actually upon the pest, will prepare 1t
for the undertaken. The difficulty is to
hit the target. You have to be an aw-
fully good wing shot. Bcnzine, or its
less dangerous brother, kerosene, are
the best remedies we have at our COM
mand. Saturate the floors and fill the
crevices with the infiammable, ill
smelling fluid, and the carpet-bugs get
discouraged. The only difficulty is
that you get discouraged, too. Few
people like to live in an atmosphere of
benzine. 1t may be wholesome and
cleansing. but it is not agreeable.
When the insurance agent calls, and
shifts and shifts, you realize more than
ever its disadvantages. Still, when
offered an alternative of carpet-bugs or
benzine. the weary housekeeper quickly
comes to q decision. As preventive
of attack, sixteen-inch strips of coal
tar paper, such as is used for roofing.
extended all around the room beneath
the carpet are effective. The odor,
however, is not altogether agreeable.
paper treated with carbolic acid-"car-
bolized paper"-ought also to be a
good preventive, and would be con-
venient for use in drawers as Innings, or
for bagging valuable woolens. All these
recipes, however. are only partially eff
fective. The buffalo pest rises superior
60 them all, and SCOTS viciously at the
paiustaking housekeeper. Science sits
calmly by and calls the bug hard Latin
names. but does nothing to drive it
from our homes. What do we pay sci

10 tell you how II Bind Of Hnpe In
Wisconsin celebrated their fourth of
July last summer.
You see they lived in a town
where there wasn't any W. G. I. u,
nor any other temperance society
and only q very few temperance ps,'-
plc. Ono Of these flew, was u young
la.ly e lcher who had stuffed this

June she was obliged u 90 away, SO
she told The Band they mighttake u

Alter their teacher was gone, the
children heard a great celebration

knew that i great deal vt beer and

it.
They couldn't ask their papas and
man,as what to do because some OF
their pal,as were saloon keepers ind
would sell the beer and wI,iskey
themselves, while many Of their
n,ai,las c.uldn't speak or write q
word III English.
81 they didn't ask any body at
all, the, just got together and voted
to have a table Of temperance drinks
at the grand celebration. The boys
built the table, and the girls made
some letters Of oak leaves woven to-
gather and tackled on boards, and
when the day came. there q a
pretty little booth in a consricuous
place on the icnic &, oands ,Irco,ated
will, flags and the words Band OF

In the ball room an eloquent speech was
delivered by Judge Hanschell, welcoming
the guests, dwelling on the connection
between Denmark and ST. Croix, and
wishing prosperity to the Mother Country,
o toast which was enthusiastically
responded to. At the supper table several
loyal and patriotic toasts were proposed
in neat speeches, and the whole entertain
ment passed off most creditable to the
Committee, who deserve the thanks Of the
Community for the completeness and good
taste of their arrangements.

We regret to have to record that at
Diamond g. Ruby on Saturday afternoon
u labourer named Robert Moore, was muir
dered by another named Stephen Andrew.
The motive seems to have been jealousy, and
the instrument of revenge was, as usual,
a knife, with which a terrible wound across
the throat was inflicted. This murder fol
lowing so close on the recent case at West
End has made a verY painful impression.
