Moths in Woolen Clothing.

More than one hundred and fifty
years ago Reaumur. observing that
clothing moths never attacked the
woOl \eir on living animals. in
rrcU the natural Odor Of the
wool or Oy the oily matter in it was
distasteful to them. Consequently he
rubbed various garments with the
wool of fresh pelts and also wet other
garments with the water in which
wool had been washed. and found that
they were never attacked by moths.
Experiments with tobacco smoke and
the odors OF spirits OF turpentine
showed that both were equally de-
structive. but it was necessary to close
the rooms very tightly and keep the
fumes very dense in them for twenty
four hours to obtain satisfactory re-
suits. Chests OF cedar or sprigs OF
this tree are so disagreeable to them
that they will not deposit their eggs
where this OdOr is ut all strong; but
should the eggs be laid before the gar
ments are packed away the odor will
not prevent the Matching OF the eggs
nor the destructive work of the larvae
afterward. Clothing may also be pro-
tected from moths by packing it in
stout cotton or paper lbags made per-
fectly tight, but this must be done be-
fore the moths appear on the wing

How to Preserve Fence Posts.

Parker Earle, of Golden. Ill. in build.
ing fence around his young orchards.
several years ago, tried many plans for
preserving the posts. Having occasion
to remove the fence last winter he
noted the condition OF the posts as fol-
lows: Those set with no preparation
were decayed an inch or more in thick
ness; those coated with thick wash
of lime were better preserved. but were
quite seriously attacked by worms;
those posts coated with hot tar were as
perfectly sound as when put in the
ground; those painted with petroleum
and kerosene were equally as sound
and as good for setting. Let the posts
get thoroughly dry and then. with a
pan of cheap kerosene and a white
wash brush. give the lower third of the
post-the part to go into the ground

letting it soak in each time. Posts. so
treated. he says. will not be troubled
by worms or insects OF any kind. but
will resist decay to q remarkable de-
gree. This he finds to be the simplest.
easiest cheapest and best method Of
preservation.

Simple Relief tor Lung Troubles.

During visit to the home OF a most
estimable lady living on Indian river.

boon TO sufferers from lung or bron-
chial troubles. This lady having
heard that there was peculiar virtue
in pillow made from pine straw. anu
having none Of that material at hand,
made one from fine, soft, pine shaw
ings. and had the pleasure OF noting
immediate benefit. Soon all the men,

was noticed that all coughs. asthmatic
or bronchial troubles abated at once
after sleeping a few nights on these
pillows. An invalid suffering with
lung trouble derived much benefit
from sleeping upon a mattress made
from pine shavings. The material is

Silk Artificially Produced.

In the Paris Exhibition is exhibited
4 collodian product OF u remarkable
character. neither more nor less than
IN artificial silk. To manufacture it,
pyroxyine was first prepared by the
conversion OF a specially pure cellu-
lose. obtained from certain parts OF
young wood. and then dissolved in a
mixture OF ,hirty-eight parts of ether
and forty two Of alcohol. Through a
series OF concentric tubes the collodi0n
is forced out under pressure. in a
stream and then Immediately solidifies
BY contact with water the thread so
produced being wound off on a bobbin.
Next. this thread is denitrated By be-
ing soaked in weak nitric acid. which
renders it insolub.e in ether and al
cohol. and also non-explosive. The
threads are now dried ana used as or
binary silk; they are capable Of being
dyed. and are about three-quarters the
textile strength Of ordinary cocoon
silk. In appearance it is stated to ex-

THE STUART FAMILY.


Wherein Its Members Differ ed from the
Sterner Tudors.
The royal house Of Stuart were an
exceedingly disreputable set OF people.
but in their lives and their person.
they were, with all their crimes and
their vices. essentially sympathetic.
The life and death OF Mary. Queen oi
Scots. is one long poem. over-brim-
ming with the deepest pathos. Ro-
nance OF the mournfullest, but Of the
most fascinating kind, environs the
careers Of Charles l. and Of the old
and yOung Pretendcrs. Charles H.,

mental hold on the affections of the
English people. To them he is still

dcath-bed. murmured to his brother:

