As it is important that careful housewives
should he able to rccognizcflthls new source
of trouble, we will chhdchse‘Profe‘ssor Lint-
ncr’s description for' stuclr‘ stagésj‘ns we are
not personally familiar with, referring the
reader to the article in the Naturalist fora
fuller account, and for figures of the insects
in its various stages.
The eggs are laid probably-from October to
May, {111.1 the l. x‘ahatch inure spring. The
larval or “grub” stage of IthOiiisect is that
which does' the misshief to carpets. The
larvae or “grabs” are'very small when they
first batch and when full grown are about
three-sixteenths of an inch long and one-half
or two-thirds as broad, clothed with tufts
or black hairs which-arc more conspicuous
along the sides sud gcpdss‘ :fl‘llcvabundance
of black hair makes the creature appear
black to the superficial glsnce, but the body
itSell' is brown, the color being deeper along
the middle and on the front side of each
ring,thc depressions between the rings are
Often nearly white, so that the body seems
branded across the back. (The jointed hairs
ot' SCVcl'tll. species of this family of insects are
among the most beautiful and popular of mi-'
croscopic objects.) , The his legs are very
small and tapering and not apt to be seen
unless the creature is turned over on his back,
in which position it wriggles so violently
that it moves by a series of short jumps.
They are very lively in their movements and
when the carpet is turned back, they scamp-
or to a refuge in the cracks of the floor or
llndcrtlle baseboard. They are mereapt to;
be found under the carpet near its edges, and-
sometimes (but not always) eat the carpets
most along the litres of cracks ill the floor.
Caurplror, tobacco, insect powders and sim-
ilar popular applications to keep out moths,
do not appearto disturb the beellcor its larvm,
but bcnzinc kills them the instant it touches
them.
When fungrown, the larva, or “grub"
' seeks}; retreat for the next stage. It builds no
cocoon. It becomes quiet, shortens a little
the hairy skin then splits along the back and
the page is seen. In a few weeks the pupal
skin in turn splits along the ‘back and the
beetle, which is the :completed insfect, is seen -
and finally crawls out, ' when fully matured.
The earliest beetles come .out in October. and
they continue to come out through the win-
ter and spring, and probably soon after pair
and lay their eggs. _ ,
The completed beetle is much smaller than
the larva or “grubl” It is abOut one-eight of
an inch long and two-tbirdsas broad, a per;
feet and broad ellipse in shapedwhen seen
from above, very thick, rounded-both on the
backand beneath. When tumodfiipon itsback
it often counterfeits death with its legs so
closely folded as to be scarcely seen, and. ill
this state the ordinary observer might be at
a loss to know the lower fmm'tm;upwr side.
It is beautifully marked with: 'cOutrasting
colors of white, black andl'sosrlet, arranged
.as follows; The edgerofeaohiwiug cover,
where they meet .on'the'back, ' is bordered
with red, (forming a cenffal red line), with
three red projections extendingoutwardly
from it, cash the middlemo'flhe back and
one other toward each end. At theextreme
tip of the wing-covers is ‘a widening of the
bordering red line, making almost a fourth
projection from; it. ,The‘flrst' red' projec-
tion, near the-heads is counseléd‘with a
white spot running upwardly" on the front
border of the wing-cover, and on the outer
border of the wing-covers are three white
spots nearly opposite the red projections.
wThc intermediate spaces are black. The seg-
‘ments of the body beneath are covered with
pale red scales, and the thoracic regions
(which bears the legs) with whitcish scales.

spread and common in our homesas the “Mn-
, scum pest" Actor-onus rariux) is in its way,

