Winter Clothing.

Moth millers are already flying about
and making their homes in every nook
and corner where wool or fur offers
soft, inviting place. If the winter cloth
ing has not already been safely packed
away no time should be lost in putting
it beyond the reach of these silent de-
stroyers. When moths once get into
trunks and closets it is difficult to get
rid of them, and great care should be
used to keep them out. One source of
trouble in this direction is caused by
putting away clothing without having it
properly cleaned. Clothing which has
been worn is much more apt to become
moth eaten than new things. Every
garment which can be should be washed,
so that there will be no grease or dirt
about it. If winter coats and heavy
garments need cleaning, it is better to
have them cleaned before they are
packed away rather than when they
are taken ont in the fall.
Linen bags are considered excelk mt
to put things in. Newspapers, however,
are perhaps as good as anything. The
ink is said to help keep out moth. 1t is
wise plan to do up garments in sep
arate packages, using camphor or insect
powder in each, and pasting them so
that there will be no open places for
millers to creep in. Nice things may be
put in boxes and have paper pasted
over where the cover fits on. These
boxes and bundles should all be labeled
to prevent the necessity of opening diff
ferent ones when any article is needed.
Clothing thoroughly cleaned, brushed,
and aired, put up in this way will
usually cone out perfect in the
fall.
Furniture and carpets are also liable
to be injured during the hot season I'M
less great care is exercised. When fur
nitllre covers are used the housekeeper
will have to be very vigilant or moths
will work underneath and do much dam
age before they are discovered. Moth
ing but the greatest care. frequent brush
ing and dustin, will save carpets and
fi1rniture from being n0oth-eaten.

BRIEF FOREIGN NEWS.

The queen of England has become morose
again, and is living in great retirement at
Windsor. Her disposition has now taken a
singular turn. She insists upon having the
most extraordinary precautions taken for
her personal safety. Her majesty seems to
believe that it is as necessary for her tn be
excluded from supposed enemies as for the
car OF Russia, and appears at times to sup
pose that her subjects are restless and dis
contented, and should be removed as far as
possible from any approach to her person.
Her mental condition is that of an exceed
ingly irritable and gloomy person. For the
first time in her life, the queen the other
day refused to attend the prince of Wales
garden party.
England. Its imminence is due chiefly to
the cholera blockade against India. TT
seems to be no relief except from the United
States, because of the probability of an cpl
demic of Asiatic cholera, which will practi-
cally cut off the Indian supply of cereals.
There are many elements in this probable
breadstutfs panic which bode great ill to the
large European spectators in human TODD.
There has been a great deal of gossip,
says London Truth, in Scotland about the
extravagant precautions which were taken
to insure the strictest privacy during the
queens journey to Balmoral. Within an
hour of her majesty's arrival at the ca stle
she drove off with Princess Beatrice in a
pony carriage to Crathie to inspect the grave
of John Brown, and they remained for
more than half an hour in the kirkyard.
The Central News correspondent at Ber-
lin says the arrest of Krazewski, the Polish
author, and others, has led to the belief
that a conspiracy exists for the betrayal of
of secrets relative to the German military
organization. Twenty arrests were made at
Berlin and Dresden recently, of persons
supposed to be connected with this conspi-
racy. Other arrests will be made at Halle,
Hanover and Cologne.
The American leaders of the present Lon
don social season are Mrs. Ronald, Mrs.
Washington HILBERT and Mrs. Hicks-Lord.
The prince of Wales and other royal per-
sonages attended Mrs. Ronalds receptions.
Mrs. HILBERT recently enter tanned Lord
Wolseley and number of the nobility at a

Smooth, straight bangs are likely to
be in vogue during the summer, because
they give Juvenile effect to most faces.
and also on account of the ease with
which they are kept in order. When
arranged in short, curly locks they
necessitate the use of curling-irons,
which are both bothersome and injur-

postiches, or false fronts, which are
fastened on with fine hair-pins and silk
thread, while an invisible net keeps the

With these words he fastened onward,

Hardly had these words left her lips
before the sharp report of a rifle rang
through the forest; and, falling at her

Ralph Sanford's soul was sent before its

The savages jumped to their feet, but
the hunter and Swiftfoot dashed in

News from Washington 1ring the
summer months consists principally of
what newspaper men call padding
There is very little important matter to
be telegraphed but the quantity must be
maintained, and so the reporters give
what they hear among the departments
and on the street about persons who are
ofyery little account. AS an example
of this practice, one disguised editor
says: eve know of one man whose
name was known by the press dispatch
es throughout the nation FIVE or six
months, who all that time was sponging
his board off poor woman who kept
boarding house and has not paid her
yet" Another example for padding is
the daily report that President Arthur
sends bouquets to a lady friend in New
York, and of his daily life at the White
House or at the soldiers home-when
he rises, when he dimes, when he rides
and when he goes to bed. A reform in
the business would make journalism
more respectable.

