very Justly condemns lounging, which a large

posture, whether sleeping or walking To sit

STORING FURs IN SUMMER-S.When we mt
furs into storage for the season." said frlrrier
recently, Our first care is TO beat them thor
0ughly with rattans to drive the dust cut. and
get rld nj the moth eggs that NAV have been
laid in them or been blown into them from the
air. This done they are hung on wire frames
that distend them. and Put into closets that are
lined with tar paper. Moths cannot stand the
strong OdOr Of tar and never live long under it's
Influence. Every three or four weeks the turs
are taken from tie closets and beaten with rat
tars; and so. in the course of the season. every
article has To be handled at least dozen times
In OldtmeS CamphOr was used: nut it has been
discovered that IL had tendency to detract
fFcn! their color and make them much lighter in
nut d suppose tntfe lS something in the dyes
used for sable and other dark furs that camphor
Influences. Old women still use that drug how
ever: and When YOU see asealskin sack or cloak or
GOlnan that shows streaks of gray or muddy
yellow. you can be sure that il has been kept in
oamphor through the hot weather. The whole
secret of keeping furs is to beat all the dust out
OF them and then keep them In close closet
inpTegnated with the odOr of tar. Another old
preventive was pepper, either cayenne or COM
mon black. but this has been abandoned: and
some good housekeepers used to keep their
furs IN tobacco cuttings. / have seen moths
flourish in tobacco: and. where have seen in
sect powders used, they have sometimes Injured
the tGrs in some way, or have been totally use
less IN guarding them from their bitter foe
Another desideratum in storing turs Is strict
Cleanliness. We wash all the closets every
spring with water and common washing soda
and the latter serves to destroy any moth-egps
that may haye got into the place. Thus our
closets are never invaded by the moth; but
should we show carelessuesS for q single week
the result would be disastrous Mulfs collars
and other small articles We keep in boxes pack
ing with them sufficient tar-paper to keep out
the moths and the shelves on which they stand
are always kept free from dust."-Pop,i!sr
