Tub July NumiKRof "Peterson's Maga
zine" is on our table, -and is unusually
good, even for this unrivalled Monthly.
The principle embellishment is a spirited
sttel engraving, "Ahead of the Field," il
lustrating an old-fashioned lovestory. The
fristiion-plnte is on steel, end richly colored.
"Pttorsuu," bo it known, is celebrated for
tho surpassing style and beauty of his
Paris fash ion-plates. The stories are all
oriftir.nl, and by our very best waiters. It
gives more for the money than any other.
Iidofd. it is a standing wonder how so
?oo d a magazine nan be published at so
low n price, viz.. S2.00 to single subscri
bers, $1.50 to clubs of four; but it is to be
accounted for, we suppose, by the enor
mous circulation. As' tbe publisher says,
"a small profit on a largo edition is better,
both for I ho public and for him, thin a
largo profit on a smaller edition,' No lady
iif taste ought to bo without "Peterson "
Now is the time to subscribe, for the July
number begins n new volume, and sub
scriptions will bo taken, if desired, for six
months, at half price, so that tbe subscrip
tion may end with (he year. Address

Music can no longer be considered a
lusuty, and. those who spend fabulous
sums in purchasing Sheet Musio are
simply throwing their money away. It
our musical i'rictnls will take the trouble
to procure a enpy of Peter's Musical
Monthly, they will see what their wiser
friends ore doing namely, getting bet
ter Music nt one and two cents a piece
than they are buying at thirty, forty,
and fiUy cents. Each number of this
valnahlw publication contains thirty-six
P'i:i's of Music, printed from full-size
music plates, embracing Sacral and
Secular Songs, Duets, Choruses, Polkas,
Waltzes, etc.. in every issue.
The July number commences Volume
VIII., and contains thirteen pieces of
Music, neatly bound, that would cost
just four dollars and fifty cents in sheet
form. You can get it by mail, post-paid,
by sending thirty cents to J. L. Peters,
509 Broadway, New York.
The newest and best, the most beau
tiful and brilliant, consequently the
most popular and fashionable songs are
Three Little Words, by J. A. Butter
field, author of ''Sweet Ethel May,"
"When you and I were Young Maggie,"
etc., and The Beautiful Days That are
Past, by the popular Frank Howard,
author of "Guees Who?" and "Little
Barefoot."
The melody of Three Little Words is
as sweet as a wild wood-bird's love song,
and the words as beautiful as a flower-
strewn prairie.
Mr. Howard, in a letter to the pub
lisher, notifying him of the completion
of The Beautiful Days That are Past,
says: "I think tbe song one of tho
best I have ever written."
If your nearest musio dealer does
not have theso songs on hand, nor will
not order them for yoa, send 35 cents
for each ono direct to me, and I will
forward them to you by return mail.
To persons seudiog me the names and
address of all musio dealers they may
known, and stating in what magazine
they saw this notice, I will, for one dol
lar, mail them two copies of one song
and one of the other, and send a 35
cent piece free. Address the Publisher,

Is Safe Esrosess Cheaper than Sancsrsns.
Our ccientifio periodicals have for
many months been instituting ft war
agaiust tho vendors of volutilc and dan
gerous kerosene. They have exposed
its treacherous properties, and giveu the
public an idea of how to detect the
fraudulent article, with very little
trouble or expense. There is, however,
one point which, although not alto
gether, has in a great measure been lost
sight of, namely, that it is more econo
mical for those ot limited means to
burn a high fire test and immaculately
safe oil than it is to consume the lighter
and more dangerous fluid. This fact
may be practically demonstrated in a
very simple manner. Take two lamps
similar in every respect, placo in the
one a pint of oil which t-tand a fire test
of 00 degrees, and in the other a pint
of oil which stands a firo test of 110
degrees of heat. The safer oil will not
merely measure n higher candlo power,
but it will also last a very much longer
time than the other. When the fire
test is increased to 175 degrees of heat,
the length of time which it will last is
increased in a much greater ratio than
the extra price for which it can be manu
factured. The reason of this is, that
the dangerous article contains a larget
proportion ot hydrogen, which has no
illumiuatiug properties whatever, nnd
tho safer article a larger proportion of
carbon, which is the light giving prin
ciple ot the oil. The dangerous arti
cle is also constantly evaporating and
wasting away without any benefit being
derived from it, while the safer article,
which cannot vaporize nt tho ordinary
temperatures of the atmosphere, remains
iotnet. Oil which will stand a firo test
of 110 degs. will commeuco to vaporize
at 90 degs. Oil of 120 degs. will vap
orize a 105 degs., and oil of 175 deys.
will give off vapor at 150 degs. Tho
latter oil may be considered absolutely
safe for every purpose, in fact it is as
safe as lard oil. Where there is ti pos
sibility of the oil being exposed to 105
degs. of heat, the high fire . test oil
should always be used. If these facts
were thoroughly understood by the
people, there would be little demand
for dungerous oil, which would bo almcst
driven from the market. Harrisburg

To Make Stale Bread Fresh.
Put the loaf into a clean tin, and cover
closely to exclude all water, and set
into a steamer or kettle of boiling water
for halt an hour; then remove from the
tin and it will look like fresh bread, and
be really almost equal to a new loaf.

and four feet in diameter.
