SUBSTITUTES FOR CLOSETS.

A thrifty housekeeper, whose house
boasts of but few closets, has surmounted
the difficulty by having several boxes
made to slip under the beds. These are
made of the same size as the bed itself,
and are mounted on small wheels sunk
into the wood so that they may run easily
in aud out. Although necessarily shallow
they hold great deal, aud their great
advantage is that garments may be laid
In them at full length. One of these
boxes she has lined with camphor wood,
so that tho winter furs are simply laid in
it an locked up. These boxes should be
carefully painted. Unpaiuted or unvar-
nished wood should never be left in
bedroom, as the natural wood harbors
insects. White paint looks the best, aud
the box should have fresh coat once in
while. There should be some arrange
ment on both sides of the box to pull it
in either direction. A tin-lined box is
also capital arrangement for the sea-
shore. In this may be stored away many
delicate garments; for this purpose there
is nothing nicer than box sofa, arranged
as window seat. Prettily upholstered
and with big cushions they are very orna-
mental aud most useful. st Louis Re-

The Biggest. Of Balloons.

James Glaisher states that the balloon
constructed in 1864 by Eugene GODDARD
was the largest ever made. Its capacity
was nearly half million cubic feet.
The air in this fire balloon was heated by
an eighteen foot stove, weighing with
the chimney, $50 pounds. This furnace
was fed with straw, and the scar" con-
sisted of gallery surrounding it. Two
ascents of this balloon were made from
Cremorne Gardens, London, on July
Goth and July 2Sth, 1864. The "Geant, :"
Madras colossal balloon. contained 215,-
363 cubic feet of gas, and raised thirty
five persons at one time, This balloon
was also remarkable as having attached
Ito it regular two story house for car.
Its ascent on Sunday, the 18th of Octo-
tober, 1863, was witnessed by nearly
half million of persons. After pass
ing over the eastern part of France,
Belgium and Holland, the "Geant" suf-
fered disastrous descent in Hanover
,on the day after 1t started on its peril
Gus journey. In 1873, balloon of
400, 900 feet of cubic capacity was made
to enable Mr.. Wise to cross the Atlantic,
but it unfortunately burst. The longest
distance travelled in balloon in the
shortest time was 1850 in twenty hours,
by Messrs. Wise and LaMountain, the
route taken being from st. Louis in the
direction of New York. Yankee Blade.

CONSTRUCTION OF AN IcEHoUsE.

The way to make an icehouse is to
think about it in the summer and have
the preparations made before the winter.
The requisites are dry foundation
double walls filled in between with dry
sawdust, or other loose stuff that will
make good non conductor of the heat
and thus retain the cold; tight and
well-ventilated roof over it, and the ex.
clusion of water or air from every part
of it. Good ventilation over the top
covering, however, is Indispensable, as
this keeps the covering dry, and dryness
is an absolute necessity. A refrigerator
is made in this way and on the same
principles. A box of any suitable shape
is made with double sides and bottom
and cover. The space is filled with
powdered charcoal, and the inside is
well painted or lined with sheet zinc or
tin. The box should stand twice as
high as it is wide each way, and is di-
vided into two parts by a metallic divis-
ion. The ice rests on this, and this
part should have pipe to carry off the
water as the ice melts. The lower
chamber is provided with shelves on
which the articles to be kept cool are
placed, and door for access is fitted to
the front. The icebox on top is covered
by lid or falling door. New York

RoBBINa THE HoNEY-coMB.

To get honey out of the honey-comb,
set the pieces of comb on sticks across
opening of an earthen pan and leave them
to drain, fitting them to a different angle
daily. The honey that runs out in this
way is perfectly clear and is always sold
at the highest price. When no more
drops from the comb, this is broken up,
laid on piece or clean, coarse linen, and
twisted in an opposite direction by two
people. The running of honey is slow
process and cannot be fastened, and 10
the meanwhile the syrup must be
thoroughly protected from dust aud in
sect. This can be done by fixing muslin,
tent-fashion, over the pan, its transpar.
ency allowing the process to be watched
meanwhile. OF course these directions
are only for those who raise honey in
small quantities; as for those who culti-
vate it for the market there are regular
appliances for such work, but there is no
honey surprising this in flavor and clear
ness, the farmers wife tells us, who has
given her family the best of honey from
her own hives Tor years-New York

A Title for the President.

