The Garnet Beetle.

The best remedies for this trouble
some pest are found in the persistent
use of kerosene, or, better still, benzine
and gasoline, If the inllammable ma
ture of these last two is borne in
mind and proper care against ignition
Of the vapor taken. The favorite haunt
Of the larvae is beneath the borders
of carpets, lurking In the crevices Of
the floor Jennings. IF the carpet is
lifted the larvae run rapidly and seek
to escape by hiding beneath the base
boards. After killing all that can be
found the crevices should be saturated
with kerosene or benzine to kill what
ever young larvae or eggs may be shell
tered there and then be filed up with
putty to prevent the resort Of the In
sects to them thereafter Until there is
reason TO believe that all the insects
have been disposed Of the carpets
should be left unnailed, so that their
borders can be raised every few days
and thorough search for the larvae
made. When exterminated, a strip of
tarrec paper Of about eighteen inches
in width should be placed beneath the
borders to guard, by its odor, against
reinfestation.

The children,a Toys.

One of the most perplexing problems
with which the order loving mother
has to contend is to decide where to
put the children's toys. If placed in the
nursery closet they keep the floor in an
unsightly litter. and the dust gathers
quickly under them.
One of the most convenient devices
is a box couch seven feet in length,
three feet wide and three feet deep.
To this is hinged top. The box is COW
cred with a deep red brocade, and on
the lid is fitted and securely fastened
a hair mattress, also covered with bro
cade. Into this thoroughly ornamental
piece of furniture the toys may be
stored every night, it being the chill
dren's duty to pick off everything from
the floor and put it away in a neat and
orderly manner.
They become accustomed to this
task and perform It with perfect cheer
fulness and with a delightfully."- pleas
ant conviction that they are helping
mamma. By the time their early sup
per is brought to the nursery not toy
is TO be discovered on the floor and the
box couch is closed.
Upon this same couch are a number
of pillows of bright cretonnes and
denims and folded afghan, and here

There is a knack about preparing the
dainty bread and butter rolls for lunch
con OF the o'clock tea that not every
housekeeper possesses. To roll easily
the bread must not be more than a
day old. while the loaves should not be
more than FIVE or six inches in diane
ter. Cut the slices very thin with a
sharp knife, buttering each time before
slicing Trim off the crust and roll
lightly, pressing just enough TO have
the folds adhere. If preferred, the
bread can be spread with fine paste

children's parties or occasions when

As Wrong Had Been Done, Somebody

Did you ever hear Of the robber
who tried to enter a second story
window in Cairo and broke his leg?
Well, the robber went to the cadi
and complained about it. He said
the mans window was badly made
or he wouldn't have fallen out, and
so he wanted justice. The cadi said
that was reasonable, and he sum-
moned the owner of the house. The
owner confessed the house was poor
ly built, but claimed that the car
penter was to blame, not he. This
struck the cadi as sound logic, and
he sent for the carpenter. "The
charge is, alas, too true" said the
carpenter, "but the masonry was at
fault, and / couldn't fit good win
dow" So the cadi, impressed with
the reasonableness Of the argument,
sent for the mason. The man plead
ed guilty, but explained that a
pretty girIin a blue gown had pass
ed the building while he was at
work and that his attention had
been diverted from his duty. The
cadi thereupon demanded that the
girl be brought before him. at is

but that is no fault of mine If my
gown attracted the mason the dyer

"Quite true" said the cadi. "Send
for the dyer" The dyer was brought
to the bar and pleaded guilty.
That settled it. The cadi told
the robber to take the guilty wretch
to his house and hang him from the
doorsill, and the people rejoiced
that justice had been done. But
pretty soon the crowd returned to
