THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY, MRS WI. FELTON,

Dear Mrs. FELTON,: If not asking
too much, l would be glad if you
would give your views through the
Semi-Weekly Journal of the great
comet and other wonders that were
seen in the elements just before the
Civil war. Your memory seems good
for one of your age. There was a
great deal said through the press
about what was seen at that time.
I'm an old veteran, enlisted in my
nineteenth year, in the spring of
1861, served to the end [ enjoy your
writings, especially on the war be-
tween the states. May you be spared
many more years is the wish of an
unknown friend. M. A. r.
My own memory is not clear as to
great comet just preceding the
Civil war. There was a reappear-
ance of Hadley's comet (I believe
l am right as to the name) about
the year 1840-maybe it was earlier.
I am not certain. L was born in
was also the time when a man
named Miller was very prominent
predicting the worlds coming to an
end. The people over the whole
United States were watching the
prediction-and when that wonderful
ing it's length over nearly half the
southern horizon, those who believed
with Miller went into serious hys-
terra They sold their lands and
personal property, prepared 'ascen-
sion robes" and had daily meetings
to preach and pray.
l remember distinctly the COM
motion in our section. Every clear
night the family went out to view
that powerful stranger in the sky. 1
got enough of the hysteria in my
own little frame to be aWfully
afraid of it. L had the idea it
would sooner or later make a dive
l would hide my face in my moth
er's dress skirts and shiver with
dread
Just before the Civil war I did
see a very peculiar occurrence. My
youngest child, Willie, his fathers
namesake, was exceedingly i'll. The
doctor was with us that night.
was bright with candles. Sometime
after midnight the doctor and my
husband were standing on the front
porch and I was the silent watcher
by the child near to death, as l
thought. All at once 1 heard a most
peculiar, deep whirring sound. Then
the room filled with a strong ghast-
many candles that were near me.
AS soon as they could the gentlemen
came to me and told me they saw
a globe Of clear crystalline radiance
pass over and the light was of dia-
mond 1uster, it was so piercing.
They watched it as it swiftly dis
appeared and then came tome to see
if the child had been disturbed. 1t
was singular thing, never explain
ed as I now reCOlleCt.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O THOMAS

be used to advantage There are
corners and shelves that need over
locking. Some people empty fruit
jars and dump them in the store
house unwashed. Reaches and ants
are drawn there and they soon
mands that the jars be filled with
water, as soon as emptied, then
washed and dried carefully 1t is
much easier TO wash one, two or
even three ut time, and set them
away in the box, or on the shelf the
fruit occupied than have to wash
and soak couple of dozen when
they are needed.
never saw many homes infested
with bedbugs, because I've been for
tunate enough to be among careful
people. But I've known nice people
ally filled, and then it takes at least
a year or more to get rid of them.
If they get into a wooden bedstead
or inside mattress, woe be unto
that housekeeper. 1 know one that
had such an experience and here is
her remedy:
Get the druggist to put as much
corrosive subllmate in a pint OF
spirits of turpentine as it will alb
sorb. Use an oil can. She bought
an engineers can and soaked the
cracks around the base board, the
WINDOW ana dOOrfaclng and the bed
stead. Then she saturated the mat
tress tick and was soon free of them
Th1s is deadly poison, but house
keepers should have sense enough to
take care Of such things, and motH
ers should train their children from
babyhood to let things alone.
The advantage in using corrosive
sublimate is that it soaks into the
cloth, or wood and it is seldom that
boys will harbor there any more.
For ants [ use stock dip. You can
take a tablespoonful and put it in
a quart of water, find the place that
the ants enter the house and paint it
thoroughly. Then where they make
their path along the floor and to the
safe or table and paint it with the
solution, and they are almost sure to
leave the house. The first time you
see one or two look for the line and
paint across it where it leaves this
wall, and then go to it's starting
place. If you cannot find that you
must paint the edges of the wall,
wherever they enter, and watch cars
fully to see if they find another en-
trance.
The neatest home sometimes gets
infested by the clothes from the
laundry, or a suitcase that has beers
lent out, or returned magazines. 1t
does not take long for them to null
tiply.
SO much has been said about house
teS that it SENS useless for me to
caution anyone about them. But
they are a nuisance that brings dis
ease as well as annoyance.
