A PHENOMENAL WINTER


''The weather" is, if anything, more Gu
rious than usual this winter. In this part
of the country we have had more winter
than for several years. In the West they
have had less. Minnesota and the Dakotas
are experiencing the warmest January
weather known to that vicinity for twenty
years, with the thermometer ranging from
go to SO degrees in the shade. A basket
picnic has been held at Ainto, N. D., and
there is not a particle of snow at any
point for five hundred miles westward
from St. Paul.
In Europe, and especially in the western
part, the winter has been terrible one.
In England much delay has been caused to
shipping by ice-bound harbors, and many
people, especially in the country districts,
have been sadly afflicted by the cold. Sew
eral instances of extreme suffering and
even death are reported, among them the
case of a woman who. died from the effects
of the cold in railroad car in the city of
London. In France the cold wave has
been 30 severe that in Paris fires by the
hundred have been lighted by the authori-
ties in the streets, and government per-
mission has been given to the poor to ap-
propriate for fnel the dead wood in
the forests. The French harbors and
rivers are frozen sohdly, and throughout
Germany and Switzerland a similar state
of affairs is reported. Even in Spain,
Portugal and Italy the distress is unprece-
dented, 30 far any record discloses.
Wolves have come literally to the doors of
many houses, and the rivers Tagus and
Ebro are frozen over, the latter with ice
nineteen inches thick. And as strange as
any other information is the dispatch from
Athens reporting heavy snowstorms
throughout Greece. But it is not only in
Europe that the sudden cold wave has
asserted itself, for Algiers has felt it's
shock and in the mountain regions heavy
SHOWS have fallen upon the astonished
and brought great suffering
both to them and the French African
troops.
Many interesting and learned theories
have been set forth to account for these
phenomena. It is, however, of course i'm
possible to tell what is going on. At this
rate it is possible that even the glorious
climate of California may change before

Beer amounts to something in Germany.
Germany has 9,275 breweries in operation,
against 1858 in January, 1890. The total
beer product of the whole country last
year was $685., ,O73,O0o quarts, against
4 ,76O, ,293, 300 in the preceding year. The
consumption per capita was 1868 quarts,
against 97.9 quarts in the preceding year.
The largest brewery in Germany paid last
year q tax of s5O. 1000.
Queen Lilinokaiani, who succeeds Kala-
kaua on the Hawaiian throne, is fiftytwo
years old. She is an amiable and very in

and music. She is stately in appearance
and has dignifed carriage, but of late
years she has become rather stout. She is
animated and interesting in conversation,
speaking in the low and musical tones that
are peculiar to her race. She speaks Eng

The.county commissioners of Massachu-
setts has decided that the dog is not to be
considered domestic animal. The ques-
ton of the exact status of dogs has arisen
under the statute relating to the damage
/ done by them, and the vital point lies in
the first clause, which reads as follows:
"Whoever suffers loss by the worrying,
manning or killing of his sheep, lambs,
fowls or other domestic animals by dogs, .
etc. Under cover of the phrase ''othel
domestic animals" claims have actually
been brought in Massachusetts, for dam
ages done to one dog by another.
We are apt to think that no times arr
like the good old times, but perhaps things
were no better then than they are now

'This very lazy body of Lawmakers has
adjourned at last, and we hope for the
| credit of the State, that another such may
never be elected by the people. Business
has called us to Hartford repeatedly dur
ing the session, where we have had con-
siderable opportunity for observation, and
we believe all who have been spectators of
the action of the legislators, will bear us
witness that more contemplate pack of
mushroom politicians and unblushing

Nothing, positively nothing that should

days. But what else could be expected of

have ever heard escape the lips of man,
have been uttered by some of these very
law-givers, for the very respected and
moral State of Connecticut"
A London paper relates q queer Incl
dent that happened in a Welsh church
the other Sunday. The rector began to
rebuke his people in severe, terms for not
attending Sunday morning service, and
impartially included his own daughters in
the rebuke. "Whereupon, to his aston
ishment," says the story, cup jumped one
of his daughters and told the people that
her father was a man who, when he first
woke, could not rise unless his hot water
was brought and the towel was placed
under his nose. She related how boots
had to be cleaned, fires lighted, and the
breakfast prepared, and then went ON to
describe how the worthy clergyman re-
quired his book and his coat and his
gloves and his hat and his stick and-his
cake and his wine, before he was ready to
start to his work. This was all detailed
with minuteness and volubility. The
reverend father kept no servant, and there
was the household work to be done, and,
besides, he insisted upon hot dinner
served with puctuality. Under these
circumstances, the lady pleaded, was it
possible for her to get to worship on a
Sunday morning. The sympathies of the
audience were with the daughter"

NEW HAVEN, Conn January, 1891.
Mrs. WIDE) A(wAKE) HoUsEKEEPER-
Dear Madam:
We wish to impress upon your mind
the fact that we are doing COMPLETE House
Furnishing business. So many people every day
kindly favor us with their orders for Furniture
who exclaim with much surprise, What do
you keep CARPETS If had known that /
could have saved myself much trouble and ex-
pense." And still others are much surprised
when they visit our kitchen department to learn
that we have full line of STOVES and RAN
GEES, as well as CROCKERY and TINWARE.
Customer after customer gives utterance to the
plaintive lament: ''If had only known that
you kept these things could have done so much
better here
For the last time permit us to call your atten-
tion to the fact that this month are making
SPECIAL PRICES way below value. Very many
of our customers are selecting Carpets and Fur
niture for future use because of the lower prices
now obtainable. Our advice to you is Do not
delay, but come at once and make your selec-
tions. If we can't convince you Of the wisdom
of this course we will pay you for your time and
trouble.
With best wishes, we are,
Yours very truly,
