Remarkably Cold Weather.

The extraordinary cold now being
experienced nearly all over the North
ern continent has caused us to spend
some time in locking up data con-
ccrnlng the stalwart winters OF oldcn
times. Here are the results OF this re-
search: In February. 764. the weather
was unusually severe all over Europe:
at Constantinople the Two seas were
entirely frozen over for Il period of 20
days. In 1868 the Thames was solidly

a number Of the leading Demo
cratic papers of the country have
criticised Mr.. Cleveland because he
attended the f uneral OF ex- President
Hayes; but, greatly to their credit,
a majority of the great Democratic
dailies commend his course. A
pathetic side to the affair is now re
vcaled, which may cause these un-
generous dailics to rclent. 1t trans
pires that Gen. Hayes, shortly after
Mr.. Cleveland was elected, wrote
him letter of congratulation and
promised to be present at his inau-
guration. Mr.. Cleveland, when he
heard OF the death of the ex-presi-
dent WAS deeply moved, and aban-
doned all his affairs to attend the
obscquies at Fremont. a report,
said to be based on excellent au-
thority has it that Gen. Hayes vot-

Ell or not the report be true, GER
tain it is that the course OF Mr..
Cleveland meets the approval of a
great majority Of his party.

up the pins to make J. s. Clarkson the
republican candidate for President in
1896. The idea is not taken very
kindly by the Harrison republicans

Spinal. FEg;NlieaB'TES.

The prevalence Of this epidemic has
led to !. general enquiry rs to its ori-
gin. symptoms and mode OF treatment
and the following extract from Cham
ber's encyclopaedia may be relied upon
as giving a reliable resume Of the
disease, being obtained from some of
the most noted medical men of to-day.
ORIGIN.
DjssuSes Of uc Br0in.-lntammatton
(acute) OF the brain (plrenstjs, or popu-
larry, BRAIN jcvcr) rarely occurs seperate-
ly, and can be scarcely be distinguish
ed from inflammation Of its membranes
(Ueningitis). According to Dr.. Wat
son Of London, when the disease begins
in the latter, the first remarkable symp-
tom is Il convulsion fit; when in the
brain substance itself, nausea and
vomiting generally usher in the at
tack.
SYMPTOMS.
In the first stage, there is a rapid
pulse severe headacl, the eyes sutfused
and their pupils contracted IA small
point. very intolerant Of light. The
patient is constantly watchful, and
much annoyed by even ordinary sounds.
Then furious delirium sets in, and
lasts for a period, varying with the
case, generally from twelve to forty
eight hours; when it is succeeded by
collapse, in which the patient lies-his
face devoid of color, and covered with
cold sweat-in state of stupor. If
reused, he now speaks with slow, indis-
tince utterance: his pupils are now di-
lated, and Indifferent to the brightest
light; and the loudest speaking ceases
to annoy him, The stupor increases
with the general prostration, and con-
tinues till death. After death, we
find serous fluid upon and in the brain,
deposits of lymph, thickening of the
membranes, and softening Of the brain
substance itself.
TREATMENT.

Eantimony aud digitalis, tosuhdne the

ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
Crusaders Celebrate the Absti-
nence Unions Anniver-
Sary.
The Occasions Fitting ObserV-
ance With Song and
Speech.

