Women are thoroughly successful as
students at Michigan University. Pres
ident Angel says in bis last report: GAS
we have now for thirteen years, without
the least embarrassment, admitted wom-
en- to all the privileges of instruction in
the university, we cannot but observe
with qualification how rapidly public
opinion, both in Europe and America.
is coming to approve the granting of sub
stantially the same opportunities for edu-
cation to women as to men. It may be
questioned whether this change in pub
lie sentiment is not the most important
even in the educational history of the
last fifteen years. We shall risk little in
predicting that the institutions in this
country which are furnishing separate
instruction of high grade to each of
the sexes will at no distant day find,
like ourselves, that there is no adequate
reason why they should not save labor
and expense by educating the male and
the female students for the most part in
the same class-rooms.

An English vessel which was becalmed
on september % off Pitcairn Island was
visited by boat load of the islanders,
with whom, one of the passengers, lady
went ashore. The people were delighted
to see her, telling her that she was the
first English woman who had visited the
island i'll twenty-five years They loaded
her with fruits and flowers, with shells,
baskets, relic of the Bounty, fresh fish,
cocoanut oil and score of other things
which she couldn't possibly carry, and
then rowed her back with all her treas
ures to the ship. In a private letter,
from which an extract appears in the
London Times, .she says: The vegetation
of the Island is simply magnificent. every

Some of the orange and breadfruit trees

GERMAN MoNOPoLIsTs. 1t is not gen.
orally known that on both the East and
West coasts of South America the Ger
mans have not only taken all the trade
once controlled by the Yankees, but also
have captured the large part of the En-
glish and pretty much all of the French
trade. In all of the English possessions
in the East the Germans are all success
fully competing for the business, and in
China and Japan they are fast gaining
commercial supremacy. These facts
mortify and provoke our shipping and
commission merchants beyond endurance,
but, as an old importer said to me last
week when talking of trade in foreign
ports, Americans can't work on empty
stomachs, and Germans can. Americans
won't live over their Office and stores.
and Germans will !; and as the German
does the business just as reliably for one
third less commission he naturally is
getting all the trade. "--Ertract from a

SOME VERY COLDDAYS.

1t is bit of a coincidence that the
comet upon which Napoleon's sClliers
| gazed seventy years ago, when they
were making that dreadful march from
Moscow, which resulted in the death
from cold and exposure of 100000 men,
should be accompanied on its reappear-
ance with bitter cold spell of weather
| When it swept out of sight, the world
witnessed an unusually severe winter
The incident as we'll as the present colo
snap, recalls other severe winters. In
October, 1853, and February, 764, the
| deniZens of the cities of mosques and
minarets were astonished by cold spell
weathern. and the two seas at Constan-
tinople were frozen over for twenty
days. In 1868 the Thames was frozen
over for fourteen weeks. In l407 the
cold was so intense in England that all
the small birds perished and in 1888 the
large fowl of the air were driven by the
terrible cold into the towns and cities of
Germany.
In 146S the winter was so severe in
Flanders that the wine distributed was
cut with hatchets.
The year 1868 was noted for cold
weather in England. Thousands of for
est and shade trees were split by frost,
birds and stock persisted, line of stages
ran on the Thames for several weeks, and
sheds were built on the ice in the mid
die of the Thames.
In 1851 the wolves were driven by
the cold into Vienna, where they attack
ed men and cattle on the streets.
In 1910 quicksilver froze in the ther-
mometer bulbs at Moscow One of the
most remarkable changes of temperature
was witnessed at Hornsey and Hammer
smith, near London, in 1867. The Their
mometer was 5 degrees below zero on
the 4th of January, and seventy two
hours later it had leaped to 55 degrees
above zero.
With respect to America, some CT the
remarkable cold spells were as follows:
In 1880, and again in 1921, New York
Harbor was frozen oyer SO that teams
were driven across the ice to Staten Is
land. The neighboring state of Indiana
saw weather cold enough to CONCEAL the
mercury in 1856. The winter of 1881
was made memorable by cold weather
ol LI6 1OlII dlIu AOJu ddNS vi OdHudIy
manyssdeaths occurred from the intense
cold, and the residents of Mobile saw the
thermometer sink to zero.
A record of cold sieges would be i'm
perfect without a mention OF the terribly
sudden storm that swept over the coun-
try in 1868, which has gone into history
as the cold New Years. A drayman
was frozen to death in Cincinnati while
driving along the street: man climbing
a fence in Minnesota froze to death and
toppled over into the snow, while the
loss of human and animal lives in all
parts of the country was immense

