Moth Preventive.

A correspondent of the Fumiinrt Gazette recommends the following remedy for exterminating moths in carpets and furniture: After some years of experience with the troublesome pests, says the writer, I found a sure preventive of moth in pitch p:iper, the same as roofers use. The moth will live and grow on cayenne pepper and tobacco, while I never could see that the use of these articles kept the moth miller out. The plan for the furniture dealer or the housewife is to cut the paper in slips and place about the room, under and behind sofas, chairs, etc.; this should be done as early athe first of April, and in warm climates earlier.

It is the miller that is the foundation oi all the mischief. Weak lungs, spitting of blood, consumption, and kindred affections, cured without physician.
