HOW 10 Get Ria OF household Pc.

In his fourth lecture before the
Lowell Institute recently, Professor
Riley discussed the ever timely sub
ject of household pests. The treat
ment OF the subject was practical,
and the remedies given for each
particular pests are worth noting by
the careful housewife. For certain
OF the commoner pests, such as the
bed-bug, the carpet-beetle, and the
clothes-moth, benzine, applied in a
fine spray by means OF hand atom
izer, was stated TO be the best remedy,
rs in most cases it destroys the insect
in all stages, including the egg. In
using benZine, however, care must be
taken that no fire or artificial light
is in the room at the same time, the
yapOr OF benZine being highly eXplo-
sivc. For cockrOaches, bristle-tails,
or tish-moths and fleas, the lecturer
recommended liberal use of pyre-
thrum powder, in the form OF either
Persian or Dalmatian powder or
Buhach. F,eas, he said, are general
~ introduced into houses by dogs or
cats, and the presence Of bed-bugs is
not always a sign OF uncleanliness, as
they have been found under the bark
OF trees in the woods, and in country
houses may sometimes be traced to
this source. Keeping premises clean
and dry was said to be in general
good preventive Of insect pests. The
common hOuse-fy, with its compli
Gated mouth and its stereoscOpic eyes
with 1000 facets, was next discussed,
and the lecturer then passed to an
interesting account of the mosquito.
The eggs Of this insect are laid in the
water, and the larva, when Matched,
passes through several molts in the
same clement, the perfect mosquito
finally breaking out from the pupal
skin and flying away on her blood
thirsty mission. The female mosquito
is the form which stings, the male
seldom leaving the swamp where he
dwells, and contenting himself with
vegetable juices. In dealing with
the mosquito as Il household pest,
good pyrcthrum powder is probably
the best preventive OF its annOyances.
Moistened and made into little cones.
allowed to dry and then burned in a
closed chamber, this POWDER will
either stupefy or kill, and is enc OF
the best means OF freeing chambers
from mosquitoes. Touching upon a
theory advanced some years ago
that mosquitoes by their stings inOc-
ulate the body with malarial poison
the lecturer stated that in his judg
ment there was no connection be-
tween the two, though the same
conditions which cause malaria are
apt to breed mosquitoes. In the
case Of elephantiasis, however, Il
disease prevalent in tropical coun-
tries, and due to minute organism
known as illaria, it has been well
established that the filara in its life
development must needs Iass through
the mosquito as an intermediary
host. Boston Advertiser

al Kin IrOYe ~

A citizen who lives on corner,
which is popular res' TT for all the
boys of the neighborhood, is engaged
throughout the warm months OF the
year In a lively effort to protect his
property from injury. Being unwill-
ing to resort to grave measures Of the
law, he contents himself with occa-
sionally confiScating a ball when the
frequent and entirely unceremonious
incursions Of the boys in pursuit of it
threaten to ruin his garden. When
wild shots at the duck on the rock"
demolish his fence pickets and rem
der il necessary for him to carefully
recOnnoiter before he steps out OF
doors, he sometimes removes the
"rock" after the boys have placed it
in the alley for safe-keeping.
These little devices are not very
cffectual, however. The other day,
perceiving a boy engaged in chopping
up the sidewalk with an Ak, he went
out and demonstrated with him.

Magn fcent Gathering.
For days the comrades gathered from
every part OF the Union. Great cities,
small towns, little hamlets and solitary
farmhouses sent their quotas, greater
or smaller, and the result was an at
tendance that no man could closely es-
innate, and one certainly SURPRISING
any ever before seen in Washington.
The trains arrived il so many sections
as to constitute an intricate problem in
railroad management, and every ira n
was laden with comrades and their
wives and sons and daughters. Be-
sides, there were very many sightseeis,
not connected with the Grand Army
of the Republic, attracted by the spec
tacular displays expected 10 be seen
during the week. All OF these people
were taken care OF, as they arrived. by
the members OF the Reception Commit
tee or the numerous corps OF bright
high school boys who were detailed for
the service. Those who had secured
accommodations at hotels or boarding
houses were directed TO their destina-
ton; those who had heedlessly and
without regard to warning circulars
sent out by the Citizens Committee,
neglected to engage lodgings, were fur
uished with addresses where bed and
board might be had, and the great army
OF veterans who have availed themselves
OF the free quarters rendered by the cit
liens OF Washington were escorted to
their temporary quarters. In some way
everybody was cared for.

YOUR HEALTH.

The citadel Of life must be guarded
at two points. In the first place there
is the danger of taking cold. We take
cold through the skin and this affects
the kidneys and the lungs. So init
mately are these organs connected,
that a cold affects both. In order to
relieve the system, both should be
treated, or rather the whole system
should be regulated. This is done by
Reds German Cough and Kidney
Cure. 1t acts as a stimulant and re-
stores the organs to action. The
other weak spot is the digestion.
When the food does not digest, il ac-
cumulates and causes fever, sickness
and death. The Laxative Gum Drops
will remove all waste material from
the system and do it without pain or
gripping. Ask your druggist for these
remedies and see that he gives them
TO you.
