Sex and SalarI.

There are reported TO be 1876 male
teachers in the public schools of Boston
and 1,372 women. The average salary
of the men per month is s246.Os, and the
average salary per month of the women
ID 5000. To what extent the larger sal

an interesting question, says the Boston
Globe. Doubtless the fact that many OF
the higher salaried posts are held by
men accounts for more or less OF this
disparity. but 1t by no means accounts
for all. 30 far as a man receives higher

How to Get Rid of Pests.

Prof. Riley in a lecture before the
Lowell Institute, discusses most prac-
tically the subject of how to get rid
Of household pests. For certain of the
commoner pests, such as bedbugs, car
pet-beetles and clothes-moths, benaine
applied in q fine spray by means of an
atomizer was said to be the best rem
edy, as 1t destroys the insect in all
stages. including the egg. In the use
of benzine great care should be exer-
cised that no fire or artificial light is in
the room at the same time, as the vapor
Of benzine is highly explosive.
For cockroaches, bristle-bugs, fish,
moths and fieas, pyrethrum powders
were recommended. For the destruc-
ton of the mosquito, the Professor
recommended pyrethum powder moist
ened. made into little cones. then al
lowed to burn in a closed room. The
effect Is to stupefy or kill the mos
quito.
1t was a mistaken idea that mosquito
bites inoculated the'body with malarial
poison. The idea came from the fact
that mosquitoes and malaria fiourished
usually under the same conditions.
