To Exterminate Ants-Wring out a
sponge in a solution of sugar and
water and put on plate in room in
tested with the insects. Very soon ii
will be filled with ants and may be
plunged into boiling water to get rid
of them and may be used again in the
same way.
Keep the wax coated boxes in which
crackers are packed, for they make
excellent polishers for irons instead of
little blocks of paraffine wax, generally
used.
To produce brilliant light a pinch of
salt may be put into the lamps when
they are filed with oil; will cause
them to burn more brightly.
Rubbing lamp chimneys with salt
after washing them gives them a sur
prising brightness.
Paint on cloth or wooden substances
can be readily removed by chloroform.
Keep the chloroform bottle well corked
while rubbing, as it evaporates rap
idly.

Big Sales Copper Reported.

Eastern information last weel stated that the deliveries of copper for August and September arc ex pected to equal, if not exceed the July rate of 75,OOO,OOO pounds, for there have been large sales of the metal for delivery in these two months. Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, and the American Metal company were large sellers of copper at F 7-8 cents In fact, the former concern sent a man throughout Connecticut last month contracting for large blocks of copper at F 7-S cents for delivery up to October l, and made larger sales at this price than was generally supposed. The American Metal company likewise made large sales at this figure.
 A Boston exchange says: We hear of the purchase of a number of mil lion pounds of copper by a large New England copper wire manufac- turing concern for September and October delivery. This same con- cern recently purchased 100000 pounds of copper for July, August and September delivery at 12 7S cents and is now consuming the met al at the rate of about 8,000,000 pounds per month.

Ore Samples Require Additional Postage
 Under Late Ruling.

A Washington dispatch says: By a recent ruling of the postoffice depart ment, samples of ore sent through the mails to assayers will draw the straight letter postage of ? cents an ounce where the name of the metal for which the ore is to be assayed ap- pears on the outside of the envelope.
 For the past thirty years assayers have been receiving regulation assay envelopes from miners and prospectors with the words "assay for" printed on the outside and the name of the metal written in. These metals have been taking the fourth-class rate of 1 cent an ounce and it was not until recently that it was discovered that the law regarding fourth-class matter dId not cover this case. Assayers have been instructed that in the future such mail will be considered frst-class matter, sealed or unsealed d if the name of the metal for which the assay was to be made appeared on the envelope.

Latest Life Saving Device for Miners.

A dispatch dated from Washington
 on August 20th, says:
 Within a short while device will be within reach of every miner, at . cost of 50 cents, which will maintain
 life for at least half an hour after an explosion from gas in the mine in
 which he is working. It is expected this will be the means of saying J thousands of lives.
 The invention is the work of Clar- ence Hall, explosive expert of the Geological Survey, who is in charge of the experimental explosives sta tion at Pittsburg. MT. Hall, who has just left Washington for Pittsburg, describes his invention as follows:
 "The respiratory as it may be two cans, with a device to conform to the shape of the face, through which the fresh air is inhaled and the breath exhaled. In the bottom can is quantity of sodium peroxide and in the top can a certain amount of water. The water when the ap- paratus is in use is allowed to drip, drop by drop, on the sodium peroxide, creating a gas which gives off free oxygen. A water jacket surrounds the lower can to keep it from be- coming too hot from the chemical reaction.
 "The residue in the bottom can be- comes pure lye, which absorbs the poisonous breath, or barcon dioxide, the air which we all exhale. This device, capable of maintaining life for at least half an hour, is ot such size that it may be put in the miners pocket.
 "As the result of investigations, I have found that after explosions in mines, miners have been found on their hands and knees, with their fingers and knees torn and bleeding. This is the result of the instinct for which is strong in us all, the miners knowing that the strength of the poisonous gases on IHC HUI Oi IAC mihC 10 huOu ASSS than at the ceiling of the tunnel.
 "When they display such presence of mind in such an exciting moment, there is no doubt they would use this new device and thus be able to walk in an upright position, and in many cases reach the cage at the outlet of the mine and thus escape.
 "As I invented this while in the employ of the government, I will not take out a patent, and hope that within a short time it will be manu- factured so that miners can purchase it for at most half a dollar"
