The Worst Element That Ever Entered
Into . Family.
If the people would only realize how
very easy it is to teach children good
manners when little, it seems to me
they would never neglect to attend to it.
The youngster is allowed to go his own
way, to violate every rule of courtesy,
sometimes of deccncy, until his habits
are, to an extent, formed. Then there
3 a great breaking up of established
notions, and the child is punished and
nogged and worried for doing that
which it has heretofore been permitted
to do without criticism. 1t becomes
angcred, sullen, unsettled and irritable,
and If it has a strong sense of justice
which. by the way, is more common in
children than people, rs rule. give
them credit fort feels outraged and
abused, and becomes unmanageab;s
and rcbcllious. The best school of man
ncrs for child is the parents example
and home training.
Company manners are. by all odds
the worst clement that ever entered into
family. just why people should in
dulCc themselves in all sorts of care
less, Indifferent and ill-bred habits
when they are alone at home. and put
on veneer Of courtesy. amiability and
polish when somebody comes. is one Oi
the many mysteries Of this very mystic

AsouT PARIS GREEN.


The Most RAID anA Effective Of Akoo01os
n InsoetSe1doa
1t il estimated that more than two
thousand tons of Paris green are aIa-
nually used rs an insecsicide in the
United States, since it is ths most rapid
and effective Of the arschic.Al preparu-
tions used for this purpose. The chief
difficulty in using it is the readiness
with which it settles 10 the bottom Of
the tank Of spraying apparatus. This
il because il is less finely divided than
London purple-a point in which the
latter compound has certain advan-
tage. In Insect Life DR.. c. +. Marlatt
explains that there il no reason for this
coarseness of grain in Paris green. ex-
cept that the market has demanded a
dark colored article, and the darker
color is due to the larger size Of the
crystal. raris green would be much
more satisfactory as an insecticide 1t 1t

turer who for years controlled the
market did 20 because he had discOv-
cred a method of crystallizing the pi sd
uct in unusually large particles. which
were, therefore, very deeply colored.
OF course, it was less valuable in this
form. and yet the dark green large
sized crystals were more difficult to
manufacture and more expensive. and
tho country went on using this for
years, although . more effective poison
could have been made for less money.
In testing Paris green when reduced TO
fine powder, DIR. Marlatt found that it
remained in suspension three times a.
long as the ordinary product did. while.
undoubtedly, the fineness in division
made it more effective against insects.
The last step in the process of nanu-
featuring Paris green is the combine
ton with acetic acid. When. however.
this acid is omitted, nm ilnpalpable
powder, instead of q crystalline prod
uct. is secured, and this will remain in
suspension almost perfectly for many
hours. Experiments are now in
progress to ascertain whether this can
be used as substitute for Paris green.

TO REMOVE STAINS.

II You Know How to Go About It the
Task IL Not Hard.
IAN evil known is half o'ercome." So
that if you ascertain the nature OF the
stain the evil is half remedied. Stains
may be classified under three heads:
!. Animal, ms oil and wax; 2. Vegetable.
as fruit and wine. 3. Mineral, as iron
and ink. The material may be treated
as of two kinds-those that will wash
and those that will not. Boiling will
generally remove grease from wash
ing material. Precipitation (animal
stain) is sometimes hard to remove
from linen. If it is there after a good
boil rub both sides with yellow soap.
tie q piece Of pearlash in the linen,
and boil again. Expose the material TO
sun and air and it will positively disap-
pear. Discolored linen must be treated
as grease-stained. The dirty appearance
that white clothes" will assume after
series Of dab washings," as the laun-
dress calls it, or the yellow tint it
gains by being laid by can be remedied
by sleeping in water to which has been
added turpentine, one tablespoonful to
the gallon. Boil as directed and repeat
If necessary.
Tea stains, if treated Immediately,
can be removed by pouring on boiling
water and then washed as usual. II dry,

INSECTS AND CONTRACTION.

The Damage That Can he Done Even BY
= CHATS sting.
It is generally understood that the
stings of some insects are essentially
poisonous in greater or less degree
and must therefore be early and care
fully treated, says the Lancet.
Pain alone in such cases will suffice
for danger signal. and few when thus
warned would care to neglect the pune
ture made by hornet, o wasp. or even
a bee. The fact that other insects, like
some species Of fly, are capable of equal
or even greater mischief is not so COM
monty known as it ought to be. The
recent death of q woman at Kingston
from septic erysipelas thus caused
may be quoted in illustration. In &C
counting for such occurrences two
points are specially noteworthy
namely. the condition of health of the
person attacked and the previous
habitat of the assailant::
In no case probably is it possible to
define exactly the influence exercised
by each of these contributing factors.
This much we know, however. that no
matter how trivial or how great the
effect of the conveyed poison it is much
enhanced by all conditions of weakness
or blood impurity existing in the suf-
ferer. A mere nudge or gnat bite in
one person will prove almost as serious
in its effect as q septic wound in an
other. There are in the system all
the materials for a confagration and
spark may light it up as well as q fire.
brand. The habits Of insects AFFORD
slew to the seeming vagary of their oc-
casional and accidental virulence.
The sting Of the mandibles, which
perhaps are buried an hour previously
in some putrid sore. excreta or offal,
cannot penetrate a living tissue with.
out leaving in it something of the same
rutrid character. It is safer, therefore
for the medical practitioner to regard
each and every injury Of this kind
however slight. as q possible source
Of illness and at once to contrive iti
relief by poulticing anti-septic com

New idea for Church Weddings.

A novel idea for . church wedding
has set the fashion in rural village in
New England. On q recent occasion,
following the bride and her maid OF
honor were two charming little girls
six or seven years Of age, who made q
beautiful picture. In their hands they
carried straw baskets gaily trimmed
with ribbons. These baskets were filed
with every kind of flowers. field grasses,
and delicate ferns. As the bride came
down the aisle these little girls at quite
a distance in front Of her. threw these
flowers right and left in her pathway.
until they reached the church door.
They then separated. letting the bride
and her party pass by. This pretty bit
ayas most cleverly done. having been
fAl,earscd many times before the event
took place.
