Severe Winters In EurODe.

Snow is recorded to have fallen in
Rome during forty days in the 39Gth
year before the Christian era. Nearly
eight centuries later the Black sea was
frozen over for three weeks. In COS
the vines ace stated to have been de-
stroyed by frost over large portion of
France. There is tradition, again,
that in 500 snow and Intense cold pre-
vailed over Europe for six months, even
the Adriatic being frozen. In 574 tho
Bosphorus could be crossed by the ice
on its surface. The same weather WAS
followed by epidemics and famine, to
which q third OF the population of
France is said to have succumbed. In
1853 the Pc was was frozen over, and
wine CONCEALED in the cellars. The win
tors of 1928 and 1903 were extremely
cold In tho former year the ice-bound
surface of the Baltic was used as o
thoroughfare for six weeks. and in 1908
nearly all the bridges of Paris were car
RED away by the blocks of ice floating
in the Seine. The Clerk of the Par,ia-
ment Of the day declared himself unable
to register the DEGREES. owing to the ink
freezing in his pen in spite Of the large
fires kept burning in his Office! In 1863
the weather was so severe in Flanders
that the frozen wine had to be cut with
hatchets. Ten years previously force
of Al 900 men encamped on the Danube.
In 1904 and 1907 there wero games and
bonfres on the Thames at London ;
and 1854 is memorable as the year of
the great fair held on that river, which
was covered with ice twelve inches
thick. Thirty years later another fair
was held on the same river in mid-win-
ter. and yet another in 1740. The years
1766 and 1889 were notable for intense
cold throughout Europe. Hard winters
prevailed in Europe in 1929, 1910, 1886
and 1S49. Since that last date several
very cold years have occurred.

Treatment; Of CONSUMPTION.

Three millions Of persons die annu-
ally of consumption. Medical re-
sources seem to be bafaed by this NAL,
ady. DR.. Talbot Jones confessed, in the
New York Medical Journal, that eli
mate isthe physicians only dependence
for the cure of his consumptive pa
tient. The article expresses the follow
ing opinions: l..
1::No zone enjoys entire immunity
from pulmonary consumption.
2. The popular belief that phthisis is
common in cold climates is fallacious,
and the idea, now so prevalent, that
phthisis is rare in warm climates il as
untrue as dangerous.
3. The disease causes large pro-
portion of deaths on the seashore, the
mortality diminishing with elevation up
to certain point.
4. Altitude is inimical to the develop
ment OF consumption, owing chiefly to
the greater purity of the atmosphere in
elevated situations, it's freedom from
organic matter, and its richness in
ozone.
5: Moisture arising from a clay soil
or due to evaporation is one of the most
influential factors in its production.
6. Dampness from the atmosphere,
from whatever cause, or in any altitude,
predisposes to the development of the
disease, and is hurtful to those already
attacked.
Z. Drynes~is quality of the atmos-
phere of decided value.
&. The most unfavorable climate pos
sible for consumptive is one of uni
form high temperature and high dew
point (warm and moist).
9. The effects due to change in the
atmosphere are by no means so per-
nicious as ore generally supposed, and
on this subject present views require
modification.
DR.. Jones commends the climate Of
Minnesota, and thinks those predis-
posed to consumption, or laboring under
its first stages, would very likely be ben
Gifted or cured by residence there.
Between the pleasant rolling prairie,
the wooded lake region, and the dense
pine forests of the northern section Of
the State, they can choose what seems
most agreeable and best adapted to
them, while the dry, bracing atnlos-
phere will enable them to live much of
their time out of doors without fear Of
taking cold.
He insists, however, on the inutility
of sending patients thither WHO are il,
the advanced stages of the disease.

An Oystelman'S Luck

care you in q hurry?' an oyster deal
or inquired OF man for whom he was
opening his third oyster. The man had
ordered dozen, and was plainly in haste,
but seeing that a lady had entered the
saloon, he said that he had plenty of time,
and began to MUNICH broken crackers
until the FISHERMAN was again ready to
wait upon him.
"What can I do for you, ma'am?" the
dealer inquired, turning to the lady.
"Are your goldfish frcsh?'' the new Gus
toner demanded, looking suspicously at
some largc:ones on the board.
"Onlv ten hours out of the WATER" the
dealer answered. '"Hardly dead yet.
Only six cents pound.
"Weigh that one for me- the lady
said. The fish weighed five pounds that
was too large; another weighed two; but
that was too small. Il third weighed
three and half, that was just right; but
the lady had changed her mind and pre-
ferrcd haddock. This, also was six cents,
and fish of suitable weight was soon
found, but four cents pound was ali

Moreover, she had now set her heart upon
smelts, and as there was none in the sa-
laon, she turned her attention to oysters.

