A Secret "Worth Knowing. A sort of trade secret amoii 0 ' upholsterers. it is said, is the recipe tor ridding furniture of moths. A set of furniture that seemed to be alive with ihe larvae, and from which hundreds of these - pests had been picked and brushed, was set iu a room by itself. Three gallons of benzine wers purchased at 30 eeuts a gallon, retail.— Using a small water pot, with a fine rose sprinkler, the upholstery was saturated thiAmgh with the benzine. R 9 sulb,-every moth larvae tfnd egg was killed. The benzine - dried out in a few hours, and its entire odor disappeared in three or four days. Not the slightest harm happened qo the varnish, the wood, or fabrics, or hair stuffing. That was months ago, and not the sign of a moth has since appeared. Tiie carpets were also well sprinkled all around tiie sides of the room with equally good effect. For furs, flanindeed all woollen articles containing moths, benzine is most valuable. Put thorn in a box, sprinkle them with benzine, close tiie box tightly, and in a day or two the pests will be exterminated, and the benzine will all evaporate on opening In using benzine great caro should be ; taken that no fire is Dear by, as the stuff, in fluid or vapor form, is very inflammable.
