At this seaton scarcely two other artieles Of
household outfit contribute more to domestic
comfort, economy and luxury than those which
condnce to the reservation OF per,shable a.ti,
cles Of food, and to the purity Of the water used
in the household.
The Refrigerator has Of late years drawn
much and careful attention, and from being
simple ice-box, has passed into q combipa.
tion and incorporation Of scientific principles,
which hare secured perfection in it, resu +
once deemed impossible. The immediate or th+
near contact Of ice, and the water from the sane
works injury to very numerous articles for the
table, from the inevitable damnness Of the at.
mosphere.
Again, The close and confined receptacle Of
the common ics boz even when it kept the de
sired low range Of temperature, was itself
another source Of injury from zdei Of rsntitat,on
the taste and odor Of some particular yiand.
communicating to and davoring almost pereep-
tib'y others shut up with them.
These two erils hare been the fertile theme Of
study aud labor among the inventors, until
lew seasons past. when something very near
perfection had been attained, and there are now
in masket several refrigerators claiming to m.
swerthese ends. Winship's Patent, is eminent
ly Of this class and is rapidly becoming favor
'te among housskeepers; indeed wherever it has
been introduced such has been the result. tits
made Of rererai t,z-s, the largt at being quite
stzeabie closet Tue ice bGx is above, and the
water thence is drained of without passing into
the food chamber at all, which lying below il
reached only by the currents Of dry, cold air
from the ice chamber.
Food is thus kept cold bva constantly chang.
ing supply OF cold air, or By means Of slides tle
currents may be shut of at will.
We have spoken of another member Of this
partnership Of summer luxurie+, aud its name
is upon our pen every time we hare occasion to
refer to the moods Of old Michigan, when in it,
angry and disturbed condition, the wind "on
saore," The supply Of the Wafer Works comes
to us milky and turbid, esen ifit bear no worse
burdens than ioely dissolved clay.
The FiAtr is the only remedy, and as hi.
cannot be spilled on large scale, and to tn,
reservoir or street MAN, it devolEes upon our
citizens to avail themaelses Of it in thei. own
hones.
The kedzie Water Filter has been In use in
this city among many Of our readers fer several
gears past, and it is an untailing source Of VS.
ter "pure and uudebled," blow the winds high
or low, on or OF our shore. We know indeed
Of several cases where one of these has been
made the rather bulky, but entirely sensible
prescription OF q physician, and to the relief and
advanta: :e Of those who hare been directly ben
ef,ted By the complete and perfect purity Of the
water, thus secured.
Like the last named, the Filters are Of several
siz.f, ranging from No. to No, 4. the former
the smallest size. With either one of these and
Refrigerator We should ch.erfully undertake
the guarantee of q Large accession to the family
comfort apd happiness Of any Of our readers
~bo may choose to avail themselves Of the lint.
We hare selected these two articles aud set
them af at in company because both form
prominent hut not engrossing feature in the ex
tensiye H1usekeep.rs' Emporium on the corner
Of Luke md Fra1klin street. Mr. George has
been lorg and prominently in that trade, and
ID the manufacture OF 4 wide variety of useful
articles appertatniug to the working in brass,
tin, and zinc. His new prsmises are worth q
visit, aud it the result be the selection ofouo OF
both of the articles named lhe moments will be
of pleasing and nerrnapent yalue
