The Coming Weather.

Prot. Vennor IS early in the field
with his weather predictions for
the coming winter. In a private
to the Argus, under date Of
Friday last, he said: "Snowfalls
will be very universal this season,
and will extend, in all probability,
not only far 10 the Southwark in
America, but across TO Europe,'
The snowfall Of the 18th was
marked in this respect. His pre-
dictions for December are as fol-
lows: December in all probability,
will open with little snow, but the
weather will be cloudy, threaten.
ing s%nowfalIs, During the opening
days Of the month, dust, with the
very light mixture Of snow which
may have fallen, will be swapt in
hurries by the gusty wind. There
will probably be some snow from
about the 4th of the month. With
the second quarter of the month
colder weather will probably sei
in, with falls Of snow. The farmers
will be able to enjoy sleigh rides
in the cold, exhilarating air; but
good sleighing need not be expect
ed until after the middle Of thu
month. There will be a spell o
mild weather about the thirteenth

A Guaranty of Character.

The primitive Baptists, says the Ogle-
thorpe (Ga.) Echo, make it a rule to ex-
pei a member from the church who takes
advantage of any relief law or refuses to
pay a debt. A few months since one of
this class, a pretty rough looking case,
entered an Athens store and wanted
credit for a few goods until he could sell
his cotton. Not knowing his customer,
the merchant refused; but about this
time a well-known elder of the church
entered, and, tapping the farmer on the
shoulder, asked Show are you, Bro.
Blank ?" els that gentleman a men,
Der of your church, Uncle d. ?" asked
the tradesman. sob, yes, and a good
one, too," was the reply. "Well, then,
my friend" continued the dealer, "go
through this house, from cellar to gar
ret, and pick out what you want. Twill
sell you the whole establishment, clerks
and all, on credit, with only your relig-
ion as security" 1t turned out that the
customer was n of the solid men of
Northeast Georgia.

Meerschaurn.

The word m~eerschaum In the German
means sea-foam, and the material was so
named because of its lightness and
whitish appearance. 1t is q mineral of
soft, earthly texture, somewhat resem-
bling chalk. It is found in Greece and
Turkey, as we'll as in Spain, occurring
in the form of veins and otherwise. In
Turkey it is used extensively as fuller's
earth. The custom is to roughly shape
it into blocks or rude forms of pipes for
expectation. Pesth and Vienna are ia
nous cities for the manufacture of meer-
schaum pipes, and at Geneva quite q
number of the elegant smokers are to be
seen. The manufacture of the spurious
article is extensive, Paris leading in the
newer limitations. To produce the yell
low and brown colors, so much admired
in the real meerschaum pipe, and which
come only after they are smoked some
time, the blocks are long keptin a MKT
ure of wax and fatty matter. These
are in part absorbed, and, afterward, be-
ing acted on by the heat from the to-
bacco, the meerschaum assumes various
shades of colors. What are known as
artificial meerschaums-made from the
parings of the genuine material, reduced
to fine powder, boiled in water, and
nodded into blocks-cannot easily be
distinguished from the real, but they
are generally heavier and more free
from blemishes.

Tree CuIture.

European Larch.-Robert Douglas
& Sons, of Waukegan. Ill, say of this
that it succeeds best planted on gravel
ly upland, anywhere north of the 40th
parallel (; grows rapidly even on thin,
poor soils. Timber durable and valu-
able for ties, posts, etc. If planted on
very rich or undrained soils, the timber
is said to be of little value. Must be
planted very early in the spring.
White Ash.-This they remark may
be planted in rich, strong soil, in any
portion of the United States north of
the 38th parallel. Wood unequaled for
all purposes requiring strength, elastici-
ty and Iightness. It is becoming scarce,
and is in great demand.
Hardy Catalpa, G. speciosa, may be
planted in rich, strong soil, anywhere
south of the 42d parallel, but has not
been tested in New England. Is espe-
cially recommended for the Western
prairies, where the growth is exceeding
ly rapid. Wood unequaled for durabii-
ty, and in great demand for ties, posts,
ETC., also valuable for cabinet work.
Especially recommended.
Wild Black Cherry, Prunus seroti-
ma, may be planted in any part of the
United States, in a dry soil. Grows
rapidly. Wood in great demand fol
cabinet making.
Scotch Pine.-Wn grow rapidly In
the poorest soil and most exposed situa'
ton, where it will make better timber
than on too rich soil.

Take Care Of Your Health.

The Rev. Robert Collyer wal brou ght
up by a mother who had such a Faculty
that she managed to raise O family of
four children and provide for herself and
husband on four dollars and a half a
week, which was all the father earned.
The bill of fare and its effect are thus
stated:
Oatmeal and milk and oat-cake a
plenty, with a bit of meat always for the
worker, and sometimes for the smaller
fry, and a sip of tea on Sundays, stick
jaw pudding that tires our chin, with
the marmalade. spread over so thin
potatoes and salt, and then more oat-
meal, and the result is that to this day
not n of us knows what you mean by
a SYSTEM or a digestion, or a con
stitution,' so strong and sure are the
foundations of our life."
By this training Mr.. Collyer was able
to tell a class of students what they
should do:
eff you want to do well, keep we'll, if
you possibly can. Do not let even your
education rob you of your health. It is
about the worst thing you can do under
the whip and spur of a noble purpose,
and it is what vast numbers do, to their
lifelong regret"
When a fine painter took the butcher

What "Wife0 Means.

