One especially interesting feature of
the statement of our commerce with the
various countries is that of trade with
the new republic of Panama. The state
ment shows the exports to and imports
from the republic of Panama for the
months of January and February. Our
total exports to that republic in the
two months named were $311, Os7 and our
total imports from that country, $153.-
Ss4. For February alone our exports to
Panama We're $15S, 1877, and our imports
from Panama, SsO.67O. Thus the trade
with the new republic in the first two
months of its record runs at the rate
of nearly S3,OOOOOO per annum.

GOOD TASTE IN WALL PAPERS,.
The rules of good taste never change,
though they sometimes seem to do so.
The wall should be treated from the
Dashboard. up. If there is dado, it
should represent the darkest tone OF
aaH those employed for the wall; the
division above it should be several
shades lighter, the border, if any, still
lighter, and the ceiling highest of all,
and for this reason, which always ex-
lists: the ceiling receives less light
than any other portion Of the room,
and the border less than the wall be-
low it. The effort, therefore, must be
to counteract the darkness above by
supplying the missing light. A darkly
papered ceiling should always be
avoided in any but Turkish or Indian
room. Cool yellows, deep creams,
golden tans, are the best ceiling tones,
as rule, though there are occasions
where soft blue or a rose-fushed
ceiling is to be advised.-Harper's s
s.rxlsia.

CAMPHOR IS EXCELLENT.

To get rid of moths, procure shay
ings of camphor wood and enclose in
bags. Allspice berries sprinkled among
clothes or the seeds of the musk plant
are effectual in driving moths out.
To destroy eggs when deposited in
woolens, use solution of acetate of
potash in spirits Of rosemary, fifteen
grains to the pint. One woman who
has been housekeeping for a number
of years claims that she has found
benzine to be more effective than any
other preventive Of moths.
Quite a dainty method of barring
out moths, employed by a girl in the
city, is to drop any strong ammonia
essence upon small pieces of sandal
wood. She then distributes them
among her hat boxes containing win
ter's furs and feathers
Everyone has her own method of
destroying OF preventing moths, but
the methods given above are tried
and proyen and have not been found
wanting.

PRACTICING ECONOMY.

If one wishes to be truly economical.
q good place to begin is at the coalbin.
Oh, the coal which is wasted in many
of our homes, simply because those in
charge do not understand the care of
a fire! 1t is one thing to keep a good
fire with the dampers wide open, and
quite another with the dampers
closed. If one is ironing, baking, or
doing anything which calls for hot
fire, why, of course, the dampers
must be so arranged as to allow the
desired heat; but it is a woful waste
of coal to keep red-hOt fire all the
time. To let the fire come up fairly
well and then close the draughts
tightly until the heat is needed, is the
true way of eco1omizing. And, then.
a few cinders will do wonders for a
kitchen fire, even keeping it well over
night, when fresh coal would fail. I
burn one hod Of coal each day, in ex-
treme weather a little more, in my
kitchen stove, and rarely put on fresh
coal after making the fire in the morn
ing. I then fill the frebox full Of
coal, open and shut the draughts ac-
cording to the work to be done, after
dinner rake it a very little, cover with
cinders, adding a few more after sup
per, and in the morning have a good
fire, with steaming hot water in the
kettle. Sometimes, if the day has
been a windy one, the fire will be gone,
but the water still hot.
