How TO KEEP OUR Houses CooL.-Thc Sci

tor the securing of cool houses in warm wealth.
Ter:
The first necessity is thorough draft.
This can always be obtained by opening ev-
'ery door and window in the basement, the top
|of every window above, and by throwing each
door wide open but above all, be sure that
the trap-door in the roof is open, and there is
lplenty of air room from in down the stairs, so
that which ever be the direction of the wind
there will be at least one ascending current Of
air in the house. Another requisite is shade

Texan made these industrious little insects
useful to himself and our economical popula-
'tiun generally. 1t is we'll known to The citl-

capped the attention of horticulturalsts else

IN gourd Of shape somewhat resembling an,

LA roe bulbs, while the centre is exceedingly
small, the bulbs at each end swelling out alb:
sruptly, thus admirably fitting the gourd for
Vessel to hold any kind of liquid, while it may
sbe secured to the horn of a travellers saddle

lin earlier times they answered the purposes OF

From their peculiar formation, it has always
