Storing rurs in summer.

when we put furs into storage for
the season, said q furrier recently,
"our first care is to bent them thorough.
~ with rattans to drive the dust out,
and get rid of the moth eggs that may
have been laid in them or been blown
into them from the air. This done,
They are hung on wire frames that dis
tend them, and put into closets that are
lined with tar paper. Moths cannot
stand the strong odor Of tar, and never
live long under its influence. Every
three or four weeks the furs are taken
from the closets and beaten with rat
tans; and SO, in the course of the sea-
son, every article has to he handled at
least o dozen times. In oldtimes cam
phor was used; but it has been discov-
cred that it had q tendency to detract
from their color and make them much
lighter in hue. I suppose there i.
something in the dyes used for sable
and other dark furs that camphor in
duences. Old women still use that
drug. however; and when You see
o sealskin sack or cloak or
dolman that shows streaks OF
gray or Q muddy yellow, You can
be sure that it has been kept in
camphor through the hot weather. The
whole secret Of keeping furs is to beat
all the dust out of them and keep them
in close closet impregnated with the
odor of tar. Another old preventive
was pepper, either cayenne or common
black, but this has been abandoned :
and some good housekeepers used to
keep their furs in tobacco cuttings.
have seen moths flourish in to bacco;
and, where I have seen insect powder
used. they have sometimes injured the
turs in some way, or have been totally
useless in guarding them from their
bitter foe.
Another desideratum in stroring
furs is strict cleanliness. We wash ali
the closets every spring with water and
common washing soda, and the latter
serves to destroy any moth-eggs that
may have got into the place. Thus
our closets are never invaded by the
moth; but should we show carelessness
for q single week the result would be
disastrous. Muhs, collars, and other
small articles We keepin boxes, pack
ing with them sufficient taxpayer Ia
keep ont the moths, and the shelves on
which they stand are always kept free
from dust. n-Po pular Science News.

When sAoula . oow 70 DR.,

There is such a thing as burning q
candle ct both ends. One may easily do
this in the dairy, and while the "good,
easy man" thinks he is making good
deal of light at the same cost, suddenly
his candle may go out. This kind Of
thing may so on when enc milks the
COWS up to the time Of calivng or near
it, and even encourages it by feeding it
for that end. But then it may not.
And it is the dairyman's business to
know all about il and take any general
rule for, his guide. There is no rule
without q multitude Of exceptions, and
these are as numerous as times, places
and circumstances; and as circum-
stances alter cases, so the reply to the
question we have put above depends
upon circumstances. There are COWS
that willno go dry, but will milk from
calf to calf. Is the dairyman to worry
himself and the COW in useless defiance
of her natural habit? By no means,
He must suit his case to the
circumstances, and reduce the milk
yield as much as possible by
milking once o day perhaps and COM
pensate the COW for her extra burden
by giving her more feed up to safe
limit. What this limit may be depends
wholly upon the ability of the COW to
BEAUTIFULLY digest and dispose Of the
food. And no one but the intelligent
owner can say what this limit may be
for it will vary as COWS vary, and no two
COWS are precisely alike. As long Us
the COW is in thriving condition, not los
ing flesh OF making fat, the limit is not
reached. ~ 4a
But as rule, to be contracted and
expanded judiciously and safely, it
might be said that COW should be dried
off six weeks before she is due to calve.
That up to that time she should be lib
orally fed in the usual manner; that
thenceforth her food should be cur
tailed or even changed to dry hay; and
if her condition is reduced somewhat so
much the better. It will make it safer
for her and the calf. Tho milking may
be done once day, or not wholly COM
pleted, leaving little in the udder.
We have even taken little milk sever.
al times day from acow in this con-
dition, with the effect of rapidly drying
the udder. But it is dangerous thing
and one to he avoided, to leave any CON
siderable quantity of milk in cows
udder at this time.-The Dairy.

Compilations differ very much with
the climate. The English have beyond
doubt, the most beautiful compilations
in the world. American girls possess
more beauty Of feature perhaps, but
their complexions are not nearly so fine.
As one goes farther south toward the
equator, one sees darker skins and dark
er hair and Dyes, for all these physical
characteristics have reference to c1imat-
ic influences. Upon two things the con-
dition of the skin iepends-oil and COL
oring matter. The skin of very old
man or woman, for want of oil, becomes
like wrinkled, dried-up parchment; an
Albino has scarce any coloring matter
in his hair eyes or complexion. To
finish will give you receipt for beau
tifying the complexion-the one
used by the danes of ancient
Rome. Probably il is familiar to many,
but there may be others who have never
read it. These ladies' make stiff paste
of rye -four, and covered their faces
with 1t on retiring. In the morning
they washed it off with milk Cthey never
used water), and applied . little powder
if it was deemed necessary. This, we
are told on good authority. is really the
best method of improving the complex
ion that has ever been used, either in
ancient or in modern times. The rye
-four is said to positively draw from the
skin any marks that may have fingered
on it. Moreover, it makes the complex
ion charmingly soft-an effect which
the milk helps to produce. Several
Partisan bellies adopted this plan, and
it is rumored that the Empress Eugene
tried it. At all events the ladies who
are known to have followed the receipt
of the Romans are also those who have
been celebrated for. their lovely skins.
In spite of the opinion of the clever
druggist, this is doubtless very efica-
cious in softening and bleaching the
skin. Toronto Globe. 80