In the cultivation of-thc rose we experience
an exguisitegplegsrire. It is a- senseof the
beautifulaa faculty. of < the -soul—-which~~ is
awakened. We perceivein its'colers, forms,
and the delightful Odors, the harmony of
Nature. They recall the past and fore-
shadow the future; and if their fading hues
and scattered petals tell of blighted hopes and
departed joys of early life, so do their burst-
ing seed and fresh shoots whisper of a future
which shall restore in fresh beauty and un-
fading verdure the loved, the cherished, and
w.
'5;
the lost." Let us then endeavor to carefully
preserve, and if ppssiblc augmlnt, the num-
ber of these sublime gifts of Nature.
The preparation of the soil is a very essen-‘
tial requisite ill-1.118 successful cultivation of
the Rose. When forked deep, and the bottom
and top be well pulverized and incorporated
together, it may be easily attained. If the
ground be dug in a shallow manner, the food
of the plants can only be imperfectly obtained.
Ground should not be worked when wet, for
sourncss and adhesion then take place,and is
not overcome until the operation is again per-
formed, and provesinjurious to the plants. It
the soil needs enriching,manure should be ap-.
plied in the fall, and well dug in the following
spring. -
Good drainage is essential to the cultivation
of the Rose. Where there is a stiff clay sub-
soil the water cannot pass off freely, and the
pla'utsare sure to be injured. A, strong, rich
loam is the proper soil for Roses, to which
shoutd be added well decomposed leaf-mold
or well-rotted stable manure. If the soil be
poor, the Rose will not give satisfaction, and
'not unfrequently produces only single, or at
most semi-double flowers. Thus manyfine
varieties are condemned as worthless, solely
from being planted in a soil unsuited to them,
and the amateur becomes discouraged, and
unjustly places the blame on the florist from
whom he purchased the plauts,whcn the fault
is his own.
In setting out Roses, holes from eighteen
inches to two feet deep should be made,and a
few pieces of soft brick, broken flower-pots,
or bones, &c., placed in the bottom, covered
with soil three inches thick, and so on, in al-
ternatc layers of fragments and soil, until the
hole be filled up just sufficient to admit the
plant to its original depth. If the plants are
received in pots, after removal, the outer
edges of the earth surrounding the roots
should be moderately loosened, and such
roots as are matted together should be
straightened out. After placing the plant is
the hole and filling the soil in between the
roots, it should be gently pressed with the
foot to keep the plant in position. Secure to
a stake by tying, water, and thin out~shoots
where the symmetry of the plants demands
it. ‘ .
Systematic pruning is an important opera-
tion in the culture of the Rose. This can only
be acquired by practice, for it is requisite to
understand'the nature and habits of the plan,
to be operated upon. The beauty of the plant,
as well as the quality and disposition to flower,
depends on judicious pruning. This‘operation
is performed in spring and autumn. 'We pix:
fer the former, for if donein March the shoot
are not so likely to be injured by frost, as is
frequently the case when the operation is per-
formed in autumn ; for then,if we have a few
days of mild weather,the buds become excited
and push forth slloots,when, if severe weather
follow: they become frosted and 'the bloom‘
perishes.
Halli/fora roses should have only the old‘
wood thinned out,'unless locality demands it,
when the young shoots may be moderately
headed in, before the buds begin to swell.
*Moss roses require the wood of the preced-
ing year thinned out. The young wood should:
only be out where the shoots cross each
other. and this very moderately. The plants
should not be cut down lower than four feet.
Noz'sette roses may be pruned from Novem
b:r to March; Thin out the old wood of two
or three years’fgrowth, and shorten all the
shoots in proportion to their growth. If pruned
in this manner, several varieties will bloom
the whole season. .
Tea roses should be pruned only of decayed
or surplus wood,merely to keep the branches
from becoming too crowded.
Bengal roses should have the shoots of the,
preceding year, where ill-shapcn or irregulary
thinned Out. '
Lawoimcla roses should have the old and
supe'rfluouswood thinned out, only sufficient
to. keep the branches from becoming too
crowded.
Bourbon roses will bearvcloser pruning than:
any other variety, but care should be taken.
Hybrid Perpetual roses, being of a very
robust: growtb,should be pruned of all surplus
wood. Heading-in of the plant will be‘ found
advantageous for this plant. If the blossom-
buds of the first crop of these roses be pinched?
out—say from the middle of May to the mid‘,
dle of J nae—their after blooms from July to-
Novcmber, will more than reward the ama-
teur for their absence of bloom in J une. '
_ ‘Pemetual Damask roses require the same'
tréatmenl. as recommended for the Hybrid-
‘Perpctuals. .
Mkropllylla‘ roses should have only the old
shoots thinned out. The young sheets should
not be pruned unless locality demand it.
Musicseented roses require the same mode
of treatment as recommended for the
Noisettcs. ,
Among the large number of varieties of
the Rose, the inexperienced amateur will find
it difficult to'make a judicious selection. From'
the multitude of subdivisions of 'the Rose
family we select the following, feeling sure
they will be found to posess all the varied
attractions of that charming flower. The
chief merit of some varieties consists in the
beauty of the bud; of others. in the full
bloom. Among those lovely while in the bed
are the Masses, the Safrona, &c.,but lose most
of their beauty when expanded. The dis-
tinguishing merits of different Roses consist
in— ,
1. Thick, broad petals, with smooth edges;
2, fragrance; 3, double enough to hide the
center, round in form, with regular petals; 4
distinct in color; 5,. strong stem, stiff foot.
stalk,with flowers well out beyond the foliage:
6, compact petals.

