The Open Court Publishing Com
pany have now in press the Princi
ples of Bacteriology, by Prof. Ferd
inand Hnppe, of the University oi
Prague, translated by Prof. E. O.
.Ionian, of the Universityoi Chicago.
This volume is the most scientific
and rigorous manual of bacteriology
that has yet been written. It treats
its subjects as a connected science
rather than as a collection of loose
data; it explodes many popular and
professional prejudices on the sub
ject, and is especially strong on its
uhilosoohieal side. (Pd.475. Price,

To Make Your Coal Last.
To make half a ton of coal go us
tar as fifteen hundred weight, an ex
change reoommeods that a quantity
of chalk be placed in the grates.
Once heated this is practically inex
haustible from inuombustion and
gives out great heat. Place the
chalk at the back o I' each of your
fires in nearly equal proportion with
the coal. Full satisfaction will be
felt both as to the cheer fill noss and
as to the warmth of the tire, and the
savins throiitrhout the winter w illle
at the rate of twenty five per cent.
