A VERY romantic story has been 60
ing the rounds Of the press of lovely
young woman in Cheyenne who, upon
losing front tooth, had her dentist ad-
vertise for some one who would sacrifice
one of his own grinders, and the victim
was found in the person of a young Span
ish lad, who, for and in consideration of
the sum of 500, agreed and consented to
have one of his own sound front teeth
extracted, which was done, and the fair
girl was made happy by a tooth in. She
then conceived a violent desire to meet
the noble youth who had thus endured
the torture of the dentists forceps that
her pearly row might be unbroken and
her smile might still be charming. She
did meet him, and sympathy for his
tooth out, which gave her a tooth in, so
it is said, developed a warmer feeling,
which will result in their marriage, and
they can then exchange teeth if they
want to. It's very pretty story, but, the
incredulous remark, too thin.

Pork and Politics.

Foreign-born hogs are, it is said, denied
admission into several European coun-
tries, either by royal edict or legislative
enactment. Of course many Of Ameri-
can birth, and consequently well fitted to
movein the best society, are thus excluded
and debarred the privilege of visiting the
continental seaports and towns and Of
giving the down-trodden sons, of tyranny
a taste of genuine American corn-fed or
still life. Such hardship inflicted upon
representative Porkopolitans should be
considered as blow aimed directly at the
liberties of the greatest freedom-loving
nation on earth-a blow affecting the
perpetuity of the Government itself.
The State Department at one time evi-
IDENTIFY took such view of the case, and
manfulIy grappled with the weighty sub
ject, fairly bristling with good intentions.
The matter seems, however, to have now
reached deadlock. Perhaps the "hog
question has been pigeon-ho!ed along
side of the pending negotiations between
Greece and Turkey. or it may have
slipped altogether out of hand Or the
delay arises from the fact that just at
the present the administration fat is
seriously endangered and the Chief of
State is anxionsly engaged in endeavor-
ing to save his bacon by filling or trying
to fill the political larder with choice
of the halfbreed variety What
ever may have been the original cause Of
stoppage, it is now time that it be re-
moved. Let the consideration of the
rights of native-born American hogs on
foreign soil be proceeded with. The peo-
pie demand it, and their demands should
be complied with.

In lecture in New York city few even
ings ago, Felix Adler pointed out in what re-
spects rational school should differ from the
ordinary school:
To begin with history. 1t should not be a
mere catalogue Of dates and names Il can
be made interesting and grand to children.
rational method demands biography before
history. Children can grasp a man easier
than people, and we must proceed from the
near to the remote. II / were teaching the
history of Greece, should begin with the
history of that wise old man, Socrates. Tell
them what he did and said, and what a wife
Aantippe was | would soon have them in
terested. So l should use the biographies of
Buddha Of Peter the Great or Queen Eliza
beth, to lead to the histories OF their several
countries. l should teach geography in a
similar way. We, Of the society of ethical
culture, have established q school for the chill
dren of poor working people. and in it we are
proving our theories. A child beginning the
study of geography we ask first to draw map
of the school-roOm; then of the way from
his home to the school, soon, map of the
city. Next summer We will take them on a
steamer up the river. and show them still more
of the city and surroundings. When they
are familiar with places near home, then they
can draw maps Of the state, of countries and
continents.
child's reading should be governed with
care. The monstrosities of the spelling
books should be done away with. Let the
teacher carefully correct the compositions and
exercises, and the children will learn to spell
before they know it. DO not waste the chill
dren's time. They should be early acquaint-
ed with the English classics. They should be
taught natural history; should be taken to the
park should learn to observe for themselves
and gather pleasure and knowledge from Ma
ture herself.
There should be provision too, for training
the hand. Industrial education should be
part of the common-school system. Espe-
cially in this country is it necessary to elevate
labor in the eyes of the laborer Nowhere is
there such danger as in free country, where
people are taught equally and yet there is
great social inequality. The working men
see this inequality and chafe at it, and when
occasion comes they revolt. Do away with
the false idea that all are equal except in priv
ileges. Let people know there is no shame
in doing small service, except it be done ill.,
and that for all who do their work well there
is equal honor.

