About Moths.
It is an old subject, the subject of moths,
but from now till the middle of April, the
moth lays her eggs and hatches the grub
into its devastating feed season of from one
to three weeks, to the period of its cocoon
stage. It is well to remember that the
moth never destroys woolens ; itis the worm.
It is well to remember that camphor and
all the other vile odors in the world will
never protect in the least.
If a woman puts a garment away that has
so much as one moth egg a ton of camphor
won't prevent that egg from hatching, if
there's any hatch about it. The only way
to preserve a garment'froni the ravages of
the moth is to be absolutely sure in the
first place that a moth has laid no eggs in
it, and this is not easy to discover, because
with the mother instinct it creeps in dark
crevices, the more obscure the better, and
its eggs are as small as the _point of a pin.
It coats these eggs, or incrusts them with
a covering, and you might beat and boat the
garment and not in the slightest degree
hurts the eggs. Now you can put the gar-
ment away in a camphor chest and heap a
ton of camphor on the top -of it, yet if one
of these eggs hatches a worm, that worm
will start in to feed.
The only way to be sura that none of
these eggs are put away in a garment is to
keep the garment out under constant sur-
veillance for two or three weeks before put-
ting it away, and in that time any newly
hatched worm will develop into a size that
can be readily aeon. Once a garment is ab-
solutely free of the egg or the worm, it can
then be tied up in a paper parcel, or any-
thing else that will keep the living moth
out, with perfect impunity, for a moth will
never bore its way into anything.
Glove Mending.
It is wall to have a little basket purpose.
ly for gloves that have come to mending,
filled with tan, gray and black silk, or cot-
ton thread—for just lately cotton has come
into vogue for glove mending ; many claim-
ing that it is less apt than silk to cut the
hid, while it wears off and matches the color
mora perfectly. According to Good House-
keeping'there should also be in the basket a
paper of assorted glove needles, a bit of wax
and a box of the tiny buttons which have
been saved from worn-out gloves. as well as
pieces of gloves of different colors. It is
always advisable to buy gloves of the best
quality and then to carefully put them in
shape, straightening the fingers, before put-
ting them away after wearing ; being sure
that they aro not damp 'with perspiration,
sprinkling the inside with violet powder':if
there is the least trace of it. otherwise you
may find your gloves mildewed, and wonder
how they came to be so. A pair of gloves
treated in this way, kept in good repair,
with the smallest rip properly mended,
will last nearly as long again. The best
way to mend button -holes that have a tend-
ency to stretch or tear is to baste on the
inside—with a fine needle always—a bit of
kid the color of the gloves. Carefully
stitch down the edges, stretching both patch
and gloves alike, and then securely fasten
the button -holes to it—cutting incisions of
the proper size and sewing to the button-
holes. If the seams in the back are torn
out, a piece may be put under and so care-
fully sewed that it will not show. A worn
thumb or forefinger may be patched with a
bit of another glove, and thus made to 110
duty as shopping gloves for some time. Silk
lisle thread or woolen gloves, if taken when
first beginning to show wear, can be neatly,
darned and aro much more serviceable for
everyday purposes of life than cheap kid.
In the Kitchen.
QUEEN Bass Feminism —Take one teaspoon.
of salt, one cup of suet, three cups of flour,
one egg, one cup of stoned raisins, one cup
of currants, three teaspoons of baking pow-
der ; steam steadily for two hours. It can
then stand back and simmer any length of
time you choose to leave it.
DRESSED GOODS.—Boil until hard half a
dozen eggs, and when cold take off the shells,
cut the eggs in half and take out the yolks.
Mash the yolks, season then with salt, pep-
per and mustard, and mix with some boiled
ham chopped fine. Then fill the whites with
this, and set these halves in the oven to
brown.
To KEEP JAMS FROM MOULD. —eta pienes
writing paperthe-sizeof interior of pot and
another one and one-half inches larger. Coat
one side of each of these pieces of paper with
the white of an egg ; place the smalls on
top with coated side up and the large piece
coated side down over the mouth
press it upon the edges and the coating will
leave it to adhere to the pot.
