probably IS because the memory of the

impaired, however, for there- have been
winters that were quite as remarkable.

II the mild weather continues a week or
two longer the trees win continue to bud,
and the inevitaale frosts later on will kill
the buds. In Connecticut it is said that
many peach trees are il bloom.
1t has been remarked in late years that
the winters in this country are becoming
gradually miller. The scientists do not
assent to this, but observant people state it
as a fact Prof. Draper, of the meteorolog-
ical observatory Of Central PARK, New
YORK, says rainfalls pass through periods of
sixty years in their maximum and minimum
annual averages and the years of the great
est rainfall are also the oldest This coun-
try, he says, is now finishing up one rain
fall period-that is. the average annual
rainfall has been decreasing for sixty years,
until the lowest point has now been reached.
There are now before Senate committees
344 nominations made recently by Mr..
Cleveland The correspondent of a leading
republican organ admits that about tho
only ones thai VIII be acted upon will be
those of promotions in the army aud navy.
Among the hung up" nominations are
those of about 80 postnasters, tie others
being United States district judges aud
attorneys, judges in territories, customs

Of a Delaware legislature eecting a repub.

Health Boards for Florida.

Gov. Fleming, Of Florida. has the c1u--
age TO act in accordance with his c11vic-
tions In his inaugural address Re sad i.
was probable that be would call An extra
session Of the legislature 70 provide the
means for the better protection Of th7 pub
lie health. He has called al extra sszsl3a,
and the legislature viii meet Feb. ).
Doubtless there ara good many people
in Florida who will condemn the cJur q Of
the governor In this matter, on the ground
that there is no such an emergency as to
justify the expense OF an extra session. but
they are in the minority. The great ma
jority Of the people believe that state
board OF health ought u be created as soon
as possible, in order tat i- may make reg
ulati9ns for the protection Of the state
against yellow fever during the coming
summer. The extra session viii co the
state something, but no efforts, however
costly they may be, should be spared to
keen the fever out Of the state.
The regular meer z Of the legislature is
in April, and If nothing were done to pro
vida health boards and health regulations
until then, there would noc be tina before
warm weather u enact such health laws as
are needed, and to provide tie necessary
machinery to operate them. 1t IS true that
health boards may not keep the fever out
Of Florida, but they Will make an effort to
do 50, and the chances are that it will be a
successful one. With good health boards
the state viii have better protection against
the fever than it now has, and the feeling Of
security among the people Will be much
stronger than it is at present If there
should be an epidemic in any part of the
state next summer the governor would
not feel that ne had been Indifferent to the
responsibility resting upon him.
There is no doubt that good county health
boards, under the direction of an efficient
state health board, by wise sanitary and
quarantine regulations, can do great deal
TO keep the state healthy. 1t is quite Ger
tain that with such boards the dangerous
policy of concealInent viii be impossible

James Sutherland, cotton CHASER, was
seated at a table with a party Of friends,
when William Dalton, jockey, came In,
accompanied by two chums, and occupied
a table opposite. Dalton had not been
there long before he began using obscene
language. Sutherland made a mild re-
quest Of Dalton to cease his vulgarity,
whcrcupon he was grossly insulIed. Ho
resented the insult by knocking Dalton
down. The latter was upon his feet again
in an instant aud started 10 clean out tho
house, when Sutherland picked up a
