Brandt, announced to take place at Vir-

until Monday evening next. The inclement
weather has made this course necessary.
1t will be remembered that Miss Brandt's
first concert was a financial failure, in con-
sequence of the bad weather which pre-
vailed at the time. 1t is to be hoped she
may have better luck on Monday.

Using Agency, engage to advertise in

better and cheaper mode than they can
do it themselves. This we sincerely be-

because of their intimate and confidential

spend ten thousand dollars in general adj

Years Of Cold In Europe.

The recent severe cold weather il
Europe has called forth the following
facts, which appeared in the journal deI
DebatS.;
In $50 A. D., the Euxine WIS frozen
over.
In sos the rivers of England were
frozen over for two months.
In 558 the Black Sea was covered with
ice for 20 days, and in 1853 the ice was SO
feet thick.
In S21 the Elbe, the Danube, and the
Seine were frozen during four weeks.
In 1923 the Mediterranean was entirely
frozen.
In 1405 Tamerlane made an incursion
into China, and lost his men, horses,
and camels by the excessive cold.
In 1920 Paris experienced so great cold
that the city was depopulated, and ami
mails fed on corpses in the street.
In l443, at Paris, snow fell during
forty days and forty nights necessarily.
In 1863, in France and Germany, wine
was frozen so hard that it was cut in
blocks and sold by weight.
In 1910 the intense cold lasted three
months, and all the fruit trees of Prov
ence and Languedoc were destroyed.
In 1907 provisions and fuel became so
scarce on account of cold in Paris that q
small bundle Of kindling-brush cost 40
cents. The cattle froze in their stalls,
and the Seine could be crossed by heavy
carts.
The year 1909 was one of intense cold
all over Europe, and mass could not be
said for many weeks in certain provinces,
because the wine could not be kept in a
fluid state.
In 1875, in Chinese Tartary, the Their
mometer fell ninety.seven degrees below
zero-Fahrenhelt.
17f0 was winter of such rigor in
Russia that the ice palace was construct
ed at ST. Petersburg 81 feet long and II
feet wide. Six ice cannon were mounted
on the walls, and two mortars for bombs.
The cannon held balls of six pounds
weight, were charged with powder, and
discharged, so that the ball pierced a
board two inches thick at distance of
GO feet. The cannon did not burst. It's
walls were less than ten inches in thick
ness.
1865 was year of intense cold, also
1888. Since that year the cold has never
been as great in Paris until last year,
when, for the first time in o century
Jack Frost came again to the tune of 81
below zero centigrade.

In HIS Prison. About two months
ago, says a writer, DR.. Jacob Rosenz-

he was almost the first person I met.
He is employed in the dining-room and
has charge of seven or eight tables at
which the prisoners eat. OF course he
wears the convict's attire and is obliged
to have his face shaver perfectly clean

A Poem by Whittier.

For weeks the clouds had raked tho hills
And vexed the wales with raining,
And all the woods were sad with mist,
And all the brooks complaining.
AT last q sudden nght-storm tore
The mountain wells asundcr,
And swept the valleys clean before
The bosom of the thunder.
Through Sandwich notch the west-wnd sant
Good morrow to the cotter
And once again Chocorua's horn
or shadow pierced the water
Above his broad lake 0ssipee,
Once more the sunshine wearing,
STOPPED, tracing on that silver shield
His grim armorial bearing.
Clear drawn against the hard blue sky
The peaks had winters keenness
And, close on autumn's FROST the wales
Had more than June's fresh greenness.
Again the sodden forest floors
With golden lights were chcckored,
Olce more rejoicing leaves in wind
And sunshine danced and tlickered.
1t was as il the summers late
Atoning for its sadness
Ha borrowed every seasons charm
To end its days in gladncss.

DYsPEPsIA.--If o man wishes to get
rid of dyspepsia, he must give his stom-
ach and brain less to do. 1t will be of
no service for him to follow any particu-
lar regimen-to live on chaff bread, or
any such stuff to weigh his food, ETC.,
so long as the brain is in constant state
of excitement. Let that have proper
rest, and the stomach will perform its
functions.
But if he pass IA or Is hours day in
his Office or counting room, and take no
exercise, his stomach will inevitably
become paralyzed, and if he put nothing
into it but cracker day, it will not
digest it. In many cases it is the brain
that is the primary cause. Give that
delicate organ some rest. Leave your
business behind you when you go to
your home.
Do not sit down to your dinner with
your brows knit and your mind absorbed
in casting up interest accounts. Never
abridge the usual hours of sleep. Take
more or less exercise in the open air
every day. Allow yourself some inno-
cent recreation Eat moderately, slow
ly, and of what you please, provided it
be not the shovel and tongs. If any
particular dish disagrees with You, how
ever, never touch or look it. Do not
imagine that you must live on rye bread
or eat oatmeal poridge a reasonable
quantity OF nutritious food is essential
to the mind as well as the body. Above
all, Danish all thoughts of the subject.
If you have any treatises on dyspepsia,
domestic medicine, etc, put them directly
into the fire.
If you are constantly thinking and
talking about dyspepsia, you will surely
have it. Endeavor to forget that you
have a stomach. Keepa clear conscience;
live temporarily, regularly, clearly, be
Industrious, too, but be temperate.

LABOR IN CHICAGO. The following has
been issued by Mr.. N, X. Fairbanks,
Chairman of the Employment Commit
tee of Chicago. Mechanics and laborers
in various parts of the country are max
ing o great mistake in coming to this
city in search of work. The supply of
labor Of all sorts is far in excess Of the
demand, and will be for two months to
come, What building is going on is
done slowly, and depends on the wealth.
er, which is too severe for outdoor work,
while the real advance in building will
be delayed until Spring. Working men
not understanding this are pouring in
from all parts, spending their last dol
lar to get here, and then appealing to
the Relief Committee for aid when they
find there is no work to be had. Those
journals which are urging these people
to come here at this season are unin-
tentionally doing cruel wrong, and add
ing to city already over burdeped with
the destitute.

LEAP YEAR.-As probably not few of
our young readers are ignorant of the sig
nifcance of the term leap year, few
words on the subject will be in place. A
year consists of 365 days. and 6 hours, or
the quarter of a day, and to keep this
fraction of year from deranging our
present division of time, every fourth
year day is added to the calendar, Civ
ing us year of 3G6 days. 1t is called
Leap year because the waning hours
leap from-aid to make full day, and
are added to February because this is the
shortest month in the season. The re-
turn of leap year may be determined by
dividing the year by four, and when it
leaves no remainder Leap Year is upon
us. The months have not all an equal
number of days, and to enable people to
remember them as the months come and
go, forms in verse have been devised and
taught in schools to aid memory. Tradi-
ton says the ladies have q right every
leap year to select from the opposite sex
just such man, If they can find him, as
they may of all Others choose for hus-
band.
