Cold Weather in the Past.

The abnormal severity of the weather
which has been experienced in Paris and
throughout the greater part of France
during the last few days, says GaI'g-
nani's Messenger, seeming, as it does,
to threaten us with an exceptionally
hard winter, may render interesting
brief glance at some OF the great
"frosts " of by-gone and modern times.
Thus, to begin very early period,
snow is recorded to have fallen in Rome
during 40 days in the year 1876 before
the Christian era. Nearly eight CEN
turtles after-the exact date is uncertain
the Black Sea was frozen over for )
weeks. In COS, the vines are stated to
have been destroyed by frost over
large portion of France. There is q ira
dition again that in $50 snow and in
tense cold prevailed over Europe for SIX
months, even the Adriatic being frozen.
In ga the Bosphorous could be crossed
by the ice on its surface. The severe
weather was followed by epidemics and
famine, to which third of the popula-
ton of France is said to have sue
cumbed. In 1853 the Pc was frozen
over and wine CONCEALED in the cellars.
The winters of 1928 and 14OS were eX-
tremely cold. In the former year the
ice-bound surface of the Baltic was used
as tEoroughfare for six weeks, and in
14OS nearly all the bridges of Paris were
carried away by the blocks of ice float
ING in the Seine. The clerk of the par
lament of the day declared himself un-
able to register the DEGREES, owing
to the ink freezing on his pen in
spite of the large fires kept burning in
his Office. In 146S the weather was so
severe in Flanders that the frozen wine
had to be cut with hatchets. Ten years
previously force of 1900 men en-
camped on the Danube. In 1904 and
1907 there were games and bonfres on
the Thames. And 1854 is memorable
as the year of the great fair held on the
English river, which was covered with
ice II inches thick. An inscription in a
book of the period says "the people
kept trades on the Thames as in a fair
held till February 4, 1884. About 40
coaches plyed on the Thames as on drye
land" Thirty years OF so later, in ZIG,
another fair was held on the same river
in midwinter, and yet another in lao
The years 1766 and 1889 were notable
for intense cold throughout Europe.
Another ice fair-the last-took place
on the Thames in 1914. Hard winters
prevailed in 1929, 1910, 1916 and 1S49,
In 1916 the greatest cold experienced in
France since the invention of the Their
mometer was observed at Pontarlier,
when the mercury went down to 81 de-
grees below freezing-point. In 1S4s
quicksilver froze in Norway. The win.
ter of 1858 was generally severe
throughout Europe. Since that date
several very cold years have occurred
such as those of 1860 and 1901, but
they are too fresh in the memories Of
our readers to need further reference to
them here.

And sternly fold onf bark and gates;

RELIGIOUS LAzrNEss. There are few In
every parish who are willing to work and do
work. You hear of them among the poor and
sick; you find them in the prayer meeting
and see them IN all church activities. They
are always willing to do more than their part.
You can rely on them every tune. But the
majority of professors seem surprised that
you should expect any work from them. They
come TO church to enjoy religion, not to help
others--to be saved, not to work. AS to Wis
iting the sick, feeding the poor, gathering in
the destitute children or speaking to the M
saved. they never try it--"have no gift for
IT," and 80 pay theirmoney, hear the sermon,
enjoy the singing. try to be respectable, and
call that religious living, without making a
single personal endeavor to do good from one
years end to another. 1t Is surprising what
easy Christians smart business men make. A
set of merchants who eau run bank or
mill, and make trade pay, aud know how to
manage corporations, will let church run
down for the wan. Of little religious enter
prise, and very iikly call ON the women aud
children to help them out.
A community OF Christian farmers who
know how to improve stock and make farm
pay, who on hard soil viii get good living
and keep their own houses neat and trim, will
lot the house of God become shabby and the
church die out, because as farmers they work,
but as Christians they do not work. What
our churches and our communities most need
is not more talent, or more truth, or more
money, or more opportunities, but downright
and upright earnest work. II takes but .
few people. little money and small culture
to build up church when the people have a
mind to work. The curse Of the church to-
day is lazy membership, seeking to be saved
without work, forgetting that faith without
works 10 dead - Golden Rule.

THE USE OF SHORT WoRDs. We must NOT

win put what Is in our minds into the minds
of others. This is the great art which those
must gain who wish to teach In the school.
the church, at the bar, or through the press.
TO do this in the right way, they should use
the short words which we learn in early life,
and which have the same sense to all classes
Of men. The English of our Bible Is good.
Now and then some long words are found and
they always hurt the verses In which you find
them. Take that which says " ye genera
tiou of vipers, who warned you to fee from
the wrath to Gomez" There is one long word
which ought not to be in It namely, "gen-
alton" In tho old version, the old word

ALLIeAToR's NESTS. These nests resem-
BILE baycocks. They are four feet high, aud
FIVE 10 diameter at their bases, being con-
structed with grass and heritage. First, they
deposit Que layer Of eggs on floor of mortar,
and having covered this with a stratum of
mud heritage eight inches thick, lay another
set of eggs upon that, and SO on to the top,
there being commonly from one to two hun
dred eggs in a nest. With their tails they
then beat down round the nest the dense
grass and reeds, Ave feet high, TO prevent the
approacli OF unseen enemies. The female
watches her eggs until they are Matched by
the heat OF the sun, and then takes her brood
Under her own care, defending them and pro-
viding for their subsistence. Dr. Lutzem-
burg Orleans, told me that he once packed
up one Of these nests with the eggs in box
for the museum Of st. Petersburg, but he was
recommended before be closed 1t to see that
there was no danger of the eggs being hath
ed on the voyage. On opening one young
alligator walked out, and was soon followed
by the rest, about a hundred, which he fed in
his house, where they went up and down
stairs, whining aud barking like young pup
pies.
