THE HOME.
THE CARPET BEETLE.

The life history of the buffalo hug, or
carpet beetle, SO far as known, is des-
oribsd by Professor Slingerland, Of Cor.
nell University, as follows: The beetles
which lay the eggs from which later the
larvae emerge arc in form and appear
ance somewhat like the ladybug beetle
Its coIors are black and white, having n
notified lock, and single line OF red
down the back, this widening at three
different Joints where 1t meets the irrsg-
ular white bands. The beetles are small
and nearly round in form. They may bs
found In spring and summer. not only
about the house, but upon different va
rieties Of flowers upon whose pollen they
| feed
| The eggs are very small, about 20 of
them icing required to MEASURE an inch.
Ihe color is white. and they can some
times be found deposited in the fibre of
wooden goods or carpets.
The Matching takes place In about two
weeks. and the larvae begin at once to
feed upon the surrounding fabric. They
arc nearly transparent. and thu color of
che fabric they have been eating can
| readily be distinguished under micro
scope. They are entirely covered after q
while with dark brown hairs, and attain
to length of about one.fourth of an
Inch. Taey shed their skins from time
to time, aud It Is not until after the
second mouit that they take on the brown
color which charactsrizss them.
The work OF destruction is done while
i,, efo IL In
ularly shaped holes, or In the case of car
pets, the larvae often follow the matching
in the boards OF the floor cutting a
straight slit In the fabric.
How to eradicate them is problem as
yet not entirely solved. Where they have
cush and effective work will keep them
in creck. Probably nothing is so effec-
tive iu'aestroying them as benziue, but
this must lie handled with extreme care
ON account CT its infiamnability. Never
use 1t where there Is fire or light of any
kind.
Come place wet cloths about the edges
of the cardet and steam them with hot
flatirnns. All attempts at driving them
away by keeping pepper, tobacco, pyreth-
rum, etc., will be unavailing, for as soon
as the strength has somewhat evapoiated
the little pests appear again, even If driven
cut at ali, which those who have tried
them seem to doubt.
tugs used for the covering of floors
very effectively do away with the ravages
of this pest. Carpets furnish excellent
hiuing places for the insects.
They can sometimes be killed by means
of poisoned red woolsn rags, the larvae
set mingly having preference for this
color. In closets they are frequently
trapped by placing red wooden cloths
upon the floor, removing them every few
days. and destroying the pests which are
found therein.

He Has Resigned.

Missoula, Nov. 23-Sam. the China
man who runs the Garden City restau-
rant, on West Front street, was arrest
ed Wednesday night on complaint
charging him with petty larceny. The
complaint is sworn to by a lumber jack,
who claims that he went into the res
taurant to eat, and that he handed the
Chinaman a SO bill. but received no
change. There appears to be another
story to the case, however, which gives
it different color. 1t appears that the
lumber jack and John Fitzpatrick, the
well-known colored janitor, We're play
ing cards in a secluded place, and that
the lumber jack lost his money on the
table. Fitzpatrick told the lumber jack
that he was in the restaurant and that
he handed the SO bill to the China
man. and received no change. Sam
says that the lumber jack was never
in his restaurant. and that he never
saw the man. The case will come up
for trial Friday in Justice Hayes court.
Sam is out on bail.

The Indian Murder Case.

Mssoula, Nov. 2S.-County Attorney
Denny is absent on the reservation in
vestigating the recent Indian murder
case. There are several Indians and
half-breeds now in the county Jail un-
der suspicion of having been connected
with the affair. but thus far there mas
been no positive evidence discovered.
The case is an important one, as the
Indians who come to town from the
reservation have been getting holder
and holder lately in their violation Of
the law. The sheriff's office is at work
upon the case with the particular OBJ
ject in view of finding out who fur
nishes the Indians with whiskey. This
will be of greater benefit if it is found
out than the actual discovery Of the
murderers, as it will prevent a reperi-
tion of the crime.

Only One Important Case Before
Judge Woody.
THE HELM-SMITH AFFAIR
A Sister Sues Her Brother for D.v.s sion
of Her Mothers Estate-An Agree
ment Shown-The Case Taken
Under Amusement.

MiSsoula, Nov. 23-There was not
trict court to-day. There was but one
important case before the court and
that did not require the services of the
jurors who were this morning discharg-
ed for the term. At the opening of
court this morning the case of Sweeney
VS.. Mcbride, suit for wages which
had been appealed, was dismissed as
settled upon motion of the plaintiff.
The Helm-Smith case. which has
been before the courts of this town
ship and district for long time and
which has attracted much attention ~
account of the controversies that have
arisen among the attorneys engaged in
the case, was this afternoon submitted
to the court for a judgment on the
pleadingS. This is the case in which
Mrs. Helm sues her brother for divis-
ion of the estate of their mother, claim
ing that she has not received her just
share. The mother was cared for dur
ing her latter years by the son and it
is claimed that when she decided her
property to him it was with the I'M
derstanding that she should have a
home with him for the remainder Of
her life. There IS an agreement shown
in the case to the effect that, after talk
ing into consideration the expense of
maintenance of the old lady, the daugh-
ter should receive a just share of the
estate, which was then valued at $4,000.
1t is the contention of the defendant
that 800 is a fair share for the sister,
but the latter thinks not. Judge Woody
has the case under ADJUSTMENT.
The case of the county of Missoula
VS.. Martin was non-suited at the after.

The old Bow bridge, built by Queen
Matilda at Stratford-atte-B Bow, in the
twelfth century, survived till lately in
a much-restored condition: the charge
of 1T was given by its builder to a re-
ligious house hard by. 1t was a simple
stone structure of three arches and was
not only often in bad repair. but was
used by its keepers to extort money
from passengers. From the frequency
with which the prefix bridge occurs in
the names of places one might imagine
that many of our towns and villages
have been named from their bridges,
and such is indeed often the case, but
in many other instances the prefix
comes really from the name of st.
Bride, or Bridget, one of the most pop
ular of Celtic saints. At another STRAIT
ford, that situated or the Avon and
destined to worldwide fame, there was
in Lelands time poor bridge of timber.
so insecure that many poor folks ami
others refused to come to Stratford
when Avon was up, or, commynge
thither, stood in jeopardye Of lyfe."
1t remained for Sir Hugh of Clopton,
once mayor of London, to erect the ex-
osting fine structure, which, says Le-
land, hath fourteen great arches of
stone and a long causey made of stone,
lowe walled on each syde. at the west
