A New Pest of Housekeepers.
New York Sun.
The buffalo bug of New England is
the latest pest to affiict the housekeep-
ers of that fair country. The buffalo
bug is a swell. lie never comes down
stairs to the dining room. The parlor
and boudoirs are good enough for him.
He revelS in bug poison, and keeps on
boring tiny and beautifully edged holes
in everything that you hold dear.
Moreover, he is ariStOcratic and artistic.
He loves bright things, and like the
maidens the poet speaks of is attracted
by glare. His first home was i'll the
Turkish rugs. and, strange to say, for
other folks besides New Englanders
have rugs, he hasn't popped up any
where but in New England.
