that friend Browns theory and facts do

COLD WINTERS.

In 1864 the cold vas so ihtens. Cha
the Thames was covere d with ice sixsr-
one inches thick. Almo Il NIL the birds
perished.
In 1861 the cold was so xeessiys thas
the famished wolves entered ljeuna aHI
attacked beasts and even men.
Many people in Germany were frozen
to death in 1894, and the winters Of 1897
and 1899 were nearly as bad.
In 1909 occurred that famous winter
known as the cold winter, by distinction.
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 perished by thous-
ands in their houses. In the south of
France, the wine plantations were almost
all destroyed, nor have they yet recovered
that fatal disaster. The Arabic sea was
frozen over and even the Mediterranean.
In 17l6 the winter was so intense that
people travelled across the straits from
Copenhagen to the province of Senia in
Sweden.
In 1899, in Scotland, multitudes of
cattle and sheep were buried in the snow.
In l740, the wifter was scarcely in
ferior to that Of 1909. The snow lay
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 were frozen.
In l744, the winter was very cold.
Snow fell in Portugal to the depth of 23
feet on level.
In 1854 and 1855 the winters were
very severe and cold. In England, the
strongest ale, exposed to the air in a
glass, was covered in fifteen minutes
with ice one-eighth of an inch thick.
In It'll the Elbe was frozen to the bot
tom.
In l776 the ice in the Danube was FIVE
feet thick below Vienna. Vast numbers
of feathered and finny tribes perished.
The winters of 1784-5 were uncomon-
ly severe. The little Belt was entirely
frozen over.
From 1900 to 1919, also, the winters
were remarkably cold, particularly the
latter. in Russia, which proved so disas-
trous to the French army.-CkTeland

TAPE W0RM-sWINE FLESH.

The origin of this ugly occupant of the
human stomach, is treated upon in the
Paris Gazette Mediclc. The Hebrews,
who never eat pork, are never troubled
with 1.-THE pork butchers are very liable
to it-dogs fed on pork have it. These
are facts alleged by the Gazette. Then
it shows that a small parasite worm called
crystecersos which affects pork, no sooner
reaches the stomach than, from change
of diet and position. it turns into the
tape worm. 1t is said that experiments
upon a condemned criminal established
this fact beyond all doubt. We fully be-
lieye this statement Of facts. and are con-
fident that the divine injunction forbid
ding the use Of pork to the Hebrews was
founded in wisdom and upon humane
considerations, the use ofpork producing
many of the diseases common in our
country.
We notice that the Ohio Farmer COM
bats the above statement and says, that
the common rabbit is infected with the
tape worm but "not an (a?) crystecer-
sas." This fact he gets from tho state
ments of an English author, and his own
observations on rabbits and dogs. Now,
friend Browns statements does not effect
the truth of the above theory nor stand
against the facts addicted; then the fact
of his rabbit and dog worms. not being
from the crysteeersas may establish his
theory, but does not lie against the other,
His dogs. "guiltless Of pork eating, /"
would bo pretty hard to find. especially
would such "guiltlessness." be hard to

MY SISTER NELLIE.
A TRUE STORY OF THE HEART.

We were poor people, reader, but our
parents always said they were rich in
Nellie and me. We lived in a little ga
bic rooted cottage, with grey chimney
crowning it. Morning glories and sweet
briar looked in at all the front windows,
while great grapevine, with its purple
clusters, just out of reach of my hand,
hugged the back wall of the house.

rich but once, and that was when over
heard mamma and papa saying how much
it cost to send sister Nellie to school, for
she was great scholar.
She was very beautiful, that sister of
mine. She stands before me now, SO fair
and lifelike, though it is seven long years
since the grass first grew green over the
white hands they folded on her bosom
when she lay down under the willow to
sleep. / have never seen anything like
the color of her eyes, unless it be the
brown burrows which sometimes lie heap
ed up in belt of far off sky just at twi-
Light ; and sometimes a sunbeam strays
over the half ripened side of peach, and
then whisper to myself, This is like
Aellie's cheek"
Have you ercr seen water lilies lean
over the waves, reader, to catch a glimpse
Of the beauty mirrNsed there? Well,
just SO fair and fragile in the sculpture
like delicacy of its proportions was the
form of my sister Nellie.
Let me see, it must be eight years this
very month since the occurrence of that
very event which braided such bright
flowers of hope and love in the life warp
OF my Nellie. Oh, such dark clouds
such black. surging pillows! She had
gone OUT to walk, for she was very fond of
solitary pedestrian excursions. The day

suddenly, and quick footballs along the

was loud imperative knock at the front
door. Mamma opened it. then staggered
back with very pale cheeks at the sight
it revealed.
Nellie was lying, white and deathlike,
in the arms of young gentleman, her
long nut brown curls floating away from
the pallor of her cheeks, and well-nigh
sweeping tie ground.
No. madam, your daughter is not
