COINCIDENCE OF DATES.

Some condolences of dates are
very remarkable.

Calvinists masacred the Catholic
mobiles and priests at Berne and

On the same day Of the same
month, in 1872, the Calvinists were
massacred in Paris and elsewhere.
On the 25th October, 1915, Louis

remark the following coincident:

There ls q singular rule which has
been supposed to determine the
length of the reigning Pope's life,

Add his number to that of his pre-

result gives you the year of his
death.
Plus VII. succeeded Plus VI, 8

Plus VIII. succeeded Leo XII;
8 and II and 10 are 80; and Plus

Parkman, in Geauga County, Ohio. on the 9th day

in active service acting engineer in the Mssssip

much of the circumstance of bloody war, while

self specially active in advocating such bills as he
deemed meritOrious and valuable to the State, ma
terially and morally, and in opposing those that

Among the measures that met his strongest opposi-

THE WINTER IN IOWA,

CHICAGO, February 2l-The severity Of the win

ate circle of persons who have personally expert
enced the hardships. gentleman just in from

ever been experienced in that usually pleasant State
Open winters the rule there, and the blizzard is
an exception, usually of slOrt duration. This win

the State. Weather Indications have been watched
with the greatest anxiety, but every precedent or
Indication of breakup has been disappointed and
ghtforward enduring cold winds and snow have
taken the place OF the usual January and February
thaw. The railroads have made a. uanful but une-
ven battle against the elements. No sooner have
they cleared the track, and gotten fairly to running
than ice or drifed snow blocks the rails again. and
It has been one steady fight with the elements to

Temperance mrn condemn its oppressive and i'm
practicable features, and many of them are in

through by the anti-temperance men, the object
of the latter being to disgust the people with
the law, and force reaction. But this plea
will not do. The temperance people adopted the
amendment, and elected an overwhelming ma
jority of the members of the Legislature in favor
of it, and all the credit or blame rest with them.
II they elect men who are crazy a subject,
and give them fall power, they must expect crazy

Instead of the law regulating the sale Of liquor
for medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes
