some of the Remarkably Cold Winters
 in Europe tn the Past.
 From the Scientific American.l
 The following statistics of the good old winters are curious: In 4OS the Black sea WAS entirely frozen over. In 761 not only nelles were frozen over the snow in some places rose fifty feet high. In 922 the great rivers of Europe-the Danube and Elbe, etc. were so hard frozen as to bear heavy wag- ons for a month In S6O the Adriatic was frozen. In 991 everything was frozen the lence closed the year. In 1O67 the most of the travellers were frozen to death on the roads. In 1133 the Pc was frozen from Cre- mona to the sea the wine casks were burst, and even the trees split by the action of the frost with immense noise.
 In 1236 the Danube was frozen to the bot tom, and remained long in that state. In 1916 the crops wholly failed in Germany ; wheat, which some years before sold in Eng land at 6s. the quarter, rose to G2. In 1889 the crops failed in Scotland, and such fam inc enshed that the poor were reduced to feed on grass, and many perished miserably In the fields. The successive winters of 1332 '33, '34 were uncommonly severe. It once showed forty days without interruption. In 146S the wine distributed to the soldiers in Flanders was cut out with hatchets.
 In 1884 the winter was excessively cold. Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches drove along the Thames, the ice of which was eleven inches thick. In 17O9 occurred the cold winter. The frosts penetrated three yards into the ground. In 1715 booths were erected and fairs held on the Thames. In 1744 and 1745 the strongest ale in England, exposed to the air, was covered in less than fifteen minutes with ice an eighth of an inch thick In 1909 and again in 1872 the winters were remarkably cold. In 1914 there was a fair on the frozen Thames

About thirty of the members of Goddess of Liberty Council No. 3, D. of L., and their friends paid surprise visit to brother and sister s. R.

Staples called for order and in 8 very humorous and pleasant speech presented MT. and Mrs. Davis with an elegant china toilet set bearing the motto: s'Keep me clean and use me well what I see I will never tell.'' MT. D. re- sponded, thanking the members for so kindly remembering him and his. Immediate ly following the presentation dan cling was indulged in, music being furnished by members of the Post, while Prof Beecher, of Thomas orchestra, direct ed the movements of the dancers After a short time spent in this way the order came from Mir. H. R. Wells to ''fall in for ra- tions" Upon reaching the quarters there stood heavily laden table, fairly creaking under the immense weight of the good things which the sisters of the D. of L. are so noted for furnishing for occasions like this. The inner man having been satisfied, dancing was again indulged in until the hour for separa tion came, when all went home to wait until the next, or be present at the social or Thanksgiving eve.
