w. perforated disk round tbe boraer, end rest ing on the gallery which supports the burn er. By interposing a thin piece of paper or metal to contract the passage of air through the central opening. 4th. By placing a little contracted cap on the top of the chimney.

Now, every one of these contrivances will considerably increase the power or the argand burner. Moreover, all these contrivances act on the simple principle of diminishing the velocity of the emr rent of atmospheric air, and thus allowing the minute particles of carbon, Which the gas contains, to be longer suspended ia the flame." Pttre Coffee. The editor of tbe Baltimore American visited the Commissary Department of one of the large military hospitals a few days since, and noticed several barrels of dried coffee grounds, the purpose whereof excited curiosity. The polite Commissary informed him that they received twelve dollars a barrel for the grounds. But what is it purchased for," he asked.

Well," said the Commissar, hesitatingly, it ia re aromatized by the transforming hand of modern chemistry, and put up in pound papers, which are decorated with attractive labels) and high sounding names." AVateb Meters in Philadelphia. All large consumers of wafer in Philadelphia, are to be charged hereafter by the gallon. Mr. Birkinbine, the Chief Engin eer, has issued a circular announcing that water meters will be introduced at the expense of the consumers, and bills collected quarterly at the following rates From one thousand to ten thousand gallons per day, two cents per hundred gallons. For front ten thousand to twenty thousand gallons per day, one and a half cents per one hundred gallons.

For from twenty thousand gallons per day and upward, one cent per hundred gallons. A Nev Mii.itarv Law. A bill, completely re organizing the militia of the Commonwealth, making them more servicable for resisting the raids from the enemy, has been prepared by the chairman of the Committee on the Militia system and read in place in the House. It is built mainly upon the Massachusetts system, and meets the approval of the Adjutant General. Under the bill, the State is divided into regiments and brigades, and it prescribes the manner of choosing all the officers of the minor organizations, elective.

It gives Philadelphia four brigades the pay of each officer, non commissioned officer, and private is the same as that of the regular service, allowing, however, thirty cents for rations to each man. A fine of seventy five dollars is imposed for non attendance. Important To Tax Payers. We call the attention of persons, partnerships, firms, association, and corporations made liable to any annual duty, license, or tax to the fact that the law require them to make tneir return to the Assistant Assessor of their district, of their annual income, articles or objects charged with a special tax, and their business or occupation. on or before the first Monday of May next.

A failure to comply with this requirement will subject them to an Assessment by the Assessor according to the best information he may be able to obtain, and an addition of fifty per cent, to the list by way of penalty lor neglect of puty. The payment of annual taxes with the exception of licence, will not be demanden before the 30th of June. As Old Cueiositt Gome. Travelers up the West Branch have all observed the leaning house on the brow of Mason's Hill, opposite Northumberland. It was a decided curiosity, leaning over the edge of the precipice several hundred feet high, at an angle of nearly forty five degrees, and was built many years ago by John Mason, the eccentric owner of the hill.

We are informed by a corrspondent from Northumberland, thaton last Sunday afternoon set of scamps, supposed to nave been employees of the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg railroad company, went over to the hill, and putting handspikes under the old leaning house pried it off its foundation, and threw it down the hill, breaking it to pieces. No doubt it was rare sport for the rascals but the owner of the property, Wm. Blliot, is endeavoring to discover who they were, and if he succeeds ia detecting them he will make it dear sport for them. Sunbury Gazette. Kvery: body having experience knows that with a suitable cavity for deposit, bees will store as much honey in one place as in another, whether flour barrel, nail keg, or square box.

hive for improved bee culture is not expected increase the amount of honey, but to facilitate the division of it so tint we can take a portion of it, leaving the rest for the bees and render easier the inspectionaof the interior. Aside from the movable comb hives, it is dim cult to find an improvement over the old box, with tliesurplus boxes added. One not sufficiently acquainted with the nature of bees to take advantage of some of the facilities offered by the movable combs, would do better to use the simple box, until he has acquired the requisite practical knowledge to make the other profitable.

