Crate very fine six and one-half ounces
OF hazelnuts (shelled), and six and one
half ounces of sweet almonds, (shelled
and peeled), and add thirteen ounces of
sugar and the beaten whites of five or
six eggs. Mix the whole thoroughly,

inside moist. A pretty variation is to
shape them like cones.-Harper's Ba-

CONCERNING MOTHS.
The Only Sure Preventive Is the Exercise
of Great Care.

of Great Care.
81 have lived long enough in this
world to grow gray, as you see," said
an elderly lady, who had all her life
been noted as good housekeeper, 'and
think you would be surprised if were
to show you little book / have in
which are directions for keeping moths
from clothing. 1t seems to me that
there must be thousands of them. just
as matter of curiosity, have made
practice of writing down every new
process which has been recommended
to me for this purpose; and the curious
part of it is, if you should ask me which
of all l could furnish you as infallible, 1
should unhesitatingly say, not one of
them; many of them with absolutely no
results at all save the destruction of my
goods. l have come to this conclusion:
Anti-moth papers, preventives, an
nihilators and the like, have, in almost
every instance, failed to effect their
alleged purpose. For long time
I could not understand why
garments which were actually
saturated with the odor of camphor,
drug supposed to be positive
death to moths, showed signs of their
presence A practical furrier finally
enlightened me, and l assure you it was
no special compliment to my good sense
when he told me that such thing as
Notwithstanding preparation was
practically an unknown thing. Once
the egg is laid in the fabric, cedar, tar,
camphor and all the other stuffs avail
nothing, nor will they keep the moths
away if they are relied on as the only
precaution.
Handsome garments which are made
of materials likely to be injured by
moths are safest when kept either in
the open light and air, entirely ex-
posed, or packed in impervious wrap
pers Among the best things for this
purpose are large paper bags, such as
are used for flour. First beat the arti-
cles out thoroughly, taking care to put
them away early enough in the season
to avoid the laying of eggs in the folds
of the garments, then wrap them in
newspaper. Tie them up loosely, then
wrap them into heavy paper bags,
pasting up the tops to close them
tightly. When dry hang them from
the ceiling in the garret or in store
I closets, with which all houses should
be provided.
'Woolen dresses which are used dur
ing the entire season should be fire.
quently taken from the wardrobes,
thoroughly shaken out, and allowed to
hang in the light and air for some
hours, at least once a week. They
should also be looked over. The pres
ence of moths can be readily detected
by the little white webs which they
weave about themselves. If there is
any doubt about the safety of packed
away goods, take them out on some
bright, sunshiny day and let them hang
for two or three hours out of doors, but
out of the sun. Repack and seal up be-
fore night. The moth-miller is more
likely to be about at twilight than any
other time in the twenty-four hours,
and is then in search of some cozy home
for her prospective family.
''The best anti-moth preparation,
therefore, is care and the positive assur-
ance that no eggs have been deposited
In the garments before being put
away."-N. Y. Ledger.

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper il the State, and with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun-
try, and its usefulness has been de.
monstrated and appreciated during
the NINETY.oNE YEARS of its exist.
ence. In its columns has always
been found a mirror of passing
events and the caseful chroniclinr
of the history Of what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house
hold, while in the counting room
and work shop it has become in,
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is so
close to Washington, the great GEN.
ire of news, enjoys daily the bene-

PATCHES from every part CT the
world; hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has TRANSFERRED that day in ev-
cry portion of the United States as
well as from every part of the hab-

an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve Or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every sactlon of
the State is published regularly,
and all events Of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
umns of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves 10
make the GAZETTE a great desider-
alum with merchants is its after
noon market reports from all the
great centres of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this

Railroad Cars by Electricity.

Several of the long distance railways
of Massachusetts, are preparing to sub
stitute electricity for steam. Edison is
not the only one who has devices for
this purpose. James A. Lakin, the man
who perfected the long distance tele-
phone, and member of the legislative
committee on railroads, predicts that in
year railroads in Massachusetts will
be operated exclusively by electricity.
The current will be taken from the
rails in the system projected for Massa-
chusetts. The supplying power will come
from relay stations along the routes. A
curious incident of the discussion about
electricity for propelling rail cars oc-
CURED when Mr.. Lal1in met the inter-
state railway commission, which re-
minds one Of the question asked George
Stevenson by member of the royal
commission to investigate railroads,
"What would you do if COW should
get on the trackY" Once our interstate
commission asked Mr.. Lakin how an
engine could whistle without steam
"Do you have to have steam in your
mouth when you whistler Immediately
asked Mr.. Lakin in reply. The advan-
tages arising from the absence of dust,
steam and smoke in a railway train can.
not be estimated.

A cheerful sect that is in New York
city which believes that the world is
growing steadily more and more wick
ed and that it must necessarily be
so till the disciples of the true church
are caught up into heaven, after which
the rest of the people, which includes
about 90 per cent, Of the race, will
be destroyed, Yet this sect enjoys
its belief thoroughly and grows jolly
and fat over it. Maybe these disciples
are so pleased because they all feel sure
they themselves will be saved.

The Greatest Loss.

1t is not wealth or friends, it is not
even health. That which men have
need to lament most is lost enthusiasm.
A sad day it is when a man says to him
self "The aspirations of my youth are
illusions, my hopes of noble achieve
ment are dust. Bread and butter are
all care for henceforth." The want of
this enthusiasm will make youth aged;
its presence will keep the old young
The Moravian says:
Find me the man in whom the fire of early
vigor and hopefulness has not been replaced
by the steady and persistently forceful deter
mination of middle life, who cares no longer to
do and to dare, whose soul is like a burned out
volcano, the lava and ashes OF former warm
ambitions and pulsing emotions alone remain
ing, and you will have shown me the man to
be pftied. Life is tedious to him, a ceaseless
round Of wearying duties-drudgery. He does
not welcome the effort that strains and tests
his powers. Its approach causes nameless
dread. He expects the worst in seeking 10
forecast events, and in consequence the worst
not infrequently ensues. Oh, if only such a
man could escape from himself And he may
II he will, by self forgetfulness in seeking tC
advance the interests Of others more really un
fortunate. Let him put his whole soul into
anything true, only so that his whole being bt
exercised. Enthusiasm for almost anything il
better than dreary, dead level afmlessness
Better even that degree of enthusiasm that
leaps over the bounds Of cautious prudence
than to have it replaced by cynicism.

The New Whatcom banks that are
favored with the county treasurer's
deposits should be grateful to the board
of school trustees of this district for
having levied a special four mill tax
last year There is now about SIS, 900
in the school fund of the district and
the use of ii is worth at least $3.50
month to the favored banks. Our own
banks, that is to say the banks located
in this district, are mot in it," But
that isn't so much a matter for COM
plant as is the fact that there was no
good reason for calling upon the tax
payers for such a sum. A levy of one
and a half mills would have been
amply sufficient to meet all necessary
requirements. There is, however,
some consolation for the taxpayers in
the fact that no special levy will be
made this year.

A number of lightweight gold double
eagles has been shipped east from Cali
fornia. By the ingenious use of cleo
tricity the coins are supposed to be
sweated to the extent of seventy-five
cents or a dollar each. This may be
mentioned as one of the modern scien-
tifc uses to which electricity is put.
The lightning has been harnessed for
the uses of thieves, but it would appar-
entity be easier to earn dollar honestly
than to get it by this tedious process.
