The Pullman sleeping car "Bangor, which
has been thoroughly rehabilitated in the
Maine Central shops in this city. under di-
rection of Mr.. Charles Kenison, has been
sent to Boston to be upholstered, and in
short time will be running on the night train
from Boston to Bangor. 1t is now one of
the most beautiful cars in the country. Last
January z. o. Sprague, foreman of the wood
shop, began extensive improvements on
the Bangor" and after he had virtually
made new car of it, turned it over
to f. Hartshorn to be painted and orna-
mented under his supervision. When it left
his brush it fairly glittered in its shiny coat
of varnish and gold leaf The car is painted
a rich olive, with carmine, gilt and black
trimmings; the lettering is in gold, shaded
in drab. The whole effect is very rich.
When the interior is respondent with its
new furniture, the car will be q moving pal
ace, and will for years be an advertisement
for the cunning workmen of the Augusta
shops.

How to LIGHT q Iamp-

There is such vast difference in both the
quantity quality of light produced by coal oil
or kerosene lamp when properly trimmed and
that produced by the same lamp when improp-
erly trimmed, that il is surprising how any one
of ordinary intelligence and observation can be
satisfied to use, even for single hour, an imper
fectly trimmed lamp. Yet, strange TO say, a
large proportion of the millions of kerosene lamps
that are in nightly use are not trimmed as they
should be. Careless housekeepers and stupid
servants think sit will do just well" in trim
ming lamp to break the eharred wick with
the fingers, TO saw it with n rough edged knife,
or to haggle it with pair of dull shears, rs it
will to clip it smoothly and evenly with sharp
trimmer. But people who are fastidious enough
to care for a light they can read, write, sew or
do any kind of work by with satisfaction and
comfort, know that such is not the fact.
Since kerosene came into use a light pro-
ducing agent, various implements for trimming
lamps have been patented, but, after thorough
examination of the most of them, incline TO
the belief that nothing has yet been invented
for the purpose quite SO convenient, cheap and
effective as pair of ordinary, medium sized scis-
sors. To do the work properly, however, the
scissors must be sharp, for it is impossible to
trim lamp perfectly without sharp trimmer.
The belief is quite general that to prevent
lampwick from fiarng at the corners and break
ing the chimney, it must be cut rounding, to
correspond with the cap or cover of the burner.
My experience, coupled with close and careful
observation, leads me to the conclusion that the
way to trim lamp so as to secure the very best
results-to get the most and pleasantest light
with the least lreakage of ehimneys-is to cut
the wick parallel with the top of the burner.
When ready to trim the lamp remove the
chimney. Raise the cap of the burner. Turn up
the wick, aud, with pair of sharp scissors, clip
it even with the top of the tube. Be careful not
to cut squeeze the Tube with the scissors. See
that no lint or thread remains on the wick, and
that it has not been pushed ont of its perpendic-
ular position and cut dagonally. Close the cap
over the tube, put the chimney in place, and the
lamp is ready for Use. If these directions
strictly followed it will, when lighted, yield a
broad, straight edged flame, without notch or
indentation in it, and furnish a clear, pleasant,
steady light. Try il and see.-ChcagO Tribune

Mseful aud Curious.
Look to Your Cellars.

II is unquesfiouable, whatever may be the
csnsc, that there has been great increase of
malarial diseases, both in city and IN country,
within the last twenty-five years We are not
about to add another dissertation to the many
that have been written malaria-what it is;
what is its origin; what is the best remedy for
the diseases that pass undrr its name. There
are some things that were settled long before
scientific men gave this matter - mnch atten-
tion, and some things that are Taught Just as
clearly by common sense as by what is called
advanced science. One of these is, that to pre-
serve health it is necessary TO prevent or remove
all nuisances, especially when they are confined
within limited space.
One of the most fruitful sources Of disease in
the household is dirty cellar. We have had
occasion, within the last few years, to record
many instances in which desolating sickness has
entered families through this eause, carrying off
one after another, by diphtheria some other
deadly disease. The eanse was not suspected
until 1t was too late to avoid the consequences.
An apparently slight exhalation from standing
water or from damp cellar, where water can
not be found, especially if there should happen
to be any deeaying vegetable matter in it. may
affect whole family. There have-been blocks
of splendid new brown-stone houses in this city
that have become uninhabitable, owing to the
closing of the general sewer, perhaps AZ the end
of the block, thus preventing the free passing
away of the natural dampness of the soil, or the
accumulation of water, and compelling it, by
law of nature, to pass upward through the house.
The presence of this malarial atmosphere in the
house is not detected until fever or some other
disease breaks out. Even those who are aware
of the existence Of dampness and'of their expo
sure to malarial influences, do not always take
Immediate measures to correct the evil, but live
on in security or in hope, until sickness awakens
them to their danger.
In the country there is often as great, il not
greater, indifference to the prolific causes Of
Diseases Many q farmer occupied with spring
work. leaves his cellars to take care ofthemselyes
when the remnants of the vegetables that were
stored up in the fall begin to decay and breed a
pestilence in the house.
One ofthe first duties Of the farmer in the spring
is to make a thorough overhauling and cleaning
of his cellar, removing everything that has a
tendency to decay, and using disinfectants where
there is the least danger from decaying matter.
A single leaf of cabbage left until the spring may
infect cellar. A few roots that have been put
away during the winter may produce an Often
siye odor, or a still more dangerous, because IN
suspected, bane TO health. Now is the time for
this work to he done, and it ought to be thor
oughly done.

CARE OF CANARY BIRDs.-Place the cage so
that no draught of air can strike the bird. Give
nothing to healthy birds but rape and canary
seed, water, cuttle-fish bone, and gravelpaper,
or sand on the floor of the cage. No hemp seed.
A bath three times a week. The room should
not be overheated-never above seventy degrees.
When moulting Shedding feathers) keep warm,
avoid all draughts of air. Give plenty of Ger
man rape seed; little hard-boiled egg, mixed
with crackers grated fine, is excellent. Feed at
n certain hour in the morning. By observing
these simple rules, birds may be kept in fine con-
diticn for years. For birds that are sick or have
lost their song, procure bird tonic at q bird
store. Very many keep birds who mean to give
their pets all things to make them bright and
happy, and at the same time are guilty of great
cruelty in regard to perches. The perches in a
cage should be each one of a different size, and
the smallest rs large as a pipe stem. II perches
are of the right SORT trouble is ever had about
the birds toe-nails growing too long; and of all
things keep the perches clean.

Hidden Dangers in Cough Nostrums.

In the case of the child of Mrs. Lowering, Of
2207 Callowhill street, the Coroners jury, yes
ter,lay, returned a verdict that death resulted
from heart eliot, caused by an overdose of patent
cough syrup. The danger of administering GER
tain patent medicines to children, and their evil
effects upon adults as well, have long been
themes of constant warning by reputable ply
sicians DIR. W. X. ID. Blackwood, of DAG North
Twentieth street, said yesterday, that he had
frequently been called upon to counteract the
effects of those compounds, and the danger at
tending their use was much greater than the
people can be made to believe. The most inju-
rions ingredient used in the kind of cough drops
now best known and most extensively adyertis-
ed. and which is the kind that was given to,Mrs
Coverings child, is a deodorized tincture of
opium. The drug is deprived of its Dauseating
effects and the stupor which it induces in chill
dren is mistaken by mothers for comfort and re-
pose.-Philadelphid Times.