The unusual severity of the present winter
naturally recalls the remarkably cold winters
of the past. Statistics show that this season
has been steadily growing milder for many
years. There seem to be no such winters
now as there were 20 or 80 years ago, owing,
no doubt, TO the cutting down in this country
of the native forests, the planting and growth
OF towns and cities, and the general develop
ment of the land. During the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, there were in the
Old World some winters bitterly memorable.
In Britain, in 1864, the Thames was frozen
to the depth Of 81 inches, and nearly all the
birds in the United Kingdom perished. In
1902, the cold was so intense ia Southern
Europe, especially in Austria that wolves
were driven by hunger into Vienna, where
they attacked beasts of burden aud even hu-
man beings. Three years later, many per-
sons were frozen to death in various parts of
Germany. The cold winter, as it was called
for distinction, occurred in 1903, when all the
rivers and lakes in Europe were compactly
frozen, even the sea several miles from shore,
and the earth itself from to S feet deep
Birds and beasts fell dead, and thousands Of
men, women and children persisted in their
houses. In Southern France, nearly all the
vineyards were destroyed and have not yet
recovered from the disaster The Adriatic
was frozen, and much of the Mediterranean
in the neighborhood of Genoa and Leghorn,
and the lemon and orange groves were blight
ed in many parts Of Italy. During 1716 per-
sons crossed the straits from Copenhagen to
the Province of Senia Luden) on the ice,
and horses and wagons likewise. Snow lay
10 feet deep in Spain and Portugal during
l74O, the Zuyder Zee was covered with ice
thick enough to bear multitude of people,
and four years after, snow measured on
level % feet in Portugal. In 1771 the Eibe
was frozen TO the bottom, and in 1776 the
Danube showed ice below Vienna to 10 feet
thick. The winter of 1880 was very Sc
we're in this country. The bitter cold began
in the middle Of November and continued un-
til the close of February. The suns rays
were not warm enough to melt the snow,
which lay on the ground almost five months,
so thick that it was very hard to get from
place to place. All ordinary bodies of water
were ice-bound. Domestic fowls and wild
turkeys perished by thousands, so did deer
and buffalo, and wolves and panthers, mainly
from lack of their natural food, buried under
the snow. The Northern and Western rivers
were fettered by the frost, and the Cumber-
land was SO firmly frozen, as far South as
Nashville, that emigrant trains passed secure
ly over the river. The Delaware opposite
contained ice of or feet, and
Long Island sound and the Chesapeake were
frozen over. Scientific persons have declar-
ed that hot and cold waves recur every eleven
years, as in 1876, 1857, and 1868, and the
predict that this will prove to
be one of the coolest winters known for 20
years.-N. Y. Times.

A THRILLING ADvKNTURE.-On Monday.
10th inst, Representative Seymour of the
Michigan legislature, Collector Chandler of
the port of Sault Ste. Marie and three French
wood-choppers found themselves on the Ig-
mace side OF the straits of Mackinac, waiting
an opportunity to cross Being anxious to
reach the State capital at the beginning of
the session, Mr. Seymour urged his compan-
ions to attempt the passage at once, though
severe storm was driving the snow in great
clouds down the fields of ice. Three guides
Louis Ryerse, Jack Lasley and Simpson De
Forest volunteered to lead the voyagers over
the straits, and so about noon on Monday the
perilous undertaking was begun. When more
than half way over tho squalls became terrific
and the ice was felt undulating under the feet
of the skaters like the low, long roll of waves
at sea. Mr.. Seymour was thoroughly alarm
ed. Ryerse, the boldest and most intelligent
of the guides, refused to give any further sat
isfaction than to utter repeatedly; "a first
class cake of ice" What Ryers meant was
understood fifteen minutes later, when, on
approaching the shore, Mr.. Seymour saw that
the field of ice upon which the party stood
was sweeping down the straits at a speed not
less than five miles an hour. Between the
party and the shore was two hundred feet of
open water. The situation was alarming. To
return was impossible and there was nothing
to do but to stand still and await develop
ments. Fortunately there was bend to the
eastward just below and the voyagers saw
that the head of their ice field was being driv-
en- by the wind against the shore. The force
of the collision was so great that small cakes
of ice were thrown twenty feet into the air
and great masses were ground to powder
Going through this line of ice surf was no
child's play, but every man of the party at
last succeeded in reaching the shore. They
had been three hours in making the passage
and had travelled fifteen miles.