and sympathy can even be felt for
James H. himself. de:hroned and ban
ished and languishing into extinc-
tion at St Germans. These feel
ings OF sentiment went very
far indeed toward making the
triumph of the Stuart exhibition.
There are still-in q sentimental sense,
Of course-ardent partisans OF Mary,
Queen Of Scots. and Of the young
chevalier. Jacobites abound in the
very best society; but it is questiona-
BILE whether there yet linger any po-
litical adherents Of Henry VIII. or
Queen Elizabeth. The materials for a
Tudor exhibition are amazingly copi-
Gus and rich, but the display itself
must vindicate its claims to public
recognition less as an abstract and
brief chronicle of the Tudor monarchs
than as the reproduction of a splendid
ly picturesque and artistic epoch. One
most important step toward the latter
cOnsummatiOn will be made, as the
committee have hastened to announce,
by a special endeavor to bring togeth-
er as complete series as possible OF
the works of the llustriOus artist,
Hans Holbein, court painter to Henry

The Best Breed Of Fowls for the
Garmer.

The question of the best breed Of
fowls to be kept by the ordinary farm
er. who does not intend to keep them
for exhibition purposes or for the sup
ply Of pure-bred fancy stock. is one
deserving OF careful consideration.
Most farmers are content TO leave the
kind. quality and quantity Of the poul-
try to be kept on the farm to charcc.
and. as q result, the consequence il q
mongrel lot Of birds, neither useful or
ornamental; and the financial results
are no better.
This is not as it should be- for, right
ly managed and cared for. there Is in
the poultry = very substantial item ol
profit and one which. with very
little care and attention. can be
very greatly increased. The neces-
sity for this attention is strongly
shown in the fact that this country,
which might well supply the world
with eggs and poultry. Is actually at
the present time importing large
quantities Of eggs and poultry from
countries not half so well fitted by
cAture to produce them - Is this coua-

Sunset Cox and the Bear.

When Mrs. Cox and I wele at an inn
in Yellowstone Park they told us Of a
big bear that came down every even
ing just before sunset to eat the swill
that was thrown out to the hogs. The
hog pen was about a mile back of the
house in the woods, and this bear would
come down every day to eat swill and

any OF the little pigs As he did not
leave much food for them, perhaps
they never got fat enough for his taste.
While we were at dinner they told us
that the girl who was waiting on table
had met the bear in the path near the
pen. She was carrying q basket Of
clothes from the wash, and had the
clothes on her head. She said she
was not afraid, but / suppose she was
a modest girl. for she dropped her
clothes and ran. Mrs. Cox and l ha0

enough we met him in the woods-a
great big fellow. He gave side

were about to runaway. We were
about twenty yards away from him.
and quickened our pace to advance on
him. He suddenly changed his mind
about running. and we changed our
minds also. He turned toward us and

also to leave a surplus for oreSpo-tation.
This will continue Ia be tho case. and
the Importation will grow larger unless
farmers give attention TO the breeding
Of better stock.
The came principles shou,. gov

The requisites IN breed of fowls for
the farm are. first. egg producing ca
pacity; next. quick maturity OF the
young fowls; and lastly. ability to With
stand the climate with reasonably good
care and moderate keep. We have
had experience with many breeds OF
fowls. and. in our judgment. no one
breed combines so many OF the good
qualities we have named as the
Plymouth Rocks. They are large
fowls. but yet not too unwieldiy to
ramble about and scratch for a great
part OF their food on the farm. They
produce a large quantity OF fine eggs.
rs they lay early and late. and they
are good mothers. and can be relied
upon to bring of two or three broods
in the season. The young chicks ere
strong and hardy. and quickly reach
maturity; and as they are a good sire.
they always command . fair price in
the market-whether rs brOilers or
roastcrs. They seem to readily adapt
themselves to changes of climate.
and in the Southern States make
themselves perfectly happy and cen.
tented. The frosts seldom trouble
them as they have only small combs
which are not so susceptible to be
frozen as those of some other breeds.
Although large fowls. they are not
large eaters. but will be content with
. small feed Of grain, and then RAM
BILE off i'm search Of insects and seed.
Another quality they possess. is, that
they are generally content to lay some-
where about where they are desired.
and do not ramble OF into the woods
and lay their eggs where they can not
be found. All things considered. wo
are OF the opinion that the farmer who
commences to keep flock OF Plymouth
Rocks will not have cause to regret it
at the years end--Southern Planter.
