THE HOUSEHOLD.


Aunt sally's Ideas About Neatness.
Messrs. Editors! In your paper Of Nov.
18th 1.-THE Elderly Maiden" expresses her
ideas which like very much, and am very
glad TO hear her mention some of the things
which certainly seem unolean. II reminds
me of several things have SEEN Hoping
none of the readers Of the Household corner
will say "She means me" will mention on
ly few. / don't like to see dishes of any
kind washed in a tin wash basin which is
used to wash hands in, although IL is washed
out at least once day thoroughly clean. And
have seen water dipped from an iron kettle
which was kept constantly on the stove, to
make tea and coffee with; could not relish it.
once visited a lady who was a very nice,
neat housekeeper, and was surprised to see
her take a dish pan. to mix the biscuit for
supper. thought perhaps it was one kept
expressly for that purpose, but the dishes
were washed in it. like a good white earth
en- bowl, made for the purpose, for white
will show the dirt I'm not Of the old lady's
mind who, when she went to buy a set of
crockery said she didn't care what II was, IL
| il would not show the dirt" have seen
person while washing dishes wiring out the
dishcloth and wipe slop from the floor which
was far from being clean, and resume dish
washing. like a clean dish-cloth as often
as two or three times a week. They ought to
be thoroughly washed and boiled every week.
think l hear some one saying 'if that
woman isn't an old maid she ought TO have
been one, so will drop the subject although,
l have not mentioned half the nice things
I've seen. l would like to say something in
regard to the old maids children, but have
not time now. Hoping to hear from Ely
Mn again will try to do better next time.

The Weather for January.

The general correctness of Vennor's
weather prognostications will make his
prophecy as to the weather for January
of interest. 1t is as follows:
AS will have been seen from the fore
cast of December, / anticipate that New
Years callers will have heavy sleighing
this year from Montreal to Washington,
ID. c., and that cold snap during the
first quarter of this month will preserve
it for that period. expect blockades of
snow in the United States about the 7th
and 9Th of January; and rainy days dur
ing the month will be exceedingly few.
The second quarter will open with
heavy snow falls and terminate In cold
snap.
The middle of the month will bring
snow falls which will terminate in pnild-
er weather toward the end of the third
quarter. This thaw, which will be in
terrupted by brief cold spell, will ex-
tend from about the 18th of the mopth
into February.
The record of this month will show it
will have been q severe one and the gen.
eral condition of the weather will prob-
ably remind us of some of what are
called "real old-fashioned winters.''

Shocking Death of a Horse.


A valuable horse belonging to Frank
lin Miller, farmer on one of DR.. James
G. Livingood's farms near Stouchsburg
killed himself in very singular way
Mr.. Miller was in the stable short time
before and all was right. Soon after
dinner he returned to the stable, when
to his horror the whole stable was he.
spattered with blood, even the other
horses being literally covered, and his
best horse, 5-year-old, was PROSTATE in
the stall dying. 1t appears the horse
kicked the boards loose in the stall
which were nailed to post six by seven
inches thick and about six feet high. In
kicking the horse, fell astride this post
with his hind legs. The force with
which he fell on the post caused it to
run clear through his body up to the
spine. In his agony he threw himself
off again, and fell to the ground, where
he died in few minutes. His entrails
were protruding and pieces of flesh ad-
hered to the post.

said that II was connected with curl
Gus history. He left home when small
boy, and not hearing from his parents
for years, supposed them to be dead
In 1866 he had occasion to go from Attlca
to Buffalo, bought his ticket, and missed
the train. AS he had to go before the
next Erie train for Buffalo should come
along, he bought New York Central
Railroad ticket and took train on that
line. He got to talking to the passenger
sitting next to him, and presently found
that II was his own father The old
gentleman had thought his son dead, for
he knew that he had Joined the Union
army. been taken prisoner, and sent to
Andersonville. He had made his will
and left all his property to nephew,
but he resolved then to destroy the will
for the benefit of his son. That was a
lucky missing of train, lucky TO the
extent of $500 worth OF property Sc
cured thereby.

Effects of a Dream.

NEWARK, Dec, 27.-To.d day woman
came to the Jail and asked to see Lam
mems, the murderer of Meierhoffer, who
is to be hanged January 9th, Mutual
recognition followed and 1t transpired
that she was Lammens' wife. While
living in Brooklyn sixteen years ago
Lammens was convicted of burglary
and sent to Sing Sing, afterward to Au-
burn and latter to the Utica Insane
Asylum, and still later was reported
dead, hence the wife did not suspect her
husband when she read familiar name
as that of the Newark convict. She
was induced by dream to make the
visit to-day.
