He became a Justice of the

of his poverty. The times,

for now men take their scats

Years of Cold in Europe. : &
. , ? ' * :<
The recent severely cold we?ther in J
Europe lias called forth the following
facts which appear in the Jouanal dea I
Debate: a
In 359 A. D. the Euxine was frozen a
over. I
Iii 508 the rivers of England were frozen
over fortwo months.
. In 557 the Black Sea was frozen over
fnv tn-ATitu rlotro nr>rJ in 7(S fhfl. lp.A ITtlS
eight feet thick. . - : < , |In
821 the Elbe, the Danube, and the J?
Seine were frozen during four weeks. '
In 1323 the Mediterranean was entirely .
frozen over. .< on g
In 1405 Tamerlane made tfn incursion I
into China, and lost his men, horses and .
camels by the excessive oold.< ?
In 1420 Paris experienced &o greatcold^
that the city was depopulated, and anK >
mals fed on corpses in the streets. '
In 1423, at Parish snow fell during- .
forty days and fdrty nightd' incessantly. ?
In 140J), in France and Germany, wine F
was frozen so hard that it was cutout in ?
blocks and sold by weight. ^
' In 1570 the intense cold lasted three
months, and all the fruit trees of Prov- '
ence ar.d Languedoc were destroyed. ?
In 1407 provisions and fuel became so *
scarce on account of cold in Paris, that ,

a sman ounuie iu kiiiuhu^-ujusu ,
forty cents. The cattle froze in their ^
stalls, and the Seine could bo crossed by ?
heavy carte. *' L"' *
In 1633 one-third of the popnlation of 7
Turenne died of hunger. The cold shap
lasted thirteen weeks.
1709 was a year of intense cold, all over ?
Europe, and mass could not be said for
many weeks in certain prov.ncesbecause
the wine could not be kept in a fluid ?
SldtC , .
In 1735, in Chinese Tartary, the ther- F
mometer fell to ninety-seven degrees be- ^
low zero?Fahrenheit. r
' 1740 was a winter of such rigor in Itus- ,,
sia that an ice: palace was constructed at ?
St Petersburg ol feet long and 17 wide. 5
Six ice cannon were mounted on the "j
walls, and'two ihorters foi bombs. The ^
cannon held balls of six pound woight,
were charged with powder, and discbar- P
f ed so that the balls pierceed a board
wo inches thick, at a distance of sixty j*
feet. Thecannondid not burst although .
its walls were less than ten inches in P
tlllctiuess. : > ' n
1765 was a year of intense cold, also j*
1783. Since that year the cold ha9 never "
been so great in Paris until the year 1S71, .
when, for the first time in a century,
Jack Frost came again to .the tuue, of T
twenty-oiie below zero centigrade.

Grt Leather One of the most: c
cruel tilings done is putting hard* frozen i{
iron bits into a horse's uiouth. It is not j
only painful, hut a daugerousact. Thus
a horse's ifaouth becomes frozen by the ; a
cold iron, several times a day, put in to it;!
each time causing these freezings to go 8
deeper and deepen-to end at last in exten- e
sire ulceration. Thinking and "humane
people avoid this by first warmihg the
nits; but this is much trouble, and some- u
timou lmnnnaihle na in nicht, work, like
staging and physicians'work. jSowallj
this is avoided by getting leather bits so j V
made that no metal snb.^ance can touch
the flash. Don't fail to try it.?Chili- '
