Europe,

Some Remarkably Cold winters in
Europe,
In the year 401 it is said the Black
Sea was entirely frozen over. In 1853
not only the Black Sea, but the Straits
of Dardanelles were frozen over, the
snow in some places rose fifty feet
high. In 1922 the great rivers of Eu-
ro' = ne Danube and Elbe, etc., were
fro4on' so hard as to bear heavy wag-
ons for a month. In $50 the Adriatic
was frozen, In 991 everything was
frozen, the crops totally failed, and
famine and pestilence closed the year
In 1867 most of the travellers in Ger.
many were frozen to death on the
roads. In 1134 the Pc was frozen from
Cremona to the sea; the wine sacks
were burst and the trees split by the
action of the frost, with immense
noise, In 1896 the Danube was frozen
to the bottom, and remained long in
that state, In 1916 the crops wholly
failed IN Germany; wheat, which
some years before sold in England at
6s the quarter, rose to e.. In 1908 the
crops failed in Scotland, and such q
famine ensued that the poor were re-
duced to feed on grass, and many
perished miserably in the fields, The
successive winters of 1432-3.4 were
uncommonly severe. In 1888 tho wine
distributed to the soldiers was cut
with hatchets.-In 1858 it was exces.
sively cold. Most of the hollics were
KILLED. Coaches drove along the
Thames, the ice of which was eleven
inches thick In 1T00 occurred thf
cold winter; the frost penetrated the
earth three yards in the ground Ii
1716 booths were erected on the
Thames. In 1744 and 1745 the strong
est ale in England exposed to the air
was covered in less than fifteen min
utes with ice an eighth of an incl
thick. In 1909 and again in 1912 thu
winters were remarkably cold Ii
1914 there was IA fair on the frozel
Thames.

John Mitchell and the EnsIish Par
Lament.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-John Mitchell,
M. P. elect delivered lecture at Cork
last night before large audience. Dur
ing his remarks he said that the had
never made peace with England, and
considered this his greatest recon-
mendation for the suffrages of his con
stituents.
In the House, of Commons yester.
day, the venerable John Martin, NJ. p.
for Westmeath, and, like Mitchell, Il
prominent '4S man, asked to be allow
ed to produce documents showing that
the jury which convicted Mitchell wa.
packed. The permission to produce
the papers was refused.

In Japan they have been discussing the
woman's rights question. The Japan Mail,
reviewing japanese work on the subject,
has the following: "If we look into the
theories of Europeans, it would appear
that the possession of equal power by hus-
band and wife is based on natural reason.
But if we observe the practice of Europe
ans, it would appear that the power of the
wife is greater than that of the husband,
and that this error has been brought about
by the want of correct view of the dictates
of nature We will point out examples of
this. In going through door the wife
passes first and the husband follows her !;
the wife takes the best seat and the hus-
band the next best; in visiting, the wife is
first saluted; in forms of address, the wife
is first mentioned. Moreover, while men
are in the company of ladies they must be
particular in their conversation, and are
not permitted to smoke without the ladies'
permission being first obtained. These and
like customs are innumerabe, and the
power of the women is far greater than that
of the men,"

Ro ADsIDE WEEDs.-A correspondent of
the Boston Cultivator, writing evidently
from a personal experience Of the evils
arising from the dissemination OF the seeds
of weeds allowed TO grow by the roadside,
makes the following suggestion:
sit seems 10 me that the farmers of Mass
achusetts have a right to complain that
their interests are not properly regarded
by the lawmakers. In New York there
is law requiring the road-masters to cut
weed s growing in the highways twice du-
ring the growing season. In Pennsy.va-
mia man who allows ox-eye daisies to go
to seed, even OH bis own farm, is liable to
prose cution and fine. In Ohio the Leg
islature passed law last spring, requiring
the officers who have charge of the roads to
cut all weeds and briers growing in the
public ways. 1t seems 10 me that Massa-
chusetts needs such law as much as any
other State, and that her law makers ought,
at their next session, to take the matter in
hand. Many farmers are sent TO the Leg
islature, and they ought TO look out for the
agricultural interests. have written on
the assumption that there is no such law as
have suggested. 1 do not know that one
ever was passed. Certainly no such law
has been enforced. The farmers should
demand such law and see that it is en-
forced" Ditto for Vermont.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The
Northern Pacific railroad is at last put up
on a sound financial basis. The holders of
the first mortgage bonds have foreclosed
their mortgage, and the stock will be wiped
out. Tho operation is scarcely more than
mere formality, as the stock never had
any real value, and the road has been built
and managed by the bondholders. 1t is
proposed to turn all the bonded and other
Indebtedness into preferred stock, $1,000 in
first mortgage bonds to entitle the holder
to $l400 in preferred stock. The whole
amount of preferred stock is to be SOL ,OOO,-
OOO In addition TO the preferred stock,
$49, 600, 900 of common stock is 10 be issued
in place of the present stock, which is a de-
vice for future watering. II any consider
able amount of money had ever been put
legitimately into the old stock there would
have been some excuse for this arrange
ment, but there seems TO be none as il is.
The holders of the preferred stock are to
have entire control of the corporation until
the road is completed. This is the objec-
tive point of the managers, aud sooner or
later they may succeed. They have for assets
$50 miles of well-built road, already pay
ing its running expenses, and 10000, 900
acres of land granted by the government.
The extension of the road two or three hum
dred miles further will bring it to a most
val liable business in Dakota territory, and
of course every mile of road completed Sc
cures so much additional land. The man
ayers will now proceed 10 issue a new first
mortgage, and with this they hope to carry
the enterprise through.