CARROT SOUP.—Put three ounces of but.
ter into a saucepan, and, as it melts,' add a
large onion, finely chopped four ounces of
lean ham, cut in tiny dice; two table-
spoons
of chopped celery and the red
of twelve carrots, grated. Stew over a
moderate fire, stirring frequently, until the
vegetables acquire a nice color; then add two
quarts of well -flavored stock and simmer for
about two hours. Skim carefully, pass the
soup and as much vegetable as possible
through a seive, pressing the pulp through
with the back of a wooden spoon. Sea-
Season with cayenne and salt, reheat and
serve with toasted dice of bread.
FRIFD POTATOES. —The reason why in
private families, fried potatoes are not a
success is because they are not properly
dried before putting them into the fat, They
should always be, dried in a clean cloth after
they are sliced. A cook says that it is beta:
ter to fry them twice, in this way ; Get the
fat properly hot ;..then put in the potatoes
either in slices, chips or ribbons, a few at
a time, and let them cook till tender, but
'not colored, and then set them on a sheet of
kitchen paper, in a warm corner, to drain.
Whorl required for use, reboil the fate till
hot enough to color them at once, plunge
thein in again, a few, at a time, and fry
again for a minute or two, until crisp and
a nice golden brown. Drain; sprinkle with
a little fine salt and serve. Fat boils at a
hig,lier temperature than water, so it is
best to test it before putting anything into
it. The fat for frying the patatoes the first
time not be as hot as for the second, when
they should be coloredalmost at once.
'Murrrss.—Tho amateur muffin maker
must be prepared for some failures at the
outset, as snecosS in this matter depends
mostly on " knack." The muffins must be
baked on iron plates previously heated,
Sift four pounds of good flour, and mix it
into a smooth batter with the necessary
quantity of milk and water. Dissolve in
some milk and water, heated to about nine-
ty degrees Fahrenheit, two ounces of yeast,
one ounce of sugar and three-fourths of an
ounce of salt. Work it hurt the batter for
about ten minutes. The dough will then
be ready to set before the fire. Cover it up
in a breadpan, let it rise well, beat it up
again for about ten minutes and let it rise
again, Now, break off pieces of dough and
form them into muffin shape on a board,
sprinkle with flour, cover with a warm
blanket and put then before the fire. When
they have risen to double their thickness,
slip each one onto a heated iron plate, and
put at once into the oven, When the under
side of the muffins are slightly browned,
turn them over and bake the other side the
same, All the last part of the process must
be accomplished as rapidly as possiblej so
that the dough does not get chilled.
To SET A T.YDLE.—Breakfast being the
plainest meal of the day, the arrangement
of the table should always be simple, writes
Marie Parloa in her domestic department
in the February Ladies' Home Journal.
The cloth should be spotless. At each
person's seat place a knife, fork, teaspoon
or dessertspoon, tumbler and napkin, and if
fresh fruit is to bo served, a finger and
if
there be no servant. If you have a wait-
ress, she will place the finger bowls on as
you finish with the fruit. If fresh fruit be
served there must also be placed at each.
seat a fruit knife and plate. The knivesand
spoons should be placed at the right and the
forks and napkins at the left ; the tumblers
to be at the point of the knives. There
should be space between the knife and fork
for a breakfast plate. Have the dish of fruit
in the center of the table. Have a tray
cloth at each end of the table. Spread little
butter plates at the top of cacti plate. If
individual salt and pepper bottles be used,
place them at the side of each plate. If
large ones place then] at the corners of the
table. Put four tablespoons on the table,
either in two corners, or beside the dishes
that they will be used in serving. Put the
carving knife and fork at the head of the
table and the cups and saucers, sugar and
cream, coffee-pot, hot water bowl, etc., and
the mush dishes at the other end,.
Spring -Time Hints.
Do not be in haste to take down the
stoves and get the house-cleaning done.
Fires are almost as necessary during the
damp days of April and May as in mid-
winter. Usually all we need is a little
heat to dispel the dampness and start a free
circulation of air; and right hero is whore
the economical housewife may save several
dollars' worth of fuel by the use of a little
care and thought. Instead of taking up all
the ashes before starting a fire, pack them
down tight, then with a poker make a small
hole down to the grate in front ; drop in a
few kindlings, and light ; add coal or other
fuel gradually. In this way a fire may be
kept up all day with less fuel than would
be required to start a fire in an empty stove.
