The witch Hazels.

The genus hamarnelis or witch hazel is
but small one, by far the oldest member
OF it being the North American witch
hazel Oh. virginica), which is both interest
ing and curious, while its japanese rela-
tive, H. arborea, is one Of the most beauti-
full of hardy towering shrubs or small
trees during the early part of the year,
when the still leafess branches are clothed
with the peculiarly shaped blossoms. The
usual habit of the Japanese variety Is to
form much branched head, which, view
ed during the sunshine of a bright winters
day, when every twig is studded with Its
peculiarly shaped blooms, glows like a
golden cloud. The leaves, as implied by
the popular name, are very much like
those of the hazel, though there is really
no affinity between the two. The fact that
these witch hazels are by no means gener-
ally found In gardens is to be accounted
for by the fact that their rate Of progress,
especially when young. is far from rapid.

Practical Rules for Escaping Chills or
other Injurious Effects.
The following Instructions, accredited 20
the Royal Humane society, OF England, are
of especial interest at this season, when sea
and river bathing are indulged in by such
great numbers Of people:
Avoid bathing within two hours otter g
meal.
Avoid bathing when exhausted by fatigue
or from any other cause.
Avoid bathing when the body is cooling
after perspiration.
Avoid bathing altogether in the open cir
II, after having been short time In the
water, there is sense Of chillipess, with
numbuess of the hands and feet, but battle
when the body Is warm, providing no time
is lost in getting into the water.
Avoid chilling the body by sitting or
standing undressed on the banks in boats
after having been in the water.
Avoid remaining too long In the water,
but leave the water Immediately there Is
the slightest feeling of chilliness. The
vigorous and strong may bathe early In
the morning on an empty stomach. The
young and those who are weak had better
bathe in two or three hours after meal,
the best time for such from two to three
hours after breakfast. Those who are sub
ject to attacks of giddiness or fatntness, and
those who suffer from palpitation or other
sense of discomfort at the heart, should not
bathe without consulting their medical ad'
wiser.

Winter FueI,

A provident farmer writes: THE win
ter fuel should always be stored un-
der shed of some kind before it is
wanted. BY timely attention before reg
ular bad weather sets in, a great deal Of
what would otherwise rot and become
rubbish if left out exposed 10 rain and
snow can be gathered up and cut into
right length for stove wood. This may
include old fence rails that are no longer
useful for that purpose, old boxes and
barrel slaves and the branches Of trees
that have been blown OF in the woods or
that have been pruned off in the orchards,
A great many farmers who pile up their
limbs and brush and burn them in that
way have good deal to learn about the
value of apple tree wood as fuel When
seasoned, l consider it much better than
the average wood we get ont Of the
forest, and for making not fire would
place it almost next 10 hickory. The
trunks Of old apple trees are well worth
cutting up for this purpose, and the
branches that are pruned off from the
standing trees in the orchard will MAKE
good stove wool or kindling wood for
coal fires. ~

THE GUEST ROOM.
How TO Make 1t q Chamber Of Psacer
to the Occasional Visitor.

How to Make 1t q Chamber of Peacer
to the Occasional Visitor.
Within few years much Of the ancient
formAlity of going a-visiting has vanished.
OF old the best room in the house vas
adorned with the choicest furniture and
furnished with the rarest trinkets and
then shut up In gorgeous and solemn state,
to be opened but half dozen times a year.
when some unfortunate guest was plunged
into its funereal pomp TO absorb the damp
ness of its unsunned splendor. Now the
occasional visitor Is given more natural
position In the domestic arrangements. OF
old he was q sacred parsonage before whom
the host did homage; now he Is placed on
the same plane as the rest Of the house
hold, and existence Is thereby simplified
for all. From a writer In Good House
keeping. who defines in the foregoing the
position Of the guest Of today, are CLEANED
also the following suggestions for making
the guest room "a chamber OF peace:"
The uses to which your guest chamber Ia
to be put are obviously three; in 1t your
guest is to sleep, To dress, and TO spend q
varying quantity of his waking and leisure
time. For these three uses you have TO
provide First, then, for the sleeping. A
thoroughly aired spare bed" Is a rarity;
yet 1t Is not 30 expensive as to be beyond
the reach Of most housewives. Air and
sunshine are generally available, but the
woman who knows how TO apply these
commodities TO her guest chamber is hard
to find. Let the bedding and covers be
fresh, dry and clean; spread a sufficient
number of blankets and provide an extra
cover for abnormally cold blooded people
II you do not know your guests prefer
ence 1t Is we'll TO provide two sets OF pill
lows, one large and one small And II you
are one of that class of deluded women who
turn their beds into show cases for frills
and furbelows, at least be implored TO re.
move these excrescences before your guest
retires for the night.
In these days ot numerous inventions it
Is impossible to know all the improvements
in household arrangements, so II there be
anything peculiar in the methods Of heat
ing, lighting or yentilating your rooms, be
sure to explain them. One thing more, you
must tell the stranger within your gates,
before he retires. the hour for breakfast,
and II there is to be no rising bell 1t Is well
to ask II he desires TO be called in the morn
ing. A timepiece of some kind should al
ways be In the room.
As rule, the leisure time that guest
spends In his room is brief; yet there are
nights when sleep eludes the tired brain,
mornings when the hostess is busy and
afternoons when wearipess makes solitude
desirable, For sych times provide 2 few
books and magazines, not heavy and OBJ
truse works, but those that please and
amuse an indolent mind. Ifpossible, have
desk In the room. and stock II with pens
pencils, ink, wax, stamps, postal cards
paper and envelopes TO match, and thS
other essentials that make letter writing {
pleasure

Facts About Inks.

Nearly all the inks in common use con.
tain organic matter as part of the color
ing matter. The great majority Of them
are principally combination of iron with
gallic and tannio acids, both Of which are
organic acids and quite readily decompos-
ed. The action Of moisture, light and
other agents will, after a while, decompose
these salts of iron, leaving only the almost
invisible oxide Of iron to show where the
writing has been. The only really perrnan.
ent ink is that prepared from some form OF
carbon, such rs lampblack, Of which the
Chinese or India ink is composed. Carbon
resists destructive influences to remark
able degree, and writings made with such
Ink will last as long as the paper on which
they are written, according to Popular
Science News.
