MINNESOTA.

"Messmate," Minneapolis Mimi, writes as
follows: Preparations for the coming National
Encampment are making steady progress, and
by the time set for the gathering of the hosts
it is hoped that everything will be in perfect
order The committees having the work in
charge are hard at work, and seem to realize
the herculean task before them. No city in the
United States better suited for such gathering
could have been selected than Minneapolis.
Ample accommodations for the army, however
large, can be furnished convenient to the CEN
ter of the city. The hotel facilities are unsur-
passed, with private boarding houses without
number. The air is pure, the water is health
full, the streets and walks are broad and lined
with trees giving the city of Minneapolis
more the appearance of one grand park than
any city in the country. st. Paul SO many
years the outpost of civilization, is but ten miles
from here Within the recollection of every
soldier of the war the whole Northwest was
supplied from St Paul. 1t is but day ride
to the Red River of the North. and but day

sands OF our comrades have sons and brothers,
sisters or cousins living between these points,

them an opportunity, and to many the last one

DESTROYING Moths.

The destruction by moths is one OF
the greatest vexations which careful
house-keepers have to contend with,
and their depredations are not to be
remedied after they have once made in
roads. Houses heated by furnaces are
especially predisposed to have moths,
but every house-keeper must be on the
watch for them, for, from the time that
the windows begin to be lett open the
trouble begins. Heavy carpets some7
times do not require taking up every
year, unless in constant use. Take out
the tacks from these. fold the carpets
back, wash the floor in strong suds with
o tea-spoonful of borax dissolved in
them. Dash with insect powder or lay
with tobacco leaves along the edge and
retack. All moths can be kept away
and the eggs destroyed by this means.
Ingram and other carpets, after shak-
ing. are frightened by sprinkling a
pound Of salt over the surface and
sweeping carefully and thoroughly. 1t
Is also an excellent plan to wipe off the
carpet with borax water, using thick
flannel cloth wrung tightly. taking care
not to wet it, but only to dampen. Open
the windows and dry the carpet before
replacing the furniture. Other woolens,
including blankets and wearing apparel,
must be beaten and brushed and folded
smoothly. Be careful to clean every
grease spot wish ammonia and water,
not too strong, and q dark wooden cloth.
Tie pieces Of camphor into little bundles
and put one in each article. Wrap the
article in newspaper, as printers ink is
a great preventative of moths, and sew
them up in strong sheeting bags, la
beled, so that it will not be necessary
to open them during the summer except
for use. This is a good way for those
who do not possess cedar boxes, and
the articles need have no other CAFE ii
every spot is treated as directed and the
garments are not left hanging in the
closet too long before putting away for

How to Set Rid Of Beggars.

There are more ways of killing a dog

and there are several ways. of getting

cant applies to Gilhooly for aid, that
philosopher cheerfulty responds:

for a dollarpn
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
the mendicant replies that he has not.
IN sorry, but I've not got anything
smaller. / am always happy to help
the deserving poor. =
In case the beggar says that he has
got change for . dollar, Gilhooly bowls
out:
Police! Police and denounces the
unfortunate man as an impestor for
begging when be has got his pockets
full OF money, which he must have
stolen from someSbdy. whereupon the
