Great improvement in Domestic Economy,
Dispensing riM Coal as Fuei.-We havc
this week to notice Il discovery which will
produce n greater change III the arrange.
mcnts of domestic life, than any discovery
perhaps that has been made for a hundred
years past: we allude To the substitution of
gas for Goals in The warming of houses, in
cooking operations, sc. The principle
on which this is done is SO very simple, in
its application so very easy, as TO insure the
speedy aud extensive adoption Of the i'm
provcment i'll every place where a supply
of gas can be obtained. The principle is
as easy to describe is to apl ly. and il
simply this; the mixture Of gas with five
or six times Its bulk of atmospheric air, and
tho burning Of the mixture through wire
gauze.
The modes of doing this may be varied
according to the taste and fancy of the con
sun,er. and great room for the display Of
taste is afforded. but we shall describe one
of the simplest modes of application, as
best suited for general purposes. Suppos.

We have spoken Of The mixture Of ga:

Isaac Walton, in his admiral Lives, after
mentioning characteristic anecdotes of Ilor-
bert, adds:
ain a walk to Salisbury, he saw a poor
man with n poorer horse, that was fallen
under his load they were both in distress,
and needed present help, which Mr. Her
bert, pcrceivcing, pu, off his %canonical coat.
and helped the poor man TO unload, aud af:
ter 10 load his horse. The poor man bless
ell him for it, and he blessed The poor man !;
and was so like the good Samaritan, that
he gave him money to relish both himself,
and his horse and told him, that if he
loved himself, he should be merciful to his
BEAST Thus he left the pbdr man, and at
his coming TO his musical friends at Sails
bury, they began to wonder that Mr.. Geo.
Herbert who used to be so trim and clean
came into that company SO soiled and dis
composed; but he told them the occasion :
and when one Of the company told him he
had disparaged himself by so dirty an EN-.
ploymcnt, his answer was, "that the
thought of what he had done would prove
music to him at midnight: and that the
omission Of it would have upbraided and
made discord in his conscience whensoev-
err he should pass by that place. For if l
be bound to pray for all that be in dis
trcss, l am sure that ] am bound, as far as
it sin my power, to practise what I pray
for. And though | do not wish for the like
occasion every day, yet let Inc tell you, l
would not willingly pass one day of my
life without comforting a sad soul or show
ing mercy; and | praise God for this &C.
cason. And now lot US tune our instru.
mcnts."

CULTURE OF THE MIND.-The culture
of the mind should engage your early atten-
ton, that you may sooner profit by its coun-
sells and its powers. Mind is the great mas
ter power, which instructs, guides and abrid-
ges human labor-the grand source of intel
lcctual pleasure-a faculty which distin-
cuisines man from the brute, and which, as
it is more or less cultivated, marks the gra.
dations in civilized society. Say no, tina,
you have no leisure dor this, that your time
is cngrossed in providing for your animal
wants. Franklin found time to bestow upon
bis mind, high and useful culture, amid tho

plato, rs it may be called which may be o
any size or shape required, be exactly on q
level with the wire gaGze, then it will be
necessary to place on it a small stand sc
rs TO keep the bottom of a pan, or kettle
three or four inches from the wire gauze.-
A perforated piece Of cast iron may be laid
on the top oftho wire gauze, for the purpose
of raising tho flame a little above it. and o.
thus rendering it more durable.
We need scacely add, that any number
of these fire places can be 6tte.! up in a
kitchen range, 80 that If room permit, a
dozen or n score of pots may be boiling,
each one its own FIRE, while to make one
boil fiercely, & another 10 simmer slowly,
no labor with poker and tongs is required
all that is necessary is a small touch Of the
top cock, by which every fire in the range
may be made to burn with different degrees
Of intensity.
With respect to price, it is found that one
jet will he quite sufficient for the cooking
and warming purposes of an ordinary small
family, occupying n room and kitchen, and
who are in the habit Of keeping only one
fire burning. In the lighting Of fires, no
chips. no peats, no pulling and blowing
with mouth or bellows is necessary ; and
what in many cases is highly important, 10
time is lost. A person in kindling a fire
has only to turn the stopcock, apply a luci-
fer or other match and his fire in a second
is in readiness for boiling a kettle or frying
a Beef steak, either Of which it will do in a
very few minutes. Here, then, are Goals
wholly dispensed with-here is a total
escape from the nuisance Of cinders, ashes,
dust, and what is still moro annoying
smoke.
The discovery which VIC rave been at
tempting to describe, We fear rather imper-
fcctIy, was made by Mr.. James Cook,
Manager Of the Gas Works here, a gentle
man Of taste aud scientific skill, who has
done more perhaps than any other mar in
Scotland, in improving gas illumination
A. La has no intention Of taking out n pa-
Ten, for his discovery. he has permitted Il,

We may state i'll conclusion, that our Of
nee was yesterday fitted up in a plain way
with thi. new variety of Promethcan Lene-
hcence, so that those OF our local readers
who may not understand our description
fully, may call and have that description il
