DISAGREEABLE ODORS.

People who are obliged TO burn
kerosene oil, know how disagreeable
it Is to enter a room, after brisk
evening walk, and find it filled with
the suffocating fumes of kerosene oil:
used we escape the misery; but in the
country. it Isl common infiiction. The
inmates Of the room may be uncon-
scious of it, or have become accus-
toned to the unwholesome odor.. The
pernicious practice Of using lamps
filled with kerosene, and having the
wick turned down too low, is usually
the cause Of suffocating fumes; the
gas which should be consumed by tho
the flame passes into the atmosphere.
1t Is unnecessary to say that using
kerosene in this way is q most un,
healthy practice. Only good oil should
be burned, and the wick should al
ways be raised to proper height.

A USEFUL sCRAP-BoOK.

One who has never filled a scrap
book cannot imagine its exceeding
usefulness. A good one may be pro-
cured for a dollar or 80. Cut out
YOUR favorite articles, items, receipts,
&c. and lay them in the book. When
YOU have accumulated few and have
a spare half hour, get a small board,
a towel or piece of old muslin, and a
brush with q cp' u boiled flower
paste. or it is aaid, dissolved gum
tragacanth is very good the ordinary
mucilage is apt to stain the paper.
Lay each piece on the board, gum or
paste the back and pla$, 1t smoothly
in the book, laying the cloth yer it to
smooth it and absorb any moisture.
When the book is partially dry 1t can
be placed under pressure, and then 1t
is always ready. The whole takes very
little time when once arranged, and
the advantage is that you save just
what you want, and nothing else, in
strong and durable form; while you
thus have book OF reference-an en-
cyclopedia OF practical knowledge
always within reach.
