Burn Your Kerosene tlie. Illglitffy^jj. A correspondent calls the attention of all consumers of kerosono oil to tho pernicious and nnhealthy practice of using lamps filled with that article with the wioks turned down.

Is Dining a Lost Art? A correspondent of tho Pall Mall Ga zette considers' dining a nest art-; this has partially arisen from excessive style, for which the' ladies are responsible. This grumbler growls because he is al ways placed between two women, and, the width of-the table, with its display of plante, outs off the men opposite. Then the invention of gas has played the mischief with the comfort of <liners; there is an excess of light, an intense glare of dazzling table-cloth, which now is never removed. " How pleasant," he says, "it used to be in' old days to see the white table-oloth rolled up and taken away 1" This grumbler has no hope f?r better things, saying: "The ladies, 11 fear, take too much pride in these sol- ' emn festivities ever to consent to give them np. They will, in spite of our protestations, go on making broad their tables, and .enlarging the borders of their table-cloth. They might, however, keep their wide tables, their greenhouse plants, their blaze of gas, their heated air, their crowded parties, for all the fools of their acquaintance." Beef Clubs. "fi Beef clubs are found very convenient and profitable in many localities in the qpuntry. They are. formed of a dozen or more ..members, each Of whom in turn provides a steer or cow, and feeds the same till ready for the butcher at the time fixed. The animal is to be fat or a fine is assessed. They are butch ered in a central locality, usually every Saturday, and divided between tho members, in parts of equal value. At the end of the term a Bettlemont is made, and thoso who are in debt pay the amounts, which are then paid over to those who have a credit. Of course the debts exaotly balance the credits on the whole. Each member gets about twenty-five pounda of beef over week. If it is desirable, the club might consist of twenty-six members, and each one might provide a beef twice' a year. This would give a constant supply.? Indiana Farmer. A W alktng Advertisement.
