PREVENTION OF MOTHS.
The Use of BisuIphide OF Carbon Is
Earnestly Advocated by a WASH
ington Medical Man.

Every season somebody gets out a
new form of encouragement to the en-
terprising and yoracious clothes moth.
Sometimes it is scientific or pseudo
scientific preventive; sometimes it is a
patent remedy upon which the insect
fairly thrives and multiplies. The lat
est method is the invention Of Dr.. A.
b. Fisher, of Washington, who doesn't
wish to patent or sell it, but altruistic-
ally disseminates through the de-
partment of agriculture the result of
his attempts to preserve clothing from
the insect promoter of the tailoring in
dustry. The department doesn't off,
cially vouch for the effectiveness of the
method, but considers it worthy of a
place in one of its recent pamphlets.
The preventive has the merit of sim
plicity and cheapness. It presupposes
the possession of wooden chest IN
which to pack the clothing. In the
cover of the chest DR.. Fisher bores a
large auger hole and fastens sponge
below it. Through the hole he pours
few drops of bisulphide of carbon, and
the sponge absorbs it. Then he corks
up the hole tightly. The fumes of the
carbon are disseminated through the.
chest, and when the designing moth ar
riFes with a view of depositing eggs
there-eggs which would eventually
hatch into small but active worms,
with ambitions to eat unsymmetrical
holes in the most prominent portions
of the expensive clothes around the
place-the odor assails its nostrils and
it fits on to a more healthful locality.
The inventor of this scheme says that
since he has employed it not single
moth has invaded his clothing.-N. Y.

coLoRING EASTER EGGS.
To Give Them Tints That VIII he
smooth and Even Is Not Very
Hard Task.

'Easter-egg time is not so very far
away now. and the question of coloring
them will soon come up again.
A variety of fancy eggs can be made
from one package of dyes. Purchase q
package containing four colors, red,
blue, yellow and violet being pleasing
colors. The day before thecoloring is to
be done dissolve each color separately
and put into bottles. The next day se-
lect perfectly fresh eggs and wash
them clean. If obtainable. use some
very small eggs. Put few of the eggs
into kettle of cold water and let them
boil ten or fifteen minutes; long boil
ing renders eggs more digestible. Only
a few should be cooked at time, as
they must be dipped into the dye while
hot, SO as to dry the coloring immedi-
ately, or they will not be nice.
Pour the dyes into an old bowl or
some deep dish. To produce a variety
of colors from the four kinds of dye
proceed as follows: Dip one-haIf of an
egg into one color and the other halt
into another. Paste half-inch strip
of paper around a white-shelled egg;
dip one end of the egg as far as the
paper extends in the red dye, and then
the other end in the blue dye. When
the paper is removed you will have a
pretty red, white and blue egg. You
can produce from two to three differ
ent shades from one color. For in
stance dip an egg into the yellow dye
to produce yellow, then add a little wa
terto the dye to produce a ightorange.
add a little more water to produce lem
on, and proceed in the same way with
the other co1ors. Roll the eggs over in
the dye two or three times until they
are evenly colored Cincinnati En-

Carrots and Complexion.

A woman of 10, who does not look 10,
has in few weeks won herself an enor-
nous following among the women Of
New York and of some of the adjoining
towns. She carries the secret of per-
petua1 youth with her, and as it lies
largely in question of hygienic living,
she has not yet antagonized the doc
tors, says Harper's Bazar. She recon-
mends, among other things, the drink
ing of a goodly supply of water daily,
and the eating Of a grated carrot be-
fore breakfast. The effect of the car
rots may not be visible at once, but in
a few weeks one will notice a certain
captivating gloss on the hair and a
clearness in the eyes and complexion
altogether new. She is absolutely with
out embarrassment in her criticism of
her pupils, no matter how large the au-
dience

decorator and was generally stared at
and wondered at says an exchange.
She decorated, among others, the
luxurious library in the house of Mrs
Frederick Winston, in North State
street, Chicago; the reception hall and
drawing-room of Mrs. Horatio May, in
Astor street, and frescoed after her
own designs the drawing-room of Mrs
William Bradburn, of Prairie avenue, at
Chicago,
Miss Twyman's methods differ from
those of fresco painters in general. To
her fresco painting is not trade to be
learned by apprenticeship SO much as
an art full of the soul and appreciation
of beauty. Her preference is for still
life; her style is bold, strong and mas
culine, and has all the elements of real
genius. Miss Twyman is a thorough
ly progressive and modern young wom-
an. One of the expressions of her ad-
vanced ideas is found in her costume.
In her work she wears a pair of blue
denim b1oomers. which have acquired
such wonderful dashes of coloring that
they rival Joseph's S coat in variety, but
she says they are the pride of her
heart.

or file the small end, or handle, to a
sharp point. Then strike this punch
with a hammer into the middle of the
steel so as to make little dent; then
give the steel little bend at this point.
Now drive a nail through little block
of wood and sharpen the nail to a long
point. You are now ready to balance
the steel on the standard, made of the
sharpened nail. IF the work has been
carefully done the steel will balance
nicely upon the point of the nail, as
shown in the drawing.

Cows with Pompadour TasIa.

The cows tail doesn't bother a GER
tain Holstein dairyman while milking.
Stepping in his stables. I noticed that
just out of reach of my hat, about seven
feet from the floor, above the cows
hips, a No. Q wire, drawn tight, ran
the whole length of the stable. On
this, in the rear Of each stall, was a
small ring or harness clasp, from
which hung a stout cord attached at
its lower end to the cows tail at about
the point where the brush or long hair
begins. This cord was long enough to
allow the animal to switch with COM
fort. The device answers the purpose,
but the sight of stable full of cows
with pompadour tails Is sure to pro-
yoke smile.-M. G. Kains, in Farm

G. Umsted, who left her widow with

she made out of her literary work. In
