The Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth is quite a comfortable place for the homeless soldier. There are now about five hundred old veterans domesticated there. There are now twelve barracks or buildings, in course of erection. All who want to work are allowed thirty cents per day. Those drawing pensions put it in the treasury at the Home and check it out as their needs require. Each person is furnished with two oversuits and four suits of underclothing each year. The home is well managed and the old soldiers seem to enjoy it very much. It is neither a military prison nor a poor house.—(July, 1886.)
For the benefit of house-keepers the following information is given free: If a bottle of the oil of pennyroyal is left uncorked in a room at night not a mosquito or any other blood sucker will be found there in the morning; and if potash is mixed with powered meal and thrown into rat holes of a cellar, the rats will depart. Also, if a rat or mouse bothers you by getting into the pantry and you will stuff into its hole a rag saturated with a solution of cayenne pepper no rat or mouse will touch the rag for the purpose of entering. Try these things on.
