HOW TO PRIiSCOSE YOUR Fults.Furs, says
a Writer in one of the New 'York papers, who .
seem s obe thoroughly thmiliar with the sub- •
ject, should never be put away for the summer.
and forgotten, as they. so frequently are; and .
next to being_ shut up front the air, their.
greatest enemy is damp, If, from the wearer
being exposed to rain, they become Ave, they
should always be dried at a modehtte distance
from the tire immediately, and in warm weath:.
er when not required for wear, they should
never be shut in a box or drawer for more
:than a few days at a time, and- every few '
Weeks they should be shaken ands beaten.'
• The more delicate skins. require somewhat
more delicate treat t inent. The test plan is,
probably; not to pack furs away, but let them
he Iti a drawer or wardrobe that is constantly
being opened, so that they ntopt the eye . fre
quently, and being' thus often in sight, it is
easy; at convenient opportunities, to have them
taken oht and beaten, or at aN, , rate, shaken
or tossed and thoroughly exposed to the air.
It. is common tb hoar it remarked that the moth
gets into furs„ :ISM the insect actually migra

animal substances, endowed with a vital prin

ganisms through the decay of . its material
shape. Cleanliness and airing are, therefore
absolutely essential.
