The Annual Moth War.

Now is the time of year when q
& great number OF women can find itin
their heart to declare chat house
keeping is a failure of the most dis
NAL kind. The cares that loom in
the spring are Ito them) more nu-
:merous than the flowers that bloom,
and well to the fore among the ex-
igencies of the season comes theneed
OF waging deadly war against the
merry little moth that is sure to get
in her fine work-and her eggs
wherever vigilance is relaxed for an
instant.
The knowing woman begins as
soon as the days grow warm to pack
up her goods, says the New York
World. Furs and clothing go first.
The former should be carefully shak-
en-, beaten with a rattan wand, then
combed with a rather coarse new
comb, and finally rubbed both ways
with a damp linen cloth. Then hang
in a sunny window for a few minutes,
and afterward wrap them in several
thicknesses of newspaper. The one
thing that a moth absolutely detests
is printers ink, so an Illustrated
sheet that is very inky, is especially
commended. Put your newspaper
package into q clean box, and paste
strips of thick brown paper along
the edges.
Clothing must be absolutely clean
when put away, lit can be washed
so much the better. If not, brush
and sponge it thoroughly, then wrap
and put up in the same manner as
the furs. You can surround the
shelves, drawers, and places where
these packages are stored with any
OF the awful-smelling ''extermina-
tors" which you may select to scat
ter through your house, and if there
are no moths inside those boxes
when you seal them up there won
any get there later.
Small rug and fur mats may be
similarly dealt with, but carpets and
hangings present greater difficulties.
1t is best to have the former thor

paper in the folds. Then wrap them
first in newspapers and then sew or
pin securely in stout unbleached mus
lin. A like treatment is recommend
ed for draperies. II you can devote
a room in your house to the storage
OF the goods which are especially
toothsome to moths, have it thor
oughly cleaned, the halls and cor
ners especially, and then use camphor-
ct plentifully all about. twill make
the place smell like morgue, or as if
the drainage was meet for the in
reference of the board ofhealth. II

the other apartments will probably
complain and move out. If your
husband has arranged to sleep in
the house during the summer he will
undoubtedly get room at the club
and sleep there, but the moths will

next door who borrows our servants?
This neighborly person, with turn
for economy, does not keep domes-
tic. Why should she do so? If she
has occasion to go out shopping in
the morning she simply orders the
parcels sent to the next door neigh
boris address, and holds herself free
for calling in the afternoon, The
servant next door answers the de-
livery boys ring and takes in the
goods. When the woman next door
returns, the neighbours servant an
swers the door-bell and hands out the
goods with springing step and a
heart greatful to Providence for the
many opportunities OF usefulness
placed within her reach.
The butcher boy is instructed to
leave the steak next door. The bak-
or leaves the bread next door. The
grocer leaves the kitchen supplies
next door. The woman next door
has occasion to go downtown and
leaves instructions next door to take
in her husband until her return. The
woman next door goes downtown
again and leaves the baby next door
until she gets back. The woman
next door instructs her callers to
wait next door in case she is out.
And enc day the servant coldly noti-
fies the mistress that she intends to
leave at the end of the month, and
she tells other people that she has
grown weary of doing the work for
two families for one wage, and that
she was in hourly fear that the won.
an next door would invite her to
wash the baby and help her with the
dishes, orhave the soiled clothes sent
over on washing days. The woman
next door hears with regret that the
servant next door has escaped, but
her step does not falter nor her heart
soften; she goes mercilessly upon her
way, and the neighbor engages two
servants, one for herself and one for
the woman next door, or moves, or
dies, and the,woman next door orders
Grape for the funeral and has the par
eel delivery at the house of mourning.
The woman. next door must go.

Morn onisn MuzzIed,

The election of a full Gentle
ticket last Monday in Salt Lax e
City by majorities from 400 to 1000,
sounds the death-knell Of the most
monstrous politlco-religlous fraud
Of modern times. The Mormons
have controlled the government Of
that place Just forty-three years; but
the long.hoped-for has come at last.
What great moral triumph. Any
reliable account of the influences
which produced such satisfactory
results must largely credit the sue
cess of the movement TO the per
sistent efforts Of the intelligent and
virtuous women of America, as con
trasted with the female serfs and
concubines who had voted to sus-
tain the system of serfdom and con
cubinage in Utah, until they were
deprived Of the ballot. The best
and brayest of the teachers, preach
ers and missionaries who have been
for years engaged in forming patri-
otto opinion against the institutions
of Utah have been women. They
have borne the burden and heat of
the day. Monday the female rel
atiyes Of the non-Mormons did their
part in winning the victory. They
were in the thick Of the fight, and,
remaining close to the polling-places
supplied refreshments to the anti
Mormon voters and kept up the en-.
thusiasm of the crowds. In the
published reports of the Salt Lake
City election sent forth to the
whole world, the women Of Ameri-
ca have the reward for their labors
which, probably, they value most
highly.

the Speaker all the power which he
has recently exercised over fllibus-
tiers. Another very important
change is the clause making pension
bills in order at all times. The Re-
publicans of the House after several
hours of discussion in caucus, APP
proved the rules as reported.
The United States Supreme Court
having decided that the anti-mor-
mon test oath clause of the Idaho
constitution is constitutional, it is
expected that the Senate committee
on territories will favorably report
the bill for Idaho's admission.
Senator Blair's educational bill
has been before the Senate this
week. OF course it will pass.
Senator Wolcott has introduced a
bill for the admission of New
Mexico.

That a fire is eNtinguished By the SUM-

fire looks little better than a heap d
white ashes under the powerful light

That there is economy in putting

sidering that whatever heat they rive
out is derived from the fire itself, and
that, being themselves utterly incom-
bustible, they contribute nothing to The
heat of the fire, there can be no econ0-
my in their use. Our method of using
fuel is, however, terribly wasteful; q
large percentage of combustible mat
ter, as well as heat, goes up the flew
and is wasted.
That pipes are burst by a sudden

bursting that has already been effected

That the bones are brittle in frosty
weather. No doubt more bones are
broken in the winter than in summer
but this is due to the slippery state Of
the roads that season, not to speak
of accidents on the ice, and not to any

That mirrors attract lightning and

pure illusion, arising from the fact
that mirrors reflect the lightning flash
