Tor the housekeeper lied to heavy stalionni y carpets the danger from moths Is much gi eater; e'.-peelully when tho house is closed for the summer. In this case the carpets, should be taken up, thoroughly bead a, then sprayed out of floors with benzine, and allowed to air for several hours before being leturned to tho lioois. Meanwhile, swnep and dust tin rooms, wipu down the. walls, wash the lloors with lint water, carefully clean- liier mil Ihr rr.'ieks. then fair.'iv tiiwlr.,. baseboaids and In cracks with kcroeiio or benzine.

The escaping steam will kill linth eggs and larvne, TO CAR 1 3 KOR JMJR8. Thero Ih a growing practice among pos sessors of handsome furs to send them for thn minimer ' tho large fur stores, nhero thoy nro put In cold storage, prop rly snfc'Kuarded from thieves and lire, and all thin for a comparatively small film. This Is a sensible. Idea, cspeclnlly if there Is any repairing of furs to bo at tended to. Not only ore the furriers' charge more moderate In the summer, when work Is slack, but there 1b no extra ptornge for tho furs. Still other thrifty souls claim that the cheapest, safest way to care for their furs is to take them to cmo of tho large pawn shops, whero they receive the best of carp and can bo leclalmed in the fall. For the great nm jotlty of women, however, who prefer to earn for their furs at home, u vigorous beating with a rattan furniture whip, a slender cane or slout switch Is the thing to con lure with. This is the advice given by the most reliable furriers and the method they themselves employ. Spread on a baro table, where the light Is good, and beat long and vigorously. This ills lodges the eggs as well as larvae. If furs or other garments are put uw.iy with the eggs already secreted, no amount of tar paper, cedar chips, tobacco or moth ball: will xuflieo to stay thn ravages of thn hungry nenly-h.itclicd larvae. After th whipping and airing (not In the sun, however, which Is disastrous to line seal), go over tliem witli a furrier's comb or whisk broom, brushing up and down. If soiled about the neck, get line white bird sand, heat In the oven until as hot as you cm bear your hand in It. then rub through tho fur up and down. When unite clean brush with a soft whisk. Ttitn pockets inside out and bru.'li care fully: then replace with little packagej of moth balls, cedar or camphor done up in tissue paper. Neither moth balls nor camphor should be laid In nct to the furs. Wrap them III tissue paper Ilr.-t. Now pack ill newspaper, boxes, paper bags, moth bags or new inttou cloth, whose odor liny also object to; then 1'iy unnolhly In boxes or barrels, also lined with heavy tar paper or el.-e layers; of newspaper. In packing these have all the heavier articles at the bottom, but each one plainly label, d with Its owner's name and the name of the article. After the box Is closed atllx a list uf contents to Its (over, where it can lie easily seen and contents notid without overhauling. A few bits of charcoal seatteied among the contents of a box that Is not to bo opened for some time will prevent the musty odor that fieitiently hovers over clothing from which the air has been long ex' ludeil. CI'IlOLSTHItKl) l'AH!tIAGi;.S AND I-RN1TURR Where ninth lined carriages and up holstered lurniture arc to lie left for tho summer, brush well, especially about the tufted portions, then spray generously with naphtha or benzine using, if you like, a small sptiiililcr such as is Usui lor houseplants. Neither naphtha nor ben zine will spot the most delicate fabrics, and the odor will pass in a few hours. Of course-, every one should understand that no light even from pipe or cigar, should be allowed while this work Is going on, is tho vapor fiom tlicso fluids Is exceedingly Inflammable. Tor oar rlagis it is we'll to repeat tho spraying again In June and August. After furni ture has been well sprnyert, wrap tho legs with soft paper and old muslin and cover the upholstered portions with tar paper, then old muslin which has pieces of camphor gum tied In at Inter vals. COCKROACHES OR WATERRUGS. While theo are sometimes designated aB "clean bugs," meaning that even tho most careful of housekeepers can never be sure of remaining immune from their catholic attentions, they are not to he encouragi el to remain. Then favorite habil.it is about the stationary tubs, around the water piles, kitchen boiler, sinks and pantry shelves. They, toe, lovu darkness and tho approach of light srnd-j them scurrying to envr. While roach salts and olhei patent feiods intended for then delectation ,ind conscepicnt Ininin. latlou ale moie or less etflraclous, there must lltft ol all bo scrupulous cleanli ness in the matter of crumbs, greasy pipes, and drains nnd