Want OF Ventilation.

The usual modes of warming buildings
are attended by many evils, which directly
affect the health and lives of our families,
who are obliged to remain within doors
by far the greater part of the time.
The entire absence of the means of
ventilation i'm most cases, and the failures
which have followed most attempts
in this direction, make the subject one of
the most vital importance. Bad air is a
sLow poison; that is the trouble. People
go on taking it into their lungs day after
day and night after night. They grow
pale, their lungs suffer, the circulation is
languid, they take colds readily the chest,
the stomach, the skin become disordered,
and host of chronic diseases attack them.
A little carbonic acid taken every day
does not kill man. 1t is almost pity
IL don't. @
If a red-hot stove or furnace destroyed
instantly one man in every town daily for
week, there might be some salvation for
the nation. If, instead of fainting away
in crowded and badly ventilated public
assemblies, people occasionally died out
right in convulsions, the authorities
would take the matter in hand, and make
IL penal for the owners Of such buildings
10 open them for public use without at
tending to the proper conditions for the
preservation of health. When thing is
only slow poison, the age is in too much
of a hurry to attend to it. Thousands Of
dollars are lavished on luxuries
and superhuities, while the sir In
our dwellings is poisoned and burnt
by heating arrangements whose only
recommendation is that they are chedp
In other words, our wealth'est men ar'
too po0T TO afford pure air for themselve
and families. The vital life element II
supplied in their green houses and conserv
stories regardless of expense, while scioni
of the human stock, binds and blossoms o
immortality, are permitted TO wither snC
decay in the sickly atmosphere produced
by stoves and hot-air furnaces.-Hetc YorI

WHAT is THICK SowTNa.-Alderman
Mechi, the eminent English farmer, and
the advocate of thin seeding, speaking of
his present grain fields eays: / could not
find the half acre of wheat drilled with
only two pecks per acre, for 1t looked as
thick as where the bushel was sown.
Thick sewers should really come and see
my 80 acres of wheat call one bushel

pccks, and black oats with two bushels,

TT is said that to remove claf from an
animals eye, all that is needed Is to roll q
! piece of paper around a little stick any
length or size desired, and put into aquill
some white coffee-crushed sugar and blow
it into the eye. Hold the COW by the
horns and take by surprise. Generally
two applications are sufficient If the film
is completely over the eye, the sugar
scours and cleanses and heals all at the
same time. tried it twice In the winter
of 1854, on the same cow, with complete
success. Both times il was from oat chaf,

How TO CURE HAY "A correspondent
of the ~ H. Farmer saysi A process OF
curing hay has been adopted and followed
by several farmers of my acquaintance
which, as far as can learn, has proved
very satisfactory for several years. The
hay is all cut in the afternoon, when en-.
tirely free from external moisture. Next
day, after the dew is all off, it is turned

and opening next day. All such labor IL
saved. One man who has practiced this
tseveral years is justly considered one Of
the best farmers in town, His stock look
well, and produce as much as any. Hi:
farm improves yearly, and he makes an
annual investment every year outside
He considers his hay to be better thar
when cured the old.fashioned way, and il
certainly looks and smells as well as any

How TO DRY WILD Flowers drying
wild flowers requires great skill and pa
tience as these fragile blossoms of The
field perish SO quickly. The points to at
tend TO are to dry the specimens quickly
thoroughly, and with pressure that will
not crush them. A good method is L
place each specimen in a sheet of brown
paper, and interpose several empty sheet
between each sheet that is filed then I,
place them I'M napkin press, and pres
them gently for the first day or two, jus
enough TO prevent the leaves and flower
from shriveling. When the papers ar,
quite damp, separate them, and spreat
them on the floor of a room where the,
can dry a little; then gather them togeth
or and place them again in the press
rather increasing the pressure This op
Grafton should be repeated daily till tn
flowers are quite dry. A quicker an
better, but more troublesome way, is t

KEEPING CooL.-The inten sely hot
weather of summer is on us, and persons
working out OF doors are liable to sun
stroke, and if that is not always imminent,
other ailments are that an intense heating
OF the blood and brain makes more or less
sure. Ii the head is kept cool, the man is
generally safe; and an experience in the
bayfield, that reaches over nearly dozen
summers, before moving machines were
in general use, leads us to say that a
bunch of green grass worn in the hat,
moistening it occasionally when it gets
hot and somewhat dry, is one of the best
preventives to sunstroke or dizziness, as
well as most agreeable arrangement for
promoting comfort while at work. A wet
cloth is perhaps as good, but the wisp OF
moist grass is always at hand, and ii ap-
propriated as suggested, will work Won

The appropriations to the army and

BERLIN, October l0-The fighting at

serious, the battle being prolonged
throughout the day. The French, who
were endeavoring to pierce their way
through the Prussian lines, were assailed
upon all sides by fresh divisions of Prus-
slams, which had been advanced to the
support Of General Van Hammer during
Friday night The French made many
brilliant but desperate and hopeless, at
tempts TO crush the Prussian center, and
the battle of Saturday ended as had
its predecessor on Friday, in the
defeat of the French, they being
driven in confusion into Metz. The car
mage was more dreadful than that of Fri
day, and the Prussians now have the
task of providing for the dead and
wounded Of both armies, which will
reach an alarming number. The losses
of the French and Prussians were very
heavy-the slaughter resembling that of
