A correspondent writes as follows

A correspondent writes as follows:
II beg to forward you an easy. clean,
and certain method of eradicatlng
those lothsome insects from dwelling
houses. A few years ago my house
was infested with cockroaches Cor
Clocks as they are called here) and
Twas recommended to try cucumber
peeling as remedy. I accordingly,
Immediately before bedtime, strewed
the floor of those parts of the house
most infested with vermin with the
green peel, cut not very thin, from
the cucumber, and sat up half an hour
later than usual to watch the effect.
Before the expiration of that time the
floor where the peel lay was complete
ly covered with cockroaches, so much
so that the vegetable could not be
seen, so voraciously were they engaged
in sucking the poisonous moisture
from it. Iadopted the same plan the
following night, but my visitors were
think not more than fourth of the
previous night.
On the third night I did not dis
cover one but. anxious to ascertain
whether the house was quite clear OF
them, I examined the peel after I had
laid it down about halt an hour, and
perceived that it was covered with
myriads Of minute cockroaches, about
the size of flea. therefore allowed
the peel to remain till morning, and
from that moment I have not seen a
cockroach in the house. 1t is very
old building, and I can assure you
that the above remedy only requires
to be persevered in for three or four
nights to completely eradicate the
pest. Of course it should be fresh GU
cumber peel every night. Con.

lockwood, which is almost exclusive
ly used for wood engraving, is becom-
ing more and more scarce. The larg-
est wood comes from the countries
bordering on the Black Sea. The
quantity exported from Poti direct to
England is immense: besides this,
from 5000 to 1000 tons of the finest
quality, brought from Southern Russia
annually pass through Constantinople
An inferior and smaller kind of wood
supplied from the nelghborhood Sam
soun,i also shipped at Constantinople
to the extent of about ], 800 tons annu-
ally. With regard to the lockwood
forests of Turkey, the British Consul
at Cunstantinop!e reports that they
are nearly exhausted, and that very
little really good wood can be obtained
from them. In Russia, however,
where some little government care
has been bestowed upon forestry, a
considerable quantity OF choice wood
still exists; but even there it can only
be obtained at an ever-increasing cost,
as the forests near the sea have been
denuded of their best trees. The trade
is now entirely in English hands, al
though formerly Greek merchants eX-
clusively exported the wood. In the
province of Trebizonde the wood is
generally of an inferior quality never
theless, from 25 200 cwt. are annually
shipped, chiefly to the United King
dom.-The Garden.

Those young men of the practical
sort, who are in search of the price
less blessing of u good wife, Gods best
gift to man in this life, should ponder
we'll the words of DR.. Hammond, who
thinks the breakfast-table and the
forenoon the best time and place to
take an observation in that direction.
He thinks as a general rule, if Il young
woman looks well then, she is in good
health; if she dresses neatly, is full of
projects for mornings work, and
executes u reasonable number, she
possesses mental activity and bodily
energy. Beware of the young woman
who complains of being cold i'll the
morning, who looks sickly, who eats
little, who comes down late, who
languishes whole forenoon over Il
couple of letters to an absent sister or
schoolfellow. No matter how bright
and animated she may appear later
on, avoid her. Lead her MOTTO your
suburban villa; engage no matrimoni-
al apartments. She will not make a
good wife.

HOW Whales Are Killed.

The present system is an improve
ment on the old style of killing with
harpoon and lances. Il is more certain
and less dangerous. The steamer runs
up close, and, with heavy gun, a
bomb inches long by u inch in diam
eter, charged with dynamite, is fired
into the whale near the dorsal fin. The
bomb has d time fuse, and cXplodes,
producing almost instant death. 1t is
related as q curious fact that after the
whale has plunged downward, far into
the green water the dull, muflled ex-
plosion may be heard in calm weather.
If the passages through which the air
is exhaled are destroyed, the fish, it IS
claimed by its hunters, will rise immed-
lately to the surface; if not, and the
air is exhaled, he sinks to the bottom
and remains there. as does q human
BODY, until the formation Of the gases
brings him to the surface. In warm
weather he is expected to rise in four
days, in the cold water of winter it
may be ten days or more before he
comes to the surface. Meantime the
steamer does not wait for him. She is
off in pursuit of fresh game, and aims
to return about the time he is due above
water. When recovered marks on the
bomb suffice for Identification, if there
are opposing claims of ownership. 1t
is an unwritten law that any coasting
vessel finding dead whale adrift (and
they often drift many miles from where
they are shot) shall moor him, and not
ify the first whaling steamer that IS
met, or the nearest whaling station.
For this service it is usual to pay $25,
so that the small coasters plying up
and down the New England coast have
an incentive to keep a sharp lookout.
On notice, the steamer promptly heads
for the whale and lows him to the oil
works, often long and hard pull in
rough water with great seventy-foot
hulk dragging like so much dead weight
astern. But many whale supposed to
have received his quietus at the hands
of these dynamiters of the seas is never
heard from again. He may be driven
by gales far to sea, out of the track OF
coasting vessels. Or the bomb may
not have touched vital part, and be-
You'd the sensation of having pretty
sharp twinge in some part OF his sys-
tenn, the whale is none the worse for it.
Usually one or two bombs are fatal.
But one tough old whale took an allo-
pathic dose of eight this season, with
no more effect upon him than so many
bread pills. This is expensive for the
dynamiters, when bombs are costing
50 each. Herald.

Concerning the tragic death of
Jumbo the Scientific American says:
After career quite unparalleled in
elephantinc animals, Jumbo, the
greatest of his family, has departed.
The immense animal, the largest in
captivity, had just been exhibited at
st. Thomas, Ontario, on the 18th, and
was being led along the railway track
with Tom Thumb, the baby elephant,
to be loaded into their respective cars,
when heavy freight train, running
at the rate of forty miles an hour, bore
down upon them. AS soon as Jumbo
saw the train, he made rush for
Thumb, and grasping him in his trunk
threw him away across the tracks as
easily as if he had been kitten. Jum-
DO then tried to save himself, but it
was too late, and he was crushed to
death between the engine and the
cars on the siding. The poor beasts
devotion was unfortunately wasted,
for Tom Thumbs leg was broken, and
he had to be shot the following day.
The engine and several cars of the col
liding train were thrown from the
track.
Jumbo was about twenty-five years
old. His earliest appearance in po-
lite society was as baby elephant, at
the Jardin DIES Plantes in Paris, but,
when three years old, he was given
in exchange to the London Geological
Garden, where for almost nineteen
years, he was the children's most ia
vored pet. In 1882, Mr.. P. T. Barnum
purchased him for $1,000, but various
lawsuits increased the cost to $4,000
before the animals could be brought
from England. The news of the sale
caused great CONSERVATION among the
little people of the metropolis, and
even some of the older Britons. Rus
kin, included, entered a protest against
the transfer. Jumbo's huge body
weighed ~ tons, and he stood III
feet high. His skeleton will be pre-
served at the Smith sonian Institu-
ton and his hide at Tufts College.
Jumbo's name was known all over

"You newspapers fellows ought to
give the people who play progressive
euchre few sensible hints" said an
individual who proceeded to explain
what those hints should be. ''In the
first place all prizes should be done
away with. as there is no use denying
the fact that it makes gambling out of
what otherwise would be q very pleas
ant and innocent pastime. Another
reason for this is that where prizes
are given it makes it altogether too ex-
pensive for most people to give
parties, and no refreshments should
be served either. Let the players
meet at half past seven sharp and go
home at eleven or half past, and with
this arran ement they could meet
once week, and there would be no
hardship imposed on the entertainers.
