be simple, and easily and effectively used. Fire was the great- 

 est invention of man; its most humanizing application \vjis to 

 cooking; and a stove instead of a fire-place one of the great- 

 est blessings to woman. The modern range-form, either set or 

 portable, is a great advance over the high stoves yet in very 

 common use. Being lower, the lifting on and off of articles gives 

 an aggregate, in the course of a day, of great relief to muscular 



exertion. There is greater working surface ; six holes are more 

 convenient than four; and an internal arrangement is allowable 

 that insures perfect baking at all times with coal, and with a 

 great economy of fuel, apparently otherwise unattainable ; and 

 bad baking is a great vexation to woman, as well as a great waste. 

 The range-form is also made at less cost.* A wooden handle on 

 a kettle is a small matter, but will save many steps and morons. 

 All such little things must be observed, for woman's toils are 

 numerous, and she should receive corresponding facilities.

The following figures illustrate a neat form of Tourniquet 

 being applied. The lettered Fig. is a section of a limb at the 

 point of application. E indicates an elastic band, a yard or more 

 in length, that drawn tightly and repeatedly passed around the 

 arms of the Tourniquet, will surely compress the artery A, 

 yet not so as to altogether prevent the action of the neighbor- 



* The author takes especial pride in having done something to improve cook- 

 insr-apparatus. The, Monitor ranjre, figured above, in extern;)! form does not differ 

 from others, but it has internal arransements that render it the best for cooking, 

 purtic.nlarly hakinc, nnd with much the preat^M economy in fuel of anything yet 

 invento'l. H,- is also nreparin-r a Treatise on Ventilation, Heat, nnd its household 

 p, present in economical and intore.^inc: suggestions.
