a prominent carriage manufacturer
of Nottingham, England-Mr. Starey-
publishes u series of Useful Hints for
the Proper Preservation of a Carriage"
from which we quote the following:
carriage should be kept in an airy,
dry coach house, with a moderate
amount of light; otherwise the colors
will be destoyed.
There should be no communication
between the stables and the coach.
house. The manure heap or PIT should
also be kept as far away as possible.
Ammonia cracks varnish and fades the
colors both OF painting and lining.
A carriage should never, under any
circumstances, be put away dirty.
In washing a carriage, keep out of the
sun, and have the lever end of the
"sets" covered with leather. Use
plenty of water, which apply, where
practicable, with hose or syringe, TAX
ing great care that the water is not
driven into the body, 10 the injury of
the lining. When forced water is not
attainable, use for the body a large, soft
sponge. This, when saturated, squeeze
over the panels, and 10y the flow down
of the water the dirt will soften and
harmlessly run off; then finish with a
soft chamois leather and an old silk
handkerchief. The same remarks APP
ply to the underwork and wheels, ex-
cept that when the mud is well soaked
soft mop, free from any hard sub
stance in the head, may be used. Never
use "smoke BRUSH" which, in con.
junction with the grit from the road,
acts like sand.paper on the varnlsh,
| scratching it, and, OF course, etfectually
removing all gloss. Never allow water
to dry itself on the carriage, as it in
variat ly stains.
Be careful to grease the bearings OF
the fore carriage so as to allow it to
turn freely. If it turns with difficulty
the shafts or pole will probably strain
or break.
Examine a carriage occasionally, ano
whenever a bolt or slip appears to be
getting loose, tighten it upwith a wrench
and always have little repairs done a
once.
Never draw out or back carriage into
coach house with the horses attached
as more accidents occur from this thar
any other cause.
Headed carriages should never stano
with the head down, and aprons o
every kind should be frequently un
| folded or they will soon spoil.

Liebig on Apples.

Justice Liebig, the great chemist,
thinks that the Importance OF apples
as food has not been sufficiently esti-
mated or understood. He says: "Be-
sides contributing large proportion OF
sugar, mucilage, and other nutritious
compounds IN the form of food, they
contain such a fine combination of veg
etable acids, extrac i've substances, and
aromatic principles, as to act power
fully in the capacity of refrigerants,
tonics, and antiseptics; and when free
lv used at the season of ripeness, by
rural laborers and others, probably
maintain and strengthen the power of
productive labor"

Danger from Wet Clothes.

Few persons understand fully the
reason why wet clothes exert such a
chilling influence. 1t is simply this /:
Water, when it evaporates, carries on
an enormous amount OF heat, in what IS
called the latent form. One pound OF
water in vapor contains as much heat as
nine or ten pounds of liquid water, and
all this heat must, Of course, be taken
from the body. If our clothes are
moistened with three pounds OF water,
that is, il, by wetting, they are render
ed three pounds heavier, these three
pounds will, in drying, carry offas much
heat as would raise three gallons OF ice
cold water to the boiling point. No
wonder that damp clothes chill u.s.

The next morning Mrs. Jones invited
her husband to take walk, but without

They stood in front OF the house in
which he desired to live.
Wouldn't you like to go in?" she
asked.
Yes. It's pity we haven't got the
