There is scarcely any household
scourge that brings with it more annoy
ance than the insect tribe; the very fact
that the troublesome agents are in many
eases minute seems to invest them with
a greater power of trying the patience
us the most long suffering housewife.
The appalling regularity, too, with
which the enemy invades our dwellings
is, to say the least of it, extremely per
plexing; what with the black beetle
(whose “season” has no limit). the faith
ful fly, the annual moth, to say nothing
of red ants, mice ami homely fleas, our
life is not “a happy one.” Methods
manifold of ridding ourselves of these
have been set before us, but still they
flourish undisturbed; the question to lx*
solved is not that of extermination alone,
but the most effective way of keeping
them away.
