To Get Rid of Cock-Roaches.

4 correspondent writes as follows: ]
beg to forward you an easy, clean and Ger
tain method of eradicating these loathsome
insects from dwelling houses. A few years
ago my house was infested with cock
reaches (or ''clocks, as they are called
here), and | was recommended to try
cucumber peeliDg as Il reuledy. / accord
ingly, immediately before bedtime, strewed
the floor Of those parts OF the house most
infested with the vermin with the green
peel, cut not very min, cut from the
cucumber, and sat up half an hour later
than usual to watch the effect.
Before the expiration of that time the
floor where the peel lay was completely
covered with cock reaches, SO much So
that the vegetable could not be seen, so
voraciously were they engaged in sucking
the poisonous moisture from it. [ adopted
the same plan the following night, but my
visitors were not nearly SO numerous, |
should think not more than fourth of the
previous night.
On the third night did not discover
one, but, anxious TO ascertain whether the
house was quite clear of them, examined
the peel after | had laid it down about
half an hour, and perceived that it was
covered with myriads of minute cock
reaches, about the size of flea. | there
fore allowed the peel to remain till morn
ing, and from that moment | have not seen
cock roach in the house. 1t is very old
building, and | can assure you that the
above remedy only requires 20 be perse-
vered in for three or four nights to CON-
p!etely eradicate the pest. OF course it
should be fresh cucumber peel every night.

Why He Failed.

| Not every one knows how to run hotel
Or run an incubator. a correspondent
of the Prairie Farmer who has tried to do
the latter, thus describes his experience ::
Allow me to make an admission. | have
exchanged goodly pile of hard-earned,
shiney dollars for striped and vanished
incubator, filled its secret chambers with
expensive eggs, got up steam, regulated
the regulator, coddled the thermostat, Wig
ilantly regarded the rise and fall of the
mercury, and patiently endured the SCOTS
and gibes of unsympathetic neighbors, for
a period of twenty-one long days and
nights. l say have done all of the above
several things and, then, when darkness
o'erspread the land, aud unfeeling man
slept have done as f, lows Raked those
expensive eggs out Of the dark recesses of
that Internal machine, let them fall with a
dull squashy t t5s..i i2Sa ecket, stealthily
many low but dee Impressions, poured
them into it, and He'd the soil upon, and
jumped on it.
The failure was probably due to one of
two causes-a defective incu bator, of
which there are many on the market or
to lack of the patience, watchfulness,
and ''horse sense" required for so delicate
an operation as Matching eggs. We have
seen many thousands of thrifty chickens
and ducklings Matched in incubators; but
the result was secured only by unremitting
care and attention from start to finish and
the exercise of an intelligence due to keen
observation and much experimenting. Ar
tifcial incubation is a business which
must be learned. The mother-hen makes
a business of Matching, and so must man,
if he would succeed in it. For ordinary
farm chicken raising, the hen is still the
best incubator. -Eranasner

What Is the End of Life ?

The end of life is not to do good, al
though many of US think SO. 1t is not to
win souls, although I once thought SO.
The end of life is to do the will of God
That may be on the line of doing good or
winning souls, or it msy not. The maxi
mum achievement of any mans life after
it is over is to have done all the will of
God. No man or woman can have done
any more with life; no Luther, no Spur
geon, no Wesley, no Melancthon, can have
done any more with their lives; and q
dairy maid or scavenger can do as much.
Therefore, the sup enc principle upon
which we have to run our lives is to ad-
here, through good report or i'll, through
temptation and prosperity and. adversely,
to the will of God, wherever that may lead
US. 1t may take you away to China, or
you who are. going to Africa may have to
stay whereAeu are, you, who are going t@
be an evangelist may have to go into bust
ness, and you who are going into business
may have to become an evangelist. Bat
there is no happiness or success in life till
that principle is taken possession Of

A Washing Match.

Something quite new in industrial con-
tests took place lately at Geneva, Switzer-
land, in the shape of contest for a prize
between washerwomen. Geneva is quite
celebrated for it's laundresses, who wash
their clothes in the open air ana i'll the
water of the River Rhone and Lake Leman
It was quite natural, therefore, if there
was to washing match anywhere, for it
to be held in aeaeva. On the day ap-
pointed, an immense crowd lined the shore
of the lake, and the laundresses, having
rolled up their sleeves, began washing at
the word of command. They soaped ard
rubbed the clothes, and rinsed and wrung
them, and hung them up to dry, while the
crowd looked on in GREATNESS interest.
The first prize was won by Mdlle. Lee
febre, Partisan laundress, only, 10 years
old, who went through the process of
washing and wringing a garment, and
hanging it up to dry in exactly six min
utes. And as the prize took into consid-
Grafton the thoroughness of the work, as
well as its rapidity, the prize winner could
not put through her washing with a lick
and promise
After thecontest banquet was served
to which 500 of the laundresses and spec
tators sat down.
At Troy, N. Y, which has become
city of laundries, and to which clothes are
sent to be washed from all through New
York and New England, a proposition to
have a contest in washing clothes by hand
in the Hudson river would create no little
mirth. A washing match" at Troy, if
the work was conducted in the customary
way, would be largely contest between
machines. - Youths C0naDGni0,1.
