blacksmith make strrups about y inches
long by J wide, with holes for inch bolt
near the ends Put these over the bars which
support the wooden break pin of any good
wheat drill, and put the g-inch iron bolts
through the holes of stirrup and that OF the

to fall so far backward that they simply

Exterminating Bcd.BugS.

In answer to an inquiry respecting
the determination of this loathsOme
pest, will state that having once moved
into house that was overrun by these
vcrmin, we immediately set to work
vigorously in applying coal oil and fine
salt, we'll mixed together, to closets,
base boards, ETC., and in n few weeks
the vermin were driven to parts un-
known, and we were never again troubled
with them; never had one in our bed
rooms, though living in a mining dis
trict where these intruders were thoaght
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 COM
PEELED to lodge in cabins on the plains,
and among the mountains where cleanli-
ness was virtue unknown, and where
from the abounding numbers of these
creeping, biting pests, there was no
sleep to my eyes or slumbcr to my eye
lids the whole night through, but have
never had one to intrude into my own
home. Especial care has of course
been observed to search trunks and all
luggage before being carried up stairs,
as well as unremitting vigilance in max
ing thorough application of the salt
and oil after the biennial house Gean-
ings, and ut other times if apprehensive
of any danger.
To any one who has not used this
compound, and wishes to avoid the
nuisance of bugs, my advice would be
to have the bedsteads thoroughly
washed, and when dry apply the mix
ture to every possible crevice with
painters small brush. Keep supply
of the mixture in Il wide-mouthed vessel
of glass or stone-ware, and well corked.
If used faithfully, this will drive the YER
min from the house and keep them ut
bay. The oil and salt do not injure
carpet, mating or floor if dropped upon
it, for the oil soon evapOrates, 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 nuisance to which /
had been q stranger, and having recon-
mended it to many who have proved its
complete success, l am desiriOus that
others may avail themselves of the same
means of relief.-CJr. Country Gentle

Life in the British Metropolis q Delu.
sion and q Snare.

The longer you live ia London the
more you find out, and the less you like
it. That, at all events, is the case until
you have been here so long that you are
hardened and ready for any kind of
crime. Some few of the annOyances to
which the trusting stranger is put he
himself is to blame for. He has placed
his trust in friends who told him it was
cheaper to live in London than in Chi
cago, or New York. He has been told
that he can hire rooms more cheaply in
England than in America. What is
worse, he believes the tale. lie has,
likewise, been taken in with what has
been told him about cheap restaurants,
respectful policemen and clean streets.
1t is all q swindle perpetrated with NAL
ice aforethought. If you go for rooms
anywhere within hailing distance of any
place you want to find, it costs quite as
much as in any part of the world that l
know of. If you want a couple of rooms
you can get them for three guineas
wcek-which is S15.75. They are up
two flights of stairs and have an in
grain carpet on the floor. The furni-
ture is about a century old, and some OF
it is very shaky on its legs. If it were
two centuries Oad and had no legs at all,
the price of the room would be $50

here. Somehow they seem to think
chairs and sofas were made to yensrasc

A Real Romance.

