WINTERS COLDER?
So l-i Kurope, While Ours Aro
Growing Warmer.
It is often asked, regarding the sea
sons, whether they alter from year to
year, whether there is a positive change
in climate from century to century.
The general opinion seems to be, ac
cording to the New York Press, that
the springs and summers atfi cooler
than they were once, and that the win
ters are less cold.
The reeordsof thermotnetrieal obser
vations showth.-.t the temperature of
the month of May is diminishing, but
that the temperature of the year, taken
together, rather tends to increase.
Taking into consideration n period of
Gfty or sixty inm-e years, there has been
observed an actual diminution of the
mean temperature in the climate of
France. l!ut observing a longer period
comparing, for example, the earliest
centuries of French history with the
present time no sensible difference of
the seasons can be established.
For example, the Roman emperor,
Julian, was very fond of living at l'nris,
and about A. 1). 300 ho made several
long sojourns in that city. In his Mis
opogon he relates that ho was greatly
surprised one fine morning to see the
Seine stopped in its course and its
waters changed into blocks of marble.
So we see that there was at that time.
as well as to-dy, winters severe enough
to freeze the rivers, nnd that the cli
mate has not changed much if any.
Perhaps the men of tho present time
have a more sensitive epidermis than
had their hardy ancestors.

'rSOME FAMOUS OLD WO MEN,
The Conntesa of Desmond Lived to Be
145 and Then Died by an Accident.
It is an acknowledged fact that a
mat acre is attained by women of tener
than bv men. Tissot, with what the'
St. Louis Post-Dispatch calls doubtful
gallantry, accounts for this by deolar
ing that the large amount of talking
for which women are famous is a very
healthy exercise and promotes the cir
culation of the blood without overex
erting the organs.. The true reason,
probably, lies in the quieter and more
regular life usually led by women,
whose nervous system and brains are
consequently not worn out so quickly,
as a rule, as those of men. One of the
most famous of female centenarians
was the countess of Desmond, who
lived to be one hundred and forty-live
and died in the reign of James I. from
the effects of an accident. This won
derful woman found herself at the age
of one hundred so lively and strong as
to be able to take part in a danec, and
when she was one hundred and forty
she traveled all the way from Ilristol to
London no trifling journey iu those
days in order to attend personally to
some business affairs.
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown into the shade by a French
woman, Marie Irion, who died in St.
Colombo in June, 1S5S, it is said, at the
wonderful age of one hundred and Qfty-eight-
Toward the end of her life she
lived exclusively on goat's milk and
cheese. Although her body was so
shrunk that sho weighed only forty-six
pounds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the last-
It is an extraordinary but incon
testable fact that some women at the
age when most people die undergo a
sort of natural process of rejuvenation
the hair and teeth grow again, the
wrinkles disappear from the skin, and
sight and hearing reacquire their
former sharpness. A marquise de Mir-
nbeau is an exnmnle of this rare and re

DIGGING FOR FISH.
Novel Way of Catching Them la Vogne In
Oylon.
In some parts of Ceylon the natives
are accustomed to dig in the mud dur
ing the hot season for fishes, which are
found buried in the soft clay at a depth
of two feet or more. It is thus that the
curious animals hide themselves during
a period of torpidity.
More than oue species indigenous to
the island have this remarkable habit.,
which accounts for the appearance of
full-grown fishes in ponds which have
shortly before been entirely dried up.
This phenomenon was for a long tisue
regarded as an inexplicable mystery.
The creatures as they find their ac
customed element disappearing by evap
oration during the dry time of the year
bury themselves in the mud. sinking to
a depth at which they find sufficient
moisture to preserve life for months.
while the lwd of the poud above them
may perhaps become a hardened crust
dried and cracked by the heat of the
sun. As soon as the water comes again
they emerge and people take advantage
of the opportunity while they are still
floundering about in the shallows to ef
fect their capture in large numbers.

The jury in the suit of Laidlaw against
Russell Sage, the multi-millionaire, for
damages, was decided against Sage, the
jury giving plaintiff $25,000. It will be
remembered that Laidlaw was a clerk in
the office of Sage in Xew York at the
time that gentleman was visited by a
crank, who, demanding money and
being refused, exploded a dynamite
bomb he carried, killing himself and
wrecking the office. Sage himself was
unhurt, having seized Laidlaw and nsed
him as a buffer against the force of the
detonation. Laidlaw was seriously in
jured and was laid up for several months
in a hospital. Sage refused to recom
ienre or reward him and the suit fol
lowed.

have themselves solved a problem that
the government has been vainly trying
to solve at an enormous expenditure for
a century namely, how to keep the In

the Delaware Indians recently took the
Keeley enre at Kansas City, and the
leaders of ihe tribe, seeing that they
were fully relieved of their desire for
strong drink, have just issued an edict
that a member of the tribe caught un
der the influence of liquor will be sent
to a Keelev institute at once at thr-
