Hints for the Household.

Some one has been kind enough to
send us of late newspapers containing
TENS relating to household affairs. One

accustomed to, or desire, and some of the

THE SAFEST SEAT. The frequency

The SAFEST SEAT. The frequency of
collisions on railroads has raised the ques-
ton, which is the place of greatest securi-
ty in a railroad train? The Railroad
Journal gives the following as an answer ::
1t is very wei! known that the car nearest
the engine is exposed to the least dust,
and that the rear car of train is gen
orally safer than the front car. The
safest is probably the last car but one, in
a train of more than two cars that is,
there are fewer chances of accidents to
this than any other. If it is way train
at moderate speed or any train standing
still, a collision is possible from another
train in the rear in which the last car re-
ceives the first shock. Again, the engine
and the front cars of a train will often
run over broken rail, or 4 COW, or stone,
without detriment, while the last car
having nothing to draw it into the line of
the train, is free to leave the track. Next
to the forward car the rear car is pro-
badly the most unsafe in the train. The
safest seat is probably near the center Of
the last car but one, and in a very long
train, in the centers of the last two or
three cars next to the last

Our opinion, and also that of the prin-

the Jersey commonly called Alderney, is
above all others the best COW. They are
easily kept, very docile-a point not to
be overlooked and beautiful; give milk
of superior richness, from which is pro-
duced finely colored, solid butter, having
an equal texture and flavor. Butter

The Ship OF the Future.

The following appears in the London

very heavy guns, which he considered to
be far superior to iron clads.

1t is a curious coincidence that this
should appear just as Congress is engaged
in considering the recommendations of
the Naval Advisory Board for building
fast, light ships, armored only at vital
points. Punch's rhyme, though intended
in iocular way, is really an Indication of

teakettle qualities. Whether the very
conservative authorities will heed the

Curious Electrical Phenomena.

A correspondent of Nature, writing
from Sayoch, Aberdeenshire, tells of a
curious incident which re emily befel
him. "On February, 18Th" he says,
''this part of Scotland was visited by
a furious gale of wind, rain, sleet and
hail. Near the end OF the storm l was
startled by a vivid flash of lightning
close at hand, but without thunder.
At the came instant | found myself
enveloped in a she t of pale hicke. ing
white light. 1t seemed to proceed
from every part of my clothes, espe-
eially on the side least exposed to the
hail, and more particularly and
brightly from my arm, shoulder and
head. Though L turned about pretty
smartly and shifted my position, l
found it impossible to shake off the
lickering flames | felt no unusual
sensation beyond the singing OF the
hail, and no sound except that of the
storm. / have puzzled myself to &C
count for the strange phenomenon,
and can only imagine it TO have been
a peculiar manifestation of st. Elmo's
fire, SO well known TO sailors during
thunder storms within the tropics"
Another correspondent relates a
somewhat sigilar experience. Two
men on a dark night were climbing a
rocky, heathery height in Rsnnock,
and were all at once set on flames by
some mysterious fire, which appeared
to proceed from the heather, which
they were travsrsing. The more they
tried to rub the flames off the more
tenaciously they seemed to adhere,
and the more the fire increased in
brightness ard magnitude. Moreover,
the long heather, agitsted by their
feet, emitted streams of burning vapor
and for he Space of a few minutes they
were in the greatest CONSERVATION.
They believed that they barely escaped
a living cremation. Without doubt
the OBJECT OF their sear was st. Elmo's
fire.
