Old Time Winters.


In 1864 the cold was so intense that the
Thames was covered with ice sixty-one
inches thick. Almost all the birds per-
ished
In 1892 the cold was so excessive, that
the famished wolves entered Vienna and at
tackled beasts and even men. Many peo-
pie in Germany were frozen to death in
1895, and 1899 was nearly as bad.
In 1909 occurred that famous winter
called, by distinction, the cold winter. All
the rivers and lakes we're frozen, and sven
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 thousands in
their houses. Tn the south of France the
wine plantations were almost destroyed, nor
have they yet recovered that fatal disaster.
The Adriatic sea was frozen, and even the
Mediterranean, about Genoa and the citron
and orange groves suffered extremely in the
finest parts Of Italy
In l716 the winter was SO intense that
people travelled across the straits from Co
penhagen to the province Of Senia, in Swe-
den.
In 1928. in Scotland, muItitu udes Of cattle
and shsep were buried in the snow. In
l74O the winter was scarcely inferior to that
Of 1903. The snow lay ten feet deep in
Spain and Portugal. The Zuyder Zee was
frozen over, and thousands of people went
o. it- All the lakes in England froze.
In l744 the winter was very cold. Snow
fell in Portugal to the depth Of twenty-thrse
feet on . level. g.. .'...... -.-'.. g..
In 1754 and 1855 the winters were very
severe and cold. In England, the strong
est ale, exposed to the air in glass, wa
covered with zee oue-eighth Of an inch thick
In 1771 the Elba was frosen to the bot
tom. FL .r
In 1776 the Danube bore ice five feet
deep below Vienna Vast numbers Of tht
feathered and finny tribes perlshed
The winters of 1774 and 1775 were un
commonly severe. The Little Belt wal

A Liverpool paper having Published
an account ofa visit to Mr.. Gladston's
house, the London Dasy Ne0s makes
the following comments: W
"The Premier will not grudge US the
peep at him in his private life. One
day we find him with his son and
hiss nephew busily engaged, by way OF
recreatiOa, IN catting down o beech tree
near Hagley that measured fourteen
feet in circumference. The process of
telling the great tree takes three days of
three hours each. Another day We
visit him at Hswarden in company with
the Archbishop Of syria and Tenos, and
we discover him in the act of saving
planks for 4 job of joiners' work which
he had undertaken and nearly finished.
Mr.. Gladstone has the reputation Of
being the hardest workingman in Eng
land. Few men can work as hard as
be, and still fewer can, in the same
amount Of time, accomplish as much I;
and we are assured that if he takes to
clearing wood or saving planks he will
do it with will. Even his amusements
viii be energetic, and he cannot be sur
prised at the curiosity of the people,
who IKE to see their great men at play
when they have thrown of their official
robes and airs and become ordinary
men. a-.. ...
Much Of statesman's popularity de-
pends on the ease with which he can
take us into his confdence-and, so to
speak, into his family. We seem to
know him and to like him better if we
can follow him like Lord Palmerston to
the hunting field or like Mr.. Bright to
a days fishing, or like Mr.. Gladstone
to boat Of wood cutting and joining.
This is indeed one Of the great sources
of pleasure which the English take in
political dinners. We like to see our
statesmen eating. 1t did one good to
see that wonderful old man, Lord
Pslmerston, eat with the zest Of an
Eton schoolboy. And so it did one
good to ace Sir Robert Peel bobbing in
bis saddle in Rotten row Perhaps it
may also do us good to see Mr..
Gladstone, after hard mornings work
over state papers, throw off the cares
of Office with his coat, and proceed to
WELD the axe, the saw, and the plane. !"
