The wHIsxEY rRADE.-Bul few persons have a
correct view of the amount of Whiskey annually
consumed in this city in the manufactures Of Domes
tic Liquors, Alcohol, Burning Fluid, ssc.,&c. There
are four Distillefies in the immediate vicinity ofhs
city, which consume about 100000 bushels of Corn
and Rye yearly and produce ,050,000 gallons Of
Whskey, valued at $275,000. The following are
the names of the prOpristors: Alexander Young,
Samuel Smith, Powers & Weightman, and j. K.
Tyson. These works are all driven by steam, and
consume 5000 tons Of coal annually. They employ
from seventy 10 eighty workmen, and the amount
of pital invested cannot be less than halfa million
Of dollars. Besides this amount there was received
last year by the Columbia Railroad 562 1926 gallons
and by The Delaware canal ,432, 81 5gallons, which
added to the amount manufactured by the city dis
teres make 3.045, GAO gallons equal to about :
52l barrels. 10 this we must add considerable
amount received annually by the Schuylkll and
Tidewater Canal, and New York, which would
swell the the tots amount to l25 900 barrels.

| COLD WINTERS IN oLpEN TIMEs.-ln 1904 the
cold was So intense that the Thames was covered
with ice sixty-one inches thick. Almost all the
birds pershed.
! In 1851 the cold was 50 excessive that The fam
ished wolves entered Vienna and attacked beasts
and even men. Many people in Germany were
frozen to death in 1896, and the winters of 1857
and 1899, were nearly as bad.
| In 1909 occurred that famous winter called, by
distinction, "the cold winter" All the rivers and
lakes were frozen, and even the sea for several
miles from the shore. The ground was frozen nine
feet deep. Birds and beasts were struck dead in
the fields, and men pershed by thousands in their
houses. In the south Of France the vine plantations
almost all destroyed nor have they yet recov-
cred from that fatal disaster. The Adriatc sea was
frozen, and even the Mediterranean about Genoa,
and the citron and orange groves suffered extreme
ly in the finest parts Of Italy.
In l7l6 the winter was SO intense that people
travelled across the straits from Copenhagen To the
province of Senia, in Sweden.
In 1929, in Scotland, muiitudes of cattle and
sheep were buried in the snow.
In 1890 the winter was scarcely inferior TO that
of 1909. The snow laid ten feet deep in Spain and
Portugal. The Zuyder Zee was frozen over. and
thousands Of people went over it. And the lakes
in England froze.
In l744, the winter was extremely cold. Snow
fell in Portugal to the depth Of twenty three feet
on level.
In l754 and 1856 the winters were very severe
and cold. In England, the strongest ale, exposed
to the air in glass, was covered in fifteen minutes
with ice one-eighth of an inch thick.
in l77i the Elbe was frozen TO the bottom.
In l776 the Danube bore ice five feet deep be-
low Vienna. Vast numbers Of the feathered and
fn9S tribes nerisb4Gi! DO. :, ,7os s-..
The winters of 1854 and 1855 were uncommon
ly severe. The Little Belt was frozen over.
From 1900 to 1912 also, the winters were re-
markaby cold, particularly the latter, in Russia,
which proved so disastrous to the French army un-
der Napoleon.

attentive observations of the teeth for several years.
it has been ascersined that the use of dentiicss.
containing camphor, renders them brittle. Teeth
allowed to remain in chalk impregnated with tho
camphor, for few days, had the enamel very much
altered; placed in camphoaled spirit they become
very brittle and if exposed to the fumes of camphoI,
morbid condition to still greater extent super
vened. A writer in the London Lancet states, that

THF CHILD AT THE FOUNTAIN.

IhF CHILD AT TIE FOUNTAIN.
by The AIDE Of sparkling fountain
a lovely infant stood,
Whoe golden bowl was holding
In careless merry mood
Dipping II oft in the waters,
And drainingtl in mirth;
FOR the lount was mortal fountain.
And the child was chiid Of earth.
The Sun from his azure pathway
STOPPED into the waters low,
And wove with Its snowy spray-wren,hs
a Beautiful his bow
While flowers grew up by the fountain
Oievery radiant hue,
Which the infant gathered gailv,
And up 10 the rainbow threw,
Laughing ~ ever vainly
tie looked to see them there,
But snw Them fall To the waters.
Or lodge in his Sonny hair.
So dayunto day succeeded
And the heppy one was bles,.
Asmeriment was near him,
Or lei; him unto rest
But cloud came ever the sunlight,
And the Iris Bow was din, =,
And the voice of the darkened fouutnir
Became pensive hymn.
Then the inanfseye grew fearful,
And he laid his weary head
0nthe iuiied emerald margin
That OF had been his bed
And looking through iears above HIN,
lie caught through the parted cloud
\ glimpse Of the brilliant rainbow,
And beneath it an infant crowd,
Who around a throne were gathered,
Ench bowling It's little head,
And receiving a crown of blessing
From a head that once had bIed
Sweet streams Of music tuaicd
From the anthem which they sung,
An anthem they were learning
In new celestial tongue.
The infant heard with rapture,
And ionged 20 flee away,
But silyercord was round him.
Still binding him to Clay
Then with his efforts weary,
No more he lunged TO drink,
And his golden bowl had fallen
Over the walers brink
BY the troubled waves twas broken.
And sunk IN the signing deep
And nc child, still upward gazing.
Had gone 10 his final sleep:
For an angel came from Glory,
To sever the silver cord,
And bear ;he infant sleeper
To he bosom Of h!s Lord
