An Omnivorous Insect. There Is a little, shaggy, black-and-tan Insect, about an eighth of an inch long, that eats everything under the sun which is not disturbed "every day. It has to be surprised at Its work likr a burglar. In most countries ivory brushes are pretty safe from Insects; in Egypt this little terror eats the ivory and eats the bristles; It eats your toothbrush and. eats your toothpick; tooth-pick; It eats the wool with which you-are you-are going to mend your husband's ' socks the cards as well as the wool; It eats the handles off your knives and forks; Jt rejects nothing but glass and-' china and metal.
