UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAkES.

l suppose many of you have heard someone say: The winters are nothing now compared to what they were when was a boy!"
 l suppose there is a great variety of winters and it may be barely pos sible there never were two winters exactly alike in any part of the earth.
 Uncle Jed does not think the differ ence in the intensity of winters has much in them to warrant the opinion that the climate here in New England is changing.
 The winters when Long Island sound was frozen over and teams crossed on the ice are SC far apart that they are long talked about before they re- cur again. The same may be said of shirt sleeves weather in January, or planting weather in March.
 There are years when there is a frost in every month. and these are quite common; but the year when blowing can be done in every month are far apart and uncommon.
 New England has known such a thing as a snow squall in July and 8 thundershower in December.
 Most of us have forgotten by this time that ice made on the night of the 9th of June and the 14th of Sep

Her Trip to New York.

Dear Uncle Jed: am going to tell you of my trip to New York It was Friday at S-30 D. m- we started for the depot to take the train At last we got there. Our friends were all glad to see us. We had lovely meal, then we went to Madison Square Garden and Central Park. We had candy and lovely time.
 When we came back to the house it was decorated all over.
 In the next room I saw a big doll on the chair with black curls, silk dress. white slippers and stockings Shs certainly looked beautiful The tabls was decorated and a beautiful birthday cake was on it We had candy, soda chocolates. bananas and oranges
 It was 0.3o when the children got out and thanked me and said they had very nice time
 Two weeks passed and it was tirna for me to go home. We said goodbye and thanked Auntie and started
 When we got home I told my friends what a good time I had. 1 showed them my doll and liked it very much certainly had fine trip and was very happy when I came home.

Old Ironsides.

Dear Uncle Jed: The Constitution. better known as Old Ironsides, was one of the strongest and most powerful vessels used against England during the war of 1872
 It did not get it's name because it was built with iron, of which 1t was entirely void. but because it was so tough and srtong.
 Old Ironsides. under the command of Captain Hull, met the British Guierre near the coast of Nova Scotia, where a hard fought battle took place, Aug 19, 1872
 The British vessel was completely overwhelmed by the superior gunnery and handling of the American vessel and after being struck several times sunk. and Captain Hull took his pris- oners to Faneiul hall, Philadelphia, where they had great feast, and con gress awarded a gold medal and $50, ,000 in prize money to Captain Hull and his men.
 An article in one of the London papers before the battle said "Oio lronsides was nothing but bundle of pine boards but they soon found their mistake.
 In later years the Constitution was taken to North Carolina and there eV- erything was taken from it's deck.
 A beautiful poem was written about this historic old ship, which was, and is now, the pride of the American navy

Mi.ohievous EIossie.

Dear Uncle Jed: My pet kitten is almost ten months old. and IS good size for her age. She was given to me last April for a present from my cousin. She is all white except two large black spots on her sides and a yellow one on her tail and head
 Every morning at half past seven she runs in my room and wakes me up for school. She would not let any one feed her except me. Her name is Fiossie. and I call her Floss for a short name.
 Sometimes she is naughty, but don't think she means to be for she is only little kitten.
 One day was knitting hat for my doll I left the wool on the table and as soon as I left the room Miss Floss Jumped on the table, bit the wool to pieces and tore 1t with her claws till 1t looked as if it had been cut and rolled in the mud.
 l whipped her little. but is seemed of no use.
 I will write you sometime more of her mischisvcus little tricks,
 I think l shall give her a second name, for F1ossie seems to be too lit Ile a name for such & mischievous kitten.

 have sometimes thought the req son men are inclined to the conviction lat the winters when they were boys ere the worst ever for deep snows
 because then they had little eyes Ind shor- legs-rhey couldn't see over a snowbanlz so well or so readily wade through one.
 Everybody seems to have poor memory When II comes to. climatic conditions or the state of the weather. It is quite common to hear folks say: II never saw such a uay as this at the same tune of year, and then some one will ba found who, can mention several such days within a few years.
 We are especially fortunate here i'll the southern end of the Quineoaug valley where ueep snews are quite rare because we get warm winter sun. ln must of New England there is plenty of sleighing and sndlng every Year.

The poor peasants ran around WI1ng- ing their hands and weeping over their lost homes and the bones oI the burned cattle. One poor man was in greater trouble than ms neIgnbors even. True, his home and cows were gone; but so also was his son, bright boy or SIX or seven years.
 He wepL and refused to hear any words uI comfort. He spent the night wandering sorrowfuly among the ruins while his acQuaintances mad taken refuge in the neignborlng vil- lages.
 Just as daylight came, however, he heard a well known sound and, looking up, he saw his fsvorlte COW leading the herd, and coming directly after them was his bright-eyed ntue boy.

 Why, yes, father! When l saw the fire 1 ran to ;r our cows away to the pasture land.

Invitations to a St. Valentines Day party seem to be in the most correct form written on the backs Of heart shaped VaIentneS; put Wno wants to be correct at the expense or being original so any number or ingenlouS forms of invitations are devised by the clever.
 The only real requirement. is that they be appropriate.

Small sugar CupldS come ready to be placed on the icing Of small cakes. Gilt arrows and all sorts of table accessories quite appropriate can be had at reasonable prlces-and don't forget the heart shaped pepper hints.
 For the young people there are all sorts of games. One of the fortune telling games requires envelopes to be hidden, although tied at the end of a long string, and the other end of the string to contain an arrow. The ar row ends are all brought to one place and each lad and lassie selects one, and then the fun Of seeking their for tunes begins. Often the threads of two become entangled in the chase, and the progress of uh search has to be stopped till they are strengthened out. The envelopes can be numbered and the progress or the search has to numbers on theirs can be partners in other games or go to supper together.
 For the "old' married folks a rem iniscence party furnishes most fun.
