m destroying 'green leaves, It is
a common error to suppose that it
is the clothes moth that does the
mischief, though,' by destroying
the moth, we prevent the laying
of innumerable eggs, from which
come the consuming larvae, whose
cutting jaws would be actively and
incessantly employed in mutilat
ing choice fabrics and beautiful
furs. These caterpillars are rare
ly seen by the housewife, because
their first care on leaving the egg
is to disguise Or hide themselves.
The clothes moth proper has
yellowish gray wings, with three
orfour indefinite _ brownish' spots
upon them, and, on account*of its
marked preference for furs, it is
known td science as Tinea pellio-
nella.—-Good Words.

• * A Humble Apology.
“We feel that an apology is
due,” explains the editor of the
Spiketown Blizzard, according to
the*Chicago Tribune, “to the esti
mable young Woman who teaches
at the school house, in District
No. 5. Through the wretched
blunder of a worthless tramp
printer whom we trusted with the
setting up of an item just as we
were closing the forms of our last
week’s edition, we were made to
say that ‘Miss Ruby McConnell,
the handsome and popular teacher
in the Riggs neighborhood, is the
prond possessor of an elegant new
black beard. 5 We wrote it ‘black
board.’”
that the birds come' to his relief.
It is well known that even m
the Warm season, when insects are
most plentiful, birds depend large
ly on seeds for their food; but in
winter, when the ground is ‘cov
ered with snow, they live,, almost
altogether on them. Birds are al-
ways most numerous where weeds
abound, and they go there for no
other purpose than to eat the
seeds.
So, it seems, that the birds have
a double right to protection : first,
because it is cruel to slaughter
them, and, second, because they
are in many ways of practical help
to us.

The first evidence of the fire was
was shown several months after
the above incident occurred, when
a score of miners narrowly escaped
death by suffocation. The fire
had then gained considerable head
way. Strenuous efforts were put
forth to subdue the fire,| and, in
the work of Ideating iff General
Superintendent Barnes, of the Lit
tle Schuylkill company, and Gen
eral Inside Superintendent Dun
can Weir, of the same company,
lost their lives.
Nothing much was then done
for several years towards checking
the progress of the fire, until it
was found cutting its way in close
proximity to the Greenwood work
ings. It was then decided to cut
across the vein down to the . bot
tom slate, remove the coal and fill
up the breach with clay. This
was done, and the coal Was taken
out for a distance of thirty feet,
thus effectually blocking the pro

The Clothes Moth.
We may marvel at grubs grow
ing fat and succulent upon .such
unpromising fare as old timber af
fords, but that achievement is
improved upon by the insects that
prefer to draw their entire nutri
tion from woolen fabrics, fur,
horsehair, feathers, tanned leath
er and the like, and apparently
w.ithout ever a desire, to “wet their
whistles” by anything of a juicy
nature. Any small silvery winged
moth that is seen flitting about
the house is regarded as a “clothes
moth,” but every one killed is not
an enemy, for there are a number
of moths of similar size and ap
pearance that come from outdoors,