foods left uncooked on tlie painty shelves. All unt barge ie. eeptarles must ho kept covered and Pussy's and Kale's plates be r.ire fully waithed at night. If there Is rnthltig to eat they that Is tho bugs-will seek more hospitable quarters. A very liberal u-o of gasoline or keio--.ene will hasten their flying feci, a elestroys rggn ns will as the lnincr ci'tiircs. It should bo pound atouuil sinks, Insebonrda and all thn runways they rrerjucnt most, and tho application Urpl up for several weeks, until It Is well borne hi upon tho water hue's comprehension that there Is noth ing doing for them In that particulaii house. Care must again ho exercised that no llame or lighted taper comes near tho places being treated. AN ANCIENT AND PIP HONOR A RLE SPECIMEN. The ment disgusting of all household pests Is the one piobabty rct'erred to u tho old English Uiblo of itfi, "Thou Hlialt not nede to bo alrald lor eny Rugges by night." A great promise this, If ouo has ever been obliged to take room for a night In hostelry whero they havo been allowed to multiply. While even tho neatest house keeper Is often obliged to suffer for tho carelessness of her neigh bniH, llieso bug Hlioiilil bo fought tooth and nail until routed, in many cases too they are believed to bioed In the wood, especially If of soft pine, in an apart ment house, they usually enter tho lower part first, then make their way up, There nra now In tho largo cities, accredited "hug killers," who guarantee to edear a house In a few days' time, and "no clear, no pay." Their first Btep Is to locate their special runway and (seal with com mon soap or other filler thut hardens. Then nil cracks, crevices, doors and win dows nro closed nnel certain disinfectants burned. After this them Is local treat ment In all cracks nnd crannies, This is said to be most effectual, For tho housekeeper again, thcro Is nothing better to fight with than kerosene. Apply with a machine oil can to the picture mouldings, cracks nnd crevices In heels, furniture nnd walls every second rtsy for a week. Wlpt the floors, tho wains coting, backs of picture, v'f'taw- sills, nnd thresholds with oil, Apply to tho tnnltrcss) nnd carpet edges. Tho lOdor soon goes away, the oil evaporates und the bugs me routed. TIIK PEST OK ANTS. Unlh ants and ciockroachcs nro tho sworn enemies of tho bedbug, and ns su.'h nro to be encouraged, If their ser vices cm be dispensed with, however. then they too should be made to fold their tents nnd silently stenl nway. l"or tho rid ant, e-ayi'tine pepper Is a discour ager of attentions. Whero the founda tions of u hotisu are low and the pantry of easy access, tho ants appear iib by magic, t'neler th'se cTciunstiincca apply thn pepper to tho pantry shelves tineler the paper covers and scatter along the Hour by the window or crack wheio th.- ant' make their entrance. Locate their hill, which will be near the foundation of the house, and pout boiling water or kerosene Into the opening of each hole. This Is the liesi hoi ok- method. It Is iiIfo Htntrd Ihal an iibutnlance of cold water persistently applliit with the huso to a lawn where nut hills abounds will ulti mately drive the ants away. A moist sponge dipped In sugar or molasves makes an excellent trap for ants. As soon as full drop In hot water. Illaek ntits can often bo driven away by spt inkling ashes saturated with kerosene about their haunts, nnd u v leaves of green wnrm weiod scattered about the house will also send them off In u hurry. THE MOSQ1TO CAMPAIGN. As all authnritli h nro now agreed Ihal the niositilto is the transmitter of both malaria and yellow lew r, it behooves the housewife to see (hat her own premises arc nhoe lepin.uh. As; they are known to breed In standing wati r, none .'ilmuld be allowed to remain In tubs, llower pots, barrels or v.-ies longer th jn ! hours! with out changing. All barrels, cisterns or other receptacles fur rain water should be tightly scteepeil with it'dllng f'o that no mosepilto ran enter. Chicken e-onp.x, ken nels, watering troughs fur rioii: should be clump 1 l.i!l.. Hack yards, with their ne cumulation of runs, tins. Ixittles and other rubbish, siioulel be' cleancel up and the trash hurled. Rank vegetation around Wills should be desttnyed, as it furnishes hiding plates for the adult moemlto, and no waste water should be thrown out for sui-faif drainage. Where there Is stand ing water that cannot bo screened or drained, treat with coal oil, one ounce of oil sufliiiug to cover 1.1 siiuare feet of sin face. An ordinary glass full nnwers feir a large cistern, as n very slight lllm of nil on the surface will clog the breath ing apparatus of the larvae and cause death while it in nowise affects tho water lor ordinary purposes.
