Mild Winters.

The continued mildness of the winter
has already produced one crop of the
most natural character-that is to say,
OF precedents. A continental collector
goes back so far as the year 1924, when
the orchards blossomed in the month of
March, and the vineyards in April to
1888, when the flower gardens were full
of bloom in January; and to 1856, when
the corn was in the ear at Easter. In the
next century we have 1869 without frost
or snow anywhere, and in 1899 a German
winter during which the stoves remained
unlighted. Following these, 1907 carries
us on in the chronicles of especial mild
ness till we come into living memory
with 1889 and 1855 as the dates of years
without winters. Whether the record is
likely to be of any use to Zadkiel or old
Moore in the department of political
meteorology is questionable, though the
three last named years were certainly
critical in their way, as denoting respect
lively the union of England and Scotland,
the reform bill and the birth of the Prus-
sian supremacy.
But it is noticeable that several of the
years in the list were closely connected
in date with winters of exceptional
severity. The mildness of 1924 was
compensated by the historic frost of the
next winter but one; and persons who
saw the gardens gay in January had to
cut their wine with hatchets before they
were much older The stovaloeo ,y;ntor
Of 1899 Immediately followed that of
1851, when the wolves, driven by the
cold, invaded the streets of Vienna in
search of food; and 1907 was followed
two years later by frost of three months
long. OF course, but little regularity is
observable about the comparisons; and
long intervals have frequently passed be-
tween the compensation of one extreme
by another. London Globe.

Ruskin's Insanity.

A very melancholy fact is the insanity
Of Ruskin, the greatest art critic of his
time. 1t seems that for years he has
hardly had friend or relative with
whom he was on speaking terms. For a
long time he has been noted for his irri.
liability and violent outbursts of anger.
That itself was an indication of the in
sane temperament. II is not pleasant
work, either, or task for which one
could be enyied, to spend fifty or sixty
years picking flaws in ones fellow men.

or woman crazy. - National Weekly.

The postage stamp will celebrate it,

The postage stamp will celebrate Its
fiftieth anniversary this year. As
everything in existence had begin
ming, so the postage stamp had to be in
vented, and this invention is due to the
printer James Chalmers, of Dundee,
who died in 1858, and who finally with
his system, the adhesive postage stamp,
conquered the whole civilized world.
AT first it was England who, fifty
years ago, introduced the postage stamp,
and who, according to a decree of De-
cember q 1889, issued the first stamps
for public, use on May 6, 1910. A year
later they were introduced in the
United States and Switzerland, and
again, a few years later in Bavaria Bel

Manitoba Not for Annexation.

Hon. F. Routledge, of Virden, Manito-
ba, when in Chicago day or two ago,
told reporter the talk Of annexation,
SO far as Manitoba is concerned, is all
bosh. "Those who talk of annexation" 1"
he added, shave no idea Of the local pa
trietism there is in Manitoba. The people
there are quite well satisfied with their
own government. No one at all familiar
with the temper of the people on this
matter will long entertain any thoughts
of annexation"

A sPECK OF HISTORY.

Or the History OF tho Specks ON Those
Bridgeport Ballots-The Count.
The Hartford Courant yesterday printed
a fac-simile of one of the Fifth ward
marked" ballots. The Courant says:
"The Case, Lockwood & Brainard COM
pany of this city printed the official ballots
for the republican party-about half a
million in all. Sixteen electros, just alike,
were put on the press SO as to give sixteen
tickets at each impression. Some partical
of composition lodged on one of the cleo
tros. How long it was there no one knows,
but as long as it lodged it took ink and
made this petty speck. The Courant has
had a ticket with speck on the word
Miles for congressman, but the speck does
not appear on the particular questioned
tickets. If the mark were intentional, if
it were in lead pencil, if it had been used
to spot voters, then the whole lot of tickets
ought to be rejected. But in fact it was
purely mechanical.
AS the Bridgeport Standard puts it,
"The situation with reference to the cleo
ton of governor in this state is practically
unchanged. There is a slight nominal
majority for Morris with enough repnbli-
can and prohibition ballots thrown out to
defeat him. We presume that when the
proper authorities pronounce upon the
legality of the rejection of the ballots the
decision will be received as final"

HEIR MOST IN NEW HAVEN.

Makes Fiery Arnarchist speech |
Last NfGht-YaIe students ON Hand |
and the Police.
A strange anomaly was that crowd last
evening which gathered, something like
300 in number in the labor lyceum, to
listen to John Most The attendance was
made uPof men, women and students,
the last named in no small body. It is
quite surprising what nursery for
Anarchy Yale is becoming to be.
Everything seemed to go wrong for q
time last evening and it was nearly
o'clock before the fuss began. The COM
mitteee had tried to obtain Aurora hall
but were refused the use of the hall. 1t
was long time before the decorating
committee could arrange the table on the
stage and the calico draw curtains. At
the rear of the stage was frame con-
tanning the pictures of the "Martyred in
the Cause at Chicago" It was draped in
black and fiery red. Pamphlet histories
of that memorable Chicago riot were dis
tributed freely
At first burst of enthusiastic applause
was given as the orator entered the room,
painting with his exercise of climbing sew
eral pairs of rickety stairs. After song
by the Harugari Singing society Most was
introduced by Peter Siebold. To suit the
makeup of his audience Most gave an adj
dress first in English, then in his native
tongue. His former attempt was weak
when compared with the latter, from the
fact of his inability to find ndjectives
strong enough, but when he began in Ger
man the scene was different. Regarding
that we'll known subject, the Chicago
riots of November, 1887, Most had much
to say, as usual, IN the way of denuneia-
ton. That bomb, he said, was good
thing, because as it was only seven police
men, were killed, whereas had it
not been for that. the policemen might
have murdered two hundred Of the
people. He claimed that the jury received
$50, 900 for their share and that all the
witnesses were perjurers. He accused
Powderly and Henry George of being as
much to blame as the prosecuting attor-
ney, for had they come out and said what
they knew conviction would never have
followed.
The execution of the martyrs" did not
stamp out anarchy, he said, but the spirit
of anarchy to-day exists stronger than ever
in every civilized country. There is moth
ing for mankind to do but advance toward
it, state of non-government. IT am an
anarchist and will work in that line sc
long as am able"
1t had been expected that Mrs. Parsons
would be present to speak, but she was
| unable, having been only released from
confinement last evening. Tho police
kept sharp eye on the meeting.
