here as over 40 degrees below zero. The
mercury thermometers in the coolest
places did not register. because their
means OF, indicating is absolutely certain

haps the safest and most reliable test of
the cold was by spirit thermometer at

showed q register of ~ degrees below
zero, four degrees colder than Monday
morning of last week, and certainly the
coolest ever known in this locality. For

Railway Accidents.

Two smashups occurred on the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway Satur-
day morning, Que at lakewood, a few miles
from Milwaukee and the other at West
Milwaukee. The lakewood accident was
the result of freight train running into
the rear end of the Western Union divi-
SIGN freight train. Freight cars were
piled up in the most indescribable con-
fusion. A wrecking train was brought
into requisltion, and while one of the over
turned cars was being raised the stay
chains of the derrick broke, allowing the
car to fall back, catching and crushing
the life out of Hugh Hannah, who had
been employed as an extra brakeman by
the road since December 8, 1887. This
accident delayed passenger train No. 8
from Chicago due here at 1912 A. M. over
three hours. The accident at West Mil

liding at Twenty-seventh street crossing

employe in the shops, was seriously in
iured by one of the car stoves overturn-
ing upon him, and John Falski and Paul
Ellis riding in from their nights work
upon the engine received severe internal
injuries. Still another accident occurred
in the Prairie du Chen yards at o'clock
Saturday morning, by which a man
named Paul Ehlers, aged so years, was
knocked off from an engine sustaining

A rich Intellectual treat may be ex-
pected from the lecture by Rev. Geo. w.
Pepper, of Ashland, Ohio, at Turner Hall,
Wednesday evening, February 8. The
Toronto Globe thus speaks of him:
"The Rev. Geo. w. Pepper is an elo-
quent speaker He has melodious voice,
very strong, however. His power of de-
clamation is great, and almost thrilling in
it's imprisoned impressiveness"
The St. Paul Dispatch says:
''The lecture was brilliant effort, snd
carried with it the interests of it's hearers.
1t abounded in numerous illustrations
and incidents which convalsed the audi
ence at frequent intervals"

How many Smiths are there in Englandl
1t is impossible to answer this question with
precision, but there are data from which an
approximately correct idea may be obtained
The registrar general tells us that in 1856 it
was possible TO estimate, from certain records
in his keeping, that there were then living in
England and Wales about PSI, 900 Smiths, or
one in every seventy three persons composing
the entire population. Supposing that this
estimate was correct, and that the same pro
portion has since been maintained, the state
ment may fairly be made that there are now
about 355, Sl4 or over one-third of million
Smiths in England and Wales Ii is not quite
easy to realize at once what an enormous
number of people these figures represent.
A few simple illustrations may serve to
make the matter clearer For instance, there
are more Smiths in England and Wales than
there are people in Dublin-indeed, exclud.
ing London, there are only four towns in the
United Kingdom - namely, Birmingham,
Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester-eon-
| tanning more people than there are Smiths
| while twenty SIX out of the fifty two counties
of England and Wales, or one-half, have
fewer people than the immortal house OF
| Smith has representatives.
| 1t is on record, too, that in the seventeen
years between and including 1888 and 1854
2S6.031 Smiths were registered as having
been either born OF married, or as havin.
| died.
Although, as every one knows, Smiths form
numerically the strongest tribe IN England
there being one Smith to every seventy tire
persons comprising the population, still tn
Joneses run them very close, there being on
in every seventy-six persons. Next In orde

upon innocent persons by grammar than by

The people who plume themselves on their

No one gets very intimate with the Ital.
Ians. They are very warm hearted, sociable
and easy up to certain point; there it
ceases. The young diplomats who live In
Rome notice this; although they have lost
their costumes, they have kept their customs.
and one of these is a certain repellant at
mosphere when extreme intimacy is ex-
pected. There is in Rome-the more's The
pity-a slow vanishing of the picturesque;
but, although Roman princess may wear a
modern gown and retain nothing of the past
but her splendid jewels, she is the same proud
lady that she was, or that her great grand
mother was and she, like her, repels intimacy
or familiarity beyond certain point.
One very important point is that they never
wish to he touched. In our country a lady
talking with another will often lay her hand
on her friends arm; this is considered a very
great and objectionable familiarity by an
Italian. Never touch the person; it is

Italian society, to be very polite, will shake
hands when introduced to an American the
first time, but she rarely extends her hand
the second time; she makes deep and grace
full courtesy. If her friend is in affection
she comes, takes her hand and presses it to hei
heart; but there is nothing of the free, easy
caressing, none of that intimate kissing
nothing like the superficial intimacy which
