cellent, but the editor would be in
cIined to interpret the phenomenon
somewhat differently. The general
movement OF the population in the
past century has been from the Allan
tic states westward, and from the
country to the city, or quite opposite
to the movement suggested by our
correspondent. In fact, we find no
real agreement in the so-called pop
ular traditions with regard to the
weather. We have met with quite as
many persons who tn nix the winters
are more severe than formerly. Every
thing seems to depend upon how and
where the oldest inhabitant" lived
when he was boy as compared with
his present condition The average
climate of New England so far as the
weather is concerned has not ap-
preciably changed since the days
when her oldest forest trees were
young saplings, and that carries us
back nearly 500 years.

NOVELTIES IN GLOVES.

The severely plain glove is not
gaining in favor, according to the
amiable head of the glove department
in one of the leading stores here.
There is demand for fancy stitching
and trimmings for clasps and hooks
instead of buttons and decided pref
erence for pale tans and greys and
deep Russian green for the street and
for light yellows, pearl shades, pink
and green for evening wear. Novel
ties are out in tan, with pink stitch
ing, black with yellow, yellow with
lavender and OK blood with green,
The lambskin two-clasp glove in all
colors is the correct thing to wear with
tailor-made costumes. An old glove
that is to be introduced for evening
wear is of suede to the wrist. From
the wrist to above the elbow it is a
lace run through with narrow rib
bons. In some cases these ribbons
are spangled with sequins The glove
is secured at the top by ribbons run
through a beading of embroidery and
tied in bow.

EsQuemeling might have earned
salary as a listener.
1t was not long before his intense
admiration of the buccanneer and their
7 e. formances began to produce in him
the feeling that these great exploits
should not be lest to the world and
so he set about writing their. lives
ard adventures.
He rema ned with the pirates for
several years, and during that time
worked very industriously getting
together material for his history.
When he returned to his own country
in 1872, he there completed a book
which he called, "The Buccaneers of
America; or The True Account of the
Most remarkable Assaults Commit
ted Of Late Years upon the Coasts of
the west Indies by the Buccaneers, etc.
By John Esquemeling, One of the
buccaneers, Who Was Present at
Those Tragedies
From this tile it is probable that,
in the capacity Of reporter, our liter
airy pirate accompanied his comrades
, on their various voyages and assaults;
and although he states he was present
at many OF "those tragedies he
makes no reference to any deeds of
valor Or cruelty performed by him
self, which shows him to have BEEN al
wonderfully conscientious historian.
There are persons, however, who
doubt his impartiality, because, as he
liked the French, he always gave the
pirates of that nationality the credit
for most of the bravery displayed on
their expeditions, and all of the
magnanimity and courtesy, if there
happened to be any; while the surli-
ness, brutality, and extraordinary
wickedness were all ascribed to the
English.

Berlin, Feb 20.-The interest in the
condition of the empress Of Germany
is confined not alone to the country
over which her royal spouse rules, but
extends to every part of Europe, and
TO wherever the story of this famous
mother of kings" is known. There
are those who assert that she is dying
of a broken heart, and others again
insist that this is an error and that
the home life of the German royal
couple is Of the happiest nature. Per-
haps this latter view is after all, the
correct one for the emperor has just
presented his ailing wife with a gift,
the value of which runs deep into the
thousands. It is a bracelet which con-
tains the miniatures of all the royal
children, with that of the emperor

CLIMATE NOT CHANGING.

A correspondent in Mortified,
Mass, desires our opinion on the
question, "Were the winters of fifty
or seventy-fve years ago much
colder, or were the snowfalls deeper
than at present? The opinion is wide
ly held that the winters were colder
and the snowfalls deeper, but I can
find nothing to warrant the belief
except that in the first part of the
century much larger percentage of
the population lived in the hill towns
or in the interior, which are both
colder than the valley Or the coast
towns"
On the general question as to ap-
probable changes in climate the edi-
tors opinion is that there has been
no such change in any respect what
ever SO far as meteorology proper is
concerned, says Prof. Cleveland Able,
in The Monthly Weather Review. If
we divide our records of the weather
recorded in North America since the
days of Columbus mo two periods,
viz, before and after the year 1900
we shall find that every popularity,
such as rem 3rkable s5orms, winds,
rains floods, frosts, ETC., recorded in
the current century can be matched
by a corresponding remarkable event
before the year 1900. The popular
impressions alluded to by our CORES
pondent result almost entirely from
the impel feet Ons of our records and
especially of our memories. There
is a large class Of persons whose
habits Of thought are SO crude that
when they experience any very re-
markable weather they jump to the
conclusion that the climate has
changed, forgetting that they them
selves have had such limited per-
sonal experience tn t they are not
fair judgs of the weather over the
whole country or of the climate of a
century.
Our correspondent seems to suggest
that certain change in the habits of
the pecp'e, such as the removal from
the interior to the coast, or from for
estg to prairfes, or from country to
city, or vice versa, will partly account
for widespread errors in respect to
the climate. The suggestion is ex-

\ MILD-MANNERED PIRATE.
An ex-CIerk Who Joined the Sea
RoVers of the Spanish Main.

The Buccaneers Of Our Coast" is
the title of a series of narrative
sketches that Frank R. Stockton is
writing for st. Nicholas. In the Feb
ruary number, in speaking of John
,Esquemeling, who joined the bucca-
nee1s and became their historian,
Mr.. Stockton says:
1t must have been a strange thing
for man accustomed to pens and
ink, to yard-sticks and scales, to offer
to enroll himself in a company of
bloody, big-bearded pirates; but man
must eat, and buccaneering was the
only profession open to our ex-clerk.
For some reason or other, certainly
not on account of his bravery and
daring, Esquemeling was very well
received by the pirates of Tortuga
Perhaps they liked him because he
Was mild-mannered man, and so
different from themselves.
AS to Esquemeling himself, he soon
came to entertain the highest opinions
OF his pirate companions. He looked
upon the buccaneers who had dis
tinguished themselves, as great
heroes; and it must have been ex-
tremely gratifying to those savage
fellows to tell Esquemeling all the
wonderful things they had done
