M4 ia) HOME COMFORTS FOR FARMERS. The oomfoTt'of the farmer's family should not be overlooked. Very old farm-hoaaei, and those that ire oheaply built for tempor- ary uee until a better one can be afforded, are often most uncomfortable in amen weather. Windows and doors admit the ixternal air more freely than is required for ventilation. Weather-strips made of India rubber are very effective, but .they are not be had everywhere, and require more ol an outlay than is always convenient. A lit. tie lngennity will provide substitutes. For the windows, plaoe small wedges between the upper and lower Bashes, to prevent rat- tling, then paste on stripe of brown paper ' \th e cracks, using stiff flom paste, or that made from rye meal with a little alum added. It is well to leave on* upper sub. to be let down, aa may be re- quired for ventilation. Doom may be made tight by tacking taiWi listing or folded stripe of woollen oloth along the sides and tops. The opening at the bottom of doors is usually the largest. For these, tako pleoos of small scantling, of the propel length, and oover with old carpet or othei it fabrio, Htufflng the side which goes against the door with wool, cotton, with bay, to make a sort of cushion.

Counterfeiting runs in families, nd without exception the men engaged in are all poor. For instance, take the illard family. Thomas, Benjamin, George id John, tour brothers, all in our clutches, igether with an aunt There is one rother out of jail, but we\ are satisfied thai 3 is an honest man. Thomas Ballard is a onderful fellow. He is the only person, 10 far aa we know, who has succeeded in imitating the fibre paper upon which the genuine notes and bonds are printed. At iresent he is serving a thirty years' sentence a reward for his discovery. He is a ' of no ordinary attainments, and he rented a prooess by whioh he waa able to a genuine two dollar or one dollar bill id completely remove all the traces of ink from its surface.
