Thursday morning was warm and
pleasant, and there was every indica-
ton of break up of the sleighing.
Rain began to fall, but had not got
fairly going when the wind came
down from Manitoba, and blew a
regular hurricane gait. The thaw
and rain soon froze up, mercury tum-
bled down to zero, and winter again
reigned supreme. The icy gale con-
tinued all Thursday night, and the
cold spell lasted during Friday. By
Saturday, spring began again to APP
pear, and the temperature became
more agreeable. The sun tried its
best to produce a thaw but the brisk
icy tempered north wind kept the
temperature in a condition that made
it uncomfortable for a person to be
out on the streets without a warm
coat on.

China. The whole southeastern Asiatic
coast and many of the Pacific stands are

We want the trader, who GOES between
