Weather for December.

The mean temperature for the State
was slightly above the normal, and there
were no unusual extremes. The precipi-
tation, was half an inch less than the
December average, and its distribution
was comparatively uniform.
The maximum temperatures occurred
in all parts of the State on the first, and
were generally between 60 and 70 degrees.
The lowest temperatures were recorded
on various dates from the Sd to the. oath.
The mean monthly temperature was
above the normal at all but four stations.
Daily ranges were comparatively moder
ate.
General precipitation occurred on the
4th, 9Th, 11th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 18th and
30th, but the monthly average for the
State was less than three inches, and all
but ten stations report deficiency. The
even distribution of precipitation did
much to relieve the drought that pre-
vailed in September, October and No.
vember, though the water supply was
low in many sections at the close of the
month. The average snowfall, in its un-
melted form, was nearly ten inches,
there being fifteen inches or more in
some of the northern counties.
The prevailing direction of the wind
during the month was west. The great
est monthly wind movement recorded

off the top and bottom Of the onion,
quarter 1t, and the outside skin is
easily removed.
When starching holland pinafores, If
a little tea is put into the starch used
they will keep their color instead Of

If small quantity of cream turns
sour in the icebox, do not throw it out,

little glass Of buttermilk will be the
reward.
To clean kid shoes put in saucer a
half ounce of strong ammonia, dip in