A rugged looking capitalist from the
wild clnyons of the Rocky Mountains,
named James Jones, is now the hero of
Il social sensation which, since yester-
dav morning. has produced no small
commotion among boarders at the Plant
ers' House, e,where he is stopping. He re-
tired early Sunday night, but found
himself too restless to sleep. During
the fi;ful attempts to slumber the idea
worked itself into his brain that it would
be unwise for him to return to the
9ulches of the Rockies without wife.
This idea troubled him to such an ex-
tent that he arose yesterday morning
at five O'Clock and started out in search
of a helpmlte Among the first per
sons he met, after leaving his room at
that early hoIr, wa, = chambermaid,
who goes by the name of "Dutch Mary"
In an offhand. businesS-like way pecu-
liar to men who hail from the mining
districts of the Far West, he told the
chambermaid that he was looking for a
bet,er-half, aud asked her if she wouldn't
become his bride.
"Och, no." replied Mary, 81 don't
want to have anything to do with you.
don't know you. How do you expect
me to know you? Uf course [ won't
marry you"
After saying this Mary turned on her
heel and went about her work. But
poor Jones took heart in the thought
that there were plenty of as pretty
chambermaids circulating around rs
ever were caught. He accordingly
continued his persistent search until he
ran across ''French Florence To
Florence he proposed bluntly, and she
bluntly refused, saying that ''she
wouldn't do anything of the kind if she
knew herself-and she thought she
did"
by this time the mOuntaineer began
to feel blue, as there were no other
chambermaids in sight. However. after
4 moments reflection he concluded to
''tackle" Dutch Mary again. He went
back TO her and duplicated his appeal,
when she rciented and said: 'Why,
yes, my dear, of course; l will marry
YOU Tomorrow" This answer made
the ardent lovers heart leap with Joy,
and was the cause of his returning to
the hotel after II short tour about the
city, with any amount of stuff, which he
laid at the feet of his intended rs pres
entS. Daring his tour about the city he
purchased her Sl15 silk dress, y 222
parasol, a gold watch and chain, and
two elegant gold rings, heavier than
those worn by any of the lady guests at
the Planters. This display OF Iiberality
astonished every one, as people looked
upon Jones as some common hack, pos
sessing neither friends nor money. 1t
is useless to say that the agony of
"French Florence" as she looked at
"Dutch Mary's" pile of linery, was al
most UNDESIRABLE.
'Well," said she, addressing Mary,
he asked me first"
"No, he didn't, NEITHER" retortcd
Mary. ale asked me, and I refused
him, and then he asked me again.
That IS how it comes"
When some of the ladies inquired of
Mary where she expected so make her
future home, she said: "Why, in the
Rocky Mountains, of course. That's
where he lives"
The wedding in grand style takes
place at the Planters to-day. Jones is
about forty years of are. and the bride
twenty-one.-St Louis Republican.

The French Crown Diamonds,

1t has been finally aud fully decided
that the crown diamonds are to be put
up at auction. 1t would seem quite
natural that France, having no longer
any crown, should no longer wish to
keep her crown jewels, but everybody is
not of this opinion. Some people would
have the Republic piously preserve all
the old clothes of the governments that
have been overturned, else it will re-
semble those parvenus who, falling into
an unexpected inheritance, speedily
convert everything into bank notes or
hard money. In reply to this argument
those in favor of the sale say that the
Republic has worn its mourning de-
cent length of time, and is willing to
leave the question of good manners to
the times when kings of France spat
mouthfuls of wine over their neighbors
at table, and French princesses smoked
the pipes of the palace body-guards.
There are those who more gravely crv
out about revolutionary vandalism.
They seem to forget that what is pro-
posed is only partial sale, and that all
the stones which are of an unique char
actcr will be retained. think it will be
to public advantage, this sale, for rs
present no one is ever allowed to look ut
them. What would be thought of a
person who kept forever q Rembrandt
or Titan in back cellar under lock
and keyP The French crown diamonds

up in a warehouse, where no one over
sees them, except two honest watchmen.
Every work of art and rich jewel has its
proper place. The place for y mayniti-
cent precious diamond is on the neck or
In the hair of handsome woman. Out.
side of the fevered atmosphere of balls
and operas it grows pale. 1t needs the
Drlliiancy OF the gas and candles to
show OFF its splendid fires. But France
can not afford to establish a monarchy
simply to find princesses who NAV wear
the Jewels, and so it is wise for her to
sell them. 1t is satisfactory to know
That the price Of these precious stones
Is to be well distributed. The sum
realized is to form capital, the income
OF which will be employed in the annual
purchase of statues and pictures. Apro-
pos OF this sale, | may state that terri
Bile thought has popped into the head of
journalistic acquaintance of mine. In
the confusing succession of French dy-
nasties and in the numerous changes in
office that have taken place, has the
treasure remained intact? Some wears
ago one of the Rothschilds sent to the
director of q provincial mint ar.immense
number of ingo:s in gold. Eighteen
months later he had the notion of re-
claiming this deposit. What was found
in their place? Lead skillfully gi!ded.
My friend is willing to bet me y good
dinner that on the day of the sale the
experts will discover that the "crown
diamonds" are paste, and that the Re-
gent, which is now valued al 81, 800. 900,
Is worth ~ more than n cotton night
