Gas MxrERs IN WHITES. winter is
approaching, it may be well for our readers
to know the best way to prevent water in
their gas meters from freezing, and thus avoid
the consequent snnoyances of want Of light
The following is from an exchange " One
or two pin,s OF glycerine, well mixed with
the water, are sufficient for middle-sned
meter, but the quantity must be increased in
proportion to the degree Of cold to which
the meter is expected TO be exposed.
Il possesses another advantage, namely, it re-
tards the evaporation Of the water, which
continually takes place, and also results in
the sudden extinguishing of the lights when
the quantity of water becomes too small. A
sufficient amount of glycerine in the meter
will prevent this evaporation entirely, and
obviate an accident not rarely seen in places
where grea. many gas burners are turned
on-for instance, in church during service, or
in the house when there is party. Glyce.
rine will remedy all. 1t has been in use for
the purpose for some time by the gas-works. =

4 light cone of brass receives the corn
which is held fast by a double row OF teeth
made of mallcable iron, inserted between
the two rows of corn, and drawn into the
cone by means Of screw entering an IRON
nut in the handle. \ brass Ierule covers the
nut and gives a bearing to the shoulder OF
the cone. Two small brass wires, about an
inch and a quarter in length, extend from
the two angles of the ccuter-piece, within the
cone, to the edges OF the broom when filled,
leaving ON each side a small hook to CON
meet a narrow brass band that tiattens and
stificns the broom instead Of sewing. The
difference in weight between this and the
ordinary broom is no more than two or three
ounces and not perceptible. This IS the only
patent in which the amount OF corn can be
varied at pleasure, according as You may
wisha light or heavy broom They wear
much longer than the ordinary brooms, from
tile fact that they are not injured by alter
nate wctting and drying, and cannot work
or shake loose at the handle.
1t would be superiiuous to tell house
keepers that the vast majority OF broomS
would last twice as long if some measure
could be introduced that would secure the
corn to the handle till it could be worn out.

We will sell all the interest secured by the
Letters Patent, Except the right to manu-
facture the metallic part) in any specined
territory. We will furnish the broom com
plete for 5-p per dozen, or we viii fur
fish the handle and metallic part for S.

S- per dozen. Nou will sell them for
50. 90 each We make these different propo-
.itions So as to be able to suit all parties
some may wish TO ill their own brooms,
others may prefer to furnish their own
handles and fill them themselves.
We are now manufacturing the broom,
and viii be ready to fill all orders from those
who have purchased rights. We do not
. wish to sell brOumS except where we have
disposed of Rights, Vat as we desire none 70
7 engage in the business before seeing a broom,
any party who may wish to buy Rights can
first send 81 to the undersigned, and get
samples Should the samples not fill your
expeectation they can be returned at our
exncnse. and the money viii he refunded
/ Now suppose Won should buy county
having a population of $4,000, equal to
about 5000 families Suppose you should
sell broom to one half OF these (and many
VIII buy two) suppose You should make
500 on each one (and You viii make more
suppose it should require three months 10
canvass a county and supply It with brooms,
and suppose you should pay us $500 for the
right YOU would still have profit of $1,000
for three months, $4,000 for year. All
these estimates are low.
out of hundreds of eases, we viii give one,
which is not more than an average, just to IL
lusTrate: Brown & Cook, of Warren, H.,

DayIesSl at our usual rate of selling, (Which,
by the way, is mere nominal figure, (sold
it ont in detachmeutS. and realized a clear
profit of S950,00. All this took place within
a week. And yet the parties who bought
the Towns are making from SO to $1,000 4
day canvassing with the Broom. Graham,
who purchased nine of the Towns makes the
statement. and adds, that in canvassing
three'days he saw but two families who re
fused to purchase a Broom.
w. W. Whiting Of Cupage Co, Ills, bought
one county for $3.50; cleared his county in
the first two days cauNassing.
George Hide, Ogle Co, Ill. purchased that
county; after canvasslng two days his first
order was five hundred hrooms.
j. Lamiel. Kalamazoo Co, Mich purchas-
ed that county for $3.50; the result OF his
first three days labor was $500 cash
This fact we merely give as inference
