Mild Winters.

y
This has been an unusual mild winter,
but the old weather reports show that
many have been still more unseasonable.
"In 117s the temperature was SO high
that leaves came out on the trees in Jan
uary, and birds Matched their broods in
February. In 1889 the Winter was equally
mild, and the maidens of Cologne wore
wreathes of violets and corn flowers at
Christmas and on Twelfth Day. In 1421
the trees fiowered in the month of March
and the vines in the month of April. Cher
ries ripened in the same month, and grapes
appeared in May. In 1879 the trees were
covered with leaves In the month OF
January, and the birds Matched young in
February, as in 1172; in 1885 the same
thing was repeated, and II is added that
the corn was in ear at Easter. There was
in France neither snow nor frost throughout
the Winters of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1917 and
1850 finally, in 1862, even in the north Of
Germany, the stoves were not lighted and
trees fiowercd In February. Coming down

An Indian once tried the soitness OF

Tho PerIlS OF Ice Water.

From The louisville CoufiefJ JonrnAl.
Tho high price Of ice this year has Gel
people to thinking, and many reasons arc
found why our beverages ought not Be
brought in contract with this deluaiye and
unreasonable luxury. An enterprisipg
reporter in cincinnati has been talking q
several dentists about tho effects Of iced
drinks upon the teeth and stomach, and
they have given him some facts, which
though not quite new, are interesting 81
this time. ass4st. s5-..s
The temperature Of the mouth, says
these gentlemen, 10 about 93 degrees
Fahrenheit; that ol ice 80 degrees. so
that when 0 drink Of Ice water is taken
there iS Q sudden change Of 60 degrees In
the mouths temperature. This rapid and
excessive variation causes contraction oI
the enamel Of the teeth, which Is brittle
and without elasticity, and the result 10 q
series Of fractures, which bring about de-
cay and invite diseases which Involve the
loss OF the teeth.
The most destructive change In the
temperature oi the mouth occurs when,
after partaking OF warm drinks that raise
II TO 40 degrees or 100 degrees, the per.
son with teeth attempts to "cool Off
with drink Of ice water. This makes
q variation Of from 130 degrees to 1853 de.
grees In the temperature, and the wonder
q that the outraged teeth do not leap
into the owners plate, and assume an In
ciBive attitude toward him.
The effect oi the water on the stomach
Is also said 10 be extremely injurious. Il
absorbs animal heat so rapidly ss TO In.
terfere with the circulation ol the blood,
and II arrests digestion. Dyspepsia, con-
sumption and diseases ol the liver and
bowels are brought about by its careless
use, and there seems TO be no end 10 the
train Of evils accompanying II.
II the public generally could be made
10 fully understand oil these bad effects
olice-WRter, 1t Is probable that the offices
OF the ice companies would be surround.

ardor the contents Of 1000 icc.houses
could not cool. Here an aged aunt would

struck nephew, and there airAndc mother
would cry out against the plate Of ice
cream that had destroyed the stomach oil
her little John Henry, now an angel.
ToothlesS young women would join In the
outcries As best they could, and all female
nature would be aroused against the de.
stroyer.
The dentists say that ice is only q ne
cessity where food must be preserved, and
that cool water and cold black tea are the
only trustworthy quenchers Of the thirst
that RACES In the summer months. But
people will not learn this any moro than
they will learn other facts concerning
their health. Alcoholic drinks, tobacco
and other luxuries may be abandoned In
time, but perspiripg America will never
give up her ice water.
