I'llOTECTIOK AGAINST MOTH.
Wo linvo every .spring ninny modes
offered of protecting furs and wool
ens ngiilnst tho destructive attacks
of moth during warm weather. Wo
have scon various preparations bold
for this purpose, with long accounts
appended of their being porfect rem
edies lied cedar chests and closets
arc recommended nrid'mnny people
cumber their house' with them "at
considerable expense, only, to iml out
how grievously they'tiave beeii 'dis
appointed. CJ L' b r Lj
Tho best protection we ever tried
has been to tic up in close cotton bags
all furs and woolens at nil convenient
to be so treated, after giving them a
thorough fehaklngand clennsirur, and
lotting them remain there until they
nro again wanted. These bags can
o hung anywhere put of the, way. r
If there nro no motfis-ln'tho arti
cles when tiod up there certainly can
none get in afterward If the bags are
bound." Wll cau sco that.' But when
tho clothes or articles arc too numer
ous to make this convenient ordesira
blc, hang up in the wardrobe, after a
good shaking, and place little bags of
camphor nil over tho wardrobe, lay
Ingafewin the bottom. Then, about
every three weeks take out tho
clothes and shake them up well. No
moth will over disturb them. Cor:

A piece of grass land that will cut
two tons of hay per ncre, or which
will furnish an equivalent In pasture,
cannot bo profitably broken up, es
pecially if the laud is inclined to be
rough or wet. Many fields which
are now covered with hcrbago.might,
by draining apd manuring, become
covered with valuable and nutritious
groaMtfMMl'Wkere labor, is scarce and
high, this course Is far preforablo to
putting such laud under tho plow.

PROF.'HUXLEY ON THE DlIlI.K AS
a Tkxt-Bookin Schools. At a re
cent meeting of the London School
Board, Prof. Huxley delivered quite
an elaborate speech in opposition to
the use of the Bible in the public
schools of that city. Of tho first
chapter of tho Book of Genesis, ho
said : "The rendinjr of this chanter
would convoy whatever the chapter
was intended to convey that the
world was made in nix natural days.
I don't say whether that Is tho right
interpretation or not ; but I appeal to
the common sense of tho Board,
whether that is not tho interpreta
tion which every child capable of un
derstanding tho English language
would naturally derive from the
statement contained in tho Book of
Genesis; and, that being tho case, it
is perfectly certain that this state
ment Is erroneous, and no moro ca
pable of being disputed than whether
the earth ctnnds still or not. I sub
mit that it Is an absolute crime that
thin Board should wind ion the In
stilling into tho minds of the chil
dren statcinonts which nro not true,
nnd which' iho instruction they re
ceive n few years later will most In
ftdllbiy unt. g You C.will perceive
that In dealingvlth this' question, I
do not. ask 'tho Board' to Ictivo out
from tho ordinary lessons of tho Bi
ble, (hat which I, and tho men who
think with me, might consider not
to be correct. I do not nk that. That
would bo asking too much in the
present stato of affairs. But what I
do ask, nnd what I linvo a rlglitito
ask, and what you ns honest men
must grant, is this, that these tender
children shall not bo taught that
which" you do not yourselves lie

Tin: Education ok Giiii.8 in
England. In nnablo apcr, recent
ly read before the Society of Arts of
England, it was pointed out that the
condition of education among tho
girls In the upper nnd middlo classes
of England Is wore than that of tho
Industrial population, and that tho
higher tho social scale tho worso In
quality is tho course of education us
ually supplied totho daughters.- In
all. boys' schools .and in elementary
schoolsfor girls flftf pupils are prac
tically educated, so that they may
bo best fitted toget their living as
early nnd us foiSHy a? possible. In

A
Advocateh of a liberal education
for women will be glad to team that
a young lady student In tho State
University of Missouri has gained
the first prize for Greek scholarship.
Miss J. F. Ripley has tho honor of
being the first woman who has ever
surpassed tho young men in such a
contest.
i The Legislature of Pennsylvania
has enacted a law, making women
over twenty-one years of age eligible
' to tho oflico of School Director.
It would seem that there is a di
rect conflict between the law In this
country and in England on tho ques
tion whether suicide, or an attempt
to commit suicide, Is a crime. Some
months ago the question was carried
up to the Supreme Court of Massa
chusetts, and that tribunal decided
it in the negative. But in Ireland,
a short time since, a magistrate fined
n man two shillings nnd six pence for
jumping into tho river, whence ho
wns rescued by tho bystanders. This
indicates that while an attempt at
fc(o dc sc is a crime, it Is not regarded
ns a very serious one.
