THE COMING PIANO-STEINwAY Up
RIGHT-McsSrS. Adams X Lucas, l227
Market street, have recently succeeded
in introducing the Steinway Upright
Pianos in Wheeling, by the sale Of
several, of those superior instruments to
some Of our citizens.
The Upright Piano l., from It's small.
compact form and handsome exterior.
especially suited 10 the boudoir, the re-
csption room and the parlors of many
houses where a Grand or Square Piano
could not conveniently be placed.
McssrS. Stcinway X Sons have, after
long and earnest study and experiments.
succeeded in producing Upright Piano
fortes which are the most perfect in,tru-
mcnts of their class ever constructed.
The volume of tone is fully equal TO any
of Steinway.s best Square Grand Pianos,
while the quality Is OF the most exquisite
musical character-pure sympathetic.
and in the highest degree pliablc. The
durability of these new Upright Pianos.
and their capacity ofstanding in tune, is
unparalleled in the history Of piano max
Ing, and even greater than that OF the
best Grand and Square Pianos.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
these Instruments; in fact, they must Ice
seen and heard 10 be appreciated.
There is no doubt whatever that the
Stcinway Upright Panic will shortly dis
place other styles Of instruments, and the
Messrs. Adams X Lucas. sole agent, for
the same, assure us that there is rapidly
increasing demand here for the same, and
that they intend in the future to keep a
stock OF them constantly on hand.

1t is worth knowing that if one volume
Of castor oil be dissolved in two or three
volumes Of spirits Of wine, it will render
paper transparent, and the spirits rapid
ly evaporating. the paper in few minutes
b. comes fit for use. A drawing in pencil
or India ink can thus b. made, and if the
pal,cr is placed in spirits Of wine the oil
is dissolved out, restoring the paper to
its natural color.
Many persons in preparing potatoes for
cooking pare off thick slice from the
surface instead Of digging out the eyes.
The skinning process is all wrong, as the
strength of the vegetable lies near the
surface-the starch growing less album

best way is to scour them well, and
either bake or boil them with their skins
on.
The smoke from the wick Of an ex-
tinguished candle is very deleterious, and
breathing it in quantities would soon
cause death. Valentine mentions case
of a company OF carousers who tricked a
boy sleeping in the corner of room, by
one of their number holding to the boy s
nose the smoke Of blown-out candle.
After half an hour the boy fell into short
breathing, trembling, and cramps, and
died in three days. The composition of
this smoke is carbureted hydrogen, car
bonic oxide, burnt olein, etc. When
putting out candle light before going to
bed, always do it so that there shall lie no
turning wick left to poison the air Of the
room.
Potatoes are adapted to be eaten With
lean meat-the starchy potatoes furnish
ing the fattening and heating elements
which lean meat lacks, while the lean
meat supplies the bone and muscle
making elements not afforded by potato
or fine -four bread. Fat meat affords
heating and fattening element, like pota.
to, but in form less easily digested by
most persons.
Porcelain dishes which have become
cracked may, it is said, be rendered

pouring it off and allowing the adherent
film to dry slowly.
Flour kept in barrels for a long time
often acquires peculiar odor, supposed
to be derived from the barrel. This
smell actually indicates an incipient de.
composition prejudicial to Dread-making,
owing to the gluten having become par.

preferable to keep -four in sacks. unless
for short periods.

THE USE OF RICE.

Most readers think this is something
easily prepared. So it is, perhaps, but few
nurses have any idea Of the necessity of
having it properly done that is, cook
ingsi until every grain becomes per
fectly softened. IL the grains are not re-
dacea - this soft state, the rice is al
most certain. when swallowed. to irritate
the digestive organs. and instead of
soothing the parts and sustaining
strength, will actually produce diarrhea,
etc. This has been frequently noticed
in hospitals
When properly boiled until each par.
ticle becomes so softened that the grain
cannot be detected when eaten. but not
cooked SO much that the shape of the
grain is destroyed, and the mass re-
duced to the appearance Of paste, there
are few articles Of diet for the sick which
can be made more acceptable to the taste
of:nvalids than boiled rice.
Rice is inferior in nutritious Qualities
to wheaton -four. and should BY no means
be depended en- as main constituent OF
the dietary for infants. but We NAV sup
ply al agreeable change, especially when
the bowels are in relaxed condition.
1t has been favorite food for chill
dren ever since its first introduction. and
IS recommended by many of the earliest
English writers on the management of in
fants and children. Every nurse has her
own formula for the preparation Of rice
loods- The following is very good one:
Take two tablcspoonfulls Of the best rice
and soak for IN hour in cold water. Pour
away this water, and then macerate and
gently simmer the rics IN quart of
water Tor Two or three hours. Str.in
