To bolt a Trunk.
A great convenience for packing lie a
shoe -wrap. Qua should have as many of
them 118 there are pairs of boots and rdiPlterli
Io 8% It is siMply a keellare eit brown hol-
and or stout grey silesna !half a yard each
Way. A narrow hein is made all round and
feather-stieolied with a dolor or lighter
eolor. At one corner is firmly pewn on to
the outside a yard of braid or tape in Ouch
a way that when stretched out one end goes
beyond tlae diagonally opposite corner of the
square. The shoes are then laid together,
sdiefi out, near the diagonal corner and then
rolled tightly, the other two corners being
turue /a ; the one where the tape is sewn
roma a outside and the tape mey then be
wou ound and round and firmly tied.
The a ue never come out and they take up
half the room in packing that they would
wrapped in paper or pnt in loosely. .
There are ;rood packers and bad pankers
and those who throw everything in helter-
skelter, who cannot be called packers at all.
The good ouete are doubtless born so, yet
much may be /earned from experience.
The hardest packing is the leaving home
when the many things needed are scattered
all over the house. If the traveller has sev
eral dive for preparation it is well to take
one corner of the room where the trunka
stand and there to accumulate the clothing
and other things that are to be carried.
Bverything being ready the work begins.
Pint lay at the bottom of the trunk a ()loth
or towel, and then put in first shoes, books
and other herd and heavy articles. Try to
keep an even layer, filling up creeks and
eorners with stockings, woolen underveste
and other small objects that may be rolled
up tight without injury. Dress skirts
should be folded the length of the trunk,
and that they may not appear crumpled
when taken out ahould have a roll of news-
paper laid in the folds. Hate and bonnets
go of course in the tray or box. They may
have laces, neck frills, gloves and worsted
hoods lead inside and around them, but no
heavy thing should come near them.
After the trunks conies the hand -bag or
valise, and here let me warn the inexperi-
enced traveler to leave only the necessaries
for this; enough articles will probably be
found after the trunks are looked and there
is no time zo open them, to fill up the bag.
A dressing -bag ie a great convenience.
The simpler the better. It may be made of
(mane, brown holland or kitchen towelling,
and be as pretty as one could wish, with
light braid, feather. stitching and cross .stitch-
ed initiale. It ehould have pockets for
comb, brushes, hair pins, a littleeleaf of aerie
nel sewed on for needles and pins, and
should contain sleeve and glove buttons,
thimble, thread, a boot buttoner and pair
of scissors, besides such other things as
would gadfly occur to any one on looking
at her tresethg table. It ieasiest to roll
it togeth r lengthwise and tie with tapes
s
sewed on to the back. It is an excellent
plan to put everything in its place in the
dressing -bag some days before leaving home
and to use it as if already travelling, then
anyth,ing needed oan be easily supplied.

War on Roaches.
Tile common household cookroach came
to England from the Levant in ship cargoes,
and by the same means made a voyage to
this continent. It has increaaed to numbers
of infinite proportions in seaport cities, and
in some others. It is an intolerable nui-
sance in New York and some other cities,
se and it penetrates to every building and
every part thereof where it can follow water
pipes, not only in dwellings, but in offices
and stores. There are men who make a
business of going about and ridding houses
of these pests ; but, do their work as
thoroughly as they may, they can give only
temporary relief, for the horde soon again
intrudes and takes up its abode.
A constant warfare mustbe waged against
these insects if much relief is to be had from
them ; lent, though you blow Persian in-
sect -powder at them until the floor is cover-
ed with the slain in a few days the opera-
tion can be repeated. People learn to diem.
gard theee insects after long familiarity with
them, and in many New York kitchens
little notioe is taken of thorn, for they are
shy bugs and scamper away at the appretech
of those who are not members of their
• elan.
These bugs are almost omnivorous. They
will eat flour, bread, meat, and even cloth-
ing and shoes. They usually forage on
crumbs and the various droppings and
wastes of the kitchen, and, if they did not
insist upon being so numerous where they
are not wanted, they would be considered
_ good scavengers. Their favotite time for
depredation is the night; but, emboldened
by numbers and familiarity with the lawful
occupants of the house, they venture out by
daylight, especially in roots and corners
where tho light is dim.
Roach eggs are laid in a bean-shaped cap-
sule, three-eighths of an inch long and half
as wide, and about thirty in each. These
sacks are dragged around by the females
• wherever they go. After a few days the
pod opens and lets out the little roaches,
now soft and white, and, after three or four
days, they turn brown and are ready for
business.
• ,The roaches make phemselves disagreeable
by discharging from their mouths a dark -
colored liquid with an offensive odor. In
the course of time the plaoes frequented by
them become impregnated with the odor,
which is sometimes so powerful that food
is tainted with it. But the roach inid ene
redeeming virtue, it is said, and that is his
appetite for bed -bugs. .
Pyrethrum, also called Persian insect -
powder, is sure death to roaches, but is not
poisonous to man. It is prepared from the
flower of a plant. Powdered borax is also
said to be a good deetroyer of roaches, or at
least to b sufficient to drive them away
from the laces where it is scattered.
Home Cooking.

