'Last spring I suffered from la grippe

RUNNING A FURNACE.
Not Much of a Trick Provided One
Knows just How to Handle
Fire-BOx and Fuel.

The following directions addressed to
those who take care of their own hot
air furnaces are given at the end of an
article on the subject by T. n. Thomp-
son, in Science and Industry:
Keep the furnace clean outside and
inside. It is part of the house. Do not
let the ashes accumulate in the ash pit,
or the CRATES will soon burn out.
Fire lightly and often if you can, and
you will not use so much coal. If you
must fire thick, pile it up first on one
side, then on the other. This will give
you fire on top all the time; otherwise
the fire will be alternately dead and
alive on top and the heating results
will be intermittent.
Keep the fire door shut. If you want
to deaden the fire do so by closing the
bottom door only. If this will not shut
tight enough, you had better get the
furnaceman to make it fit close.
Never open the check draft at the
back OF the heater, otherwise this will
allow furnace gases to flow through the
joints of the furnace and poison the
1ASSh oAA edoo ScAdCS up Tic IcSlSlGTSs
rather open the bypass damper that
is fitted to all modern furnaces to pre-
vent ash dust from getting into the cell
lar when the CRATES are shaken. This
sheald check the draft.
Do not use damper in the cold air
box, but regulate your heat at the reg
listers. This is the best safeguard
against furnace gases getting into the
house.
Keep the water tank filed with wa
ter, to moisten the air, for in winter the
hot air is too dry.

MIRRORS IN THE HOME.
They Are Not Only Decorative, But
They Also Increase, Seemingly,
the Size of a Room.

The size of a room may seem to be
increased by means of mirrors used
judiciously. A dining-room of small
dimensions had a mirror so placed
that it reflected the one window in the
room. The view was charming, and
with the reflection of the mirror it
was doubled, seemingly, giving the
room two windows instead of one.
The beauty of this is that one does
not realize she is looking into mir
ror at first, but really believes the
view is from outside.
Many delightful optical illusions
may be had by means of the mirror;
stand of handsome plants, or even
a few nice ones, may seem to be
doubled, and the decorative effect is
wonderful
This is a scheme worth developing
in small rooms, and the home deco
rator will do well to study the effects
of mirrors used tastefully. How
many times we have all looked in a
mirror and thought we were APP
preaching some one, when it was
really only an Illusion.
The light (f artificiaD is doubled
by means of a mirror so placed as to
reflect it. A bit of landscape may
be thrown into some corner by means
of the same useful device. A mirror
may cost something to start with, but
it will double the furniture and give a
seeming spaciousness not to be Sc
cured otherwise.
Some of the elegant rooms at the
white house are almost lined with
mirrors. These not only decorate the
rooms, but the mirrors in all their
many surfaces reflect the beauty and
radiance of the scene within, whether
it be on fete day or otherwise
