HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
KEEP your BREAD DRY.

One hears n great deal of talk about
moist bread, and large number of
housokeepers shut their bread in
alright boxes to keep IL moist. Such
barbarous treatment of bread may be
efficacious in keeping IL moist, but
bread from which fresh air is excluded
always has disagreable, clayey fla
vor, and is unpalatable to people Of
cultured tastes, who appreciate the
nutty sweetness that is prominent
characteristic of all good bread.
The foolish notion of keeping bread
moist had its origin in bad cookery.
Most of the stuff made by bakers has
to be eaten fresh and moist, or not
eaten at all. II is 80 light and woody
that If exposed to the air few hours,
IL grows dry and husky, and is almost
as unsavory and innutritious as chips.
A large proportion of homemade
bread is similar in character, and is
affected in similar manner by ex-
posure to the air. But properly made
bread--sueh bread as ought to be in
every intelligent home and on every
table three times day-grows sweeter
by exposure to the air, and is not at
its best until two or three days old.
Bread should be kept in well-covered
box or jar, but it should not be
wrapped in cloths, and the box or jar
in which it is kept should have small
holes in the top or sides, through
which the fresh air can have access.
As soon as loaves of bread are taken
from the oven they should be exposed
freely to pure air, and at no time af-
terward should they be excluded from
it. Make good bread, put it in n we'll
ventilated box after it is perfectly
cool, and it will keep sufficiently moist
at least week. New York Adver-
tiser.

A HOUSE PEST.

II would seem at times as il no
amount of vigilance would free us from
or keep us rid of the moth. In the
winter time, like all insects of this
class, the moth remains torpid, in
crysalis state, but no sooner do the
warm spring months come than he
conspicuously obtrudes himself into
everything. II does not help the case
to know that the male moth is entire.
ly harmless, and that it is the female
who does the mischief; she lays her
eggs in every kind of textile fabric,
and as soon as these hatch out they
begin the work of destruction. Many
good housekeepers believe that by
keeping their rooms dark they will ex.
clude the moth, but this is great
mistake as, like many other evil things,
this creature prefers darkness to light.
As yet 40 remedy has been discovered
that will destroy the moth, for the
reason that we cannot find where the
eggs are laid; but it is well to know
that they will never deposit their eggs
where there is light, and knowing this
We can see that light itself serves as a
preventive, if not a cure. Wherever il
is possible to do so, every article OF
wear stored away in closets should be
exposed for some time to the sunlight
before being done up in papers or laid
away in boxes that are moth proof.
The fumes of camphor, as is well
known, have the effect of driving of
moths, but as soon as one enters o
house that is 80 protected, the cam
phor manifests itself in an unpleasant
way, and on the streets and in the
cars the odor of camphor tells of gar.
ments that have recently been pro.
tected from the moths. The buffalo
moth is even more destructive of car
pets than the ordinary kind. As they
invariably lay eggs along the edges OF
the carpets near the walls, slight
sprinkling OF kerosene will destroy
their eggs, and while the odor is even
more unpleasant than that OF camphor,
it has the advantage Of being more
volatile, and in day or two at the
most its evidence will have disap.
peared. 1t has been discovered by @
New England housekeeper that the
buffalo moth prefers materials of o
blue or red color. The same keen oh.
server availed herself Of this informa.
tion when the buffalo moths were on
the wing. She saturated strips of red
and blue flannel with preparation Of
arsenic and kept these along the edges
of the carpet for a week or ten days.
After the eggs were laid she took the
strips away, first noticing that they
were pretty we'll covered with moth
eggs, but as soon as the creatures
hatched out they began eating the
flannel and so ended their own career.
