Recollect that such things suffer more from covering tdo soon and heat ing, than they do from freezing. Do not put •n the final covering until winter has fairly set in. , Cellars where roots are stored should, for the same reason, be kept open as long as can safely be done without freezing the contents. Cold Frames in which cabbages, cauli flowers and lettuae are wintered, should be daily aired whenever the thermometer is above freezing. The great point is, to keep the plants hardy, and this is done by preserving a low and nniform temperature. Cauliflowers are more tender than the others, and in very severe weather, the glass should be covered with mats or bhut terß. Poison or trap every mouse. Hot beds will be wanted in February and March. Have the sashes and frames in readiness now that there is leisure. Paint, reglaze, and have all in working order. Accumulate a supply of Manure for hot-beds; the best is that from horse stables, long and short together. Manure for plowing and spadiDg in should be looked out for, and all available materi als, whether from the house, privies, stables, piggeries, or hen-houses, should be saved. Loak round in the neighborhood for any mineral, animal, or vegetable material going to waste, that may be profitably se cured as a fertilizer. Seeds should be overhauled, and those of doubtful vitality rejected. If uncertain as to the value of a lot, plant a few in a saucer or other dish of earth} keep moist in a warm place. Order seeds early. Tools should be looked over and repaired as needed. Paint all parts that need it, and supply deficiencies by purchase. Scions may be cut whenever the wood is not frozen. Sawdust, or damp moss are better packing than sand, for the reason that they come out free from grit. The object should be to preserve the natural moisture, and not keep them any damper or dryer than they would be if left upon the tree.— Amer. Agricult. EXPLODING KEROSENE LAMPS. The frequently occurring accidents from the explosion of kerosene lamps have awak ened an interest and anxiety in the public mind whioh seeks for the oausf and cure of the evil. It is elaimed that the oil more recently furnished the trade is “ wickedly impure/’ and that this imparity generates gas in the bowl of the lamp, which explodes when the flame is, by any means, communicated to it, It is not the oil that explodes, but the gas whioh sets fire to the oil and to all other : combustible substances with whioh it comes in oontact. Now, it is evidently the duty of all to pro cure as pflre an article as possible, and then to use all possible precaution to avoid acci dents. Ist. Under ho circumstances Should a lamp be filled in the evening when a light is burning in the room. Serious accidents have resulted from this habit which might have been avoided. 2. The wick should completely fit and fill the tube in the lamp, because if there is an aperture through which the gas gene rated in the bowl of the lamp can escape, it may communicate at once with the flame and cause an explosion. 3. The lamp should never be burned more than one evening before it is refilled. The more space in the lamp not filled with ail, the more gas accumulates, and, of course, the greater the danger of explosion. 4. I will raise the question, how shall the light be extinguished to ensure safety ? Two answers are- given to this enquiry. Some say the wick should be “ turned dawn others say that the light should be “ blown out." lam inclined to adopt the views expressed by a writer in the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, in referring to a fatal acci dent which recently oocurred there. I make the following extract:— “ The idea that blowing a kerosene lamp out is dangerous, is an error; also the idea that taming the wick down ensures safety, is also an error. In turning the wick down, unless it is precisely a fit for the tube, the gas escapes by the wick to the flame and explosion occurs. In blowing out a kerosene lamp there is no apertnre through whioh the flame can pass into .the bowl of the lamp, consequently more safety." In speaking of Mrs. Berry, who was burned to death as intimated above, he says:—. “Mrs. B. was an extremely careful woman, but she had neglected to fill her lamp on that day. Of course, the lamp was less than half full of oil, consequently the more gas in the lamp and more liability to explosion.” I have said above that it is not the oil but the gas generated by the burning lamp that eiplodes. Hence, those merohants who claim to have the pure ail which does not explode when they set fire to it, deceive their customers. They may do it honestly, not knowing the faeti but the oil that will burn harmlessly on the counter, may gene rate gas and explode in the lamp. H. CREAM 1M COLD WEATHER. For some reason not yet known, cream skimmed from milk in cold wither does not come to butter, when churned, so quickly" as that from the same eow in warm weather. Perhaps the pellicles, which ferm the little gaoks of butter in the cream, are thicker and tougher. There are two methods of obviating this trouble in a great degree. One is to set the pan tof milk on the stove, or in some warm place, as soon as strained, and let it remain until quite warm—some say until a bubble or two rises, or until a Bkim of cream begins to form on the surface Another nj'ode is to add a teaspoosful of salt to a quari of cream when it is skimmed. Cream thus prepared will generally oome to butter in a few minutes when ohurnod. It is thought the salt acts npou the coating of th» butter - globules, and makes them tender, bo that they break'rapidly when beaten by churn ing.