Facts About Meats. 1 Everv wife and mother it an self, her husband, and her children, as well as to society at large, to prevent was to id every department of the household, whetb er provisions are cheap or dear, whether the husband is rich or poor for waste is a crime against humanity, an insult to the bounteous II aud which givetli ns all things richly to enjoy." On the other hand, true economy is one of the wisest, the best, and ennobling of domestic virtues.

A hundred careful experiments were made in England in reference to roasting aud boiling meats, in order to ascertain the respective losses: Roasted chickens lost 15 per ct. beef ribs and sirloins, 19 per ct. geese, 19 per ct. boiled mutton legs, 10 per ct. boiled beef, 15 per ct.

boiled shoulder mutton, 28 per ct. turkeys, 20 per ct. mutton legs and shoulders, 24 per ct. ducks, 27 percent. Boiling beef saves more than four per cent, over roasting.

If a leg of mutton is boiled it looses ten per cent. if roasted, twenty five per cent 1 The fatter meat is, the greater the loss it should be moderately fat to make it tender but there i. i an unprofitable fatness. Eleven pounds of roast rib pieces loses two pounds, and the bones one pound so that of tbe eleven pounds, only Seven pounds come to tho table. Hence if roast rib pieces cost in New York, in April, 1804, twenty cents a pound at the butcher's stall, it is more than thirty one cents a pound on the dinner It is philosophically true that one pound of clear roast beef is more concentrated than one pound of boiled beef, baa less matter in it, and hence may contain more nouiishment; but the more concentrated food is, the more unwholesome it is, not only because it requires a greater digestive power to convert it into pure blood, but the sense of sufficiency at meals is induced to a considerable extent by the bulk of what is taken, and it we eat concentrated food until there is bulk enough to remove the feeling of hunger, there is so much nu triment in it that nature can't extract it all in a perfect manner hence there i not only too much nutriment for tho wants of the system, but all of it is imperfectly pre pared, and wo really get less strength and less pure blood out of it, than if much less had been eaten, or it had been taken in more ouikv, or, ii you please, in a more watery condition.

This is the reason why dyspeptics and others eat a great deal, but they do not get strong. But ii there is too much bulk, there is not cnousrh nutri although a great deal is taken into the stomach. Porter and beer, for exam pic, fill up the stomach, and seem to make persons fleshy, but there is but little nutri ment and great bulk; but great beer drink ers are never Btrons, they are puffy. ITalVs Jtsurnal of Health. The Dress Reform.

The New York Tribune of the 16th savs The patriotic Women of our City are invited by some of tne mpst eminent and esteemed among them to meet at 1 o'clock to day at Cooper Insti tute to give sanction and impulse to the movement inaugurated at Washington for the promotion of National Economy by a general abstinence from the use of Foreieri Fabrics during the remainder of the Believing this movement a wise and noble one, we urge true Women to attend the meeting, unite in the movement, and then labor to secure the adhesion to it of their relatives and friends. The times urgently demand Eeonomy and Sobriety. We arc involved in the greatest and most exhaustive struggle the world has ever known. It is madness to insist that it is not rapidly diminishing our National Wealth. We are distroying railroads, steamboats, ships, canals, bridges, dwellings, taster than we ever built them.

Large tracts of our country lie uncultivated because of AVar's desolation and perils; other portions are tilled to no purpose the fruits of the husbandman's indust ry being trampled into the earth by the war horse. Waste, ravage, conflagration, ruin, maiming, death, are all around us: who can wish in such times to sport gay dresses, and flaunt in all rhe hues of tho rainbow Women, of this Emporium, your example has hitherto stimulated rather than repressed the extravagance of your rural sisters now set them a pattern of patriotic devotion and frugali Tiie Penalties op Fame. The groat English poet Tennyson is exposed to great annoyance from the curiosity of intruders. Strangers are found from time to time seated in his garden, peering in at his windows, wandering freely through his grounds. From the lawn in front, when conversing with his family in assumed privacy; he has, on casually looking up, discovered an enterprising British tourist taking mental' notes of his conversation from the branches of a tree above.

