HOUSEHOLD.

TRIANGULAR PARLoR CHAM
A pretty an novel arrangement for a
parlor is to get a carpenter to make a
triangular seat, the height Of any or.
binary chair or ottoman. 1t can be
mad with a lid to open, to put work
on newspapers into. Stuff the top with
EXCELSIOR covered with a thick layer
er of wool; ove that place the final
covering Of plush, which can be tufted
OF left smooth, as fancy dictates. Have
the carpenter fasten the seat in the
seat In the corner, having tne lid open
towards the front, the triangle fitting
close against the wall. Put two or
three handsome cushions against the
wall. Fit a piece of gilt molding or
cornice to the ceiling across the corn
er to match the shape of the seat be-
.ow, and hang a pair Of madras, or
transparent or Powered silk curtains
from the cornice and loop them back
with chains or wide satin ribbons the
color OF the plush seat. When nicely
dtted up this little corner seat makes a
ntss luxuIiant resting place, besides
oeing exceedingly ornamental.

The process OF manufacturing nit
rous oxide gas has been greatly slmpli-
fled, and the product thus derived is
probably az perfect as can now be
realized by chemical skill. Salts of
ammonia are dissolved in nitric acid,
and this, on being dried off in a sand
bath until it becomes like sugar, is
called ammonium. A quantity of the
latter is put into a retort and subjected
to 240o of heat until 1T throws off gas,
which passes first through a jar of
water, then successfully through one of
sulphate of iron and n of eaustie pot
ash, from which it comes forth as
nitrous oxide. One and a half pounds
Of ammonium will make 100 gallons of
gas. For the purpose of transportation
this quantity of gas can be condensed
until it becomes a liquid capable of be-
Ing contained IN an iron cylindrical jar
six inches in diameter and n and a
half feet high-becoming gas again
when allowed to escape.

Various devices have been employed
for purifying the air from dust, germs
and other impurities. Windhausen, a
Frenchman, has recently designed an
apparatus for this purpose which is well
spoken of by technical writers. 1t con-
sists of a double cylinder, the inner n
being perforated to allow water to be
thrown through it in a fine spray
against the inside Of the outer cylinder
by rotary motion. Air is forced by
means of a fan into the space between
the two cylinders, the motion of the
air and of the water-spray beng in
opposite directions. 1t is impossible for
any air to pass through the apparatus
without being washed and its impuri-
ties removed by centrifugal action.
The proportion of water used may be
varied as found necessary with refer
ence to the condition of the air. The
apparatus may be combined with any
device for warming or cooling the air,
or 1t may be modified for treating
smoke OIL gases.

The Shopliher's Nun.

The French muff is the latest device
of the female shOplifter, and, by those
familiar with its construction and per
feet adaptability to its business, 1t IS
conceded to be the neatest thing known.
The holiday period is the choicest
season of the year for the shoplifteT,
but it has been shorn of a large share
of It's profits by alert floor walkers, who
have become perfectly familiar with the
warehouse" dresses and cloaks of the
professionals. Until the advent of the
French muff the ladies who lived by
picking up valuable laces, silks and
fancy articles in the largest stores had
no particular comfort in their calling,
but with the new device they have been
able to reap a harvest despite the lynx
eyed professional counter watchers.
Tie shoplifter's muf is, outwardly,
above suspicion, there being nOthine
about it to betray its capacity for con-
cealing plumber. Its is covered with
any kind of fur, just as honest NUTS
are, with the significant exception that
instead of being padded with cotton the
fur rests upon a framework Of wire.
Between the fur covering and the wire
supporting lldllc tue oHdSC Houdilg hlleN
with cotton is left vacant, thus prOvi,
ding accommodation for quite a stock
of valuable lace, articles of jewelry,
gloves, or anything else small and val
liable.
In the bottom of the muff there is a
small slide on the inside worked by the
hand of the wearer, who, after introdu-
cling the article stolen in the muff,
presses back this slide ard drops the
plumber into the cavity between the
frame and the fur. With one of these
muffs shopliftIng is so easy as to be sue
cessfully praetised by novices, as not
one store walker in a thousand would
suspect that his counters could be work
ed through a muff worn as these are
when in action. The operator rests
her hand with the muff on it on the
goods which she proposes to sample,
and a moment of diverted attention on
the part of the salesman or saleswoman
is ample for her to transfer to her inge-
NOUS warehouse such samples as she
can conveniently and quickly pick up
with one hand. The movement of con.
cealing the stolen articles is %instantane-
ously executed, and however well the
muff may be stuffed, it cannot be bull
ged out to attract attention, like a cloak
or a dress.

for rheumatism and for the so-called