—New York Times. JUJUBE PASTE. “What is it? Where does it come from ? What is it made of V’ In reply to the question, What is jujube past made of ? I have to reply, that three fifths of all we buy and use as pure jujube is a compound of poor gum arabic, damaged flour and cheap sugar, tinted with some villainous ohemical liquid: The little pure jujube paste we get is made from the fruit of the 4 jujube tree ( Rhamnus Zizyphusj, a common East Indian tree, or more generally a large shrub, grow ing also in the majority of the islands of Japan, and on the continent, j; hardy and abundantly fruitful in all the northern mountains of China, and north into Tartary, where the winter oold is so intense that no other fruit tree exists. The tree resembles most, in appearance and growth} the honey locusts of the Umted States, while the fruit is very like, in size, shape, and color, our smaller purplish damson plnnis, with a pit something similar, only smaller in proportion, rounder and more pointed. Eaten when quite ripe, the fruit has a pleasant taste and slightly aromatic flavor. From the setting of the blossom to maturity, the fruit requires about three and one-half months, though two or three pretty sharp frosts, either on the flowers or ripe fruit, do not appear to injure it. The paste is easily made, exactly as the house wife manufactures marmalade from pears or other fruit, simply by stewing, straining, and boiling down at a very low heat. There are few of the jujube trees grow ing and bearing fruit in the United States; but considering that it will thrive and bear fruit wherever the apple, peach, or pear will/and in some places where they will not, and considering also the very many purposes in confections and cookery to which it may he applied, as well as its valu able medicinal properties, a great many of our people who have gardens ought to cultivate .the jujube tree.—The Guardian'. ... HOW TO BURN COAL. Never fill a stove more than half or two thirds full of coal, even in the coldest weather. When the fire is low, never 'shake the' grate or disturb the ashes } but add from ten to fifteen small lumps of eoal, and set the draft open. When these are heated through, and somewhat ignited, add the amount necessary for a new fire, but do not disturb the' ashes yet. Let the draft be open half an hour. Now shake out the gashes. The eoal will be thoroughly ignited land will keep the stove at a- high heat from six to twelve hours, according to the cold ness of-the weather. In very oold weather after the fire is made, add coal every hour. —Albany Argus. * A PERFECT ANTIDOTE FOR ALL POI SONS.

The last generation paid no attention to this matter, at least in this country. They had no need. Dwellings were sufficiently ventilated without resort to Bpeoial appli ances for that purpose. The fires generally used were of wood, or, if coal was employ ed, it was burned in an 'open grate. The houses were not hermetically-sealed boxes, with double windows, thiok walls, and olosely-fitting doors and window sashes. The old-fashioned fire-plaoe, or even the Franklin grate, gave large egress to the vitiated air, while the numerous oraoks around the doors and windowb furnished sufficient pure air from the external atmos phere. Coal gradually usurped the place of wood for fuel, and compelled the intro duction of stones, furnaces and ranges, whioh gave out their heat, not only by im perfect radiation, but by the contact of hot iron plates with the ,air. This had the ef fect, in a close room, to destroy the natural humidity of the atmosphere, and for want of ventilation, a prejudice against stoves and ooal was engendered, as productive of disease. Perfect ventilation will remove these causes of complaint. The heat gen erated by the combustion of coal, whether anthracite or bituminous, when burned in a dose stove, is not necessarily deleteri ous. Oxygen, from its quality of supporting combustion and sustaining life—itself a form of slow combustion—Was formerly called the “ vital fluid.” The effect of a fire in a room is to use up and absorb the oxygen of the air, rendering it unfit tor breathing. To sustain life, therefore, as well as combustion, a . fresh and. continual supply of oxygen is needed. Yet this gas alone, unmixed with hydrogen and nitrogen, is not fit for either purpose—life or com bustion. In either case it destroys —acts too rapidly—in .:one. :;ine,tahoC<produbing fever, and in the other destroying the fuel too rapidly. Ventilation, therefore, is as necessary for the fire as for the lungs. The fire of a stove is not .the only source of the deterioration of the air in' our rooms. Gas-lights, lamps and candles absorb a large amount of the . oxygen, and if the products of combustion are not visible in smoke or un consumed carbon, we flatter ourselves that no deterioration of the at mosphere of the room is caused. There is no combustion without the generation of carbonic acid, a gas as fatal to animal or ganisms as any drug in the apothecary’s collection. ~ Because we do not - see this in .|hg of/a smoke or a| noxious vapor, we provide no means for its escape, and no means for introducing pure'air. For opr ! ordinary fires we are compelled to do this, as the results ofi their, 1 ., combustion would soon render our rooms uninhabitable’. It is calculated that each person con sumes, on an.average, five cubic feet of air in an hour} or, rather, extracts from it that portion capable of supporting respira tion. Put one hundred persons in a room, as a hall, containing 22,500 cubic feet of atmospheric air, a room thirty feet long, twenty-five wide, and thirty high, and in four and a half hours the air would be unfit to breathe. The increase of carbonic acid gas would soon prove deleterious. It is a beautiful provision of nature that this gas, ordinarily much heavier than atmos pheric air, is, when first exhaled lungs, lighter than the surrounding air, and rises. In time, however, it cools, and decends to our level, when we are com pelled to inhale it again. . For this reason low studded rooms are not healthy. But, if ventilation of rooms is necessary, it must not be supposed, what some have asserted