The managers Of the agricultural society
in Winnebago county, Illinois, ought to
have known better than to invite Davis TO
speak at their fair, but they evidently had
notion that in tho present era of good feel
ing there was no limit TO popular patience.
But they were mistaken. The people of
Winnebago county are of opinion that
line must be drawn somewhere, and they
draw it at JEFF. Now that they are calling
meetings and protesting against Davis's
presence and declaring they won't come if
he does, the agricultural society has no
choice but either 10 give up the fair or TO
give up Davis. 1t is an awkward position
for them, but one for which they have on
ly their own ill-juIged folly TO thank. To
write and tell jeff, now that he has accept
ed the invitition, that he mustn't come,
will be cruel snub 10 him, and be about
as ungentlemanly thing anyway as could
well lie imagined. Davis deserved TO be
hung, but not TO he treated in that style.
And yet If he is allowed 10 come there won't
be any fair. Probably he will have the
good sense 10 recall his acceptance of his
own motion on hearing of tho trouble. And
we trust it will be warning TO other agri-
cultural societies and TO the people general
ly that while fraternizing with Southern
brethren is grand good thing, ii won't do
to crowd the mourners.-S prtHAfeld Union,

The Panic Not Caused by Contraction.

Senator Sherman, in his speech at Mari
on, thus exposed common Democratic
falacy:
sometimes it is said that the recent pam
ic was caused by want Of currency, or
contraction of The currency. This is a
great error.
In September, 1878, when the panic com-
menced, the amount of United States notes
outstanding was S350,OOO,OOO, Of fractional
currency S15, 100000, and of bank crcula-
ton $3.50, 200, 0OO-in all $40 900, 900, or more
than 1t ever had been before. The panic
came with This vast sum afloat, and Secre-
tary Richardson. without authority OF law,
issued S2G,000,OOO more of United States
notes for the laudble purpose, as he
thought, Of casing the money market. 1t
nearly all went into banks, and there re-
NAMED In unbrUken packages. If flooding
country with currency would prevent a
pane or stop one, here we had the trial.
Bot it was only like pouring oil on Il fire.
1t is demonstrate that nearly all panics,
except only such as are tlaceable to war,
famine, or like causes, spring from ex-
panded credits, and in many cases from
excessive paper money. Overproduc tion
is the inevitable result improvident con-
tracts, Improbable enterprises, and wild
Speculation always follow expanded cred
its, whether by corporations, banks, or in-
dividuals. Iuflation-the very name inn
plies buoyancy, expansion, gas, destruc-
ton; and alas, the destruction often falls
on those who did not breed the storm.
Now that time has given us a full view of
the expanded credits and improvident en-
terprises of 1873, we only wonder THAT the
wreck was not moro overwhelming and
enduring. Surely prudent, sensible men,
who will study such financial waves, must
conclude that the only remedy is to reduce
credits TO a substantial basis. A few arli-
cles for time will not sell because there is
no demand for them, or there is an over
supply. But this soon passes away. In
dustry is gradually reyiving, and now is
the time TO base our enterprises upon spe-
Gle paying money, and upon thin, indus
try and economy"

The bass and pickerel in Lake George
think of calling a meeting to formally ex-
press their gratitude to Seth Green for the
10000 young trout which he planted there.
The trout are nearly all gone; and every
little while hungry pickerel puts his head
ont of the water to $50 if Seth is coming
with more.

The Provide nee journal thinks that
there seems 10 be excellent grounds for be-
lie wing that The Ohio election in October,
will result in victory 10 the Republicans.
Day by day the issue is made more delin-
lite upon The question OF the resumption of
specie payments, or further initiation Of an
irredeemable currency. The correspond
ent Of the Cincinnati Commercial, who has
been canvassing the iron producing Sec
lions of the State where the voters are
more than ordinarily independent of strict
party affiliations, finds that not only the
capitalists, but others, are entirely sound
upon this question. They see what is per-
fectly plain to all not misled by their finan-
cial necessities, that there can be no secur-
ity in extensive business transactions so
long as tho currency of the country is liza
BILE TO such sudden and such great fluctua-
tions. For it is not gold, but currency,
which vbrates in value. TO be sure, gold
is quoted as up or down. But gold in the
markets of the world, does not constantly
change in value. 1t is our irredeemable
currency which is worth more or less.
When this is, as it to-day is, the conviction
of the real business men of Ohio, there is
every probability that the truth will be
recognized by such majority of the vot-
ers in Ohio as will give the election to the
Republican candidate.

MEASURING THE STRENGTH OF INSECTS.
Some interesting and ingenious expert
ments for measuring the strength of in
sects have lately been made by a Belgian
naturalist named Plateau. He first tested
their power Of raising weights while walk
ing on level surface. His novel method
of doing this was to harness the insects by
a horizontal thread running over an easily
moving pulley, at The other end of which
was attached scale pan for holding sand.
To keep the insect in a straight direction,
he fenced it in between two parallel strips
Of glass; and to keep II from slipping, he
covered its track with coarse muslin. As
the insect moved forward, it pulled the
thread over the pulley and raised the pan,
and the experimenter poured sand into it
until the insect could move no longer.
The insect and the sand 1t had raised were
then weighed, and the relation between the
weights OF the two was obtained. lie found

-Ex-Governor Scott of South Carolina,
is taking part in the Ohio campaign, in
support of Governor Allen, Democracy
and imitation. In speech at youngstown,
he declared that it was the dutyof the gov.
eminent to pay for the slaves emancipated
in the war. However much the irankness
of the orator is to be commended, his pru-
denee may be questioned. 1t is not the
policy ofthe Democratic party to talk thus,
before the presidential election. Give them
an Executive and Congress, in which the
controlling portion of the majority is COM
posed of men who fought in the rebellion,
or sympathized with 1t, and the South will
be in position to demand what il is not
prudent TO hint at now. Tue Southern or
nors must have patience, or they will dam
Rge their own cluse.
