All Err.

Reports from all over the United
States. with the exception Of the Pacific
coast. are burlened with complaints Of
the severity Of the winter. From tae
Philadelphia Times of recent date We
quote:
We have now had nearly a full month
of what is commonly called old fashioned
winter weather. The mild winters to
which we have been accustomed for
several wears past. nuke the present Sc
ver.. winter weather seem excessive.
The peculiar severity of the present
cold spell is in it's continuance. Anoth
er cold wave is just upon us. and there
is no prospect Of milder weather FOR seV-
eral DAYS to come.

the following dolcfui story:

TINY Watches,

The fancy for small watches is a
revival OF ancient fashion. 1t is
chronicled that bloody Queen Mary
possessed an octagon silver watch,
whose dial plate measured only nine
tenths of an inch in diameter. Her
unfortunate namesake, Mary, queen
of Scots, took pride in a small silver
deaths head that concealed a dial in
its throat. The works took the place
of brains, and We're wound up with
catgut. The lower jaw opened on
hinges to reveal the dial, and a small
ring in the top of the skull served to
attach the uncanny ornament to q
chatelaine. Jewellers Review.
