LETTERS 10 SANTA CLAUS.

City.

A Specimen From a Little Girl in This
city.
The hold which the pardonable decep-
tion Of Santa Claus has upon children Of
tender age is illustrated by the letters
which they write every Christmas to that
mysterious parsonage.
Postmaster TaylOr states that about
200 Of these letters have been gathered
from letter boxes in this city. Most of
them are written by children so young
that they do not know that envelopes
and stamps are necessary for the safe
carriage and delivery of any letter. Many
of them are written on the blank side Of
printed circulars and are simply folded
and dropped in the box with no address.
The following letter is a fair specimen
OF those written. 1t was taken from
letter box in the western part of the
city, and is written on the back Of torn
piece Of an advertising dodger folded
many times and dropped into the box
with no address or envelope Judging
from the letter, the little giilis desires
are not eXtravagant, except in the direc-
tions Of sweetmeats. She shows, how
ever, lamentably vindictiye spirit
toward her sister:

Cold winters.

The following facts with regard 70
former extraordinarily severe winters
are peculiarly interesting at the pres
ent seasons. when the weather-wise
are predicting more than usually
sharp spring.
In 4oS the Black SEA was entirely
frozen over. In 7o1, NOT only the
Black Sea, but the Straits Of Darda-
nelles, wer frozen over the snow in
some places rose fifty feet high. In
8s2 the great rivers Of Europe---the
Danube and Elbe, etc.--were 50 hard
frozen as to bear heavy wagons for a
month. In 800 the Adriatic was
frozen; the crops totally failed, and
famine and pestilence closed the year,
In ro67 most Of the travellers were
frozen to death or the roads. It rIsa
the Po was frozen from Cremona q
Fthe sea; the minerasgs were bufsl,
and even trees spIis. by the action o.
the frost, with immense noise. n
r2s6 the Danube was frozen tC TIE
bottom, and remained ltng in that
state. In 1916 the crops wholly failed
in Germany; wheat, which some
years before sold IN England at six
shilling the quarter, rose to two
pounds. In 1855 the crops failed il
Scotland, and such iaEnine ensudc
that the poor were reduced to feed on
grass, and many persisted niseTably

4 Crop Production.


In speaking Of the prospective ma
ture Of the crop producing season Of
1888, Professor Mansill says:
The year 1883 is expected tcfur-
|nish generallp from fair to good crops
producing seasons. The winter Of
1887 -S8, when measured BY the re-
latiye position Of the other planets to
that Of our earth, appears to promise
less sevTity than have the last two or
three winters. The temperature Of
January is expected to average equal
Tor above the mean Of the season.
FEBRUARY ard March should furnish
about sirnilar periods Of temperatnr--
this bringing us to April with an early
spring, which is expected to continue
this monh April, also May, followed
by June that is anticipated to Be as
cool as the mean oEthe season even
if the temperature is not little lower
than the average. The temperature Of
July should average about equal to
the mean Of the season the first half
month, and below the last half Of the
period. The temperature Of August is
expected to be lower than the mean
|oEthe season. The temperature of
September is also anticipated TO oc-
cur below the average for the season
and this continuing during the first
three weeks Of October, 1t which
time the temperature is expected to
become elevated, 10 range as high as
the mean ofthe season, and continue
during the balance Of the month, and
this temperature viii probably be
kept up 10 the average Of the season
during November and part Of Dec.
We are, therefore, looking for All
unusual early and long, warm spring,
with, Of course, the usual number 81
cool ok cold storms, that will occur
about the dates given ii The forecast,
and will prbably change ldurng .June)
into moderately cool summer and
autumn; consequently ii is necessary
that all crops shoul be planted aud

Said q railroad man to me today. q'li
bet not one III q hundred ol the people
who travel on railroad trains understand
how the pressure Of air is used to apply
the brakes to q train. When the air
brake was first invented the air was
turned into the cylinder under each car
when the ear was to be stopped, and the
pressure was exerted 10 force the brakes
up against the wheels. But at the pres
cnt day the brakes arc held against the
wheels by springs and the air Is turned,
into the cylinders TO push the brakeg
away from The wheels as long as the trassl
is III melton. When IL lis desired to stop
the train the afr Is let out and then the
springs apply the brakes and stop the
train This last method of using air
pressure has great advantages over the
old way on the score Of nafety

during the crop growing season. AS
it Is said that theret IS nothing onree-
ord to exceed or hardly equal the
dryness Of the crop growing season Of
1867, therefore We have hardly any
reason to expect 4 long, tedious
drought during the crop developing
term Of 1888. We have, perhaps, some
more reasons to expect a little too
much rain than too small a quantity
during the summer months Of 1888
(over the western corn belt.)

Q. ]. o. MACLEOD

IT is just trihe comical to wit
ness the labored efforts pf many
ofour exchanges to prove that Cleve-
lands message commits the demo-
cratic party TO tariff reform. Why,
bless your soul, the democratic party
was committed to tariff and a thousand
other reforms long before Cleveland
was heard Of, but if anyone will point
out to us q reform in the tarif that
was wrought by the democratic party
we viii promise to vote the demo-
cratic ticket as a penalty for our dis
belief. Conc TO think oft, we cam
not to call to mind a single important
piece Of legislation that has been en-
acted by the democratic party during
the past twenty-five years. TheITs
has been the part Of the critic-only
that and nothing more. The repub-
lican party has inaugurated every re-
formatory measure that has been en-
acted for the past thirty years. The
only tariff reform we have had has
been from The republican party, ana
our word for #, the only tariff reform
we ever will have viii come from that
party,
