USES OF SAND BAa.--Onc of the most
convenient articles to be used IN sick
room is sand-bag. Get somc clean, fine
sand, dry it thoroughly in kettle on the
stove, make bag about eight inches
square or flannel, fill 1t with the dry sand
sew tho opening carefully together. and
cover the bag with cotton or lined cloth.
This Will prevent the sand from sitting out
and will also enable you to heat the bag
quickly by placing 1t in the oven, or even
ON the top of tho stove. After once using
this you will never again attempt to warm
the feet or hands of sick person with a
bottle of hot water or brick. Tho sand
holds the heat long time, and the bag
can be tucked up to the buck without hurt
ing tho Invalid. 1t is good plan to make
Two or three of the bags and keep them
ready for use.

How VINES CLIMp.--Prof. Brewer, Of
Washington College, Pa J, communicates to
the american journal Cf Science ana
1ffS tho result of some experiments made by
him on climbing Vincs-the hop, the Lima
bean and the morning glory. lie finds that
they will climb around a transparent glass
pipe just us well rs anything else, and they
arc most ardent in their embraces when the
pole Is warmer than the surrounding air.
During the DAY tho vine is attracted to-
ward the light, but at night, and especially
on cold nights, 1t turns TO the pole. lie
learns, also, that the color of the pole makes
no difference; the carcssing instinct of the
vine has no prejudice against any shade.
The clement OF constancy is very largely
developed, the vinc after 1t has reached
tho pole, showing II much stronger tendency
to wind around it than it did before To reach
it. 1t is, doubtless, true that bean will
climb around glass pipe rs freely rs s.ny
thing else; but, as hint to practical men,
it may be sad here that vine will make
much greater progress when ii has Il rough
stick to climb around than 1t will when the
stick Is smooth, The vine cannot adhere
to the smooth pole, and spends its force in
trying to hold on. On rough stick it finds
support, and, as in the case OF some beans,
reaches the top much sooner than other
wise. Another thing is, that grape vines
ana oil vines grow much more rapidly with
stake TO climb to than without one If
one has choice vine which 1t is desired
should run up quickly, stake 1t at once.