"a dollar and a quarter" was the re
ply, land cheaper at that than you can
get them anywhere in the city, ii
''Then open fifty for me, if you please"

gentleman, tirst,'' the dealer asked, point
Ing to the man who had been obliged to
take a recess after eating three oysters.
.:Certainly not" the lady said, snap
pishly: '1'm in q harry" and as the
man had by this time finished nearly all
the crackers and, in a great measure, lost
his appetite for oysters, he said, politely,
that ne was willing to watt! -
The fifty oysters were opened, and ,at-

The Hair.

The fashion of crimping and curling
the hair of children is positively iniqui-
tous. Wee creatures Of 3 or 4 years,
and even younger, are arrayed in cur!
papers by affectionate and admiring
mothers who are bent upon making the
children charming, and who do not
stop to consider how far they may be
defeating their own ends by the action;
II how much pain they may be infict-
ing On the objects of their fond SO lei
tude. An authority on that subject
says: "Up to the age of 6 or 7 chill
dren retain what is called their baby
hair which is injured, not improved,
by cutting. It is quito different from
the harsher hair which succeeds it. II
the hair curls naturally it locks charm
ing dressed in that fashion, but putting
it in papers is sure to injure it and pull
it out by the roots. The use of curling
ironsisyet more Objectionable ;any thing
that tangles and cuts the hair is bad in
the extreme, and it is to be regretted
that mothers draw so heavily upon the
capital Of their childreu's hair, instead
Of using the yearly increasing Interest
Of its beauty and value" By keeping
the scalp Of the head clean, and the
hair brushed into silky softness, it's
beauty can be preserved until late in
life.

Inhabitants Of Britain 20. coo Years A.,

"The Man of the Caverns" was the
subject of q lecture in London by Prof.
Boyd Dawkins, r. r. S. He said that,
while the river-drift men and the cave
men were living in Britain, the hills
and valleys in the South of England
presented the same outlines as they
do now. Gould we take our stand in
those times on Shooters hill or on the
Essex heights, and look over the
Thames valley in the direction of Lon
don, we should see dense forest of
oak, ash and Scotch fir, and the course
Of tho Thames marked by lines of will
lows and alders. A few thin columns
Of smoke rising over the tops Of the
trees would mark the camping places
OF primeval man. In the forest wild
boars, mammoths and rhinoceroses,
wild horses, stays and Irish elks would
meet our eyes, and in the summer time
countless herds of bison, like those now
ranging over the plains of Northwestern
America. In the winter were vast num-
bers of reindeer, and few musksheep,
the most Arctic of the mammalia in it's
habits. In the rivers we're offers and
beavers, and the explorer would be
startled by the snort of the hippopota-
mus in the reaches of the Thames near
Brentford, Beasts of prey also
abounded, lions, leopards, hyenas, griz-
Ely bears, wolves and foxes. If we pen
etrated to one of the camp fires we
should have seen the river-drift hunter
chipping or using some of those rude
flint instruments which lilo buried in
the London gravels along with the re-
mains of the animals which he hunted.
The river-drift man, in the long course
of ages, was succeeded by the man Of
the caverns, like him hunter, living
on tho same animals, and moro highly
equipped for the battle of life. In the
course of time the cave man disap-
peared, the climate and geography of
this country became almost what it was
now, the hunter stage of civilization
was superseded by that CT the herdsn,an
and the tillcr of the ground and the
manufacturer of the Neoitkic age.
From the Neolithic age down to the
present time the progress of man has
been unbroken in Britain and Europe,
and the present condition of the Euro
pean peoples was to be looked upon as
the result of a gradual series of
changes by which civilization succeeded
civilization, and race succeeded race,
"the old order yielding place unto the
new" because the new order was higher
and nobler.
