THE HOUSEHOLD.
Their Coming-How to Serve Straw
berries-Mere Mention.

An ounce Of prevention is worth q
pound Of cure, says the proyerb.
Eggs which have been laid by the
mother moth hatch in due time with
certainty which would fill the average
poulterer's heart with joy could he OBJ
tain like results with his incubator. I'M
mediatoly the little worm or maggot
begins his work by devouring all tho
animal hair which comes i'll his way,
whether in form of wooden stuffs or
furs.
There is nothing to show that tho
larvae migrate after Matching. They
simply eat and grow wherever they
may happen to be. Evidently any en-
tirely tight Enclosure, whether bag,
snck, box or trunk, will shut out the
moth, and so prevent all trouble But
if the eggs have already been deposited
these precautions will fail, nor will
disinfectants and demoralizing odors
prevent the Matching of the little pests.
Now, as to preventive measures prop
er Tho most dangerous period is be-
tween tho laying aside of heavy winter
clothing with tho coming of spasmod-
ically warm weather and the final put
ting away for the summer. Not infre-
quently such clothing is temporarily
slowed i'll dark closets and out of the
way places, whence it may he extricated
at call.
1t is at this time that Mrs. Moth-the
first-is abroad and generally makes
herself useful. When the winters cloth
ing is finally taken in hand to be put
away for the summer, it may receive but
casual treatment, and when it goes into
permanent quarters carries with it the
little knots of eggs. In duo time these
hatch; then something else happens,
and, perhaps, months later the good
housewife wonders how those veXatious
and ruinatious moths got into her strong
box. The unfortunate woman does not
realize that unwittingly she herself put
them there.
On bright, sunny day the woolens
which are to be put away for the sum-
mer should be taken into the outer air,
given thorough busting and brushing,
cleaned Of any grease spots, if such
there are, and hung for several hours
i'll the bright sunlight. If this has been
thoroughly done, the garments will be
free from eggs. 1t remains, then, to
wrap them or pack them i'll such man.
ner that the moths cannot get to them.
Tho simplest way is to enclose each gar
ment i'll stout paper sack, free from
rent or hole and SO secured that tho
mother moth cannot find entrance. She
will not attempt to perforate the paper.

Vinegar Bath For Round steak.

A housekeeper claiming experience
gives the assurance that round steak
has moro taste and nutriment and can
be made as tender as sirloin by giving
it o vinegar bath. Put several table
spoonfuls of cider vinegar and one OF two
of olive oil in a largo fiat dish, lay the
steak in it, leave for several hours, then
turn to soak the other SIDE A steak
designed for broiling for breakfast may
thus lie overnight.

duplicated, so many times and in SO
many places is the information they
contain set down. Have you imported
an invoice of goods? Every little de-
tail of interest to the government about
the importation is recorded at least
thrce-on the appraiser the collectors
and the naval officers books and the
records are so indexed that each separ-
ate detail could be looked up 10 years
or 100 years from now. The date OF
entry, the value and the classification
of the goods, the amount of duty de-
termiped upon and the date of pay
ment are all included. Whether
through accident or design, II lour
goods have been undervalued or im-
properly classified your name is sure TO
be set down in the lists of those for
whom the governments customs service
must be on the lookout. If John Smith
customs employee, is suspected Of
funny business" of any sort, such as
being in the pay of an importer. his
name goes down in the lists of the
special treasury agents, and so does the
name of the suspected importer.
From all these lists and records and
the elaborate indexes that are kept a
complete and detailed history of every
mans transactions with the customs
service might be colated in an exceed
ingly short time. 1t is singular thing
in the circumstances that the books
and records of the customs service are
not kept on uniform models, but they
are not, though there is a probability
that this defect will be remedied under
the present administration. Spasmodic
efforts have been made in this direction
in the past, but the coming attempts
seem more likely to be successful, as
! he service is now SO enormous as to
make uniformity almost Indispensable
to the proper dispatch of business.
Attaches of the customs service must
not only familarize themselves thor.
oughly with the current law as it stands,
but also with its Interpretation as shown
forth in the various court and other de-
csions in appeals, and the demand for
such information was years ago SO
great as to lead TO the establishment Of
rhe United States Revenue Journal.

Of the internal revenue and the customs

lains the full text OF digests of the lat
