really remarkable In the period during
which the records have been kept-more
than a quarter Of a century, as previous
ly stated-only two days in January have
seen a higher maximum, and then there
was margin of but one degree. On
Jan. /, 1897, and on Jan. "a, 1879, the tenn
rerature was 40 degrees. On two other
occasions the record Of Jan. 6, 1900, has
been equaIed by other days in the same
month. The high point on Jan. Is, 1880.
and on Jan. 80, 1872 was 4S degrees. just
equal to the suns best on Jan. 6, 1900.
The comparison between January, 1892
and January, 1900 shows that the opening
month last year was not really so cold
as popular memory has it. In several
cases, as will be seen from the chart, the
days last year were warmer than the
corresponding ones from the present
month. On Jan. 2, 1899, the maximum
temperature was the same as for Jan.
2, 1900, and on Jan. the figures of a
year ago were the higher. Then the tenn
perature last season took sudden drop,
and until Jan. II the maximums for 1900
are far above those of 1899. On Jan. IL,
1899, however, the maximum was 80 de-
grees, equal to the best previous record
for the day, made in 1878. On Jan. u this
year the maximum was II degrees under
this mark, at % degrees above zero. Again
on jan 10 the maximum for 1899 was
higher than for 1900.
BY way of contrast. few minimum
figures are interesting. The lowest tenn
perature for January Of which the wealth
er department has a record was Jan.
81, 1883, back In the carnival days, when
the mercury dropped to Al degrees below
zero. For nearly every day Of the month
there is a record of cold more intense
than 20 degrees below zero, the one ex-
ception being Jan. 49, The coolest record
for that day was made in 1886, when the
thermometer marked IS degrees below
zero at the lowest point. The greater
part of the low records were made in
the '70s and sos, the ten years from 1890
TO 1900 holding but three daily records.
The coolest temperature recorded for Jan.
10 was in 1882, 20 degrees below zero; for
Jan. %, in 1887, 20 degrees below zero, and
for JAN &C. in 1897, "a degrees below zero.
The coolest January on record was 1875,
when the average temperature for the
month was degrees below zero. The
thermometer during the month in that
year never went above % degrees above
zero, while the minimum was 80 degrees
below the zero mark.
In the mild January of 1880 the highest
temperature was As degrees on the 18th,
and the minimum was 4 degrees below.
The average temperature, as stated above,
was &c degrees above zero.

CRUSADERS DRAMATIC CLUB,
1t Is ReOrganzed With Some Strong
Amateurs Added

The Crusaders Dramatic club, well
known in this city as the leading club of
st. Paul., have reorganized and are sup
ported by the best amateurs in the city.
The club has several engagements to pre-
sent a play for the benefit of different
churches of this city and will produce one
in the near future, which will surpass
anything they have heretofore given The
director, Mr.. Edward Corcoran, has sew
eral pretty plays in his repertory, and 1t
will be decided soon what the club in
tends giving. Last winter the club pre-
scented "a White Mountain Boy" at Mo-
Fart hall, for the bent of st. Louis church,
and a few weeks afterward were request
ed by the Modern Woodmen Of America
to reproduce the play. This request was
granted, it being a success on both occa-
sions, those who participated having done
themselves credit. Later on in the season
they gave the well known little comedy,
"Our Boys" which has been frequently
presented by other amateur dramatic
clubs, but 1t is said this club was the
the only one to do justice to the play.
Mr.. Ed Corcoran took the part of Old
Middlewick, Martin Brown as Sir JEFF
frey Champneys, Charles Maus Spear
the part of Charley, Middlewicks son, and
Philip Wagner played the part of Talbot
Chamneys, each one doing justice to his
part; George Early and Louis McQuillan
taking minor parts. Miss Agnes Young
played the part of Mary Melrose and
Marie Mullaney the part of Violet Melrose,
cousin to Mary. both parts having fallen
into proper hands. Emma Vervais took
the part of Clarissa Champneys to perfec-
ton, and Stella Vervais made the best
servant ever seen in this play.
The above mentioned. are still with the
club, and new names will be added later

The accompanying chart will make it
plain that the thaw of the first part Of
January was something to astonish even
the weather-wise oldest inhabitant. The
warmest January on the records Of the
weather department, covering a period of
twenty-seven years. was in 1880, when
the average temperature for the month
twas 26 degrees above zero. For the first
twenty days of January, $780, the average
temperature was just that fixed by the
record-breaking year. On three occasions
this month the daily temperature was
higher than any recorded for the CORE
on fourth day the highest previous
mark was equaled.
At no time during the first twenty days
Of the month did the average daily tenn
perature fall below the normal average,
The start was made upon even terms.
On Jan the average temperature was
Is degrees above zero, exactly the aver
age for that day based upon records for
more than a quarter of a century. From
that date the normal average and the
daily average parted company, January
averages for this year seeking higher
levels and sticking to them.
Up to Jan. no maximum records were
broken. On Jan. the highest tempera-
ture for the day was only q degrees
above zero, as compared with Jan. l, 1897,
when the temperature ran up to 49 de-
grees, the highest temperature recorded
in St Paul for any day in January since
official figures have been preserved. On
Jan. 2 and 8 the high mark moved up a
little toward the record-breaking point,
but really was not dangerously near q
new figure On Jan. the highest point
reached was % degrees, as compared with
43 degrees on Jan. 2, 1874. and on Jan. 5
the hottest portion of the day was some
IS degrees colder than the mark recorded
on the corresponding day In 1880. On
Jan. 4 there was a maximum of &c degrees
as contrasted with Al degrees in 1898, the
record for the day. On Jan. the sun
went into the weather record business.
The highest previous mark ever touched
on that day, according to the official
records, was AZ degrees in 1882. Jan. 6,
1900 went this several degrees better and
recorded a high mark of 4S degrees.
Again on Jan. a new record was made
with Al degrees, two degrees above the
high point for the corresponding day in
the exceptionally warm winter of 1880.
From jan until Jan. IA the records
were safe, but on the last named date
they had narrow escape. The record
for Jan. IA, also held by the year 1870, of
81 degrees, was equaled, but not bettered.
From Jan "A to Jan. 10 there was chilly
spell, but on the 18th a new record fol
the day was made. The maximum was
4s degrees above zero. The highest mark
for any previous corresponding day was
AZ degrees on Jan. 10, 1881.
The high temperature of Jan. 6, wher
the mercury marked As degrees, as will
be seen by a glance at the chart, was

