The cat or dog should be rid of fleas and kept out-of-doors. If the dog is provided with a rug or article of clothing on which to sleep it should be cleaned every week dur- ing the warm weather. Clothes that have not been worn for some time, and 'hang, or lie, undis- turbed, are quite apt, in the summer especially, to serve as feeding places for several insects, not the least of which is the clothes-moth. = Their work may not be noticed until last year's coat or gown has been taken down and found to be full of holes that are located in the most con- spicuous places. The webs or cases in which the insect feeds will be found near the holes where they are at work. The larvae of carpet beetles are also very fond of clothes and can in a short time so perforate a garment as to make it unusable. They will also get on the under side of the carpet, work- ing near the border, or will follow a crack in the floor and thus cut a long slit.

"I was in my bathroom," she said; "preparing for bed, when I heard two sudden explosions "somewhere in in the house.