Bad Writing,
There is a growing tendency to encourage
handsome and legible handwriting, and
there was need of it ; for among some of the
older genera.tious the handwriting has some-
times been a puzzle, and, as in the follow-
ing instance, empable of being constructed
according to the reader's pleasure :-
Daring the war a quantity of personal
property belonging to a resident of Wash-
ington was seized and confisoated by the
United States.
For years the original owner made repeat-
ed attempts to secure an order for its res-
toration from the quartermaster who had
charge of it. But he was obdurate, and
insisted that it should be restored only
through an Act of Congress. Still the at-
torney for the plaintiff persisted, and again
he wrote to the Qaarterma,ster-General
Megis for an order of reatoration.
This was about the seventh attempt, and
the officer had grown impatient He wrote
an exceedingly vigorous reply, in which he
emphatically refused te do as requeated.
The handwriting was frightful.
The attorney saw his canoe. He hasten-
ed to his client, and, thrusting the letter to
him, said, "1 have sueeeeded at last. Here
is the order."
The "order" was taken to the corral,
where the officer in charge recognized the
signature and at once turned over the pro-
perty,
When General Meigs aeked what had be-
come of it, he was told that it had been re-
stored on his order. He saw the order, and
as he could not read it, he siply said, "1
do not remember Signing it." -The Argo-

Be sure to air the houae well. Don't let
ancient dinner odors linger about the hall

unpleasantly saluted by stale odors the mo-
ment he enters.
A Monster Disappearing Gun.
The largest gun that has ever been mount-
ed 00 a disappearing carriage was fired on
Tuesday at t Messrs. Armstrong's proof
range as Silloth. The gun and its carriage
had been manufactured at Elswick for the
Government at Victoria and forties part of a
conaiderable order "given to Messrs. Arm-
strong by the Australian Colonies, the dis-
appearing system having been adopted by
them Governmente for eblonial ocast de-
fence. The gun is under ordinary circum-
stances hidden entirely from view in a pit,
and is raised into firing position by the ac-
tion of compressed air working in a cylinder,
thus only remaining exposed to the enemy'a
fire for a few seconds. The force of recoil
on firing is used for compreasing the air so
that the gun itself supplies the energy for
raising it. An arrangement of mirrore al-
lows of its being accuratelysighted in the

charges of 260 pounds of black prismatic
powder were fired, and afterward seveiritl
rounds with a charge of 280 pounds of brown
prismatic powder for the purpose of testing
the range and accuracy of the gun. The
projectile weighs 500 pounds, and the veloc-
ity obtained was 1,950 feet per second.

Ries May Graybiel, one of the mission•
&dee sustained in India by the scot la:WWII
as Disoiplee, writes very interesting letters
to her family:in this oity, pays the BuffalO
Courier. It is now over four yeare sines she
went to Ilinclostan, in company with the
Rev. Mr. Warton, formerly of the Chorch of
Christ, and his wife. The place at which
Miss Gra,ybiel is now located is in the very
heart of India, On the Hue of the railroad
which is to be built from Bombay directly
across to Calcetta. The childreu of the
SuTlay echools of the denomination in the
United States contributed a fund of some
14,060 with which to erect a house for thy
mission, and in her last letter she modestly
tells how the work was done. It appeare
that she had to serve as architect, master -
builder and general boss rneelianio. First she
bought four yoke of buffalos to do the team-
ing, then a few big trees -they are very
scarce in that part of the country. She em-
ployed a hundred natives, or nearly that
number, !ahem she taught to quarry the
stone, whioh had to be hauled several miles;
and to make brick, first tramping the Clay,
fashioning it into the bricks, and then burn-
ing them, using the spare portion of the
trees for fuel. The trunks of the trees were
laboriously by hand sawed into boards for
the floors, roofs oto. A stone foundation
three feet thick' was laid three feet below
ground and as lunch above. this solid base
wall being deemed neoessary to keep out the
white ants, whieh are a great pest of the
country. Evioently a good job was made
of the wall, for Miss Greybiel ingenuously
relates that an Englishmen visitor enquired
who had been the engineer, and expressed
muoh surprise when told that she had direot-
ed the work herself. It takea a Buffalo girl
to hold her own arnongheathen, or anywhere
ohm. incidentally Miss Graybiel states that
the son of a German missionary living some
forty miles distant was killed b
She attended the funeral, making the jeer:
ney through the solidjungle in a cut drawn
by a pair of buffalos, with the °hawse of
being sprung upon by that or some other
tiger at any moment. Such is life in the
wilds of Hindostan.

