The Utica Herald calls attention to
Ala Necessity of having insurance papers
for cheese factories made out with care
~ the case of one not long since bnrned,
,ba nroprietor recovered the insurance on
the building but not on the cheese, because
.ho in surance on the latter had been made
~ in his own name instead Of those Of
ths natrons to whom it belonged. z y I
To clean your hair and head, beat up
.ho volk of an egg; rub it all through the
hair: wash and rinse in warm, soft water;i
drv with a towel as much as pos! bile.
Avoid going out before the hair iskthor-
ougbly dry, as you will be likely to take
coid Ammonia is also very good to
cleanse the hair, and hair brushes. ~ A tea,
snoon of LIQUID ammonia in pint of warm
water is a proper proportion. Add lit
little SOAP, wash the hair, and rinse well
in clear, warm wpter. Wien dry, brush
ten minutes, and dry with some clean,
soft oil Westert Rural.
The reason room takes so long to
he warmed after a fire, has been kindled is
that the air goes up in steady column
from the mouth of the register, sides of
tbe stove OF front of the CRATE, to the cell
inc af the room, and, from thence begins
IN distribute itself down ward. which, of
course, is a slow process. TO expedite
this take palm leaf fan, shawl, large
towel, or something similar, fan violently
or swing the shawl vigorously, thus com
pelling the upper and lower strata of air
10 unite, the hot upper to mix With the
cold lower. In this way the upper por-
ton, where the thermometer would indi,
cate 50, and the lower where it would
stand at 40, will be compelled to mix, and
one would be surprised to witness how
much sooner the apartment becomes com
ortable.-Ecchange ! VII III III
When a woman isabout to choose black
silk. it is well to pull thread out OF the
"tram" or filing. She must try the
strength of the thread. If it breaks easily
the examination has gone far enough; it is
wisdom to look further. We will suppose
the thread has been tried and indicates
some back bone, then it is necessary, II the
woman is right brave, and dare to do such
thing with handsome pair OF clerk s
ewes bearing down upon her like a
privateer upon poor little merchantmen,
to seize the silk by the corner and rub it
lust as the washerwoman would do when
she intends to remove stain. III this
awful ordeal can be performed to per-
fection-remember some muscle must be
brought into play--the silk is honest and
legitimate; it will come out triumphant.
If it is heavy with dye, if held up to the
light, Sigh traces of disaster may be
discerned- ErchanR. EtfG NO
Few people think, at the time of
planting trees in Npring and fall, how they
will look in winter. There are some
species of trees that appear very beautiful
when clothed in their foliage, but when
this is gone they look stiff, illshaped, and
anything but graceful. We should re-
member that trees are to be seen in winter
as well as summer, and their appearance
at both seasons should be taken into con.
sideration at the time of selecting the va
rieties for planting. In our Northern
States it is often far more pleasant in Win
ter to have our dwellings exposed to sun
shine than shadow; consequently large
eSergreens should not be placed SO near as
to make our homes look gloomy Decid-
uous trees are far preferable to evergreens
near the house, for at the time when shade
is wanted they give it, and in winter their
naked stems but slightly obstruct the rays
which bestow both light and heat upon
our dwellings.-Hearth and Home.
