Europe is evidently in, as our "philosopes
and clerkes' have fOrwarned u.s. for one of
her cold winters in this year 1879 that is
coming in with it's Christmas to fall on a
Thursday. In the Voeges there seems to be
a precise repetition of the scenes 60 wildly
depicted by Erckmann Chatrain IN lie
Consent as marking the terrible season in
which the fragments of the Grand Army
struggled home ward from Moscow, and Eng
land has not known such snowfall for 3,
generation as has just descended upon her.
This fact has an especial interest in view of
some queer statistics adduced not long ago
by a writer in the Gardeners Chronicle who
laid it down as q rule that ''any very hard
winter is likely to recur either forty one
years or eighty years late Precisely what
this period may coincide with in ma
ture the writer did not, perhaps could not
explain: that may be left for the inves
tigstors who have laid down the rule of
the connect ion of sun spots with CONNER
cial panics and Indian famine4 1t is
certain, however, that he brought to back
him . very large number of condolences.
Thus the hard winter of 1858 was followed,
80 years later, by the hard winter of 1903.
At the same interval. from the hard winte rs
OF l70S. I716 and 1889, came those of 1888,
1896 aud 1919. The three successive winters
OF 1888, 1884 and 1855 fall under the Al years
rule. The winter OF 1854 was very severe,
so was that of 17y5 while that of 1888 was
unusually milo. The hard winters of 1913,
1855, 1859, 1860. 1864 ani 1865 all followed
upon hard winters occurring either Al or so
years previously, ard the writer in the Gar
deners' Chronicle said that, relying on this
ruls. he predicted the cold weather of 1867
and 1875. Against the winter of 1873 8 are
bo tn chances, since the winter OF 1873 was
very cold, and 20 was that of 1887 8. II
seems only too probable also that thu
severe winter will be memorable In Engfish
minds f0r something more serious than the

japanese Theatres.

The Japanese haven't yet learned the
art of intensifying their eDjoyments by
abstemious indulgence. For instance,
in their theatrical performances they
take whole three-volumed novel at O
gulp. Think of sitting from eight
o'clock in the morning until nine in the
evening for amusement! "The enuer-
tainment," says the Japanese reporter,
who prepared for the Toxic Times a
paper on "Current Theatrical Attrac.
tions," continues over thirteen hours.
Rather long time when compared with
that of European theatres, where very
seldom more than four hours are occu-
pied" The Japanese gallants might be
excused for going out between acts to
take rest. The play which the jap
anese reporter has recorded, act by act,
in a very conscientious manner, but of
which he has not thought it worth while
to mention the title las it was being per-
formed daily before crowded houses at
the Shintomiza Theatre), is rather a
disjointed affair. Its principal charac-
ters are an actor and two beggars, all
of whom, from various motives, shave
their heads, change their names and
take up the monastical life." There is
q great deal of robbery and trickery,
garnished at intervals with some lively
love-making. In the midst of the
drama, says the reporter, "there are
two intermediate acts introduced, prob
ably by way of relief to the long-sus-
tanned boisterousness of the principal
piece, with which they are quite dis
connected, and which illustrate the
period of strife between the two great
feudal families of GeDji and Heike.
These are to many the most imposing
part of the whole performance. They
commence at about two in the after
noon and end at four. Both the prin
cipal and intermediate plays are founded
ON facts, but as they are embellished to
such an extent as is considered neces-
sary to suit the stage, there remains but
little which is Identical with the events
as they did actually take place." In
this Interpolation high-toned gentle
man cuts off the head of his son rather
than that of his enemy's son, whom he
had previously rescued from danger,
and the high-toned son Qen or twelve
years of age) cat once declared his
willingness to make the sacrifice, and
adds that it is but an ordinary obliga-
ton, which O son owes his parents.

one " eccentricity of expression APP

That afternoon, the whole corpora.
ton, sensible too late of their error,
waited in O body on Lord A B
to apologize for their mistake, and to
entreat him to honor the town with his
presence during the remainder of the
season.
He was busily employed in tying up
his bundle when the deputation entered,
and he continued to adjust it all the
time they. were speaking. When they
concluded, having frightened the last
knot, he replied as follows:
Gentlemen, I entered your town
with every intention Of thinking well
of its inhabitants. But 1 came in a
shabby coat, carrying my own bundle,
and took up my quarters at paltry
alehouse, the only place where you
would give me admittance. Your re-
ception of me would have been very
different had I arrived in my carriage.
But, gentlemen, am an odd fellow, as
you see, and sometimes try whether l
can obtain it without these adventitious
distinctions +; and the manner in which
you treated me, while 1 appeared
among you in the light of poor and
inoffensive stranger, has convinced me
of my error in looking for liberality
here. And I must inform you that l
estimate your polite attention at the
same value that did your contempt.
and that would not spend another
night in your town if you would give
it to me ; and SO good-morning."
AS his lordship concluded, he at
tached his red bundle to the end of his
bludgeon, and shouldering it, with a
droll look at the discounted corpora
ton, he trudged out of the town with
the same air of sturdy independence
that he had trudged in.-Belgrduia.

Monsieur Theirs was one of the few
great men who could resist the enticing
luster of q title. When addressed as
Baron by the Duke of Trevise, he ex-

and be sure if the King had title to
give me, he would make me Duke, as
you are; but do not want any title. y
ALI his life he remained the true ideal
of the French bourgeoise. Yet he was
a constitutional monarchist until the
actual republic made him President.
He did not believe in universal suffrage,
and called the people ella vile multi

against him. He was one of the most
versatile of men-historian, orator,
philosopher and statesman, and withal
q great egotist. II am smarter than
you," he once said to Louis Philippe.
"Not because you say so" returned the
King. He was Deist; he believed in
Providence, in the supernatural creati n
of earth and man, in the future life,
in the human destiny. in the souls i'm
mortality. His last years were full OF
glory; he was really the founder of the
third republic, and his funeral was the
grandest affair of the kind on record.
Ousted from the Assembly, he snatched
up the pen. HE remained" says his
