A physician wrote to impure
"whether or cot camphor is the Lcsl
preventive of tuoths iu cases contain
ing clothing.'' As this is the season
of the year when winter clothing is
being put away until needed aifain,
and housekeepers want to know how
to keep the moths from destroying
the same, tho Professor's answer ia
apropos. Be replied as follows :
To Prevent Damjt From
Moths
"As a preventive of moths in cases
containing rlothlng, there Is nothing
like making tbe eases in which they
are pricked so tight that the sooth
can cot enter to lay her egga, from
which eggs tho larvae come. I pre
fer naphthaline balls to camphor.
but if tho garments are wrapped in
newspapers and put into a proteoted !
eise and this sealed with strips of
PJUec l',K,e'l ovtr the cracks at ev-
ery possible point of entry, to keep
out the moths, there will be no dan
goi of tbe moths developing. Cam-
l',,or or ",P1"hRlin can he
used in tho packr.ges also, but these
alone will not prevent the occurence
of Ihe moths, nor destroy the moth
larvae alter they have entered. The
chief point lo protecting fabrics from
destruction by moths is to keep
them in a vessel where the little
winged moth can not, enter to lay Its
epi-s. An aid to this is the ute of
some substance like the balls above
mentioned, which aot as a repellnnt.
After the clothing is attacked de
stroy tho peats at once by fumigating
with biouifld of carbon.''
The State Zoologist of Pennsyl
vuniu recommends one Dound ol
this, liquid to each 100 cnblo feet of
spece, either sprinkled on cloth or
poured into thallow vessels placed
on it.

the committee was adopted 81 to 24.
Eighteen of the sixty-one votes re
corded or dutiable Iron ore came
from the Democratic side.
President Tsft end the Attorney
Oennral have formulated a plan for
buying supplies for all the govern
nieiit departments through a central
board.- This movement Is In the in
terest of economy In government
purchases and Is in keeping with the
suggestion ruske by the President at
his first cabinet meeting, when hi
created a "budget" committee com
posed of Ihiee cabinet members,
with the Secretary of the Trcanry
as Chairman, to""snperviso all esti
mates for federal expenses before
tin y are submitted to Congress. The
President Is of the opinion that many
thousand of dollars cm be saved bj
a collective purchase of supplies for
nil departments. On Investigation
it has been shown, for instance that
In the caso of rubber bands one de
partment was paying fifty per cent
more for tho same article than an
other department, and it has been
found, also, that great discrepancy
exists in the prices paid by the vari
ous departments for waste baskets,
stationary, pens, It k, mucilage, glue
inkstands, clips, etc. Another feat
ure of the proposed plants govern
ment ownership of an toe plnut as it
is claimed that the Ice combination
bas fixed such prices as It pleases for
supplying the departments.
James J. Hill was in Washington
this week and sfter paying his com
pliments to the "agtt ition and ora
tory" prevalent In the Senate wing
ef the Capitol over the tariff bill, de
clared that the "West and the South
are to be tho great sections of this
country In the future. The West is
now, for that matter,' and the South
is coming forward with leaps and
bounds. The South exhausted her
soil before tbe war by her methods
of Improvident agriculture, and Is
now struggling to restore the soil.
She is succeeding too, and has a
great future." Senator Scolt of
West Virginia was so impressed with
the truth of Mr. Hill's remarks anent
the superfluous speech making on
the subject of that tariff that he bad
them read, as published in one of
the local papers In the State.
Fire in School Building
Tbe new school bnilding in Hones
dale, nearly completed, was badly
damaged by fire last Saturdoy morn
ing. Tbe damage will amount to
(15,000 whioh is covered by insar
ance. Tbe origin of the fire ia un
known. A fire wall separated the
main auditorium from the main
building and the fireproof stairways
snd concrete corridors aided to check
the spread of the flames and prevent
ed greater loss. It is cheering to
know that school directors in other
towns build like the above. Think
of the monstrous fire trap called our
now school building. Narrow, pine
stairways, varnished and made as
inlliuiranhlo as possible, the whole
luterior arrangement thoroughly
bad and inconvenient as could well
be planned, it would no doubt be
condemned by any one at all oenver
sent with the needs for a school
building or by any architect who
bad ever even seen the covers of a
Uicknell's builder.
To make it at all safe and conven
ient fur its uses and purposes the
whole luterior should be rearranged
m1 modernized.

WELLS GLEN
The hill authorizing boroughs l
buy forest lands adjicent for park
purposes has become a law. It may
be hoped that now under Its pro vis
Ions the Borough may acquire pos
session of Wells Glen. Life is unccr
tain and time brings many changes.
A sentiment which may be keenly
alive in the breast of a son or daugh
ter for an old home, or family pos
session, may not survive In the next
generation. Other consUeratioas
may prevail and v e see every day
the titles to lands which have been
handed down for several generations
passing into the bands of strangers.
Shonld the Glen, which is a natural
and almost indispensable adjunct to
the town, become tbe property of the
Borough It can be preserved for all
time in the name of "Wells Glen"
and so perpetuate the memory of one
who was a grest benefactor of the
plaos and who took great pleasure
and pride in the Glen and in having
it known by bis name. It such sale
was made proper restrictions and
limitations can be placed on its use
so that It may remain an ornament
and never be desecrated by improper
uses. Greed is rampant and in tbe
vicissitudes ot this life the Gieu
might fall into tbe possession of
some one who wonld simply commer
cialize it and so make it detriment
to the morals of the town, and a re.
proaoh to the name of Wells. Mr.
Wells left no sons to perpetuate his
name, bnt the Glen, endowed with
it in Deed, would be more lasting
monument than even family name
or than any other that can be erec
ted. Names die ont, bnildings burn,
even towns dedloattd to family
names suffer change, bnt lands are
stable, and with restriction in a
deed that tbe place should always be
known as 'Wells Glen' or if changed
revert to the heirs of the original
owmr it would fix it for all time,
and prevent any lapse, should there
ever be a desire on tbe part of any
in future to change the nama. It
seems that before any of the calam
ities whioh befall families hsppea to
that of Mr. Wells, whioh bas so far
remained intact, that the matter of
having the town own '-Wells Glen"
should be consummated.
