Show Europe's Suffering Poo;. s The suffering aiuuug ttiw iiondon poor this winter is not so great as was expected, ex-pected, says a correspondent. It has been about an average winter for the unemployed. There has been only about a week of severe weather, which fact has greatly mitigated suffering. London is now rejoicing in pleasant skies and springlike air, influences under which the grass has been always green, and Bhrubs are now putting out their leaves, and tiees are beginning to bud. A very different story comes from eastern Europe. In districts in Russia the winter is so severe that wolves are unusually fierce. The other day at Saratoff a peasant woman walking neai the village was surrounded and devoured de-voured by a pack of nine wolves. Another An-other peasant going to market was set upon by a pack of wolves and torn to shreds. Nothing was left of man and horse but a few bones and tufts of hair. |
