A Household Pest.

Those who have not already done so will
now be taking their annual precautions
against bugs in beds or seeking to get rid OF
them DR.. C. V. Riley, government ento-
mologist, tells in Good Housekeeping the best
methods of accomplishing this work, and a
part of his timely advice is here given as OF
great value to housewives:
Benzine must be our strongest weapon.
Finely sprayed with hand atomizer, it will
penetrate the minutest cracks and is sure
death to the insect in all its stages, including
the egg. 1t is a certain remedy, and used
thoroughly, will destroy every bug in a
house. Kerosene is almost as good and little
more lasting in its effects. Many preventives
have been advised, but none are permanent.
One of the best of formulas for substance
with which to paint the cracks in a bedstead
or the wall is one ounce corrosive subHmate,
half pint of alcohol and one-quarter pint
spirits Of turpentine.
There are always beginners and mex
perienced persons to be informed, otherwise
it would be supererogation to advise the
housewife to pay particular attention to the
belongings of new servants and even to the
baggage of refined and clearly guests who
come from the south or west, and have
stopped on the way at hotels. Indeed, I feel
that little of q practical nature can be writ
ten of this insect that experienced house
keepers will not know already. 1t may not
be out of place, however, to say that the bed
bug has been found in the woods under the
bark Of trees, and that, therefore, in country
houses in certain localities the occasional
presence of the bugs is not necessarily 8
mark of uncleanliness.
1t may be well to state that there exist
other allied bugs which possess much tbs
same order, and whose bite is even more
severe than that of the true bedbug. The
blood sucking conenose is one of these 1t is
found in beds, occasionally as far north a.
New Jersey and Illinois, but does not habit
ually breed in such localities Its colors are
black and red.

The Old Time Concert.

The largest audience of the season,
with one exception, greeted the Old
Time concert singers Thursday eve.
The entertainment was enjoyed by all
and was an unqualified success. TIE
costumes of the singers were well made
up and were true to history. 1t is I'M
possible to mention all the participants
in the program separately. All did ex-
cellently and the choruses were well
rendered. The solos of Mrs. F. a.
White, Miss Sarah BODell. Mrs II. j.
Hodge. MI. Sharr and Mr.. C.. d. Barnes
as well as the trios and quartettes were
loudly encored. The ladies of the NJ.

be congratulated upon their success,
not only in netting a neat sum of
money but in giving an evening of
pleasure to so large an audience.

SUNDAY School Lesson.

International series. Lesson fol
February 10th, 1859, The Fierce De-
mOniac, Mark V, 1-20. Questions on
the lesson to be answered and sugges-
tions discussed primarily by the mem
bers of the Bible class in the Lutheran
Sabbath school of Abilene and by all
others who desire.
|. Does the evil spirit recognized christian:
>. Can we distinguish between the evil i'm
pulses of our own natures and the suggestions
of an evil spirit?
3. Does evil spirits affect our accountability
for sin?
4. Which is the easier to resist, evil without
OF within?
D. Does the devil make some people insane!
e. Is all power of spirit over matter from
God?
Lesson suggestions: Ignorant people mix up
spiritualism with spirituality. The demOniac
illustrates the result of sin as seen in those
who surrender to the vices of life. The drunk
ard coming down to the tremens; the man
given up to lust, lOOsing his reason and hating
himself. The good by its very goodness tor
ments the evil The evil spirits choose herd
of swine, that which is most filthy and lowest,
as evil men at last choose that which is most
degrading. The evil spirits wanted to be let
alone. The saloon interest only wants to be
ct alone. Touch any sin in the community
and instantly you are greeted as Jesus was
greeted by this demon.
