How to Burn Coal.

Nine out often who attempt to burn
coal in a stove, waste about as much
coal as is necessary to be consumed for
the obtaining Of all the heat desirable.
Observe the following simple rules,
suggested by a cotemporary, and few
who adopt the burning Of coal will re-
turn to wood fires. We will suppose
the stove to be cleaned out.
First, to make coal fire. Put in
q double-handful Of shavings, Or use
kindling wood instead. Fill the
earthen cavity if the stove has one)
nearly full of chunks of dry wood, say
four or six inches in length. On the
top put about dozen Jumps Of egg
coal. In ten minutes add about TWEEN.
ty Jumps more of coal. AS soon as
the wood has burned out, fill
the cavity halfto two-thirds full! oi
coal. The fire will be a good one.-
The coal will, by these directions, be-
TO- %%ra.,3roughly ignited.
H. H. Cox. x..i-Never fill stove more
l2. Pa;rillf or two-thirds full of coal,
-, IS, TSII1the Bnr5the coldest of weather.
u. Many When the fire is low, never
Lac 't9e CRATE or disturb the ashes;
but add from ten to fifteen small humps
of coal, and Sc: the draft open. When
these are heated through and some
what ignited. add the amount necessa-
ry for a new fire, but do not disturb
the ashes yet. Let the draught be
open half an hour. Now shake ont
the ashes. The coal will be thour.
oughly ignited, and will keep the stove
at high heat from six to twelve hours,
according to the GOODNESS of the wealth,
er.
Fourth-For very cold weather.
After the fire is made, according TO
rule first and third, add every hour
about twelve or twenty Jumps of coal.
You will find that the ashes made each
hour will be in about that ratio

Ice in Surgical Operations.

The Utica Herald says that DR.
Wolcott, of that city, acting under the
suggestion of a French Journal, has
resorted to ice as a means of destroying
pain in surgical operations. A few
days since he removed a very large
tumor from a mans leg. He took a
preparation of snow and common table
salt and applied it to the diseased part
which was almost immediatly reduced
to an insensible state. The removal
ofthe tumor was accompanied by very
little loss of blood and little or no pain.
DIR. W. thinks that method Of produc.
ing insensibility to pain is preferable
to that of chloroform, inasmuch as ii
is not dangerous and does no injury
to the blood.
