THE AMERICAN SMOKER,


THE AMERICAN SMOKER,
Consisting of great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns Of Cigar Tubes; also, sew
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes. The peculiarly
about these articles is that each one is arrang-
ed SO as to receive damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has TO
pass on it's way to the mouth. This damp
sponge not only cools the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper
tv of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive. Smokers will find the use OF
these Tubes II luxury never before attained
except by using the Turkish water-jar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habtual smoker and preserve the sweetness
of the breath.
THE AMERICAN CARPET HOOK
Is a little eontrivance for putting down carpets
without tacks. This is a new article, which
has never before been upon the market But
it possesses the merit of enabling person to
put down or take up carpet of the largest
size in general use in fifteen minutes, without
any injury to the floor or carpet 1t is very
cheap-cheaI er in the long run than tacks-
ard the great faculty with which even serv-
ant can take up and put down carpets, with
out the possibility of a mistake, renders 1t IN
valuable to the houSekeeper.
THE AMERICAN PEN HOLDER l. WIPER
1t is a neat invention for holding a wet sponge
into which the pen is thrust, always coming
out clean and ready for use. a very conven-
isn't article for the Counting House Desk and

WASHING HoRsEs LEGS. 1t is quite COM
mon custom fer carmen aud hostler to " foun-
der noble horses, by the erroneous practice
Of dashing of cold water on their legs when
they are dirty, In regard to this practice Sir
George Stephens the eminent veterinary sur
geon saws, Wherever it is necessary to wash
horses legs, do it in the morning. Most
grooms, acting on a different principle, wash
them as soon as the animal comes in. | am
convinced this is bad practice. When the
roads are dirty, and the weather wet, and the
legs already soaked, washing can do no harm +;
but to delige the legs with water the moment
a horse enters the yard, heated with exercise,
is to my mind, as unnatural aud absurd rs to
Jump into a shower bath after playing an
hour at cricket. My plan is rubbing down
with straw and dry brush, and the next
morning wash as clean as soap and water can
make them. Pick and wash the Soles as soon
as the horse comes in"
