The Rest Method Of Arre.ting Fires.

On the first discovery of fire it is of the ut
most consequence to shut, and keep shut, all
doors, " indows or other openings. If the fire
appears at all serious and there are fire engines
ut a reasonable distance, it is best To await
their arrival, as many buildings have been lost
from opening the doors, aud attempting to ex-
tinguish the fires with inadequate means. II
no engines are within reach, it is well to keep n
hand pump. If that is not to be had, the next
best thing is to collect as many buckets outside
the room ON FIRE as can be obtained, keeping the
doors shut; then creep into the room on the
hands and knees (if the heat and smoke are con-
siderabie,) and throw the water as nearly in
the direction of the fire as possible, keeping the
door shut while more water is being collected.
The police of London understand shutting up
fires SO well that they have in many instances
kept fires two or three miles distant from the
engine station shat up till the iremen arrived
in time to extinguish them.

Msefnl aud Curious.
The Fireplace I'm summer.


a fireplace, large or small may not only have
Its nnsightliaess covered, bat il may be made
an attractive and beautiful feature of the room
by converting il into fernery. 1t is well, to
prevent all injury from water, to have shallow
pan or tray made Of galvanized iron; this should
hit the floor of the fireplace, extending as far
forward upon the hearth as may be desirable,
with its edges turned up all around for about
two inches, This is the only expense attending
it.; all the rest is 10 be furnished by the woods
and fields, and is vastly more easy to those who
live in the country than jewellers in towns
though these, if they have taste for rambling,
will find way to accomplish it. Moss covered
rocks are preferable; these to be disposed in
natural manner; woosls-earth is TO ill every space
between and under the stones and fill the pan.
Bring home ferns of all kinds soon As they
show themselves, taking up good clumps of
earth with them. Place the kinds known to be
tall growing mt the rear, the smaller in front,
dispOsing them in informal manner. Then
cover all of the earth with sheets and tufts of
moss to make a complete carpet of green. If in
getting the moss some of the low plants, such Is
Partridge berry and the like, are taken up, all
the better. If the fireplace admits oft, arrange
some kind Of shelf or support within the CHM
ney aud ADORE the opening, upon which may be
set pots or fruit cans OF Ivy and other vines,
which may hang down naturally, or be trained
along the mantle-piece. The engraving of an
old fashioned fireplace thus treated will give an
idea of the plan. Most ferns love shade, and if
supplied with water, will flourish; when any
are found not to like 1t, replace them by others
The sole care will be watering; let the soil be
moist at all times but never ieef and muddy I;
water by sprinkling, this will keep the plants
free of dust and add to their beauty. Those who
are fond of such things may not only hide the
fireplace but derive much pleasure from the care
of such fernery.-4meri0an Agricaifaist.

Evil and GOOD Effect. Of beer.

A daily excess of beer leads to state of full
ness and plethora, aud great accumulation of
fat. This is partly due to a check in the prop
er nutritve changes in the tissues, partly to in-
creased supply OF fat forming substances. The
waste products are imperfectly burned off, aud
accumulate in the system, giving rise to equity
and bilious disorders. The use of beer in mod
Grafton answers several purposes beside the
action of alcohol: it supplies Substances which
are nutritious and fat-forming, and lessons the
destruction of fat, and thus increases the weight
of the body. The free acids and the bitter ex-
tractive matter, which are chiefly derived from
the hops, are useful as stomachic tonics, and
serve 10 promote digestion. The salts also as
sist in nutrition, though in what manner we
do not know. In moderation, therefore, beer
is automatically useful to many

How 10 See the wind.

Take polished metallic surface of two feet
or more, with straight edge. A large handsaw
will answer the purpose. Take windy day,
whether hot or cold clear or cloudy; only let it
not rain or the air be murky. In other words,
let the air be dry and clear, but this is not es-
sential Hold your metallic surface at right
angles to the direction of the wind-i. e., if the
wind is north hold your surface east and west
but instead of holding the surface vertical, in-
cline it ab.ut forty five degrees TO the horizon,
so that the wind striking Chances and flows over

minute and sharply defined object, and you will
see the air flow over water flows over dam.
Make your observations carefully, and you will
hardly fail to see the air, matter how cold.
The result is even better when the sun is OBJ

Ice i'm the Sick Room.

Mention is made in foreign papers Of plan
pursued by an ingenious physician for insuring
a supply of ice for use in sick rooms during the
hottest nights, and without disturbing the pa
tient. This plan is to cut piece of flannel
about nine inches square, and secure it by lig-
allure round the mouth of an ordinary tumbler,
SO as to leave a cup-shaped depression of flannel
within the tumbler TO about half its depth. ln
the flannel cup so formed pieces of ice may be
preserved many hours-all the longer if piece
of flannel from four to five inches square be used
as loose cover to the ice cup. Cheap flannel
with comparatively open meshes is preferable,
as the water easily drains through it, and the
ice is thus kept quite dry.

which occurred on the return of an excursion
party from that city. Soon after the boat had

at the same time giving his rank. "Have you

and replied that he saw nothing ont of the way.

steward, "but what of thati Hasn't fellow a

SALT WATER FOR THE EYEs.-Many persons
are suffering Inconvenience if not pain from weak
ness of the eyes. This sometimes proceeds from
local inflammation, aud sometimes from other
causes Persons who have been thus afflicted
say that they have derived almost immediate.
and in some cases, permanent relief from the
application of salt water rs a bath; and where
the pain has been aggravated, form a compress
saturated with salt water laid on the eye, and
renewed at certain intervals. Opening the eyes
and submerging them in clean salt water has
been found beneficial to those whose eyesight
begins to fail The solution should not be more
than q tablespoonful of salt TO a pint of water,
and less if the eyes are weak and very sensitive.
