Weather Prognostications. Flurries of ice in the Congres- sional districts on or about the cighth of the month, and consid- erable demand for heavy zeph- yrs in Afghan countries, Con siderable dampness at Niagara Falls and vicinity, followed by heavy clearing on the Stock Ex- changes from Wall Street as far avest as San Francisco. Now. THE turkey, truly bright, Tries to curb his appetite, For he knows Thanksgiving Day "S$ on the way, When his brother that is fat Will be found a-lying flat, With his neck all nicely ruffed, And his bulging stomach stuffed Full of chestnuts and of bread, That the thankful may be fed. Now the birdies and the tramps Strike their Northern summer camps And skip off to Floridee, Where there're leaves upon the tree And a warm spot in the sun For the worn and weary one, And no thoughts of pressing work Ever lurk. Nature takes her paint pot out And goes sloshing all about, Till the prospect straight ahead Is a mass of flaring red; tes on the Above Dates. HESE dates, while not moth-proof, are as nearly so as modern science will permit. Should moths appear on opening the package, sprinkle with camphor. Private advices from Washington enable us to assure our patrons that Thursday, the twenty-fourth, will be a Thanksgiving Day, although the President himself is yet to be heard from on the subject. Should little white specks, moist to the touch, appear in any of the above days, patrons need not be solicitous on that account. They are not due to im- perfections in the dates themselves, but rather to the prevalence of snow in the air. Consumers of this almanac living in northern latitudes will find these dates more comfortable if in handling them they will take pains to wear a heavier quality of underelothing than that worn in July and somewhat August. Candidates are warned to handle the first Tuesday after the first Monday with con- siderable care, as otherwise it may turn out to be disappointing. The dates imme- diately prior thereto were best used for silent meditation, Owing to the limited number of Sundays in this package, the managers bave ar- ranged to make Thanksgiving Day an ap- propriate date for church-goers, and it may therefore be appropriately used in lieu of the usual fifth Sunday of the month.

Seasonable Suggestions. HE HANDLE of the lawn-mower may now safely be removed and used as a substitute for the pusher on the baby car- riage. Before it is removed, however, one final dash with the mower in the lawn Mara- thon over the grass will do no harm, serv- ing to batten down the hatchways of the ant hills against the coming storms of winter, To be humane is all well enough, but none the less the cautious farmer will hesi- — ‘* Some class to Miss Snail.'" Mottoes of the Month. Beds of a feather flock to gether. Wt"s an ill cind that brows Smashing heads and smashing legs, Like a lot of scrambled eggs, As they writhe and squirm and roll On toward the waiting goal; While the blue-eyed maiden cheers Every time they lose their ears, Or with dull and sick’ning thud With their noses plow the mud. Now the candidate who wins Sports an endless stock of grins, And has scarce sufficient vest For to cover up his chest; While that other little group That has landed in the soup Speak of modern polities As a mass of shady tricks And improbity, wherein Honest men can never win— All of which is but the sign That we've reached the month divine, Full of health and cheer and love, That's abbreviated Nov. tate before removing the hornets’ nest from under the lilac bush and hanging it in the kitchen pantry. An act of this sort, while kindly in intent, is apt to result in an over- heated house, which is bad for the health. The safest method for the protection of your hornets through the cold weather is to catch them individually and place them in bottles, well corked, and set in a warm spot. In very cold districts watch your firewood carefully before placing it in your study wood basket. Nature's scheme of protect- ive coloring has sometimes resulted in a man’s gathering a cord of frozen rattle- snakes under the impression that it was all faggot wood, with deafening results after the thaw. If, after paying the bills for your family’s sojourn at the mountains or down by the seashore in July last, there is any money left, you will do well to do your Christmas shopping now, when the warm blood of generosity has not begun to burn as fever- ishly in your veins as it will later, when the holiday spirit is abroad. Wool farmers should shear their sheep at least before the middle of the month, but cultivators of fur-bearing animals will keep their product on the hoof fora brief time longer. Seals especially should not be skinned at this season of the year, except in fulfillment of a direct order to ship the same C. O. D. comicbooks;com