110W to Care For Infants.
The New York Board of Health have is-
sued the following circular in relation to the
care and feeding of infants during the hot
tvcatber :—
In nursing, over-feeding does more harm
than anything else; nurse an infant a month
or two old every two or three hours. Nurse
an infant of six months and over five times
infant is thirsty give it pure water, or barley
water, no sugar. , 0n the hottest days, a
few drops of whisky not to exceed a tea-
spoonful in twenty-four hours.
If the infant must be fed, boil a teaspoon-
ful of powdered barley (ground in a coffee-I
grinder) and a gill ,of water, with a little
salt, for fifteen minutes, strain, then mix it
with half as much boiled milk, add a lump
of white sugar, size of a walnut, and give
it lukewarm from a' nursing bottle; keep
bottle'and mouth-piece in a bowl of water
when not in use, to which a little soda may
be added. For infants five or six months
old give half barley-water and half boiled
milk, with salt and a lump of sugar. For
older infants give more milk than barley. For
infants very costive, give oat-meal instead of
barley. Cook and strain as before. When
your breast-milk is only half enough, change
off between breast-milk and this prepared
food. In hot weather, if blue litmus-paper,
applied' to the food, turns red, the food is
too acid, and you must make a fresh mess,
or add a small pinch of baking-soda. In-
fants of six months may have beef-tea or
beef-soup once a day, by istelf, or mixed
with food. And when ten or twelve months
old a crust of bread and apiece of rare beef

Tun WOMEN CLERKS AT WasnlNGTON.+
Among the clerkships at Washington, the
men, the lighter, better-paid ofllccs by men.
That is because the women cannot vote.
Copying and figuring is the work mostly done
by the women. In the-deparment of the in-
terior 500 girls and women are employed.
Their wages ranging from 1,650 a montll to
$1,4oo.year; Few’get tlielatterpl‘icc. One
young lady, Miss Cook, a stenographer in the
Indian office, gets $91,000 a year, the highest
price to a woman ofilcial in Washington.
But lest all the bright-young lady short-hand
writers who read this should at once start off
in a body to get $1,000 a year at the capital,
it may be as well to state that there are only
places. for about six steuographers in the
whole interior department. These six places
are filled, and the occupants are healthy.
They are afraid everylma'n wouldn't be worth
$1,600 a year to them. Women clerks are
more troublesome to manage than men. This
is the verdict'fn‘ most of-the departments.
They are more regular and faithful in their
duties than the men; at the same time they
are more quarrelsome among one another. A?
standing cause of war among them, ridiculous
enough, is the opening and shutting of win-
dows. This one wants ventilation, while the?
one next to her is dead sure to be afraid of a.
draft. This one slaps the ‘window up' and.
that one runs after her and slams it down,
and‘so the game gees on,'slap, slam, while
choke up too full for speech. This cattish
quart-cling went so far in the post-ofiice dc-
partment that at last the United States author.
ities had to interfere and make the rule that
windows should not. be raised till a certain
time of day, so that the windows of the Uni-
ted States general post office are now opened
and shut according to government orders. A
more contemptible thing about womankiud it
has never been my painful duty to record.
Many unjust stories have been circulated in
the newspapers about the women clerks at
Washington by correspondents who were not
half or quarter as good as they. The simple
fact is that the great majority of them are
modest, faithful; hardworking women. They
are quite as good and intelligent as the same
number of women anywhere else in the werld.
Most of them have families or relatives to
support. The stories that have been told
about them are not only wicked lies, but un
der' the circumstances they are extremely
cruel. At the same time the conduct of a
few incompetent women, who get their places
through political favoritism, really has been
such as to give color to the newspaper stories.
They do their work 'iudiflierently or not at all,
come together and gossip by the hour in the
dressing rooms, squabble and raise petty rows
in the departments, until it is even wished
that they were dead. ; Such women are kept
in their places because they have masculine
relations at home that can veto, and the men
who keep them there are honorableiseuators
and representatives who declare that civil
service reform is a ‘humbug.—00rrespondenvo