Any one who has had experience with fires
knows that unless the stove is kept nearly
full the fire will go out. But a stove full
of fuel is unnecessary at this time of the
year. One can snake a brisk fire in one end
of the cook -stove to boil the tea -kettle and
do little cooking if the other enil of the
stove is kept full of ashes and. cinders.
No woman likes to be behind her neighbors
with her spring cleaning. But there are
better ways of hurrying the work along than
by taking down stoves and taking up car-
pets. The closets should be cleaned first,
and clothing which needs repairing or mak-
ing over attended too, Tarte an inventory
of the stock of clothing and bedding on
hand, then you can know what new material
you will need. If you have a good deal of
cutting to do get your cloth and patterns
together and take a day for cutting. You
will then have only one litter to clear up.
If von have time and materials for a rug or
a fe v pieces of fancy work, finish them up
and put them away till the room they are
intended for is cleaned. It gives a room an
air of freshness to have something uew in
it; no natter how simple.
Before beginning a big job of house-clean-
ing, plan all the meals you will have to get
during the campaign ; do as much baking
and cooking as possible, wash up a good lot
of potatoes; in short, have everything
ready, and the family will scarcely know
that they are enduring a "seige."
Patch Work.
Very few writers on household topic now
commend the making of pztchwork and it
is therefore especially noticeable that a con.
tributes of " Good Housekeeping " conser-
vatively says, " There is nothing better
than good, home-made comfortables and
quilts. Nothing really takes their place.
One can buy fresh, sweet cotton and pretty
prints, or cream or tinted cheese cloth, and
make bedclothes that are wholesome and
can be easily washed. I must confesa ,, co
being old-fashioned enough to like bedgnilts,
and to believe that while it is folly to buy.
calico and tear it into bits for the sake of
sewing together again, that it is yet a plea-
sant pastime, a trifle of economy and a very
satisfactory occupation to take the pieces of
cambric and gingham which have aoeumu-
luted, cut them in blocks sew 'together on
the machine, and make bed -quilts of them.,
When these quilts are linedwith some fresh,
clean -patterned calico, with one layer of
cotton batting between, and lightly quilted
and neatly bound, they are joy to the thrifty
housekeeper's eyes ; they are easily washed,
and on a hot summernight are infinitely
preferable to stuffy blankets. Nor is it quite
clear that there is anything reprehensible
in making elaborate patch -work bed -quilts.
They are more useful than half the fancy
work that encumbers houses, and if much of
the petty gossip and idle tittle-tattle' of
society found vent in "rising sun' and
" Trish chain" bed -quilts, I am not sure but
that it would be it good thing."

ASLEEP FOR NINE YEARS..
A Young Woman Who Dosed Oto in i8S3
Still Steeping.
A remarkable case of suspended anima-
tion, of scientific interest, is referred to in an
issue of the English Mechanic. The sleeper
is a young woman named Marguerite Boyen-
val, of the village of Thenelles, in France,
who fell into a cataleptic condition on May
29, 1883, since which day she has never
shown the slightest sign of returning con-
sciousness. When the actual nature of this
profound sleep was realized by her medical
attendants from the non-success which at-
tended all efforts to awaken the young wo-
man, attention was given to sustaining life.
As the jaws were rigidly fixed, it was found
to be impossible to introduce food into the
stomach, and injections of nourishment.
were resorted to.
During these nine years she has been free
from all cares of life, without thought or
motion, consequently there has been no ap-
parent waste of muscular or nervous tissue.
The hand of time seems to have spared this
unconscious sleeper, no change has taken
place in her countenance, she appears no
older to -day than when she tell asleep nine
years ago at the age of twenty-five. During
this time the growth of hair and nails has
completely ceased ; the joints have become
quite stiff through disuse, to such an extent
that the arms, if raised, will remain in that
position for an indefinite period.
The eyes are turned upward, so that the
pupils are entirely out of sight on opening
the eyelids. The lips, when moved apart,
seem to lack the elasticity necessary to re-
turn spontaneously to their original posi tion.

which seemed to prove that for a few weeks
at least, birds of certain species are apt to

wood at the river shore, and came across
