A Warm England.

The extremes of outdoor temperature
in England vary more than 1913 degrees.
The greatest heat probably on record
was registered in the valley Of the
Midway ON July %, 1858, when the
thermometer at Tonbridge stood in the
shade at 100a degrees F. Eleven years
later, in December, 1879, 55 degrees OF
frost were recorded at Blackadder, in
Berwickshire-i. e., 23 degrees below
zero f. More remarka BILE, however,
than the heat in summer were the hot
winters of 174S and 1857 and the warm
Januarys of 1877, 1884 and 1898.-

Sentence Of Mrs. Barrow.
ext 10 McCracken n Bro

Mrs Addie Barrow was arraigned be-
fore Justice Werner in the criminal
branch of the Supreme Court in New
York last Tuesday, on a charge OF be
ing one of the kidnappers Of the child,
Marion Clarke. She pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced to a term of twelve
wears and ten months imprisonment.
Her counsel, Mr.. Howe, made strong
plea for clemency. while District Attor-
new Gardiner asked for the full penalty.
1T is usual and proper where a plea
of guilty is entered by a defendant and
the expense Of trial is saved to the
community to show leniency, began
the iustice This, however, is an ex-
traordinary case. 1t is case so impor'
tant and so unusual that no custom or
sentiment should interfere with the
sentence. This defendant has been
shown to be utterly devoid of the fine
and tender feelings that are the distin'
gnishing characteristics Of her sex. The
crime of which she is guilty has spread
fear and distrust throughout the land.
and il is due to the parents and the
children of this country that such pun
ishment should be inflicted as would
not only prevent her from committing
such a crime again, but serve as
warning to others not to trafiic In hu-
man flesh and blood
