A N0rel Light-Take an oblong phial
of the whitest and clearest glass and
put into il piece of phosphorus about
the size of pea. Pour some olive oil,
heated to the boiling point, upon the
phosphorus; fill the phial about one
third full, and cork it tightly. To use
this novel light. remove the cork. allow
the air to enter the phial, and then re-
cork it. The empyt space in the phia-
al becomes luminous, and the light od-
tained will be equal to that of a lamp.
When the light grows dim its power can
be increased by taking out the cork and
allowing fresh supply of air to enter
the phial. In winter it is sometimes
necessary tO.heat the phial between the
hands in order to increase the fluidity
of the oil. The apparatus thus pre-
pared may be used for six months.

THE CRANBERRY As House PLANT.
The common cranberry is most at
tractive plant when properly cultivated
in pots, and can endure good deal of
neglect which would be fatal to other
plants. A compost of muck and sand
is the proper material for potting it in.
Although usually regarded as aquatic
in its nature, it will not do to have the
soil saturated with water. What it re-
quires is that water be within reach of
its roots. and that the soil shall be one
through which water can rise readily
by capillary attraction. Let the pot
stand in about an inch of water and il
will thrive better than at any greater
depth. The cranberry roots readily
from cuttings, or it can be propagated
by bending down the sprays and cover
ing them with moist compost. Ii is
beautiful at all times of The year and
especially so after the fruit commences
TO rIpen. Its red berries will remain
on the vine for long time, and are
highly ornamental.

CLEANING TN wARE.-Acids should
never be employed to clean tin ware,
because they attack the metal, and re-
move from the iron of which it forms
thin coat. We refer to articles made
of tin plate. which consists of iron
covered with tin. Rub the article first
with rotten-stone and sweet oil, then
finish with whitening and piece OF
soft leather. Articles made wholly Of tin
should be cleaned in the same manner.
In dry atmosphere, planishel tin
ware will remain bright for Il long
period; but they soon become tarEish-
ed in moist air.

DRINKING WATEI.-Water can be
kept cool for drinking in warm weather
by the following method: Get fresh
water, let it be kept in an unglazed
earthenware pitcher wrapt around
with two or three folds of coarse cotton
cloth kept constantly wet The Theory
of cooling water in this manner Is the
absorption OF heat frem it by the eyap-
Grafton of the moisture in the cotton
cloth. Expansion produces cold COM

IL is now proposed to manufacture
bricks entirely of new flint, without
the admix .ure of alumina, or any other
substance, to detract in any degree
from the complete refractory charact"-
of the material. In the operation. the
plan is to treat the flints in such Il man
ner rs to produce from them, when in
pulveriZed condition, bricks or blocks
of the greatest attainable structural
strength and durability-superior, in
the various fire-resisting properties,
to the best descriptions of hre-clay IA
brics. The material when burned re-
sembles fine-grained freestone, and
is sufficiently hard to resist the action
of the weather. 1t is in furnace work
and similar applications, however,
that bricks made in this manner are
expected to prove most successful.

THE osier willow will grow in almost
any soil er situation but to produce long
switches the ground must be good.
They are very easily propagated from
cuttings of last seasons growth.
Make them ten or twelve inches long
and plant very early in the spring; as
soon as the ground is settled. If they
are TO make trees, plant them from q TO
feet apart. If planted about ten or
twelve inches apart Oh the bank of a
ditch and kept trimmed they will make
an excellent hedge in few years, and
the roots will prevent the banks from
washing away or being broken down.
The young growth makes excellent
withes for tying bundles and many
things for which strings are usually
employed. Nurserynen appreciate
their value for this purpose and use
them al,Iost exclusively for tying bum
dies of trees. We would particularly
call the attention of farmers to this
cheap tying material for binding corn
fodder. For this purpose they should
be cut down every year and allow
young suckers TO start from the root
these will grow from four to eight feet
long during the summer. We cannot
give any information as to the value or
profit of them as an article of merchan-
disc, except that some persons tried 1t a
few years ago, said they had no diff
Guilty in raising o. preparing the will

FRUIT IN CELLARS Fruit ia cellars
is likely to suffer from heat rather than
cold. In the slow operation of ripen-
ing, heat and carbOnic acid are given
off. Whenever the temperature ap-
proaches 40 degrees, the outer air, if
colder, should be let in to reduce it.
In the house cellar the accumulation of
clrbonic acid would be injurious to the
health of the family, and it is highly
important that this be removed by ven-
tilation. In fruit cellars apart from
the house, this is not necessary. as the
presence of this gas, so injurious to ami
mals, is neutralized by tire atmospheric
air.
