Pests of Spring,
The spring. upon os, and begot

here you may learn how to exter-
minate unwelcome visiture in •the
shape of ants, beetles, moths, sings,
and the like. Nut a pleasant task
alwaya, but it has to be done, and
it's the woman's priyilege, to thi itt
Ants.-Darep eponge., and
sprinkle it with sugar. Place it
wherever the ants are, and you will
fled it will soon become choked with
them. Plunge it into a gallipot full
oF boiling water, slime and clean it,
and reset until there are no ants
left, Camphor on a Ingler ,shelf
will always keep ants away from
these parts.
' Red ante are very /mete. Smear
a plate with lard, and place some
calcite fur the insecte to crawl up.
When you have a, plateful, hold if;
over the fire till they drop in. Re-
peat until no more ants appear.
Cockroaches. --As with beetles, it
is better not to "Move these on" -
which turpentine poured into their
holes would do -but to tempt them
out, to destruction, Place two or
three basins or •t ins half full of eold
water and a little trea,cle, on the
ground, and arrange sticks for -them
to climb up. There will be a full
watery grave next morning. When
you seem to have caught every one,
pour a strong eolution of alnin and
boiling water into the crevices of
the boards.
Mottos -Prevention is nosch .eas-
ier than cure 1 Once these teigors
have obtained a footing in a gar-
ment, etc., there are two remediea
which may be tried. One is to bake
the garmen•ts, and then thoroughly
beat them. The other is to sponge
them with a solution of acetate of
potash in .spirits of rosemary, 15
grains to the pint. Turps, camphor,
sheets of newspaper, etc., are all
good moth preventives.
Mice. -Apart from cats and traps,
.11 oil of pepPermint is squieted
about and into their holes, the mice
will depart elsewhere. Not de-
stroyed, you see, only banished.
Slugs, the amateur gardener's
peat, can be exterminated by col-
lectiou. Cut a turnin in slices, and
place it about the flower -beds in
the evening. to out later, and col-
lect for destruction the dozens of
slugs on the slicee. A cabbage -leaf
• at -neared with dripping -not salted
-is even better. Repeat occasion-
ally during the slug season,
Fleas. -There are advertised pow-
ders which are quite effective, but
a certain method of banisthing these
little pests is to boil an ounce of
quassia in water, add that to 'a
bucket of warm water, and then on
"turning -out" day scrub all the
woodwork in the bed -room with
earbolie soap and the quassia wa-
ter. There will be no more fleas.

ground a,nd cutting will be done
there as fast as the rotigh material
can be delivered. As each stone is

the wall.
The structure will cost at least
$300,000, This money will come
mostly from tithing eenb to head-
quarters at Utah, and the contrac-

building will be the fleet to be
ereeted on British soil and the first
outakle of the Med States, The
Salt Lake Temp e cost $4,000,000,
and was 45 years in building. The
other 'Utah temples, Monti, St.

ithoat $3,000,000. Material at the
time they 'Were erected wa,s very
costly and transportation difficult:
It is stated by the •authorities to -clay
that as good betiding can be done
today for about one-third of, the
cost. So it would seem that the
Canadian Temple will compare fav-
orably with any of the Utah struc-
tures outside the great Salt bake

There are in Canada to -day close
to 10,000 Mormons, and the C'ard-
