Only a Year Ago. ~-~==============================::=::: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12 1886, I THE HOUSEHOLD. Insects on Rouse Plants. Tho green fiy le the most deetrc.otive of all if left to itsdf. It eucks the juioe so as to destroy the plant In a short time, Th<l insects of this killd (aphia) increase with such rapidity that In five ~enerations one aphis maybe tho progenitor of 6,000,000, and there can be ten gencra.tions ln a year. A wellk solution of tobaooo, arplied with a syringe or sprinkled with a brush, dforde an effective way to kill this pe11t. To deter· mine whether the solution is too strong, a leaf should be placed in the eolutlon for a short time. If the le11of is browned or burned, or turns eo when taken out, the solution is too strong and water must be added. The plants must be cleaned off with clean watt:r after the tobacco ha.a been applied, 'l.'he operation should be repeated until the posts a.re destro}' ed. The thrip is an exceedingly active mtle insect, one-tenth of.an inch in len~th. It lives on the leaves, in t he buds, and even in the tiny crevices of the bark. Its color varies . from a whitish . yellow to a dark brown, It attacks the o:xtremities of young shoots and new leaves, which became yellow and withered, and wlll 01 umble to dur$t when rubbed together, To destroy this insect uue the same remedy as for the green fly. The red spider (o.carus tellar!us) is a very troublesome little creature, and, if allowed to go unoheoked, will bring ruin upon everything, although no doub~ made for eome gcod purpose. Whenever the red spider makes hia appea.ranoe t he atmoap); ere is too dry, If it is in the living-room the atmosphere is too dry fo1· the health of the occupants. The first indica.tlon of the spider is the turning yellow of some of the leaves, after which th.tr webs wlll cover the leaves. W11ter is fatal to the red spider, and in a room with the atmosphere of proper humidl· ty the inseot will never flourish to do any injury. B~1t when they ta.ke hold to do any mischief they may be destroyed by the use ot strong soapsuds, The cocus or scale insect is a common peat on some kinds of plants; orange, myrtle, oamcilia, oleander, and other hard-wood plants, will especially be infested by them. 'l'hey appear u.pcn, the under side of the leaf. When removing tbein they adhere so closely thu.t a stiff brush is required to get them off, and sometimes they have to be scraped off with the thumb-nail. Wash the pllMlts well in soapsuds.

In former t imes, \11 hen the mails were carried leas frequently t han they are now, and when the ratl!le of postage we re so high as t<i be a heavy t 11.x upon correspondenoe, it was much the custom for tuvellero to ta.ks par cels and messages from place to place, ae a friendly or neighborly office, Here is an old-time anecdote relating to thla custom : "My dear fellow," sa.yu one who b about to start on a j ourney, as be t aken leave of a friend," I'm off to·mGrrow. Can I take any lettEra for you ? " "You're very kind," answered the friend, " !Bat where are yoa going?" "Ob, as to that, I haven' t made up my mind yet I" Thia e11ome obliging spirit used to be ehar· ed by t he stage1drivern, who carried the mails beforn railroads were built. They did a general pl\ssengrr and express business for the people who lived along the route on which they dr ove.

The mrn in the house were not to her taste as pv.rtners, yet she felt like dancing. She whispered her wishe3 to some other young lad}' ~nests, and found them quite of her mind. Presently the sound of- a waltz drew L ~dy Roll-a to the room, when, to her rage and amazement, she beheld Lady H. whirling round in the embr ace of a stalwart and handsome powdered footman, while her friends followed her in the aro-·11 of similar gallants.

"Never heard of him there? why, he's our great fighting man." ."Rubbish I" Ra.id my friend Impatiently ; " we oome to see Boston, a great intellectual centre, and the first thing you propo~e ta show us la the house of a brutal prize fighter." Cabby muttered that tho houee in question was a fine one, and then suggested driving us to the market."

After this ex. erciee the yeomen bad to leap u pon the bed and ' reel him up and down' to a rrs.y the litter. Following this the servitors had to ' lay dow n the canvas a.gain, then the feath · er-bed, and beat it well, and make it even and smooth. ' The t wo yeomen afterwards took the fustian and cast it upon the bed without a ny wrinkleij, and the sheet In the sa.me faahlon. Finally the yoomen had to beat the plllowa and throw them n p to the squires to 18.y them on t he bed-head, e.11 might please the King's grace. The bed. clothes were at this point t o be brought pretty well up to t he pillows and turned down tile !!pace of e.u ell, In the end, t he gracious chronicler ea.ya, when all was done, ' the several functionaries engaged withdrew behind the curtain that divided the r oom, aud had a drink all round.'