and attempted to prove, that the proper ventilatiotfof rooms adds nothing to the cost of heating in cold weather. If fresh supplies of air are introduced, these supplies must be heated to- produce the re quisite temperature, which necessitates an addititional consumption of fuel. The ob jept sought is, however, well worth the increased expense entailed. It is unfortunate that our honses, espe cially our dwellings, have not been con structed, heretofore, except in rare in stances, with ventilation as one of the ob jects. We must, then, adopt temporary measures to insure a fresh supply. For. this purpose, the opening of a window at the top and the admission of pure air by a door, or the lower portion of a window on the opposite side of a room, is the most feasible means for ventilation. Currents of'air must be avoided, and this oan be clone} in a- measure, by stretching across the aperture a screen of thin , muslin, dr, better, perforated thin plates of tin or other metal. To be sure, this is an im perfect and not altogether satisfactory method of reaching the object sought, but it is better than no ventilation. This is a subject too important, and com prising too many conditions, to be justly considered in so brief an article as this. Our object is, however', to call attention to the necessity of proper ventilation, in the hope that it may awaken inquiry, andstim ulate same exertion in the right direction. ■—Scientific American. THE CANDLE FISH. Mr. John ' Lord, an Englishman, who went to British Columbia as scientific member .of the commission appointed to make the ~boundary~liiie between British and United States territory, has published in London an account of his travels, in a volume entitled “ The Naturalist in'Van couver Island and British Columbia.’’ Among his stories is the following account of an extraordinary fish. • “ I have never seen any fish half so fat and so good for Arctic winter food as the little candle-fish. It is next'to impossible to broil- or fry them, for they mejt com pletely into oil. Some idea of their mar vellous fatness may be gleaned from the fact that the natives use them as lamps.for lighting their , lodges. Tl}e fish, when dried, has a piece of rush-pith, 'or a strip' from the inner bark of the cypress tree (Thuja giganteaj) drawn through it, a long round needle made of hard wood be ing used for the purpose } it is then lighted and burns steadily until consumed. I } have read comfortably by its light j the candle-stick—literally a stick for the candle—consists of a bit of wood split at one end, and the fish inserted in the cleft. These ready-made sea-candles—little dips wanting only .a wick that can be added in a minuter—are easily transformed by heat and pressure into liquid. When the In dian drinks instead of bnrning them, he gets a fuel in the shape of oil, that keeps up .the combustion within him, and which .is burnt and consumed in the lungs, just as it was by the wick, but only gives heat. It is by no mere chance that myriads of small fish, in obediezice to a wondrous in stinct, annually visit the northern seas, containing within thetnselves all the ele ments necessary for supplying light, heat and life to the poor savage, who, but for this, must perish in the bitter cold of the long, dreary winter. “As soon as the Indians have stored away the full supply of food for the winter, all the fish subsequently taken are convert ed into oil. If we stroll down to the lodges near the beach, we Bhall see for ourselves how they manage it. The fish reserved for oil-making have been piled -in heaps until. partly decomposed; five or six fires are blazing away, and in each fire are a number of large round pebbles to be made very hot. By each, fire are four large square boxes, made from the trunk of a pine tree. A squaw carefully piles in eilbh box a layer of fish about three deep, and oovers them with cold water. She then puts five or six of the hot stones;.upou the layers of fish, and when the steam has cleared lays small pieces of wood over the stones; then more fish,' mojre water, more stones; more layers .of wood, and so. on, until, the box is filled. The oil-maker now takes all the liquid from this box, and uses it over again in stead of water in filling another box, and skims the oil off as re floats on the surface. A vast quantity of oil is thus obtained; Often as much as seven hundred weight! will be made by one small tribe. * . “ The refuse fish are-not yet done with, more oil being extracted from-them. Built against the pine tree is a small stage built of poles, very like a monster gridirpn. The refuse of the boxes, having been sewn up in porous mats, is placed on the stage, to be rolled and pressed by the arms and chests of Indian women; and the oil thus squeezed out and collected in a box plaoed underneath. Not only haß Nature, ever bountiful, sent an abundance of oil to the redskin, butjjshe actually provides ready made bottles to store it away in. The great seawrack, that grows to an immense size in those northern seas, and forms submarine forests, has a hollow stalky expanded into a complete flash at the root-end. Cut-into lengths of about three 1 feet; thesej hollow stalks, with the bulb at the end, are col lected and kept wet until required for use. As the oil is obtained it is stored away iu these natural quart bottles,.or rather larger' bottles, for some of them’ hold three pints.” THE HAG TRADE. It is very curious to observe how, by the aid of commerce, and for purposes oi manufacture, insignificant Articles assumes an importance which does not belong to them. Old rags have beep a synonym for that which iB worthless aid vile, and yet they have become in modern times one of the moßt important in their relations to manufactures. / The dirtiest of linen for cotton rags, if cleansed or bleached, cone ont of the pro cess of manufacture tie purest of white writing paper.