Mr. Tennyson has been compelled to make fences, raise embankments, train foliage, and in fact half fortify his house, and in spite of all is not permitted to enjoy what any of our readers so circumstanced would expect to enjoy as a thing of course the quiet freedom of country home.

Where once all was gladness And innocent mirth. I'm weary so weary, Of this dull heavy pain, That is breaking my heart And is crushing my btain Will the burden ne'er lighten The gun never shine To dispel the deep glcom 'v7 In this sad heart of mine The battle is raging So fiercely and wild, The dead and the dying Together are piled No friend near to soothe them, To hear their last moan, Ere the spirit, released, To its maker has flown. Oh God can it be That my darling is there, AVilh no gentle hand To smoothe back the damp hair, No lips to press fondly His pure white brow Can it be, that my darlii.g Is dying now Our Fattier in heaven" Hear thou our prayer, In thy great mercy 1 Our loved one spare, Save and deliver i In danger's dark hour, And be thou li is portion And strength evermore.

Jessiz. Unseemly Extravagance. The lavish expenditure and love of dis' play which is becoming so prevalent among a portion of our people has called iortu many remonstrances and thoro aro voices not crying in the wilderness, but stronc in their utterances, among men'that cannot let tho iiilly pass unrcbuked. Nor should they. We reproduce herewith an article upon this subject which recently appeared in the lyeening ust: A man builds a marble stable ori the renr of his lot, at a cost of eighty thousand dollars, and his up private theatre over it.

Another pays eitjiit thousand dollars for pair of horses to drive on the road for his pleasure; and many givo from fifteen hun dred to three thousand dollars for the same oniect. Another provides a dinner lor a dozen friends rejecting the old supersti tion ot the nnlncky thirteenth and this simple dinner costs one thousand dollars A children's party is sriven in an up town house, where every child is clad entirely in dresses imported from Paris. An Ameri can citizen purchases a house for over one hundred thousand dollars, and tears it down, to rebuild upon its site one yet more costly. These arc signs ot the times are they not evidences of a state of things un healthful, feverish, threatening to the honest simplicity of our political life and threatening not less evil to the ideas and tho principles of which that life has hith erto been a fair exponent? What business have Americans, at any tirne, with such vain show, such useless magnificence But, especially, how can they justify it to themselves in this time of war Some men have gained great fortunes during the last two or three years; but that does not excuse their extravagance. Is there nothing worthier than personal adornment in which to invest their means 'I Are there no enterprises open to these men of for tune which would beneht the country and their feljows as well as themselves One man spends two hundred thousand dollars upon a dwelling house but he might build with this sum a long row of decent cot tages, to rent to people in moderate circumstances he might enable fifty or a hundred families of workingmen to live cleanly and respectably in New York, and thus make himself a public benefactor and that without sinking his money where he can never recover it.

Or, instead of dressing a few children in silks and jewels, and robbing them of the freshness and charm of youth by these vanities, why not Spend the money in sending the homeless children of the city to comfortable farm houses in the vrst, Where they will be trained to industry and virtuous conduct, and grow up good citizens The sum wasted on a dozen children at a party would probably suffice to send a hundred to the AVe3t, and make honest citizens of In England, during the French war, useful enterprises of nil kinds were originated, prospered. There Jhen, as with us now, an inflated currency great fortunes were made by speculative ventures, as hero now. No duubt, too, there was extravagance; but there arose, at the same time, a spirit favorable to useful enterprises of many kinds such as we wish could obtain amongst us. We have far better opportunities for such use of capital; we have mines, new manufactures, waste lands, to bo developed and brought into profitable use; we have comparatively a new country to our back, in which tho prudent capitalist can see a thousand opportunities to increase his store, and, at the same time, benefit his countrymen. The citizen, therefore, who wastes his gains upon ostentatious houses, extravagant furniture, dress, or food, commits a crime against his coun try.
