A GOLD MINE.
An Invention Which, If Found Useful,
 Will Be Worth Millions

An Invention Which, If Found Useful
 Will Be Worth Millions
 The latest invention of interest to Southern planters is a sheet-iron cov- ering for cotton bales. It has been pat ented, and while, of course, there are many difficulties and obstacles in the way of its practical application. it does not seem impossible that it shall eventu- ally be made satisfactory to all who raise and all who handle cotton. It is not unknown that many bales of cotton are burned each year in transit to the various markets of the country; that from two to four pounds of the product are in various ways lost from each bale, and that large amounts of insurance against fire are paid by the producer either directly or indirectly, and the idea of the inventor has been to save all this by providing covering which would not burn, would cover the entire bale, and be as cheap at the same time as the covering now in use. The rapid development of the iron industry and the consequent cheapness of the great est of all metals has enabled him. he says, to carry out his idea and without delay. As to the cost, the inventor claims that the largest iron manufact- urers estimate that 1t can readily be brought to an amount less than a dol lar bale, and it is further claimed that the plan is so feasible that probably most of the next cotton crop will be wrapped in iron; that any amount of capital is most anxious already to put the matter into practical operation. The scheme is magnificent one, and while rather suggestive of those of Colonel Mulberry Sellers is still not i'm possible. Certainly any practical plan for marketing the cotton crop without the annual loss, which is now so great, will be welcome by producers and given 8 fair trial.-RaLeigb (M O. NeoOs.

CONCERNING MOTHS.
How to Prevent Their Development and
 How to Destroy Them.

How to Prevent Their Development and How to Destroy Them.
 Prevention is the means most to be recommended for escaping annoyance from moths. The ordinary clothes moth may be overcome with various remedies, but when the carpet-beetle, or buffalo moth, as it is called, takes pos session of house, it is difficult to exter- minate.
 It is the part of prudence to brush and clean. furs and woolen garments and pack them away early in the spring be- fore the moths begin to fly and deposit eggs First brush and beat them lightly until sure that they are clean; then paste them up perfectly tight in stout brown paper bags, or sew them up securely in linen, remembering that the small, thin clothes-moth can enter through very slight opening. Be sure there are no holes or lmperfec- tions in the bags and the contents will be safe.
 Camphor gum, red cedar chips. to-
 
 substances will sometimes prevent moths from depositing eggs, and it is we'll to put something of the kind among garments packed away in trunks, chests or drawers. But this is not to be depended upon like sealing up securely. as described above.
 In badly infested house the buffalo moth preys upon furs and woolens, but it is especially troublesome on account of the damage it 2 Ses to carpets and the difficulty of protecting the latter. The buffalo grub eats along the edges of car pets, generally not going more than two feet from the wall, but will often follow a crevice in the flooring for yards, eating quite through the carpet above it. As an excellent preventive to carpets not infested, it has been recom- mended to seal up all cracks in the flooring (which afford hiding places for the larv@) with hot wax or tallow. Then lay down strips of gas-tar roofing paper, eighteen inches wide under the edges of the carpet. When there are many of these insects beneath a carpet there is probably no better way to de- stroy them than to apply benzine freely with brush or feather along all crev- ices of the flooring and around the base board. Use benzine with caution on account of its infiammability. This destroys the insect in whatever stage it may be.
 A remedy very successful for the com mon moth is to sprinkle water on the carpet wherever the moths are at work, then lay damp sheet over it and iron with hot iron. The steam penetrates the carpet and destroys the larve. To destroy them in closets where the larve are hidden away in cracks, fumigation with sulphur is the readiest method. Some housekeepers affirm that moths may be kept out of room by occasion ally burning sulphur in it. Stuffed fur niture is often protected by having un- dissolved carbolic acid packed inside it. It should be used with care. Pyrethrum, or Persian insect powder, applied thick ly under the edge of carpets is effica- cious against the ordinary moth, but totally fails to keep out the buffalo moth In fact the various remedies in use for moths are of little avail against this. Benzine, or kerosene, and tallow seem thus far the best remedies discovered.- ~. r. World.

Prof. E. Loomis finds that in the United States low-pressure area, with only one system of cyclone winds, ire quently has a diameter of sixteen hun- dred miles, and that cyclones over the Atlantic frequently have diameters of two thousand miles. Widespread areas of low barometer, having several centers of cyclonic action, may have diameter of six thousand miles, or may even form a belt extending nearly, if not entirely, round the globe between the parallels of forty deg. and fifty deg. north latitude. On the other hand, tropical cyclones are often only five hundred miles, or even less, in diameter In the United States, the Signal-Service records for thirteen years show that the average rate of progress of storms for the year is 28.4 miles per hour.-BoStoo Globe.

New Use for Baldheads
TBoston Journal.1

A novel use for baldheads is described. When the Crown Prince Frederick William made a sort of royal progress through united Germany at the close of the hostili- ties with France, each town vied with it's neighbor in presenting some novelty by way of honor to his Imperial Highness. One capelmeister conceived the idea of utilizing the ancient opera -goers, and upon the entrance of the Prince into the bdx, already decorated for him, certain men in the pit stood up, making the letters ot "Unser Fritz" in baldheads below.

FooD makes Blood and Blood makes Beauty. Improper digestion of food neces- sarily produces bad blood, resulting in a feeling of fullness in the stomach, acidity, heartburn, sick-headache, and other dys- peptic symptoms. A closely confined life causes indigestion, constipation, biliousness and loss of appetite. To remove these trou- bles there is no remedy equal to Prickly Ash Bitters.
