Storm at the Signal Station, Mt.
Washington.

Noticing that the sides of the summit were
strewed with boards, beams and debris of all
Sorts my guide explained that what saw was
the result of the great January gale, which
had demolished the large shed used as an en-
gine house, scattering the loose fragments far
and wide. begged him to give me his recol-
lection of it. ..
"During the forenoon preceding the gale we
observed nothing very unusual: but the clouds
kept sinking and sinking until the summit
was quite above them. Late in the afternoon
my comrade, Sergeant M--came to where 1
was lying sick and said There is going to be

By nine o'clock in the evening the wind had
increased to one hundred miles an hour, with
heavy sleet At midnight the velocity of the
storm was one hundred and twenty miles and
the exposed Thermometer recorded twenty

At this time the noise outside was deafening

screwed in the widow frame.

A Union of Hearts and Hands

The week in Portland has been occupied
by the meetings of two great Christian bod
les; the followers of Robert Browne and the
followers of George Fox. The disciples of
these teachers have fraternized; and two
sects,- never really wide apart in form of
church government, nor differing much, if
at all, in the essentials of Christian faith,-
have publicly dis regarded the non essentials
and each given the freedom of its meetings
house to the other. Each had its origin in
revolt against the alliance of Church and
State, and both now find that revolt bond
OF sympathy. An antagonism between the
two, regretted now by each, sprang UP in
the earlier years of our colonial history, and
injustice was done by the dominating sect.
That the old quarrel has been dismissed and
the estranged brothers are now friends, the
action of the two denominations demon
strates.
There never was real cause for dissension.
Both sects hold to the doctrinal opinions,
commonly called 'evangelicar'-t Trini-
ty, the atone lent, the resurrection from
the dead, the final Judgment, the inspira-
ton of the Scriptures, the depravity of hui
man nature. Both hold to the separation
OF Church and State; and both take pride,
in parad.ng as their apostles Englishmen of
humble origin who are now recognized in
all English-speaking countries as among the
ablest and purest and most efficient for good
OF the men of their times. Browne was
born in 1549, while young man withdrew
from the established confession, denying
priestly authority, and was driven to Hol-
land on account of his heresy. Fox, who
was born nearly a century later, in 1924,
went through with much the same expert
ence. He too, was dissenter from the es-
tablished church and prosecuted for his re-
calcitrancy The sects, wisely forgetting
the differences that have been between
them, proudly owning their obligations to
two of the greatest English heroes of Chris
tian theology-and with characteristic
steadfastness clinging to their own forms of
Worship and iscipliue--frankly acknowl-
edge the innaaterialisln of their differences
AID clasp hands over the minute gulf that
separates them. 1t is an action that honors
them both and yields nothing of the faith
and forms upon which each insists. Even
those who sympathize with neither; who are
Christians outside the lines of "evangeli-
calism'-or who wander aimlessly and
5lindly in the darkness of agnostcsm-
not refuse admirng tribute to this display
of Christian charity, the substance of the
shadow they are chasing.

THE Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune telegraphs to that paper
that it is reported that "the Virginia Bour
bons are greatly alarmed by fears that their
opponents will carry the State. Legislature
next November and elect an anti-Bourbon
to succeed Mr.. Johnston in the United
States Senate. While the Bourbon newspa-
pers in Virginia are engaged in trying to
make people believe that the anti-Bourbons
are doomed to overwhelming defeat, it is
learned from good authority that the Bour-
bon leaders have made overtures and are
striving to effect secret alliance with the
leaders of the Republican organization. 1t
is understoodNthat the Bour5ons are willing
to offer to elect General Wyckham, Re-
publican, to the Senate of the United States
as the price of Republican alliance in or
der to defeat the anti-Bourbons.''

THE Nation does not exhibit the pride
that all Americans-and patriotic immi-
grants fresh from the decks of Atlantic
steamers-ought to show at news of the
latest American victories over the effete dy-
nasties-human and equine, of the old
world, 1t says: The victory of Iroquois at
the Derby at England was followed on Sun
day by the victory of another American
horse, Foxhall, owned by Mr.. Keene, at the
French Derby-the "Grand Prix" of Paris
Foxhall was more truly an American horse
than Iroquois, as he was not only born in
this country, but both of his parents were
American. His triumph is, therefore, bet
ter calculated than Iroquois' to make the
European despots and their pampered NO.
bles quake in their shoes or boots. There
is no doubt, comic as it may seem to persons
in this country unfamiliar with the part
horse racing plays in the English social sys-
TEN, that these two American victories,
coming in the same year, will make deep
and not very exhilarating impression on the
English mind

