Spring Usurps Role of
Winter in Denmark
COPENHAGEN, March 23.—This
is the mildest winter Denmark has
known in three centuries Not once
has the temperature fallen below the
freezing point in the daytime, and the
nights wheu this has been the case
have been exceedingly rare. General
ly the month of February is the
coldest in Denmark; this year it has
had the character of an early spring.
The mild winter has been blessed by
everybody, except the furriers and
the coal merchants. Particularly the
latter are complaining bitterly. They
| are losing a great deal of money, they
say.
Cities like Helsingfors, Reval and
Riga, which are usually buried in the
snow at this time of the year, have
up to the present experienced noth
ing more wintry than a few nights
of frost.
i Successful experiments in mind
reading by Prof Murray and his
daughter are reported from London.
If he can read his daughter’s mind
he is probably the only father who
can do such a stunt.
A Boston doctor who prescribed an
ocean voyage and asked the patient
his business, was dazed by the ie

Another thing that is very good for
the complexion is to let it alone.
