MIR. VENNOR
He Says His January Thaw Was
Crowded Ont OfIhe Month. and
Makes Some More Guesses.

Mr.. Henry G.. Vennor, of Montreal
has written the following letter to the
Albany Argus, under date of Fe3ru-
airy /:
When the rain storms arrived on
the 2lst ult., at so many points, |
thought surely the predicted break in
the winter was ut hand, but in this l
was mistaken. The non arrival of
this thaw, however, is not a very seri-
Gus flaw in my general predictions, for
it Mas not a January thaw,' but a
February one thai | directed special
attention to. The fact is hat January
had been more severe than | had pre-
dieted. and the thaw has by this Sc
we're weather been crowded out of the
month. This really is the only no.
ticeable hitch which has yet occurred
this season in my almanac. Every
year | extect to have'record a miss or
two, particularly when | attempt such
detail as | have this winter. Surely
no one will bind me to the exact let
ter in such experiments as mine, and
when [ explain that my predictions
for this winter were penned and hand
cd to my publishers as long ago as Sep
TENDER last. Iii is thegeneral character
Of the winter / endeavor to sketch &C
%curately; and if the thaw yet arrives
and embraces a. considerable portion
Of February and is afterward followed
by another period of severe and wintry
weather toward and into March. |
will be perfectly satisfed-not with
myself, but with my almanac for
1881"
He also makes the following add
tiOnal guesses, as appears from the
Montreal Gazette of the Sd inst. Mr..
Vennor states that the entry Of FEB
Fuary of last year was fully as severe
as has been that of the present month,
and hat the December of 1879 was
much more severe than the December
Of this season. January of 1880, how
ever, was a mild month. and the very
opposite of January of 1881. Upon
the principle of general compensation
and from the fact of our having now
had in succession two months Of severe
weather, Mr.. Vennor is strongly of
the opinion that the present month
wall give US the thaw predicted in his
almanac. In this he alludes to a rapid
disappearance Of snow and sleigbing
over a very large area, and a return Of
winter and Of stormy weather toward
the latter portion of this month and
the fore part of March. He thinks
another blizzard and cold term will
travel over the United States shortly
after the entry Of March, and that de-.
%structive gales will visit New York,
Boston and other points during the
last quarter Of the present month"

Their Proper Ventilation and the
Eject On Their Occupants.

A physician was lately called to pre-
scribe for a young lady who Ii yes in
one of the most charming villas in
Learnedville.
Nothing the matter with her" she
declared, nothing but terrible head
aches. Every morning she walked with
a headache, and it lasted nearly half
the day. 1t had been going on for
months ever since they had moved
into their new house. The doctor
tried all the old remedies, and they all
failed. Riding and archery were
faithfully tested, study and practice
were ~cheerfully given up. Nothing
did any good.
will you let me see your BEDROOM
asked the doctor one day, and he was
shown up into the prettiest little nest
imaginable.
Nothing wrong about the ventila-
ton. The windows were high and
broad, and were left open every night,
the patient said. The bed stood in
one corner against the wall.
How do you sleepP' says the doc
tor.
"On my rightside, at the back Of IL 0
bed, with my face to the wall. Lou.
likes the front the best
THE dickens she does" says the
doctor. so do /. Will you do me
the favor to wheel that bed into the
middle of the room and sleep so for a
week? Then let me know about the
headache"
Doctors are so absurd The mid
die Of the room, indeed And there
we're the windows on one side, and
the doors on two other sides, aud the
mantel with It's Macrame %lambrequin
on the fourth side. There was no
place for the bed but just where it
stood in the corner.
Never mind Sacrifice your lam
brequin," urged the doctor, just for
a week, you know"
The lambrequin was sacrificed, the
bed moved where it had free air on
both sides, and the headaches disap-
peared.
1t may be only an exceptionally del
icate system that would be induced tC
actual headache by breathing all night
the reflected air FROM a wall. Yet
possibly some of the morning dullnesl
we know Of may be traceable to a like
cause. Atany rate, plenty o~fbreathiDg
space around a bed can Only be al
advantage to everybody.
In visiting three or four newly. bull
and beautiful houses recently, the lack
Of a good place for the bed was the
most striking feature Of the bed
rooms. Some of these rooms we're fin
ished in shining mahogany, ebony Q.
walnut. Some were hung with ricl
modern tapestry. All were elegan.
and a few we're airy. But in the mos
of them, where was the bed to stand.
A bay window, perhaps, would occupy
the middleof one side, another window
another, a door another, a mantel
piece another.

MEALS SERVED AT YOUR
HOUSE.
The Latest Solution of The Prob
lem of Rent and Domestic
Service.

New York SUM-
To persons Of moderate means de-
string to live comfortbly in the city,
there are often, if not always, two un-
solva BILE problems-house rent and do
nestle seryice-and many expedients
have been resorted to in efforts to
solve them. The result has been the
building of fats, the establishment Of
family hotels, the support Of many
restaurants, the success Of many lOdg.
Ing houses, and various other methods
Of evadiDg old~-fashioned housekeep-
ing. In spite of all these expenditures
there yet exists an unsupplied desire
for the comforts Of home. Rents are
so high, and good servants are SO
scarce, that very many are deferred
from keeping house for themselves.
Persons Of this class are constantly on
the lookout for some new solution Of
the problem. They transfer their Gus
tom IRON n restaurant TO another,
and from one hotel to another, ever
signing for something more like home.
They are always eager to seize upon
some new device to meet their wants.
A few years ago Professor Blot, an
enthusiastic French artist in cookery,
undertook to meet the palpable want
by supplying meals ready cooked,
served at private house at stated
hours. Somehow the professor failed.
There was a general agreement that
the plan was excellent. 1t saved house
rent, because the room occupied BY
kitchen and servants was saved. The
wages Of servants were saved, and the
bother Of preparing meals at home
was avoided. At the same time all
the privacy Of home was secured.
Although Prof. Blot failed in hii
attempt, the lesson Of his experiment
has not been lost. Other artists in
cookery have been trying it since with
more success, and now there r three
or four caterers who make it Their
business to supply families with meals
at their houses.
What is the usual price FOR serv.
ing meals at private houses one Of
the caterers was asked.
The lowest price is 81 per week
tor each person. two meals a day. This
includes At least two kinds " meat OF
poultry, entrees and dessert for dinner
with frequent changes in the bill Of
+. ire. If a lunch is required We serve
that with the ether meals for s. pei
week"
DO you cook special dishes when
required?'
Yes, a family can have food cooked
TO their taste. and on extra oce3sion