Many different kinds of material have
been suggested and used in surgery for
sutures and ligatures. The latest to be
suggested is celluloid thread which Is
being received with appreciation. This is
simply gray linen thread boiled in soda
solution and then sterilized and dried. lie
is then saturated with a special prepara-
ton of celuloid and heated in large dis
infectors. This is firm and Strong, with
out elasticity, SO that the knot does not
loosen. 1t is easily threaded, readily tied,
and, being hard and smooth, never soft
ems in the wound or absorbs secretions.
IT is probable that celluloid thread will
eventually supercede all other material
used for sutures and Hgatures, being
much less expensive and better adapted
to the needs Of the surgeon.
The German emperor has recently taken
a hand at medicine and ordered that his
own physician, as well as the empress
and their assistants, must be clean shay
en-, and the army surgeons will probably
soon be obliged to do the same. This
may at first seem arbitrary, but it is
an advance In the line of protective medi-
cine, since it is readily manifest that MI
crobes may attach themselves to a ply

carried by him to other persons. Inc

German and French authorities, and the

Waxham believes that the secret of
success in the climatic treatment of tu-
berculosis lies in an early diagnosis and
an early removal of the patient to suit
able climate The sending Of consump-
tive patients in the last stages Of the dis
ease to healthy resorts should be siren
uously opposed. When a patient first
reaches a health resort of high altitude
the hours of rest should be greatly pro-
longed and the amount of exercise re-
duced to minimum. If there IS fever
absolute rest should be insisted upon.
Sunshine and life out of doors are the
most important elements in the treatment
of consumption, and when patients are
unable to walk about they should be
kept out of doors in reclining Wneel
chairs or on stretchers.
Alcohol has recently been suggested as
an antidote in poisoning by carbolic acid.
DIR. Powell has proved that alcohol and
carbolic acid mixed in the cavity OF
wound would prevent corrosive action
of the acid without interfering with the
antiseptic qualities. Alcohol has been
successfully given in cases of poisoning
from taking carbolic acid. In a recent
case a young woman, for suicidal pur-
poses, took carbolic acid mixed with
whisky and thus unconsciously defeated
her purpose, for the ambulance surgeon
found that the whisky had neutralfzed
the poison, and the girl suffered no seri-
Gus injury.

Dr. True, Of Philadelphia, has made
extensive experiments with the juice of
the red tomato for the purpose of discov-
ering its virtues as a medicine. His IN
vestigations have led him to adopt it In
cases where the blood needs toning up.
Experiments have also been made by our
own government and that OF the Ger

discovered During the recent fiwar, with
Spain tomato Juice was used extensive

MEDICAL NOTES.

In an article upon the govt Adams be-
diet is Of more benefit than medicinal
treatment Fairly large quantities Of
water are useful and milk Is valuable
drink. Condiments are valuable aids to
digestion. but common salt should not be
taken in large quantities. Dried beans.
peas, etc., should be avoided. Corn is
the most valuable of vegetable foods.
Greens, potatoes, beets, lettuce, squash
es, celery. tomatoes and most fruits are
recommended. Fish is a very useful sub
stitute for more harmful meat. Fats,
starches and sugars, when properly cook
ed and digested, are not harmful. Medic
inally, piperazin may be given in doses Of
Is grains daily, or fluid extract of corn
silk, u an ounce. Nor should the value
of employment and pleasant exercise be
disregarded.
To wear gloves or not to wear gloves, is
a much debated question among surgeons.
Freeman believes that there is no method
by which the bare hands can be absolute
ly made surgically clean and claims that
the only reliable method of preventing
wound infection from contact with the
hands is to cover them with sterilized
rubber gloves. Cotton gloves may do
some good if frequently changed, but at
best they simply act as net to catch
the germs from the operators hands.
Prolonged soaking of the hands In hot
water, or better, sweating them in a
hot air oven, is inconvenient. and while
1t may dispose Of the micro-organisns
upon the surface it will not destroy
those in the folds Of the skin and be-
meath the nails Schloffer says that
Wolfer, of Prague, uses leather gloves OF
moderate thickness, rendered sterile by
being soaked with soap and hot water
and placed in q 5 per cent lysol solution
for at least two weeks and put on the
hands while still wet. These, as well as
rubber gloves, to some extent, destroy the
tactile sense Of the fingers.
In spite of the fact that the danger
Of contagion from certain diseases Is