- THE

stands confesscdlyat the head of American rail-
ways. The track is double the entire length of the
liuc,ql'steel rails laid on heavy Oukticsm'hlch are
embedded in a foundation of rockballast eighteen
inchesin depth. Ail bridges are of iron or stone,
and built upon the most approved plans. Its pas-
senger cars, while eminently safe and substantial,
are at the satire time models of comfort and ele-
gance. . .
The Safety Appliances
in use on this line well illustrate the far-seeing
and liberal policy of its management. in accord-
ance with which the utility only of' an improve-
ment and not its cost has been the question of’con-
slderation. Among many may be noticed
THE BLOCK SYSTEM OF SIGNALS,
JANNEY COUPLFR, BUFFER AND
PLATFORM;
THE WEAR TON PA TENTS WITCH,

THE WISTINGHO USE AIR-BRAKE,
forming in conjunction with a. perfect double
track and road-bed a combination of safeguards

“One hundred and ninety-five," bummed
the passenger, looking first at the gauge and
then at the boilers.
“That’s about where she’s rustitating,” put
in the engineer.
Then the. passenger ran his fingers through
his hair nervously, and walked about the deck
a-f'ew minutes, when he came back to the en-
gineer and observed :
“Hadn’t you better leave that boat go P"
"Can't do it. Must pass her.”

“Well,” said the engineer, as he peepcd

boat to blow up,we’ll have to stand it." Then

The next moment there was a splash in the

and hallooed out:

tell? for the train passed on.
-We saw girls pasting paper bOXes, pulling
corset strings; frying fish, taking clothes from
«the roof, hulling strawberries, smoking cigar-
ettes, nursing babies, and buttoning boots.
The fact is, there is nothing known to the
life of man, woman, or child that cannot be
seen in this Sixth avenue second. story pano-
rama.
Pawnbroker’s bdls, gilded and tempting,
adorn many a dingy front. N ow and then a
bird cage swings in a window, and an occa-
sional flower box tells of a‘ sentimental soul,
but, as a rule, the home is the. home of the
“eat and drink, for tomorrow we die" sort of
. people, to whom life means work, and work
means slavery. Although the road has been
in operation for some time, it still exists as a
, curiosity. A few stolid tailors permit the
cars to come and go unnoticed, but generally
speaking. the engineer and firemen are greet-
ed with upturned faces. All along the line,
women and children sit in the windows, lean
with elbows on the 'sills, stand behind the
blinds, hang over the ledge of stone to see
and be seen. Many of the residents of that
part of the city are in a chronic condition of
, dishabille, ‘and don’t care who knows it. The
most astonishing disregard of appearances
characterizes whole blocks of people, with
now and then an illustration of more than
that. ' '
Generallyspeaking, cats can take care of
themselves. The great gray cat that lives

that kind. She found herself on the; track

did not. She ‘let out and ran, jumped and
bounded along the sleepers just ahead of the
engine, which seemed to gain ‘ upon her.
Three blocks were pmed. The cat scream-
ed, the engine wbistled, the fireman shooed.
Four blocks were passed, and for fun .steam
was let on and the speed increased. ' The cat
took in the situation, and was game to the end
of her tail, which. by the way, Wasa's Straight

whistle, ayell from the eat, a score of screams
and-shouts from as many astonished people
waiting fer the train as over their heads the
lively quadruped jumped, and striking the

“How soon will regular night service be

“As soon as the day service is perfected.

' lief that by the first of January-there will be
$200,000,000 of the public- debt bearing two

ago. And the demaudglso shows the absurd-
ity of the cry for “more money." If there
