come from many different parts Of Great
Britain and Ireland.
The floods in Yorkshire are the most seri-
Gus that have ever occurred in that county
in the memory OF the oldest inbabitant.
Railway traffic has been completely divert
ed from the usual channels. The damage
toproporty is enormous. A bridge at selby,
on tho York and Doncaster railway, has
been destroyed by the. floods. Thousands of
acres of land are submerged in the Barnsley
district, and many people are moving their
effects from their homes. The flood at
Leeds caused by the overflow of the river
Aire is subsiding. The floods in Derby
shire are causing large amount of dam

HOw 10 tct Istu OF HbusehOfu Posts.
In his fourth lecture before the
lowell Institute recently, Professor
Riley discussed the ever timely sub
lect of household pests. Ihe 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, aud the
clothes-moth, benzine, applied in
line spray by means of hand atom
izer, was stated to be the best remedy,
as In most cases 1t destroys the insect
In all stages, including the egg. In
using ben2inc, 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-
sive. For cockroaches. bristle-t tails,
or flsh-moths and ileas, the lecturer
recommended liberal use Of pyre-
thrum powder, In the form of either
Persian or Dllmatian powder or
Buhach. Fleas, he said, are general
ly introduced into houses by dogs or
cats, and the presence of bed-bugs Ia
not always sign OF uncleanliness, as
they have been found under the bark
of trees In the woods, and Ia 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-fly, with its compli
Gated mouth and its stcreoscopic 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 I'm the
water, and the larya, when hatched,
passes through several molts I'm the
same element, 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 contcnting himself with
vegetable juices. In dealing with
the mosquito rs household pest,
good pyrethrum powder is probably
the best preventive of its annoyauces.
Moistened and made into little cones,
allowed TO dry and then burned in "a
closed chamber, this powder will
either stupafy or kill, and is one 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, q
disease prevalent in tropical coun-
tries, and due to a minute organism
known as alarla, 1t has been well
established that the fllarla in its life
development must needs pass through
the mosquito as an intermediary
host.-Boston Advertiser.
