TO DESTROY MOTH MrLLERS
Naphtha Is About the Most Effective
Agent Known.

If moth millers be found be sa1re
and kill them if possible, and look
carefully for the eggs or worms. In
every case where there is the slight
est suspicion of their existence; pour
naphtha all along the under edge of
the carpet, having the windows open
and no light or fire in the ROOM
Do this with any stuffed furniture
which may have traces of the moth
about it. Nothing is cleaner or more
effective than naphtha, but great care
must be taken to have the. windows
open, that the gas may escape and
there must be neither a fire or light
in the room for several hours.

THE EAGLE .HUNTER.
Daring Feats Of willy Amrhein, Of
Switzerland.

Who is the bravest man in the world
Well, that's hard question to an
swer, isn't it, boys? So much depends!
But suppose we ask who is the most
daring man in the world? One might
say the Arctic explorer, another might
say the African lion hunter, and so on.
But rather think you had not thought
of another fellow-the eagle hunter of
the Alps. All, but he is daring man!
And he is so used to running risks
that he actually thinks nothing of it.
One of the greatest eagle hunters in
Switzerland is Willy Amrhein. A man

the long journey around the horn,
their departure being made the occa-
sion for solemn celebrations in New
England. They arrived at the end of
March, to learn that, by a dramatic
coincidence, unparalleled in religious
history, the idols had been burned. the
affairs and the deadly taboo had been
abolished, and that conditions were
most extraordinarily ripe for mission
airy effort.
The Romance of the South Seas.
Things had been in a bad way in
the Hawaiian islands. Civil war had
for centuries been the rule. until
Kamehameha the Great, sort of
dusky Napoleon, had consolidated the
islands under one rule. Vice at it's
worst was common and open. Two
thirds of all the children born. it is
estimated, were killed in infancy and
aged parents were often buried alive.
Human sacrifice was an essential part
of the religious system. Stealing was
a fine art; even kings and chiefs kept
servants for the express purpose of
committing theft. Gambling went on
by wholesale. When food was plenti-
full, the native would gorge himself
six or seven times day, even rising
in the night to eat. At other times he
would eat but once day, or go hun.
cry altogether. Science they had
none; no written language, nor the
least conception of any mode of com
municating thought but by oral
speech
Government was oppressive; lands
products and occupants all belonged to
the chiefs and the king. A system Of
taboo safeguarded the power of these;
it was taboo and death for common
man to let his shadow fall upon q
chief, or to stand when the kings

Hawaiians Still Worshiping Devils.
Even more serious, to my mind, was
the charge made by Prof William T.
Brigham, director of the famous Bish-
op Museum of Polynesian objects, in
Honolulu. Prof Brigham has spent
lifetime in the study of South Sea Is
land history, manners and customs.
He declared to me that the work of
the Characterization and civilization of
the Hawaiian people has been alto
gether superficial, and that, if the
whites were to move out tomorrow
the native would be found restoring
his old affairs and worship the very
next day.
AS proof Of this he said that he had
recently found a native Judge in one
of the Honolulu courts-I think he
said a United States court-worship-
ing at an old native altar in one of
the remote parts of the Island of Oahu.
Within a stones throw of the Bishop
museum, where we were talking, was
a broken down altar, which, at the
time of the political overthrow in 1898,
was reestablished, along with some
what general recrudescence of idola
try throughout the islands. Within
three months, he further said, in the
city of Honolulu itself, a native priest
had fallen dead while conducting
heather rites before the altar. The
worshipers, fearful that the devi
would catch them also. quickly

For a careful woman, who always
has bandages on hand, there is moth.

a number of these little rolls can be
put into q one-quart sized jar and

Beware Of Paper BAGS.

Never store food, for any length OF

such bags is manufactured from
coarse and dirty rags, which are, how.

sterilized during manufacture, but the
paste with which the bags are stuck
is usually of the coarsest description.
Good tins, or earthenware or glass

The Whistler Butterfly.

Whistler's earlier Thames etchings had
no butterfly signatures; the first appeared
in 1859, relates Otto Bacher, the New YORK
artist who lived and worked much with
Whistler in Venice, in his Stories OF
Whistler" in the May Century. He goes
on to relate that an early signature OF this
description is to be found on THE Fur
Jacket" In 1.-THE Harmony in Flesh-Color
and Green" are two butterflies lowering
over his own; in "Battersea" one is paint
ed white against a dark background.
Later signatures" Mr.. Bacher says,
"resembled the butterfly as we know 1t

Whistler lived in the Casa J~ankovitz. One
day he found a scorpion, and impaled II

MOTHERS GARDEN.
From Mothers Magazine

EIoil y .
A writer in What to Eat makes a
plea for the return to the old-fash-
Toned garden that mother supervised
and the children kept. There Is dis
cipline, education, love, duty and re-
ligion in such IA garden for mother and
child. l care little how small he patch
of ground may be, plant it to something
and teach the child how to care for the
growths. We worry much about pure
foods. They are at the doors OF all
who can have a garden, il only they
knew 1t. Till the soil to make 1t pro-
duce food. Invite the children to study
books that teach the care of the soil
and how to raise food. Show them that
gardening when understood Is not
drudgery, but a healthful delightful
work. 1t is easy to lead the minds OF
most children along this way, for they
love the fresh air, the turning OF the
soil and the care of growths. Step by
step AXE the children into the writ
ings of John Muir. Of John Burroughs,
of Luther MISUNDERSTANDING which the
children can understand. They will see
gardening and plan cultivation in a
new light. There is something more
h a this also. The effort may lead the
child through it's natural tastes into a
permanent and profitable life occupa-
ton. We complain much. / fear, at not
knowing what to do with the children
when they fill the house with noise.
The panacea TO my mine is in the gar
den, n l would take them to that
garden through the delightful books
and pictures on the subject that now
fill every public library OF note. Gar
dening is one of the first sciences man
mastered. 1t is yet the backbone OF
prosperous Germany, Holland and
France. 1t was the most profitable
pleasure of early New England days.
With our many unused acres in the
west let us return to it, for the love
of the child whom we wish 10 come into
masterful life clean of hand and pure
of mind"
