HoUsEHoLD THRIFT.

A true notion of household thrift involves
more than hard work and careful econo-
mics. It's indeed hard work that is often
most thriftily to be avoided. 1.-THE mis-
tress's eye does more work than both her
hands, y says the old Welsh proverb, and
the French have a similar one. "The
masters eye fatteps the steed." It is the
liousekeeper's best art to make careful
supervision save both time and strength.
There is nothing ~praiseworthy in that
ambition which impels a woman to do
more work than her neighbors; there is
no economy in doing ones self what can
be as we'll done by a person Of inferior
capacity. True thrift demands that the
higher faculties be devoted to the higher
work, and to teach a servant or a child to
do a duty thoroughly well, and to see to
it that the duty is done, is a much truer
economy than to do it all ones self. If
the honse-mother's plan of life is narrow,
her purposes falsely conferred, then her
life runs to waste, however saving of odd
moments. of odd pence, or Of clothes, she
may be. The purpose Of a woman's life
must reach beyond to-day, this week, the
present season, and embrace the whole
future Of husband and children, the whole
sphere in which she moves. Viewed in
this light, sc many things seem trivial
which loom up large to-day, so many
things grow grand which in the present
seem Insignificant. Every reaction, every
effort at self-improvement, every hour of
social intercourse, every time of anxious
care, all work together to perfect the
whole, and make the home life something
great and strong and beautiful. For the
element of beauty must never be wanting
nor sacrificed TO that of utility.
Beauty makes life by SO much the richer,
and true household thrift will seek for
beauty everywhere Homan's Work.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

For some little time past a discovery
made by Edward E. Fales, of Philadel-
phia, has interested many scientific minds,
which is destined To work wonders in the
saving of fuel and the production of heat.
Mr.. Fales demonstrates the ability of his
invention in an ordinary looking stove,
which, however, is net lined with fire.
brick or similar material. The rnechani-
cal device consists Of a combined crate
and fire pot of peculiar construction. In
kindiing the fire, the coal is placed at the
bottom and the wood at the top. When
this is lighted, a suction blast OF air is
started, ieniting the coal and CONSUMING
element. rrhe coal then burns from
the top downwaIds, although there is
but a straight-up draught, the wonder
ful forces Of nature acting upon the sim
pie mechanical device, without fan or
artificial dFaught, forming a vacuum in
the centre OF the combustion chamber,
which causes tile suction blast from the
draught door to rush up and fill it.
Considerable noise is made and the vihra-
ton accustomed is very powerful Mr..
Fales proposes to utilize this vibration for
the cure of fever. &c. The heat produced
from a very small quantity Of coal is in
tense enough to melt the hardest substance
in less thai five minutes, as was aeHionstra-
ted in the presence of a nu raber OF people.
Several of oar residents have become deep
liz interested in this invention.

Ei:ASsPEANEING EVERGREEN
sssFsUBS.

Many failures occur from lack Of proper
treatment at TRANSFORMING. There IS no
more beautiful shrub than our native
Laurel Improperly so called, as it is not
a Laurcl), Kalmai latifolia, also called
s'Cafico Bush It is very rarely seen in
cultivation, and there Is a general belief
that it cannot be trausplanted from the
woods, but that If we would have 1T in onr
grounds we must get nursery-grown trees.
We know Of a great admirer Of this shrub,
who imported it from an English nursery,
while it grew by thousands within a few
miles of his place. Yet this shrub can be
transplanted as readily as a willow. if one
will, at transplsntiug it. cat it back to re-
move every leaf. This appears ike severe
treatment, bat unless one viii cut the
beautiful shrub pack 10 a naked stem, he
had better lea ve it where it grew, for it
will surely fail. Treated thus, success is
as certain as with any other shrub. In
due time the naked stem viii ''break, .
producing an abundance of new shoots,
and by autumn will be supplied with album
dant foliage. Having done this, and seen
it done by others, it may De tried with full
confidence of success. We have no doubt
that other shrubs of this class, if on their
removal from the nursery they were treated
in the same manner, would succeed more
frequently than they do now. Yet few
have the courage, when they pay a dollar,
more or less, for q shrub, to mutiiatc it in
this manner, Still, it is worth trying

sIErrssc-neons q CHILDREN

Possibly the attention Of very few moth
the position of their children's beds. With
certain orderly, careful mothers a small al
cove adjoining their sleeping-room is
generally considered suitable; leaving the
main room SO much freer for other uses.
But to what fate are we consigning our
child when we exile him to the alcove?
Here turks ali the stale, yitiated, or, as we
might say, dead air, undisturbed by the
freer currents Of the main room. The
child, breathing this air, night after night,
experiences a loss Of vitality, a tendency to
colds, and a languid, depressed oonditionin
the morning, quite different from the re-
freshed awakening in pure air. 1t has been
demonstrated thatthe beds nearestthe walls
in hospitals have the highest rate of NOR
tality, they being subject to influences of
polluted air similar to the alcoye Of the
bedroom. The existence Of bad y~entila-
ton arou nd the corners and sides of rooms
has been SO well demonstrated that it has
already given rise to the building Of rotunda
hospitals, where the current of air along
the floors rises as it reaches the wall,
effectually ventilating the whole. The
first suggestion of this idea came from the
dropping of a small piece Of paper near the
center Of a rotunda, where it skinned
along the floor and rose as 1T reached the
wall. In an ordinary room a similar exper-
iment with a piece of thistle down will in
dictate the usual direction ofthe air currents.

Higgins is an interesting talker. AS the

who is an elderly gentleman. Senator
Higgins joined Mr.. McComas and they
