determination of Household Pests.

Professor c. '. Riley, the government en-
tOmologist, was recently called upon by
Good Housekeeping to make an award OF
prizes offered by that magazine for o. the
best buffalo bug extinguisher, - the besu
bed bug finisher, e, the best moth eradicator,
A. the best fy and fea extsrmnator Pro-
feSsor Riley found that the most satisfactory
remedies proposed for the bed bug were py-
rethrum, benzlne, naQhtha, gasoline and ker-
osene there being little II any choice be-
tween these substances il thoroughly applied
Few remedies were suggested Tor the buff
falo bug. One correspondent proposed q
combination OF sCeaming and pyrethrum
powder, which Professor Riley pronounced
effective and answering the purpose unQues-
tionably.
For flies and feas the prize was divided
among a numoer Of correspondents, most Of
whom favored the East India insect powder
or pyTethrum-
For clothes moths the award was divided
between two competitors, one OF whom rec
commended gasoline, the other insect powder
In conclusion Dr. Riley said: Let RIO
state that for the buffalo bug there is no easy
remedy. Experiences has taught that the
following method should be pursued: Take
up the carpets all over the house, spray them
with beuzine: spray the floors also with ben
zine. FIJI up the cracks either with plaster of
Paris or with cotton batting, saturat,ns them
with beuzire, and then after the odor has
evaporated, and ali has been thoroughly
aired, rslay the carpet, placing along the
borders Of the room strips of tarrad roofing
paper or paper soaked in boiled lard. Clothes
and carpets Inay De entirely freed from all
these pests by stea,nins or dry heat where
these methods sire practicable; while for the
bedbug corrosive sublimase carefully han
died and applied IS, perhaps, Of al things

fashionable Toilet Table Appointments.
Foreign Fsncies in Decoration.

Coreisn RANCHES IN Decoration.
Silver appointments for toilet tables are
most fashionable, from the candlesticks 70
the cold cream box. To match all these the
mirror frame is often silvered One Of the
prettlest and most uncommon frames recently
seen, was framed with an arrangement Of
entwlned twigs and clustering dr cones Of
small size, most gracefully and aEtisticaly
manipulated. The broad wooden frame was
painted over with silver solution; the twigs
and cones were fixed with pins knocked in
with 9 hammer and then silyered
The effect was very good A pretty
and popular English way Of draping toilet
table is to have rather full fall OF printed
linen OF any material OF artistic pattern,
with scarf Of soft silk draped over 1t in an
irregular way, higher On one side than the
other, with an end dropped low and spread
cut at the side The cloth on the top OF the
table is OF the fancy patterned material, with
the edge gathered up every now and then II
little pIGlts, 70 form feStooned valance. II
two harmonious coiors are thus arranged,
the effect is very good TIE bed spread usu-
ally corresponds by being OF the fancy linen,
with a fall OF the plain.
Coverlids are very popular, composed Of
cretonne or sateen, with a very deep band Of
plain sateen or velyeteen- Crsir backs TO
correspond are arranged scarf fashion, Of
the fancy material, with one end longer
than she other, and tied in the center with a
large bow Of the plain. This style is also
carried out in drawing ROOMS aud bou-
doris with tinsel scarves bent downwards
over the back of chair, with z very large
bow, composed q the full width, of efec-
tive pongee silk tied with watered sash rib
bon. Wide MORE sash ribbons are much
used for tying up and decorating room knick-
knacks. The last idea is to tie 4 large bow
at the top Of an ornamental birds cage, and
pet dogs basket, also on the top of the large
lamp shades, Of the tall square tables with
Two or three shelves
Another pretty foreign fency is the follow
ing mantel decorations. Three Joined widths
Of harmonizing soft silk, such as dark and
hight olive and salmon pink brown, old gold,
and cream; scarlet, ruby and pale blue, are
drawn along the mauteiboard, allowed to

Knew How to Board q Car.

''Seeing that girl yonGer getting on the
street car" said gentleman, recalls some
ching that hasn't been printed It happened
IL the days when Jake Sharp was bribing
common councils and legislatures, without
punishment, and--did you notice that the
girl, contrary 20 feminine custom, took hold
Of the forward rail when she got on the cara
Usually women insist on grabbing the other
raj, So that taev have no hold that enables
them 70 resist the motion Of the car, and thus
they are in danger Of being thrown back
upon the pavement That is a curious
illustration of womans insistence upon
certain freaks of awhwardueSs, and
it is one Of the worries OF the street
car people. Well, Jake Sharp was about to
get aboard one Of his own cars, when a girl
stepped up before him. She had not signaled
the driTer, and the car was going az fair
speed. Jake thought there vas going TO be
an accident with possibly a suit for damages
and veTdlc. that would take a thousand
dollars or 50 out Of his pocket. But the girl
neatly seized the correct rail- swung herself
on tbs platform easily, just like hJlie man,
and took a seat n q corner. She was a
shabbily clad work girl on her way home
from some factory. Jake was moved by adj
mIration of her exceptional feat. He sat
down opposite her, took out his wallet and
handed her 81 bill She w-s astonishe-d and
for a moment Indignant, but he explained
that II was a reward for her excellence IN
getting on a street car, and she kept the
money. New York Sun.
