Mr.. Goodrich proposed Department OF Parks

the proposition as to the parks was adopted; bur
the proposal TO retain the Commissioners met with
opposition, on the ground that they were pr0secut

that he did not think he would live until the parks

sioners had already spent several millions OF dollars
more than was necessary. According to the new
charter the heads OF all the commissions should be

STUFFED CABBAGE.

Take large fresh cabbage and cut out
the heart; fill the place with stuff g,
made of cooked chicken or.veal, chopped
very fine and highly seasoned and rolled
into balls with 7olk of egg. Then tie
the cabbage firmly together and boil 10 a
covered kettle for two hours. This makes
a delicious dish, and is useful for using
small pieces of cold meat.

Calves should have place by them

undisturbed by older animals. A coed

and free access to good water are equally

will visit them once or twice day, al

you will DE pretty sure to find them glad
to see you, and ready for their rations.

HOW TO yENTILATE WITH A COMMON
STOVE.

HOW TO yENTILATE WITH A COMMON
| The means most frequently used, in
this country, for procuring warmth and
ventilation. is the cast-iron stove. Ca
| ;harine Beechcr and many other authors
| have denounced this American Institu
ton as unhealthy, pernicious, and aetu
ally poisonous aud such, in too many
cases, it continues to be in the house
holds where it is used, But all this may
be changed. The stove may be so ar
ranged as to form healthy, as we'll as
convenient and economical, means OF
| heating a room. 1t is especially avail
able in cases of comparatively small and
| isolated rooms, which have little connec-
ton with other apartments, and conse-
quently little ventilation in the winter,
other than that which we shall describe.
The essential thing to contrive in the
case of cast iron stove is, first. that
| supply Of air shall. be introduced directly
| from, the external atmosphere second.
that it shall be properly moistened and
third. that the impure air shall be car
ried away through an opening near the
floor. For the first purpose tin pipe,
IF three or four inches in diameter for
an ordinary-sizeh office or sitting room,
should be carried through the wall or an
upper window pane, along the ceiling Of
a room to point above the stove. Thro'
this pipe. which needs no damper, the
fresh, cool air from without is drawn in
by the daft created by the fue. It falls
upon the heated stove, and radiates
thence. thoroughly warmed, toward the
with abundant vapor of water, which
must be kent avaporating upon the stove
IAN eartLen pan is preferable, for this
purpose, to the scanty urns which decor
ate the ordinary stove-and it is thus
made moist and respirable But the inn
pure air, how is this to be got rid of?
Important as it is. in this particular
case. to have the fresh air come from |
above, it is equally important. in this |
and in every case, to have the foul air |
expelled below, at the level of the floor. |
The warm air supplied from above. will |
crowd d, wn toward the floor, in spite of |
its natural tendency to rise, the warm
air which is charged with carbonic acid. |
After warming our feet upon its way. it |
will then escape through a register placed |
at the level of the floor. while more fresh |
warmed air comes pouring from above. |
In this way constant circulation is kept |
up while the little inward drafts of cold |
air from the doors and windows are pre-
vented. These drafts are more danger
Gus, because they are local. than more
general Ones You may sit in a cool |
breeze without risk. when small current |
of the same air, pouring through crack |
in the window upon yonr back, might be |
highly dangerous,
We have thus attained warmth, mois-
ture. and ventilation from our much
abused stove. With these three desi-
derata We need not fear the dangerous
gases that are said to be transmitted from
the burning Goals through the very iron

EATING AT NIGHT.


As the day closes we all become weary
and the body pears for repose and rest,
which Only the quiet chamber can fully
give. The whole system is weak-feet.
fingers aud arms, every thing. There Is
not muscle in the body that does not
participate in that iiredness. The sto
mach is collection of muscle. and these
are called to do the work at each meal +;
and tn dispose of the meal is a work OF
four or FIVE hours. The more that Is eat
Ell, the more work has TO be performed.
ANY one can see, then. the striking alb
snrdlty of giving an already weak sto-
mach four - b e hours work to do at
the close of the day, of giving rest to the
body 10y sleep. and still keeping the sto-
mach hard at work till near daylight. Its
| repose then is the :epo>e of exhaustion,
and it does not wake up for break fast any
more than the body would if kept out oil
bed lon. past midnight. Not being wax
cd up. it does no, call for food and there
is no appetite (no seeking as the Wort
literally means) tor food.

THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-Atter the criticism
upon the domestic drama Of Harry Watkins, en-
titled sSet in Gold or the One Bright Spot" which
was performed at the academy last night, we
were prepared for an unusually fine representa-
tlon of character 1t is scarcely necessary 10 add
that no lover OF good acting could last night have
been disappointed. Fhe play Is not only novel
aud original, but IN writing 1t, Mr.. Watkins seems
to have adapted II expressly to that peculiar
talent which he possesses OF throwing the whole
force OF the Irish character into tue exhibition OF
an hour. The 1dse sought to be Illustrated Is that
OF avarice struggling With natural anecton-of
mises weighing the attraction Of gold against
thelove.of a son, and the accomplished actor
held his audience spell.bound from the begin.
ming to the end OF the performance. more
thrilling drama has not beeh put upon our stage
for long time, and one can readily understand
how rthas added fresh laurels TO the fame Of the
author actor. Mrs. watkins as Blddy McNhlty
achieved another success, and received many a
plaudit as tribute to ttfe charmlbg manner in
Which she sings her way into the peoples heart.
: The Adventures Of Love letter. concluded the
entertainment To night Mrs. Rose Watkins will
have benefit The play selected for the occasion
is "Molly Bawn" and We venture the prediction it
Is one which will draw large and appreciative au'
dience. Some how or other one likes 10 Wbrate
suddenly "from grave to gay, from lively TO
severe" and the Watkins have the wonderful
art OF bringing salt water to the eyes, aud In
moment afterwards stretching mouths from ear
to ear to catch the trlckling tear.drop.