Says Ruskin "What do yon think
the beautiful word wife comes from?
1t is the great word in which the En-
glish and Latin languages conquered
the French and Greek. I hope the
French will some day get a word for it
instead of that femme. But what do
you think it comes from? The great
value of the Saxon words is that they
mean something. Wife means weaver
You must either be housewives or house.
moths, remember that. In the deep
sense, you must either weave mems
fortunes and embroider them, or feed
upon and bring them to decay. Wher-
ever q true wife comes, home is always
around her. The stars may be over her
head, the glow-worm in the nights cold
grass may be the fire at her feet, but
home is where she is, and for a noble
oma it stretches far around her, bet
ter than houses ceiled with cedar OF
painted with vermillion-shedding its
quiet light for those who else are home
less. This, I believe, is the woman's
true place and power"

Interesting Facts About Trichine.

DR.. Tomboeken, of Chicago, furnishes
some interesting facts relating to trichi-
nae. When taken into the stomach the
parasites are inclosed in individual lime
capsules. These enveloping sacs are
absorbed by the juices of the stomach
and the trichin@ are set free. Within
six days the male and female meet and
population takes place, the result of
which is the birth from each female of
no less than 1000 young. The old and
the young alike soon begin to wander
about. The latter are so small that they
penetrate the walls of the stomach or
intestines without causing much, If any,
disturbance or pain. During the ten
days before the wandering begins there
is no serious trouble. In the meantime
they have been carried pretty well out
of the stomach and into the intestmes.
The myriads which have set out on their
expeditions go in every direction, and
are SO numerous that they pierce the
flesh with millions of infinitesimal holes.
The result is a disarrangement of the
tissues, and Inflammation sets in. While
the parasites are in the stomach they
nausea. There is loss of appetite,
but no pain, except a excessive vomit-
ing or purging may u it. When
once in the muscles, pain begins. There
is not a prickling sensation, as n might
suppose, but a dull pain, like that of
rheumatism. During the sickness the
patient is unable to retain food in his
stomach long enough to derive any
nourishment therefrom, and he finally
dies of exhaustion. When the trichine
has once left the stomach, or intestines,
nothing can be done to arrest it in its
course. It continues to burrow through
the flesh until it sees fit to curl up, when
it becomes incased in its membranous
sac. It is then dormant, and remains
an indefinite period in that condition,
still retaining life, but powerless to do
harm until it is released by some such
process as that described above. Trichina
are killed by heat no greater than the
boiling point hence there is no danger
from trichin@ in eating pork which has
been thoroughly cooked.

USEFUL HINTS.

L~AMP-sHADEs of ground glass should
be washed with soda and water, which
will not discolor them.
STRAW mating may be cleaned with a
large coarse cloth dipped in salt and
water and then wiped dry. The salt
prevents the straw from turning yellow.
TEA leaves, used for keeping down
the dust when sweeping carpets, are apt
to stain light colors salt is the best in
the winter and m hay IN sum
mer.
THE best known preventive for falling
hair is American petroleum. It should
be rubbed on the head quickly with the
palm of the hand. In all it should be
used six or seven times, at an interval of
three days.
To MAKE SHOES WATERPRooF.-A
coat of gum-copal varnish applied to
I the soles of boots and shoes, and re-
peated as it dries until the pores are
filled, and the surface shines like pol
ished mahogany, will make the soles
waterproof, and make them last three
times as long.
To REMOVE GREASE STAINS FROM
WooD.-Spread some starch powder
over the grease spots, and then go over
it with a hot fiatiron till you draw he
grease /; then scrape with a glass or a
proper scraper, and repeat the starch
powder and hot iron. Ammonia liquor
may be used. as a finish, if the starch
does not take all the grease out.
To REMOVE freckles from your face,
! take one ounce of bitter almonds, one
ounce of barley-four, and a sufficient
quantity of honey; beat the whole into
a smooth paste, spread it thinly on the
skin at night, and wash it off in the
morning. It is frequently possible to
remove freckles without decomposing
them, by merely stimulating the alb
sorbent vessels of the skin.
THE following is said to be a cheap
and true barometer Put a small guam
tity of pulverized alum in q long half
ounce bottle, and fill it with spirits OF
wine. When the atmosphere is clear
and dry the spirits will be as clear as
a crystal, but o. the approach of rain OF
bad weather the alum will raise In
the form of a spirit cloud, which is
! an infallible indication of rain or bad
weather.
How TO CLEAN HAIR BRUsHEs.-It is
best to clean two at q time, in this way
First, comb them well, to remove the
loose hair or dust, then dip the bristles
only in very warm water, sprinkle eacI
brush with plenty of powdered borax
and rub the two together after they arr
cleansed thoroughly, have a pitcher o
hot water, and pour it over the bristles
keep the back of the brush as dry a.
possible. Shake the water well out
dry quickly in the sun. Brushet
washed in this way will retain thei
stiffness.
BLEACHING FLANNEh.-Flannel which
has become yellow with use may b,
bleached by putting it for some days il
a. solution of hard soap to which stron,
ammonia has been added. The hes
proportions are n pound and a half O
hard curd soap, fifty pounds of soft wa
ter, and two-thirds of a pound of stron,
ammonia solution. The same obiec
may be attained in q shorter time b,
placing the flannel for a quarter of al
hour in a weak solution of bisulphate @
sodium, to which a little hydrochlori
acid has been added.

Di.a.trou. Boiler Explosion.

At Wendell, Mass, Messrs. Marble & Clark
had a portable steam saw mill with which they
were engaged in cleaning off a timber lot.
While in operation the boiler exploded with
terrific force, demolishing the mill, and a por-
ton of it was hurled against the building oc.
cupied by those at work on the lot, which was
set on fire and entirely consumed, and Messrs.
Marble & Clark, the proprietors; Oscar Brown,
Geo. Brown, and Willie Brown, all young men
from II to 81 years old, sons of Hosea Brown,
of New Salem; and Mrs. FELTON,, who was