en my pleasing duty to take the chair at our annual
' general meeting, and to make eome remarks on the
position of the Company and its progress, but never,
In its history, have we had such a splendid ehowiog
as that tor 1e87 which has just been read. The state -
merit is so full, clear and conciee, that it seems to me
almoet minecessery to make any remarks toereon. It

hated assete in the short period of a few years to-
gether with a handeorne surplue. The notes1 increase
in our assets during the past year hes amounted to
the large sum of $120,508.19, while our Reserve Fund
has been increased by 8104 826, now reaching ties
handsome sum of 3116,511. These grand reunite have
been accomplished mainly by hoard, pereletent work on
the part of our aotive agent% on the field. The
splendid investment and other plane of ineurance of -
fared by this Company, all ot which have stood the test
of time, and have been endorsed by Oho tithed
authorides on this Coratinent, have been widely ap-
proved by leading professional men and others de -
airing to protect themeelves by the safeguards of life
Insurance oombined with an investment. The appli.
cations of the year have been of an unusually goad
character. 11 18 gratiiying to observe that so many
farmers, constituting as they do the largeet induatrial
internee in this country, are availing themselves so
largely of the great advantages of life insurance.
The Government °Kenai report shows that, in the
amount of our income, accumulated funds, new bud -
bees, insurance in force and addition to assete, weare
again considerably ahead of our chiet home competi-
tors at the same period In their history, and what fs
of more importance, the eost of our businees is atilt
kept within reasonable limits. Competition, both
from the United States, and also from the British
companies, was never keener than during the pest
year, and in many instances, prices were pidd for Me
business, which we madder exceseive. One word
about the excellent character of our assets. Our
Finance Committee have been very eareful in the
seleoteon of Investments, and it is a g real source of
congratulation to know that so successful have they
been in this reepect that there is not a single invest -
t
esti satiety that the Company will lose a single cent.
The Interest lean been wonderfully well paid, and the
income from that source has now reached n very
handsome figure, being in cash e23.718.72. and due
and accrued 86,018.23, which would leave more than
paid the leases of the year in the general branole. An
regarde our Company, I feel the utmost confidence in
recommending it to the consideration of every one
contemplating insurance, ae I fully believe there is no
company doing hi:einem Oanada to day that is bet-
ter prepared or more able to meet ita contracts than
this Company.
Hon. Alexander Morris,Vice-President, sold: I have
much pleasure in secondingehe motion of my old and
tried friend, the President, for the adoption:of the re-
port. The able address of thePresident has lett me very
little to do. It is impossible for any one to read and
study this report without feeling inteneely erratified.
Here is a home institution that trusted itself to the
public, that endeavoured to meet the wants of the
people, and the people have nobly rallied rcnnd it.
They have shown appreciation of the efforts of those
who desire to make lite insurance a home word and a
home institution. They have shown that they be -
neve in the benefits of life insurance, and the most
gratifying feature of the report alluded to by the
President, Is that thefarmers, upon whom everytb ing
I n this country reses in so great a degree, have begun
tO realble the benefite of life insurance, and are large-
ly taking advantage of ft, and 'of tbe opportunity
afforded them of making provision for their farailiee.
Dr. Thorburn, who gives the utmost attention to
the examioation of all applications received, and we
have the advantage, in addition, of the matured
wisdom of the President, who, I may state, is ia daily

power to this bueiness ; and aleo one of the best life
insurance men la Canada, your managing director,
