About three montlaa ago a strange young white girl named Xenia Pith*); eight. eon years of age, found. her. way to the tle- serve; and engaged with. Mre. Good as a ser: vent. Before the unfortunate girl had been with her new mistress many days she divulged the secret that She was ari esoaped prisoner, having worked her way out of Brampton jail where she was tnearcerated for six menthe on 4 (Marge of larceny of cer- talu articles. from her own home, shortly after her father's death, whieh articles it ap- peers, were previously claimed bysthe creith tors Of the deceased permit.

Unless a house is warthed through. out there should be . provision for shutting off the suppty and, letting: out the water which remains in the pipes. The waste pipes also need looking to, for whenever ..water freezes in a pipe' there will surely be a leak. Where water . pipes are in daily, use there is seldona Much hanger of freezing except during the night. Such pipes, where exposed, should be proteeted by wrapping ',with old carpet or foamed by .,n, bOx which may 'be filled with hieves.• If circumstances admit of A thewater may be allowed to run slowly daring 'cold. nights: Rats often cause much:trout:4eby, finetvitig lead pipes.