Cretin hall was absolutely unable to
contain the numbers who sought ad mis-
ion last night, the occasion being tn e
eleventh anniversary of the organlza-
ton of the Crusaders Total Abstinence
society. A great many had to be turned
away. 1t was enc of the greatest tenn
perance meetings ever held here. T1e
address of the evening was to have been
delivered by Rev. J. M. Cleary, of Min
neapoliS, but at the last moment he tele-
phoned that, on account Of sickness, it
would be impossible for him to attend.
His place was we'll filled, however, by
Father HeffrOn, who spoke with more
than his usual elOquence and earnest
ness. An agreeable feature of the pro-
gramme was the fact that every musical
number was contributed by the mem
bers of the society.
The chair was occupied by t. F.
Naughton, the president of the society,
who, in a well-delivered opening ad-
dress, spoke of the advantages the So
ciety offered to young men-benetts
paid to members in case of sickness or
disability; a reading room, club room
and gymnasium open every evening;
first-class instruction IN vocal music
all free of charge. The society is now
the largest Total Abstinence Organiza-
ton in the country west of the Allie
ghany mountains. A quartette COM
posed of MesSrs. Gehan. KeaIing, Nor
row and Farley sang greeting; F. X.
Hardy gave piano solo; j. f. Gehan
rendered vocal solo in his usual
style; J. P. O'NeiIl furnished charm
ing flute solo; fiue violin solo was
given by j. r. O'Reilly; vocal
solo by e. f. Morrow came next; then
quartette composed of Messrs. Gehan,
Keating, Morrow and Joyce, and last,
but more interesting perhaps, chorus
of twenty-five voices by members of the
society.
Father Heffron, in expressing his
pleasure at seeing so many present, said
that that of itself was the most eloquent
address possible-no words from pulpit
or platform could have the effect that
such an audience furnished. Every
avenue or greatness on earth and i'll
heaven is open to young men.
II they fail the more dread
full their failure = the greater
will be their punishment. By the fool
ish practice of moderate drinking people
set the example of drinking to the weak,
who thus become drunkardS. Sad that
so few men raised i'll st. Paul are to be
found in the temperance societies. Let
us educate our children and insure the
future.
Rev. T. S. Gibbons, spiritual director
of the archdiocesan union, also made a
few remarks. On the stage beside the
chairman were Rev. Fathers Hetfron,
Gibbons and McCabe; A. w. Gutridge,
president Of the archdiOcesan union;
j. r. O'Reilly, county president; NJ. E.
Fitzgerald, county secretary; d. p.
Seaman, president of st. Patrick's Total
Abstinence society, and II. j. Doyle,
chairman of committee in charge of the
pro gramme.

A we'll regulated linen closet is a
real comfort which should be in
every house. And the closet should be
supplied with proper stock.
The term 'linen" covers all articles
used for table, bed and toilet purposes
of whatsoever fabric they may be. The
cotton, linen and silk are kept apart for
convenience in selections.
Choose suitable closet that is not To-
Gated where the fabrics will absorb
dampness. See that the shelves are
wide enough to accommodate your
stock. Cover them with cheese cloth.
either white or cOlored. Secure the
covers to the shelves by means of small
headed brass nails. Each kind of linen
should be kept separate, a shelf being
devoted to each sort. Have book and
schedule your supply, and keep the
book in the closet.
In computing your stock allow four
sheets, six piilOw-SlipS, two pair OF
ShamS, and two spreads as necessities
for each bed. Then add as many more
as your finances will permit. Allow
four bath towels and three fine towels
for the use of each member of the fam
lily for a week. Keep your Kitchen
towels by themselves. allowing seven
crash towels for hand use, twelve soft
crash towels for dish use, and five glass
towels. In napkins have two dozen
each for breakfast, dinner, luncheon
and tea kinds, with half dozen dOilie
to match each set. Select two luncheon
cloths, two breakfast-clOthS, two dinner
cloths. one tea-cloth. and f0nr tr ay
cloths to add to the table supply. You
will then have a sufficient stock TO carry
you through company" week, with one
laundry day to keep things tidy. Of
course the bed-linen will carry through
a longer time than the linen in constant
Use.
Have as many pretty bureau, shelf,
stand and other covers as you may.
If you put these household things in
a closet look them over every month
and mend all broken stitches and rents.
as soon as an article becomes worn be-
yond use replace it, and your stock Will
be kept up without apparent effort in
selection or expenditure of large sums
OF money.
If you have never kept this kind of
closet, you Will be surprised with the
satisfaction it affords in looking over
your supply and keeping it III order.
