Traps for Mosauitoes.

An ingenious night trap for mos quitoes Is described in Chambers Journal, which asserts that it has proved highly successful under exact ing tests:
 Recourse has been made to the lum- inous paint which was invented some years ago by pr. W. H. Balmain, and improved very considerably by w. c. Horne who has been engaged in it's manufacture for thirty years. The sa- ltent feature of this luminous paint is that no phosphorus is used. The mos- quito trap is a short, glass cylinder about six inches in length and one inch in diameter, the interior surface of which Is coated with the Balmain com pound and the ends sealed The out CT surface of the glass is then coated with an adhesive substance similar to that spread on fly papers, and the tube is suspended by means of a string to some convenient place. Exposure to daylight causes the Balmain paint to collect and store natural light. which Is thrown off in the dark. The paint steady glow attracts the insects very effectively, and as no heat is emitted the mosquitoes settle upon the glass and are trapped by the adhesive The or it may be removed every morning for cleaning, when it Is only necessary to take a small piece of wood-a thick match will do-and scrape off the in sects. applying a fresh dressing of the adhesive from the tube in which it is carried.

Twice a year we engage a seamstress for a month. each having her for two days out of the week, the others caring for her children, so all the time may be given to the work.
