use the Insect powder in the ordinary
way, and the fly paper was too filthy
to be considered. In the midst Of bis

the fame of a lighted match held six
inches away, produced the required

flies by the million. He, therefore,
put out some bait for them every
morning. When they haye collected
in sufficient numbers. he gets his
powder and match, and the work Of
destruction Is sure and swift. No
guilty fly escapes the scorching OF
the wings. BY this means all the
flies in the store can be destroyed in
a few minutes, and their fayed re-

down, it will last twice as long as 1t
would without this operation.
A small piece OF salt pork boiled

flavor will be better than il nothing

A teaspoonful OF borax put in the

white garments that have been laid
away for two or three years.

night.

preparation. Wet the hair with the
tea before doing up, roll up and let

A Refining Influence.

1t is noticeable that the love of
flowers has become SO general a thing.
and is cultivated to such an extent
that money is now almost as freely
spent for them as fifty years ago it
was for the necessaries oflife They
have, in fact. become something like
one of the necessaries of life. Where,
one generation since, a single green
house furnished town and its out
laying provinces with all the exotics
they wished, now there will be doz
ems all doing dourishing business,
and one florist will make his income
by cultivating as a speciality one
flower alone, as the cyclamen or lily.
of-the valley or some rare new rose.
And the sale il constantly growing
larger, not only are flowers used
for weddings and christenings and
burials, and church services and great
public occasions, and all sorts OF
private ones, but business places have
begun to make themselves attractive
with great vases of them on desks or
counter or in the windows. With all
this demonstration of the love OF
flowers has Of late been made by the
poorer people who have no money to
spare on the dollhouse kind, although
with us this love is not yet cherished
to any such degree as that which we
see abroad among the same order Of
people, where in certain countries
every railway static. is garden,
and every house, however poor. has
its boxes of flowers outside the win
dows. In Holland, in the vessels
that traverse the long canals, every
cabin window also has its box of
flowers carefully attended to. When
we see flowers in Boxes doing as
much for the craft on our canals and
rivers we shall believe that we have
reached the last point in civilization
10 which flowers can carry us.