GUYS Revenge.

A hunter was hurrying through forests
in the direction of small settlement on
the banks of a stream that mingled its
waters with the Mississippi. His age
might have been 80 years. His COM
panion was large dog.
In the settlement he was known by
the title of Guy Greenman.
He and his young wife dwelt little
apart from the settlement, about half a
mile from their nearest neighbors.
Many had thought that they ran con-
siderable risk from savages; but this
idea they did not entertain. The savages
had been at peace with the whites for q
long time, and they felt they had moth
ing to fear from them, They had fed
to this spot to escape the prosecutions of
white man, and they felt that the red
skins could be no worse than he.

HOW STATES ARE ROBBED.

Lady Relates Her Experience I'm Nevada
From the Sacramento (Cal) Record Union.
Mrs. Pratt, wife Of Superintendent B. n.
Pratt, who arrived home yesterday from
Sierra Valley, in addition to the mountain
air, had. while travelling in a stage between
Randolph and Truckee, the enjoyable and
impressive experience of capture by stage
robber. There were three men, two ladies',
and two children in the party besides the
driver, who were taking in the mountain
scenery and expatiating upon the climate,
when a masked man, decorated with a
double barreled shotgun, which was a. full
cock, and with sword bayonet attached az
the muzzle, q revolver and Ratchet, step
ped out from behind tree standing by the
track and demanded the driver to halt.
His persuasive command was oebyed, when
he told the driver to throw out the express
box and open it. The driver replied that
he couldn't, as it was chained down and
locked. This was too thin" for the party
just then in command, and with a show Of
compelling obedience in a summary man
ner, the driver got the box out. The robber
directed the inmates of the stage to get out
and stand on the other side Of the road,
which they did. The driver then, under
instructions, broke a large rock upon the
treasure box in trying to break it open, but
not succeeding, the robber threw his hatch
ct to him. and after considerable effort with
this he succeeded in gettingit open. The
robber then directed that he should bring
the box under tree by the roadside, which
he did, and then returned, under orders mi
nutely given, to the stage. The robbsr
then cody but cautiously laid down his gun
by the side of the box, and getting down
upon his knees took out what coin there
was, and went through the letters and pa
pers with the utmost GOODNESS and deliber-
alton, not appearing to be in the least
hurry. Coming across two Chinese checks,
he swore in foreign dialect, and said:
These checks can make no account"
Having distracted $272 in coin aud papers,
he kindly replaced in the box all the papers
and articles he did not want, and permitted
the driver to take it into custody again and
the passengers to resume their places in the
stage. He then said politely: Good even
ing to you all J" and ordered the driver 10
drive on, while he left the road and passed
over the hill, stopping to see that the stage
passed quietly along without instituting
measures looking to his apprehension.

there were great number of fine gold
watches in the party, besides several hun

Future Limit of Wheat Culture.

The New York Bulletin in an article
on the future limit of wheat says:
The German government has sent
over to this country one Of its eminent
economists, DIR. Max Scoring, OF the
University of Bonn, to make thorough
INQUIRY upon the field. This gentleman
has already traversed California, Oregon,
Washington Territory, Montana, and
parts of Dakota and Minnesota and has
formed his opinion in reference to the
main point upon which it appears ln-
formation was sought, namely, as to the
probable limit of the production OF
surplus wheat in all that vast area. His
investigations it would appear have led
him to the conclusion that in California
the production of wheat cannot be
pushed very much beyond the present
value, but in Oregon and Washington
there seems to be yet vast untouched
expanses of land that can produce wheat
abundantly, while in Montana the soil
is principally adapted to grazing; also in
Minnesota there is still vast areas of
wheat land not titled. His inquiries are
not vet concluded, but he has seen
enough to infer, broadly speaking, that
the United States is near the limit of ito
ability to food Europe with cheap wheat
and when this limit is practically reached
it will be only comparatively short
time before the increase of population
will require all the products of the soil
for home consumption. None of these
expressions, however, are accompanied
by any approximate figures, but it is a
warran table deduction that our present
large surplus is but temporary, factor
i'm our foreign commerce, and that
another decade will make this fact very
plain.

Did Hayes Have Authority.

1 Washington Special: An interesting case
involving the legality of one of President
Hayes's reinstatements of officers in the
army has just been before the court of
claims. Maj. Benjamin P. Runkle, who
was court martialed and cashiered during
the Grant regime for alleged completely in
the Freedmen's bank populations, was re.
stored to his position by Hayes. RunkIe
applied to Second Auditor Ferris for his
longevity pay. Last week Auditor Ferris
declined to make payment on the ground
that Hayes's action in restoring Runkle to
the army, by an executive order, was with
out authority of law and void of effect. Sec
rotary Folger has therefore ordered the
whole case to the court of claims. The de-
clsion will affect several other cases now
pending.