The question, "What shall be the title
of the President of the United States q"
according to the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, was one which elected no little
discussion among the members Of the
first Congress, and it is said that the in
auguration of Washington was delayed
several days by consideration and debate
as to what should be his title. "His
Highness, the President of the United
States of America and Protector of Their
Liberties, was discussed and rejected.
"His ExcelIency" was also proposed and
also rejected. After numerous sugges-
tions, it was finally decided that the
Chief Executive Officer should be Of
ficially known as the president of the
United States"
The title Excellency, as applied to the
President, was of later growth than the
time of Washington, who was greatly
relieved when Congress decided the ques-
ton by giving him no title, as he was
much in dread lest lofty title should
provoke envy and antagoniSm.

Folks Who Live Long.

"What occupation tends most to pro-
long life7" asked a Star reporter of the
chief mathematician for one of the great
life insurance companies.
"That is a difficult question, he re-
piled. al can only answer it by refer
ring to the occupations of persons whose
lives are and have been insured by us. In
asmuch as they number several hundreds
of thousands they will afford good
basis from which to draw conclusions on
the subject. According to this evidence
it appears that commercial travellers and
agents live longer than men in any other
kind of business, notwithstanding the
hazards which attend transportation by
rail and water. Next to them come
dentists, teachers and professors, includ-
ing music teachers"
"And who after them2"
''Next to them in point of longevity
are hatters, clergymen and missionaries.
The last may occasionally furnish food
for the larder of untutored, but they are
a first rate risk nevertheless. Next come
bankers and capitalists, who seem to live
just a trihe longer than butchers and
ihOthCH. anu JCWOiCio ioi-
low, and they are succeeded on the list
by merchants, peddlers, milkmen and
pawn brokers. Then come gardeners,
laborers, civil engineers and canvassers.
Perhaps the treatment which canvassers
are apt to receive in the ordinary course
OF their business shortens their lives"
"Where do newspaper men come inY'
"Oh, they don't live as long as any OF
the people have mentioned. Even book
keepers and bank cashiers, as we'll as
artists and architects are ahead of them.
They come IN next, with the printers,
physicians and gentlemen who are not
engaged in any active employment. Then
follow the apothecares and photogra-
pliers, and after them in order bakers,
cigar makers, real estate agents, army
officers and soldiers, liquor dealers, mar
incrs and naval officers Shortest lived
of all seem to be the auctionecrs, board
ing house keepers, BARRIERS and drivers"
"Do you take into consideration the
question of customers occupation in
granting a policy2"
"Not unless it is more hazardous than
any of those have mentioned, though,
if we.were in doubt about accepting the
man as a risk for other reasons, such

PERCHEs

Many people make a great mistake
when building houses, by placing tn,
perches in all conceivable directions
The placing of the perches in all direc
tions, however, is not the mistake. When
the roosts are placed thus, the object gen.
orally is to utilize space, and in fol
lowing up this object some perches are
placed near the floor, while others may
just barely afford the fowls space enough
to roost between the perch and the roof
of the house. This is where the mis-.
take comes in.
Have you ever watched your fowls
while Trey are preparing to roost2 II
you have, you could not fail to see that
all of them were anxious to get on the
top perch. After the fowls have selected
the place upon which they would settle
for the night, the observing poultry
raiser could not but notice how they are
packed on the highest perch, while the
lowest perch does not have a single one
on it. The intermediate. that Is, those
between the highest and lowest perches,
would have fowls on them which could
not possibly secure room on the upper
most one.
This is fault which should be rene.
died. The number of birds to a house
Is limited, to prevent overcrowding; yet
1t is overcrowding In its worst form to
have roost packed with fowls. We all
know the evil effects of overcrowding,
and the clearer we steer from it the bet
ter. The only way of preventing this
erowding on the perches is to have the
perches all on the same level. The
fowls will then have no choice, and will
accept the change. Even though the
perches do take up more room than when
arranged in haphazard way, it should
not bother the owner of the fowls. -

Eastwood BLOSSOMS FOR HONEY.

The linden, or common Eastwood, is
not only a handsome tree, but its blos-
SONS make excellent bee pasturage. 1t
is splanted In some parts of Europe for
this purpose chiefly, though the wood is
also valuable for some purposes. Honey
from Eastwood blossoms is to many tastes
better than that from white clover, and
If more of it were marketed there would
soon be great demand for it. Some
times buyer secures box of honey of
extra good flavor, but he does not know
how to duplicate it. Nine times out of
ten this extra good honey is from bass
wood blossoms, which are now in their
fullest bloom. Cultivator.
