Moths and flames are universally
connected. yet few people suspect that
danger could arise therefrom. The
insects are Of such frail structure that
generally they get destroyed before 1t
Is possible for them to infiict injury,
and 1t is hardly credible that the wings
would ignite and retain the flame long
enough to enable the moth to fly to it's
surroundings.
That. however. has occurred. The
moth was a very large one and its
wings must have been very dry, SO
that when It fioundered through the
flame 1t set fire to one wing and darted
onto a curtain nearby. which at once
Jared up. It is possible that many
summer evening fires in the country
could be attributed to source OF this
kind. 1t is notorious that mysterious
Hres often arise at sunset in the hot
months.-Strand Magazine.

Thought Town Had Moved.

About eight miles from Lebanon,
Pa, lives an old German farmer, who
makes brooms and brushes and car.
ries them to town on wheelbarrow.
He generally gets good price for his
brooms. and on one occasion got a
larger cargo Of beer on board than
was good for him, so that 1t was quite
late when he started home.
About six miles from town there Is
sort Of tavern, and here Fritz
stopped. He left his wheelbarrow
around so that 1t faced the other way.
Fritz came out fuller than before,
took the handles and started back for
town. 1t was daylight when he got
there and recognized his surroundings,
and 1t took full hour to convince him
that the town was not moved out into
the country.

FERNS As A PaEsERvArIvs.
Leaves Are Excellent for Keeping Food
Fresh and Sweet.

The housekeeper who Is ever on the
alert for new wrinkles in keeping food
fresh and sweet, should test for her.
sell the power Of fern leaves as a pre-
sentative.
The consul general at Frankfort Is
responsible for the statement that
ferns keep meat. fruit, butter and fish
In good condition longer than grape
leaves, straw. or any other packing
medium.
They are much used to bring prod
uce to the English markets and the
Manxmen use them entirely to pack
fresh herring for shipment.
The high percentage of salt in the
ferns appears TO be responsible for
their preservative qualities; and the
strong odor Of the leaves wards of
maggots and prevent early decay
This is a good time for the house
keeper, who lives in the country
where ferns are plenty and where
food must be stored in quantities, to
try this remedy for herself.
Potatoes and apples packed In ferns
aio saiu W keep many months longer
than If stored in any other way. The
garden vegetables, which are usually
covered with straw until needed can
have fern leaves put over them in
stead Even fresh meat can he
wrapped in them and kept longer
without spelling.
II one fears to try AL OF her produce
TO an article known only by hearsay,
experiment can be made with both
mediums. Pack most of your things In
the usual way, but reserve a little of
each kind for the fern treatment
For fair test the fruit or vegetable
should be from the same stock, gath.
cred at the same time, and packed un.
der equal conditions of temperature.