MR.. WALTER CRANES FIRST OF MAY--AN IDYL
OF THE FAIRY FOLK.
The First of May. A Fairy Masque. Pre-
sented in a series of 80 Designs by Walter
Crane (Boston James r. Osgood & Co.:
Portland; Loring, Short & Harmony 1t is not
easy, having seen this delicious series of Illus
trations, to praise them enough. Perfect praise
OF these perfect things would be to point out
the clear beauty of the designs, to convey as
well as words might the delicate, subtle poetry
OF touch and suggestion, the unearthly and in
tangible charm, the lightness, the spirit, the
exquisite art of these sketches. Who sees
them, has for little space of time lived in the
golden age of the world. Surely Walter Crane
must have had vision of the morning-hour
OF the earth; and seen through some happy
chink in the wall that Time builds higher and
higher, old Already itself, with the dew on its
daisies, and sweet winds blowing from the
sources of the dawn. The poem, a thin aud
shining thread upon which these designs are
strung as seed-pearls, is dainty drama where
IN man and maid fall under fairy spells OF evil
and good, as they make merry for sake of the
Maytme The verse is full of fresh and poetic
SS-ASSAe,
OF which Mr.. Crane has fully availed himself
The designs have the simple and free out
line, the lavish but perfect ornamentation, the
abounding sense of delicate delight that make
the fresco-painting of Pompeii ''as lively
llmned' to our eyes to-day as they were to the
eyes long since sealed with the ashes that
ruined the ancient city. The drawings have
the grace OF classic designs, together with many
traits OF the modern renaissance Of medieval
art--of which Mr.. Crane is one of the leaders
and the grotesque humor, here most deli
cately employed, is also of Gothic origin The
1.-THE and weightless limbs and lovely faces of
the fairies, the unholy creatures of evil, the
quaint animals, the scattered flowers and
leaves thrown upon the designs here and
there; the perfect balance of beauty and the
artistic unity of treatment all mark this work
OF Mr.. Cranes as valuable as we'll as unique
contribution to modern pictorial art ,and its Free
dom from affectations and mannerisms should
be suggestive to followers of the neo-romantic
schoolwho will not fail to appreciate the de.
slrable restraint, the versatile expression and
admirable finish of Mr.. Cranes work.
The quick enterprise of Messrs. Osgood &
Co., which has enabled our public to enjoy
the Fairy Masque so soon after its publication
IN England, should have hearty and grateful
recognition. The Heliotype process has re-
produced, with the sureness and swiftness of
the sunlight, "a true copy, attest;" Phebus
Apollo, register" The volume. sold in En-
gland at ten guineas, costing $4,000 to import,
is afforded by Messrs. Osgood's publishing en-
terprse at $3.50.

A Short History of the English Colonies in
America. By Henry Cabot Lodge. (New
York: Harpers; Portland: Loring, Short &

comprised an interesting and valuable history
OF the colonial period 1t abounds in pictu1-
esque detail the social customs, the build
ings, household furniture, etc., of the colo
nists are fully described and give life and col
or to the outlines of the political and histori-
cal progress of the British settlements in the
New World. Mr.. Lodge has traced separately
the record o: each of the several colonies wisely
preferring whatever of repetition and goin
over the same ground this method might cause
to the confusion and rapid transitions which
would have been unavoidable in an attempt to
carry on the history of the group of colonies
together. The binding, paper and typography
Of the volume are sumptuous; and its index
ing, chronological tables, etc., will greatly aid
the student of colonial history.

Life OF Voltaire. BY James Parton. (Bos-
ton: Hcughton, Miffiin &, Co.; Portland: Lor.
ing, Short& Harmony Mr.. Parton is ready
and practised book-maker, we'll acquainted
with public taste, and has tact and facility in
collecting and sitting such masses of literary
matter as confront the biographers of great
men, Without any notable traits of imagina-
tion and insight-his works are always reada-
ble and written agleeably and with
out mannerisms His preface is very
sensible and thoughtful = one of the
few prefaces that are something more than a
civil salutation or self-conscious depreciation
toward the public. The amount of testimony
and OF controversy in regard to nearly every
act or expression Of Voltaire's, is remarked
upon by Mr.. Parton. He has honestly and la
boriously compared and verified; and with re-
serve that many more ambitious biographer
might do we'll to copy has refrained from men
tioning anecdotes or statements which he
found to be false. He recognizes the extraor-
binary scope Of Voltaire's character; its deplor.
able failings, its folies in an age of follies, its
really grand and expansive possibilities, the
literary power, the social trifings of one of the
most remarkable of Frenchmen.
