To CLEAN A CHIMNEY.-A chimney
can be cleaned with ease in the follow
ing manner: A small bunch of evergreen
branches is tied into bundle and then
to the middle of a rope of the right
length. A person gets on the roof and
lets one END of the rope down; the CHM
ney is closed with sack or sheet to
keep the dust in. and a second person
below pulls the brush down; 1t Is then
pulled up again, and this is repeated
until the fiue is clean. As soon as the
dust is settled it is put into the sheet,
or bags, or pals and carried out.

The most healthful atmosphere in a
sitting room is obtained by having
blazing fire on the hearth and an open
door, and the same at night for cham
ber is far more healthful than to sleep
in a cold, closed room. A small, warm
room, with even q small air hole, is
more healthful than a very large, close,
cold room. Cold air is not necessarily
pure air, and no person can be well
long who is not in the open air, more or
less, every day.
CABBAGE SALAD.-Cut part of q solid
head of cabbage into thin shreds, and
throw lightly into a salad bowl or veg
etable dish. Cut few thin slices of
bacon into small dice, and fry until
they begin to brown; then pour Iu some
vinegar, the same quantity OF water,
add lump of butter, pepper and salt,
pour all warm over the cabbage. This
is very nice supper dish with warmed
up potatoes.
VEAL PIE.-An excellent dish for
plaln home dinner is made by stewing
some veal until it Is tender, thicken the
gravy with -four, and season with salt
and pepper, and put in enough butter
to flavor it; then make a nice crust like
biscuit dough; have it when baked an
inch and half thick. Put the veal and
gravy into an earthen pudding dish aud
cover with the crust. Bake and servo
hot.
CTTRoN PREsERvSs--Aftar peeling,
weigh, cut into pieces an inch iu
length. Boil In water to which you
have added little salt, until tender.
Allow not quite an equal weight of su-
gar with the fruit. Make syrup cf the
sugar and some of the water in which
the citron was boiled, add the drained
pieces and few slices of lemon, free
from seeds. Cook slowly half an hour.
Mr.. CHARLES DelmOnico claimed to
be the first To recommend the "hCt wa
ter cure" to guests who complained of
having no appetite. 'Take a cup of
hot wafer and lemon, and you will feel
better" was the formula adopted, and
the cup of hot water and lemon was
simply little water with a drop of
lemon Juice IN it to take away the insip-
idity.
So quickly sometimes has the wheeT
turned round, that many a man has
lived TO enjoy the benefit of that charity
which his own piety projected.
There are thousands of people in
moderate circumstances, says the Boston
Journal Of Chemistry, who have ordered
the telephone wires brought to their
dwt llings, not that they are needed, but
because the telephone Is just now fash
ionable; it is the style for fashionable
women 10 talk with butchers, grocers
and bakers ''over the wires.' 1t would
be much better for housekeepers to Sc
cure healthful exercise by walking to
the market than to speak lsnguidly
through hole IN box at home when
pound of beeisteak is wanted. The
telephone will hold Its place for while
longer in dwellings,, but patrons will
soon become tired of the incessant bell
