THE BED Buo.
Dssctiptaoa of Little Pest by Gsorrs
Edwin Hack.

Description of Little Pest by Georxs
Edwin Black.
Bed bugs belong to the order OF hem
iptera, or the true bugs. They have
mere rudiments of wings. and have
mouth parts formed for piercing. Their
eyes are not the simple eyes of most
other insectz.- A Characteristic feature
of this bug is the strong odor which it
exhales whenever disturbed; the odor
is similar to that OF squash and chinch
bugs of our gardens. The bed bug is
nocturnal in its habits. and shows
great skill in finding safe places for
its retreat from the light OF daytime.
generally frequenting buildings that
are old. and therefore full OF cracks
and crannies. and is also found In
houses that are uncleaned. with rags
and clothes lying around and not often
disturbed. The old-fashioned wooden
beds furnished prime hiding places.
but the modern iron and brass bed
steads are almost proof against the
pest Although the insect seems to
favor human blood, IT does not require
II, as it has been known to subsist on
the juices of the wood which 1t hides
in and on the dust and lime that it
finds in the holes in the walls and
floors. The bugs bites are not poison
Gus. although the puncturing of the
skin by the piercing parts of the mouth
irritates the skin OF some people SO
much that they believe themselves TO
have been poisoned. The bug has sew
eral little jabbers. which II keeps NOV
ing through the flesh all the time It
effect of drill and causing the pain
of the bite. The eggs are laid in
bunches Of ten or fifty in the cracks
where the inaects hide during the day.
They are small, white, oval objects,
which open within week or ten days.
The young are small and are whitish
in color. but they have a form similar
to that OF the older insects and grow
rapidly. Ordinary insect powders can
not be used TO kill the bed bugs. as
they can not be successfully intro
dueed into the cracks in which the
bugs secrete themselves. The best
way to get at them Is to introduce coal
oil or benzine. using small brushes or
feathers. Hot water is also good where
1t can be used without inJuring the
furniture. In rooms where there are
books and papers in large quantities.

effect. by placing II in a double dish
that will not permit its overlooking
onto the carpet or floor while burning
and removing all substances that the
birthstone will discolor. having all
openings into the room closed tightly.

gerous enemy in the form OF the com

A CHARITABLE MAN.
How Corot- Landscape Artis.. Conduct.d
HIS Finances.


HIS Finances.
Corot, the great French landscape
artist, was very generous. kindly
man, and never refused to help any
one who came to him In distress. In
fact, he was SO self-forgetful in mat
ters of charity that his sister had to
be appointed manager of his estate,
for 1t was not safe to ALLOW him to
handle the most trifing sums of
money. One day shabbily dressed
man came to him. Il am one of your
tenants" he said. Il owe you nine
months rent, and you have threatened
to put me out If do not pay you with
in three days. have come to ask you
to believe me, upon my word of honor,
that 1t will be impossible for me to pay
you before month, when / shall re-
ceive a considerable amount due me.
II you will have confidence in me /
will see that you are paid promptly at
that time Corot declared that he
did not know anything about the affair
and did not understand why the man
came to him. who never troubled him
self about property. leaving this care
entirely to his sister. who compre-
hended business matters better than
he. The man then begged him to in
tercede in his behalf. but Corot would
not hear of 1t, protesting that he would
not dare to do so; and when his visitor
renewed his promises. Corot said:
Hear me. AS you give your word Of
honor that you will be able to pay in a
month we will do something even bet
ter. l will give you the necessary
money to pay my sister that you owe
US, and in few weeks you can repay
me; but do not say word of this to
my sister, for she would scold me-"
The tenant kept his word, returned
the money and guarded the secret TIL
the day of Corot's death.
