Never fill stove more than half or
two-thirds full of hard COAL even in the
coolest weather. When the fire is low,
never shake the crate or disturb the
ashes, but add from ten to fifteen Jumps
of coal and set the draft on. When these
are heated through and somewhat ignited
add the amount necessary for new fire,
but do not disturb the ashes yet. Let the
draft be open half an hour. Then shake
out the ashes. The coal has thoroughly
ignited, and will keep the stove at high
heat from six to twelve hours, according
to the coldness of the weather In very
cold weather, after the fire is made, add
coal every hour-O0al Gazette.

Rose Cuttings.-Max Klose, an ex-

throwing my prunings away this spring,
l used them as cuttings, putting whole
lot of them, about dozen or more, in a
marmalade jar filled with coarse sand and
water, with sufficient of the latter to be
about a quarter of an inch or so above
the sand. then plunged the jar in a
slight hot bed, and let the cuttings have
all the light and sun possible-never
shading once. After eight weeks exam

them, and the shoots TO be in the health.

Out OF about 1870 cuttings of some three
dozen different kinds of roses, l only
missed striking fifteen, which l think is

To Restore Scratched Furniture.
Scrape one pound of beeswax into shay
ings in pan; add half gallon of spirits
of turpentine and one pint of linseed oil.
Let it remain twelve hours, then stir it
well with a stick into liquid while stii-
ring add one quarter pound shellac var
nish and one ounce alkanet root. Put
this mixture into gallon jar and stand II
before the fire or in an oven, for week
Ito keep it just warm); shake it up three
or four times a day. Then strain 1t
through hair sieve and bottle it. Pour
about teaspoonful on wad or baize; go
lightly over the face and other parts of
mahogany furniture; then rub briskly
with a similar dry wad, and in three
minutes it will produce dark brilliant
polish unequaled. Another preparation
may be made as follows Make a mix
ture of three parts linseed oil and one part
spirits of turpentine. 1t not only covers
the disigured surface, but restores wood
to its original color, and leaves lustre
