itself.
Among the members Of her company was
her future husband, Otto Goldschmidt. He
was to the audience simply sn unknown
pianist, and to be obliged to listen TO any
thing blu. the voice Of Jenny Lind was pro-
voking. Well, the man played, aud from
where we sat we could see Jenny Lind be-
hind the curtain listening most iutently.
When he had finished the audience seemed
in nowise disposed to applaud; but Jenny
Lind began to clap her hands vigorously, sb-
serving which, we boys REINFORCED her, and
observing her face light up-I can see the
loveIight on II yet-we clapped furiously
until the applause spread through the audi
ence. When be had flushed playing sec
ond time, my brother and I set the ball In
melton, and TIE applause was great enough
10 satisfy even the aance of Goldschmidt."

How Massachusetts, Man Was Robbed oi
~ ma ClesAinE. Tsr1s nd sewsiry-4
Exchange.


Mr.. John J.. GILES, who belongs in sub
urban town Ia Massachusetts, formerly had
In his employ, - domestic, one Mary
Allen. II appears that she left bis employ,
but still In measure maintained bis conf
dencs. He received letter from this city
supporting TO come from her, about two
wssks age, inviting him to this city. He
accepted the Invitation, and while 1t house
with the woman, do1ed his trowsers, - hs
says, to have them mended. He states that
while be was lying In bed, two men entered
the house and stole his pantaloons, watch,
chain and pockstbook. He considered the
matter merely ~ robbery, and not caring
10 be brought before the public, he failed to
notify the city police. The thieves, how
ever bad the trousers end the other property
photographed, and forwarded one Of the
pictures u Mr.. Gilles' son In the Bay State.
AlcommunicatioL accompanied the photo
graph, In which the thieves offered TO hush
mp the matter for $500, snd desired, II salts
factory terms could be agreed to, that per-
sonal should appear In the Boston Herald.
The ssns came Immediately to this city, and
placed the matter In the hands Of Counselor
Charles X. German, who advised them to
take no notice Of the thieves, but TO consult
Police Detective Parker. The sons and the
thieves corrssponded, and the result was
that the parties met In the railway passen-
ger station, on Exchange Place, about 1880
s'e,oek p. u, "wednesday. Giles sons
held quito m animated conversation with
tho two men who had communicated with
them, which was overheard by Detective
Parker. Having heard enough to satisfy
himself that he had good case, Detective
Parker arrested the blackmailers. They
resisted arrest 1t 6rst but finally consented
70 70 TO police headquarters One Of them
rem arked, "that II he was worth as much
money . Giles he would have paid such =
small amount - $500 without any trouble. !"
"You are just the kind Of people," remarked
Detective Parker, "that the community
should be rid Of, because no man Is safe"
At the city hall they were searched, and the
watch Of Mr.. GILES was found In the posses
sion Of one Of them, and the balance of the
property they said was in the hands Of their
lawyer. They gave their names after some
hesitaney, ~ Geo. Good and Melville B.
Bodwell. The former 10 large, dark COM
plsxiopsd looking man, about Is years Of
age, but the latter ID slightly built and dark
csmplexionsd. Both are well dressed. In
the Justice Court yesterday the prisoners
were arrained for the larceny Of Giles
watch and chain and pleaded not guilty.
Their cases will be heard the 18th inst. A
case Of blacknail will also be preferred
against them. ! ! -------L.
