1t seems quite plausible when she
tells about exterminating moths and
flies with it. To exterminate moths
she says to ~saturate an old sheet
with formaldehyde, and hang it in
the closet first stopping up all cracks
and keyholes, 1t is to be left for
twenty-four hours. To exterminate
flies she says to put two teaspoons
fuls Of formaldehyde in a pint of
water, pour it into sauce and set
1t where flies c~ongregate. Flies are
attracted and drink the water, where
some Of them die at once. Others
get out but do not get very far and
they a be swept up and burned.

The horn book invented in 1450 and
used considerably up to the close of
the eighteenth century was the usual
textbook of the elementary school. A
thin slab of hard wood was covered
with parchment, on which were print
ed the capital and small letters, nu.
merals and some elementary sylla-
bles and words.
Over this thin sheet of transpar.

bound so that no moisture could pen

stitched the letters of the alphabet.
