Heating Rooms.
A simple contrivance is being used in many houses just now, writes a correspondent, which is Baid by those who have tried it not only to cause a fire to throw more heat into a room, but at a small expenditure of coals. Buy for a few pence a fire-brick about 2in. thick. When the fire is burning briskly and the coals are aglow, lay this flat brick on the top of the fire. The result will be that the brick will intercept the heat that otherwise escapes up the chimney,. become red hot, and throw the heat out into the room in a way that a fire without this simple device will not do. We are told that many housewives have adopted this plan, and are greatly pleased with the results.
