Fill Your Lamps in the Morning.
Scarcely a week passes but we read ac
counts of frightful accidents from kero
sene lamps, exploding and killing, or
scarring for lite, women ; and children.
A simple knowledge of the inllamable
nature of the fluid wiil probably put a
stop to nearly all the accidents. As the
oil bums down in the lamp, highly in
flanjalrfe gas gathers over its surface, and
as the oil decreases the gas increases.
When the oil is nearly consumed a slight
jar will ofteu inflame the gas, and an
explosion is sure to follow death and
destruction. A bombshell ia no more
to be dreaded. Now, if the lamp is net
allowed to burn more than halfway down,
such accidents are almost impossible
Always fill your lamp every . morning,
then you need never fear an explosion.
Married Men. There is an expres
sion in the face of a good married niati
who lias a good wife, that a bachelor can
not have. It ia indescribable. He is a
little nearer the angels than the prettiest
young fellow living. You can see that
the broad breast is a pillow for some
body's head, and thit little fingers pull his
whiskers. No one ever mistakes the
good married man. It is only the erratic
one s that leave you in doubt. " 1 he good
one con wotect all the unprotected fe
males, and make himself agreeable to the
ladies, and yet never leave a doubt on my
unnu that there is a precious little wo
man at home worth all tho world to him.
31 r. Charles Delatuerc, of New Orleans,
has discovered a process by which . the
saccharine property from sweet potatoes
(can be extracted and its precipitate made
into sugar, -i He took one bushel of pota
toes weighing fifty-two pounds, and,
with a rudei apparatus for extracting the
juice, aided by the addition of some
ingredients known only to himself, made
two and three-quarters gallons of beauti
ful golden syrup. He estimates that a
barrel of potatoes, worth on the planta
tion one dollar, will yield eight gallons
of syrup, which would be sold cheaper
than cane syrup. "
Mr. Curtiss. a successful farmer and
fruit-grower of Berkshire, Mass., hastens
the maturing of his grapes by pouring
around the foots of his vines warm rain
water warm soap-suds if he ha? them.
So well satisfied is he of the beneficial in
fluences of warm water, that he is now
laying down pipes to carry hot water to
