If children could be taught few simple
rules about avoiding drafts, changes from
heavy to light clothing, sitting down in
cool room when prespiring freely, after
exercise, and so forth, what vast amounts
of money would be saved in doctors bills
But such things are not taught the chill
dren, hence they are to be learned as
adults later on in life, generally TO their
sorrow.-AmerTcdn Builder.
THERE is probably no more delicious,
nutritious, and digestible food than chest
nuts properly roasted. If taken fresh
from the burr they may be placed in a
covered chatting dish, and placed over a
brisk fire for ten or fifteen minutes, shak-
ing them all the time, as you would pop
corn. If they are somewhat dried, as We
usually find them in the market, they
should be boiled for about an hour and
then roasted over Goals or in a hot stove
oven, for a few moments. Raw chestnuts
should never be eaten by persons of weak

AN EASY ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENT.
Take an open-faced watch that has a
crystal considerably convex, or full, and
lay upon it, nicely balanced, a common,
long stemmed, clay tobacco pipe. Then
take wine glass or plain surfaced goblet,
and, after vigorously rubbing it with a
silk handkerchief, hold the edge of the
glass to the tip of the stem of the pipe,
and you can cause the pipe to revolve
upon the face of the watch, with the elec-
tricity degenerated on the glass. This is
very pleasing experiment, and one
which almost any one can try.-,Schoo'ddy

AwRITER in the Western Rural says: 81
have been inventing a machine for trim.
ming off strawberry runners, and it works
so well that thought others might like
to try it. The strawberry trimmer is
a hoop of sawplate, say two or three
inches wide, and about three feet long
the lower edge sharp. Long, thin strips
of tin secure the hoop to wooden han
die, about five feet long. A set screw
fastens the Tapped ends of the sawplatt
together and thus allows the hoop to bC
made larger or smaller. Use the trim
mer' as the housewife cuts biscuits will
a cake-cutter, the rim being large enough
to encircle the plant and cut the run
ners."
WASHING FLANNELs.-It is said by
some, wash in warm water; by others, il
cold water We know that warm waite
will cause shrinking. A large, fine ros,
blanket, washed at three different times
shortened six to seven inches each wash
ing. In the center it pulled up and made
a shapeless thing. We were told to wasl
in warm water and rinse in water of tn
same temperature 1t was done, ant
with perfect success. The blanket is evel
longer and more even. The shrinkin,
seems to take place on the sudden chang
of the temperature from warm water t,
cold. The gradual cooling and dryinl
afterward does not seem to affect any: S,
the slow change in the temperature o
frozen fruit leaves the fruit unhurt.-EI
