How to Clean Wool Upholsteries and Pr,
tect From the Injurious Moth.


How to Clean Wool Upholstories and Pro-
tect From the Injurious Moth.
One of the most important factors in
the future comfort Of the household is
that as little as possible Of wool mate
rial should be used in upholstery. There
arc always raw silk tapestries or petit
points for ordinary use, while silk goods
arc not so expensive but that they arc
within reach of most persons for best
Upholstorics composed largely Of wool
are always asource Of anxiety. Do what
one will, there is no certainty that some
moth may not select it for home, and
then, even though tho room may be in
constant use, somo fine day my lady
may discover, to her dismay, that her
beautiful furniture is all cut to pieces
by this misohiovous insect If thoro is
danger in this direction, Modern Pris-
ella advises as follows:
Invest in q few gallons Of naphtha
and give each wool upholstered article
q good shower bath. For this purpose
small watering pot with the finest
sprinkler is necessary. Place tho article
ont of doors in n locality whcro thoro is
n strong current Of air and shower il
thoroughly with tho naphtha Ono roa,
son why people fail in cleaning furni.
turo is that they arc too economical in
tho uso Of naphtha. 1t must bo literally
poured ON effective. Standing in
the breeze, it will ovaporato very quick
ly and will destroy every vcstige Of
moths If the articles AFRO to be left il
the house, they may bo wrapped in cot
ton cloths--old sheets or Sjmilar cloths
arc suitablo-and those may bo very
tightly pinned around them This keep,
a certain amount Of the oior in tho fur
nituro for long timo and renders il
doubly safe.
1t cannot he 100 strongly emphasized
that no light of any kind must be takcr
in the rooms whilo the naphtha cleaned
articles recently finished aro there Il
is therefore well To store the furnitur,
in some portion Of the house which i,
not likely 10 he used. Tho infammablt
nature Of naphtha vapor makes it ex
ceedinsiy dangerous when brought neal
o flame.
Cushions, carpets and wool draperie'
may safely be cleaned in this way, anC
if Immediately wrapped and packed fo,
the summer will almost intalhbly CONF
ont right at the end of tho season
When again required for use, all tina
is necessary is to throw all draperie
over a line in tho yard, open the win
dows, remove the wrappings from tn,
furniture and Let the breeze have q full
sweep through the rooms for q day o
two. Then the furniture may be re
moved to the parlor and used with per
feet safety, and there Is much less har,
work about this way of managing thai
one would imagine.

She Didn't Like Handbags,

A pretty girl muifled in long travelling
cloak sat on the deck Of Hudson river
steamer, where an impatient brother had
deposited her, her satchel, shawl strap and
parasol while he looked up the rest Of the
party. Another girl who had just come
aboard with her father and a detachment
Of younger brothers stopped to speak with
her. The second girl wore sailor hat and
trim, close fitting travelling gown. She
carried neat little jacket over hernrm.
The muflled girl inspected her new COM
panion rather curiously, and after greet
lngs asked, "Where are your things"
"If you mean luggage it's below" said
the trim girl, "and II you mean handbags
haven't any,"
Tho first girl sat up among her belong
Ings and said, "Why, how can you travel
all night without oneP"
"Oh, a chatclaine carries some OF the
necessities Of lifc," said number two, dis
entangling her bonbonnlere. "Do you re-
ally want to know how do ltl Just look
in here" She opened her oblong pocket
book and handed 1t to her friend. The
change compartment held hairpins, a
glove buttoner and tiny bottle OF violet
extract The noighboring compartment
carried little silver comb, diminutivC
pair OF scissors and knife.
"My dressmaker never puts in pockets, "
said their owntr, "but she can't help my

A sickroom that needs cleaning can be

Itcma For Piano Pupils.

Let the fingers and thumb be placed
over the keys, always ready to strike,
bending them moro or less, in proper
tion to their length, and accommodating
them to the exigencies Of the black and
whito keys.
Keep the keys down the full length Of
every note, for when the contrary is re-
luired it is indicated by particular
sign. All unnecessary motion must be
avoided.
Tho extremities Of the fingers, but not
the nails, must strike the keys. Their
motion should be SO smooth as not to be
noticed.
Unbecoming habits should be care
fully avoided, as holding the face too
close to tho book, biting tho lips, nod
ding the head to mark tho time, opening
or distorting the mouth, etc.
The player must possess such control
over his fingers as enables him by the
weight and pressure Of their extremities

tone from the most delicate to the most
powerful
