in such cases: "The time for quaran-

a Winter Without Precedent.

1t is doubtful ifthere liveth a white
man who has before seen such Sc
we're winter in Wisconsin as the one
now drawing to a close. In the north
ern part of the state genuine winter
set in early in November, while
| throughout the state in general Old
Boreas began his reign about the Goth
OF that month, and there has been
little or no let up since, though fully
100 days have elapsed, and during
that period there has been more zero
weather throughout the state than
ever recorded in its previous history.
However, there are possible advant-
on the whole there has been less
sickness, and the impression is gen
eral that "A winter so steadily cold for
over one hundred days will culmi-
nate in an early spring, and that
March will be genial and pleasant.
The time is remembered when
spring wheat in this state was sown
March 4th upon bed of snow, and Il
bountiful harvest of grain was one of
the blessings of that year. OF course
the weather defies all calculation,
for it is proverbially as uncertain as
the wind. and we must accept what
ever Providence thinks wise to deal
out to her children. The bills for fuel
have been frightiul this winter, but
there is hope that March, April and
May will give some compensation to
every householder for the consump-
ton of fuel during the winter. The
body of snow on the ground is Ger
tainly good for winter wheat, and
perhaps the next wheat harvest in
Wisconsin will be more bountiful
than has happened in many years
past.

To the editor of the Tribune:

To the editor of the Tribune:
| | was much interested in an article
on the Y. NJ. G. "A. by "One of the
Boys" in your last issue, and while
appreciating the value of rooms such
as he describes, and knowing what
great advantages young men derive
from reading rooms and gymnasi-
ums, still l quite agree with you in
thinking that Mineral Point has
neither the wealth nor population
to support such an institution, even
supposIng it were possible to find a
person enterprising enough to make
the venture. AS for Sunday after
noon service, there is nothing to pre-
vent both old and young men from
assembling themselves together" in
any one of the five churches in the
city, built and consecrated to the
worship of Almighty God, and, |
venture to say, priest or pastor, as the
case may be, will give them most
hearty welcome.
Now, a reading room-that is diff
ferent. I is a necessity and it is OBJ
tainable. The public library is cen
trally located, well lighted and com
fortably heated in cold weather. For
economy's sake the Woman's Clgb
can only open it to the public two
nights "A week; but this room that
should always be accessible to the
people, and / understand the thing
could be managed for evenings, at
any rate, with an additional cost of
about fifty dollars year. We groan
about the temptations our boys are
nightly subjected to through the
line of saloons up and down Main
street, with their brilliantly lighted,
flower embellished windows, and yet
we are quite satisfied to have the Ii
brary windows, which are "cheek by
jowl" with the saloon, in dreary
darkness one-third Of the time. The
fact is, we talk very strenuously
about "the boy" II lis amusement, his
entertainment, his saving, are mat
tiers of great moment to US until our
time, money, or our labor is called
upon for aid in the grand work. Then
our response is often feeble and dila-
| tory, and fine work is left for others
to do. Mineral Point has one Of the
best small Libraries in the state and
| would suggest that rather than
start new enterprise we turn in
and support the old one; help the
Woman's Club to open "A nightly
reading room, and so help the not
always willing-io. be-saved boy.

SHIP FRUIT IN DUTCH PEAT
Delicate Tropical Products May Be
Taken Long Distances by Use
of P~reservative.

What is considered a highly i'm
portant discovery has just been
made in the matter of the ship
ment of fruits. 1t is believed that
a solution has finally been found
Of the problem of transporting
delicate tropical fruits long dis.
tances.
The experiments have been
made by a French company, under
the auspices of the French govern
ment. The shipments have been
made from Guiana and the island
of Guadeloupe, in the Lesser An
TILES, to France, and the outcome
is declared most satisfactory.
The secret of the new process is
the development of the fruit in a
particular kind of peat or turf,
that which is known as yellow
DulCu peat.
Pineapples, bananas, mangoes,
sapotas and other delicate fruits
have been taken when in perfectly
ripe condition, enyeloped in the
ibrous substance, and after sew
cal weeks spent in transportation
have arrived at their destination
in a perfectly fresh and sound con
dition.
Moist peat possesses a decided
and powerful %antiseptic property.
This is ascribed to the presence of
gallo acid and tannin. 1t is mani
tested not only in the perfect pres
ervation of ancient trees and of
leaves, fruits and the like, but
sometimes even of animal bodies.

LONG LIFE m TERRITORIES
Greatest Number Of oentenarians tx
ist in Districts Which Are Not
Yet States.

The pitiless logic of percent
ages, as applied to vital statistics,
falls short of accounting for one
fact in the census repOrts-the
longevity of residents of the few
remaining territories of the coun-
try.
Of the 100000 persons in the
population of the average Ameri-
can community, taking the whole
country through, there is just one
who reaches or exceeds the age of
100. AS the census cOmputers
prOsaicalls express it, "99,999
die before that time" One in 1OO,-
600, is, therefore, the percentage
Of centenarians in the United
States, but in Arizona it is ten
ten times as high as in the rest of
the country; and in New Mexico it
is nine-nine times as high as in
the other portions of the United
States. Some states-Arkansas,
Minnesota, Utah, Wyoming and
Idaho-have no centenarians.
Some states-Florida, California,
New Hampshire, South Carolina
and VermOnt-have a high rate Of
centenarians - three times as
large as the average in the other
states, but much below the figures
of Arizona and New Mexico.
There are few centenarians in
New England, but the number of
persons between the ages of IS
and 100 there are more than in any
other section of the United States,
and the two New England states
which are most noted on account
of their great number of old inhab.
itants are Vermont and Maine.
Massachusetts has a consider
able number, but the people of
Massachusetts, are generally of a
more progressive character than
those of the farming districts of
Vermont and Maine, and urban
life is not generally conducive to
longevity.
The large number of c%entena.
rians in the territories is to be
ascribed probably to favorable
climatic conditions, for both Ari-
iona and New Mexico enjoy celeb
rity as beneficial in pulmonary
ailments. The question of terri
torial organization has probably
nothing to do with it.
