The Chief Government Signal Officer Is
medtating change of the term for what has
heretofore been known as 'fair" day. This
was meant to signify day when the sky was
overcast with light clouds, but when neither
snow nor rain fell. The phrase generally
misleads most persons to think a fair day
must necessarily be one when the sun shines,
whereas the kind of weather meant thereby
at the signal Office is an absence Of sunshine
as well as falling weather. The aim is TO
save expense in telegraphng by describing
weather as briefly as possible, so single
word can be used. To replace fair" over
cast and neutral have been suggested.

Pacific Railway Snow Sheds.

These wonderful wooden tunnels cover
forty miles of the Central Pacific railway.
They were first suggested by its practical
vice president, Charles Crecker, but his
companions hesitated through fear Of their
impracticability and expense. They are Of
two kinds, one with very steep roofs and the
other with fiat roofs. They cost per mile
from $4,000, to $12, 600, and in some places,
where heavy masonry was needed, the cost
reached $4,000 a mile. They are firmly
constructed to support the great weight of
snow and resist the rush of a%valanches. Cor
rugated plates of iron separate the building
into sections, and in the great ten mile shed
there are automatic electric fire alarms. At
the summit is an engine and tank always
ready to flood the ignited spot in IN instant.
These sheds shut in the view Of the great
Sie1ras, but without them winter travel
would be impossible. Sometimes five feet Of
snow fall upon them in a day, and often
thirty feet lie upon the ground at one time,
and in many cases NOV accumulates to the
depth of fifty feet above these great wooden
arches.

a Few Recipes.

KEROSENE FOR WARTs.-It is said that
common kerosene placed on warts will re-
move them in q couple Of weeks. It
should be applied twice a day, and if the
surface Of the Wart is hard and dry it should
be scr atched to promote the absorption of
the oil. No scar is left after the cure.
How TO MAKE MEAT TENDER.-Cut the
st eaks, the day before, into slices about two
inches thick; rub them over with q small
quantity of soda; wash off next morning;
cut into suitable thickness and cool as you
choose. The same process will answer for
fowls, legs Of mutton, &C. Try all who
love delicious, tender dishes of meat.
Observation-Disclosures is caused by an
inflammation of the skin, and is often very
difficult to cure. II the hair is kept short
and the scalp frequently washed with 9 90
luton Of bo1ax il warm water, the trouble
will be ameliorated, and in time cured
One ounce flour of sulphur to one quart of
water. Shake we'll st intervals, for a few
hours, and when well sottled saturate the
head with clear liquid every morning.
FoR POLL EvIL.-Apply turpentine and
ammonia in equal parts. Call to your aid
q skilIful person, and he will open it, and
put a seton through the bottom, and make
an opening you can put your two fingers in.
This will allow pus to run from the bottom
Of the wound, and you may hope for q
cure.