A German who has been a teacher in
England has published striking book
in which he says that English private
schools are the most inefficient educa-
tional institutions in Europe. What
with holidays, the time spent in examin-
atoms and lost at the beginning and end
of the terms, he reckons that The actual
working days in year are reduced in
most middle-class schools to 1876. The
teaching and the discipline are bad; th
masters are frequently changed, and are
so badly treated and ill-paid that they
become the merest d:udges aud can take
no personal interest in their work.

WATERFOWL, WIS. JANUARY %.
GENERAL SHERMAN.

The name of General w. T. Sherman
seems to be earnestly considered in con-
nection with the next presidency. In
view of the present indication of public
feeling it would not be surprising to see
General Sherman the choice. of the Re-
publican National Convention at Chica-
go next June. We have faith enough
in the great popularity of the old hero,
who marched from Atlanta to the Sea, to
believe that he would sweep the country
like a whirlwind. The people have the
utmost confidence in General Sherman
and his elevation to the position of chief
magistrate would be regarded only as a
just recognition of his great services to
the nation in the time of its peril.

ECHOES OF THE FIGHT.

A long horseback procession para>
ded the streets last Saturday in honor
of Cleveland's election. They carried
a number of banners, on which were
striking pictures and Inscriptions, and
were witnessed by great crowds. AT
night the affair was repeated, with
the addition of fireworks, anvils, tin
pans and every noisy thing that could
be procured. Speeches were deliv-
cred by Messrs. S. B. Williamson, S.
H. Hale, A. Jordan, j. P. Rhodes
and V. l.. Ware, all of whom were
very conservative and conciliatory in
their remarks. No word was uttered
to wound the feelings of any one.
No difficulties of any kind occurred
day or night, and all went home in a
good humor with themselves and the
world at large. If republicans and
democrats everywhere would mingle
with each other as pleasantly as we do
in Milan, there would be no riots or
bloodshed to report.
Milan and vicinity jollified again
last Thursday night, when long
torchlight procession, on horseback,
paraded nearly every street in town.
When "strung out" the column of
fame reached almost from the rail-
road to the college. 1t was headed by
the Milan Brass Band, who made ex-
cellent music for the occasion. Many
houses were illuminated and we sup
pose two or three thousand people on
the line of march witnessed the pro.
cession. Several republicans were in
the column and appeared to enjoy the
fun as we'll as any one. Large bon
fires blazed on Main street, and the
''anvil chorus" was kept up until a
late hour. Large numbers of ladies

and children were down town to enjoy
the occasion, and bevy of sweet little
girls sang patriotic songs at intervals,
during the evening. Hundreds of our
country friends were in town, some of
them coming eight or ten miles to join
in the festivities. But Ben Ragsdale
created more fun than clown by his
happy display. He rode an old mule
which was rugged up with cloths and
two large sacks inscribed Little Rock
Bonds" and "Mulligan Letters" and
frequently he would "burn this letter"
amid deafening cheers. His muleship
was also decorated with a large white
plume, which gracefully nodded he
tween his aurioular appendages.

All the returns of this district have

The returns of the state election

are that our figures of last week are
not far out of the way. Taylor's eiec

railroad commissioners are defeated.
