4 SnoyyStorm Indoora.

On a very clear, cold night an even
ing party was given in n salon in
Stockholm, Sweden. Many people We're
gathered together in Il single room, and
it became 50 warm in the course Of the
evening that several ladies complained
of feeling i'll.
An attempt was made to raise win
dow, but the Sashes had been frozen
in their place. and it was impossible to
move them.
In this situation. as it was absolutely
necessary that air should be admitted.
4 pane Of glass was smashed out. A
cold current at once rushed in. and at
the same instant flakes of snow We're
seen to fall to the floor in all parts Of
the room.
The entrance of n frosty current into
an atmosphere which was saturated
with moisture had produced Il snow

him in great distress. Two sisters, liv-
ing in the same house. had babies of
equal age, who 50 resembled each other
that their own mothers We're unable to
distinguish them when they were to-
gether. Now, it happened that by the
careleSSneSS of the nurses the children
had become mixed, and how were the
mothers to make sure that they receiv-
ed back their own infants?
But. perhaps" said the lawyer, the
children weren't changed at all"
''Oh. but there's no doubt they were
changed" said the physician.
''Are you sure Of itT'
"Perfectly."
"Well, if that's the case, why don't
you change them back again? | don't

Regarded As a Master
Stroke Of Diplomacy
CORONATION Ro BE
8sing Woven Out Of Cloth
Of Gold

London, Feb 15.--It is felt on all
sides that the alliance concluded with
Japan is masterpiece OF diplomacy
and an indication that Great Britain
does not propose to let her troubles in
South Africa shut her out from the
position she has always maintained as
the leading nation of the world. In
certain sections the alliance is very
favorable regarded and in other sec
tions on the continent it is looked up,
on with dread. The United States is
known to lend it's moral support to 1t
and to approve OF the principles 1T
stands for although the policy OF that
country does not permit i'oto make
any entangling foreign alliances.
The act prevents the partition OF
China and assures an open market
there for English and American
goods.
This city bestowed its highest dis
tinction on Hon Joseph Chamberlain,
the Colonial Secretary, Wednesday
when at the Guildhal in the pres.
ence Of large number of people II
presented him the freedom OF the city
