Last winter,s snowfall.


 The snow-fsll in Connecticut during the past winter was probably the lightest for half a century; perhaps for whole century. Street Commissioner Wheeler of Winsted, kept record of the snowfall there-which was evidently twice as much as the aggre- gate In Hartford. It shows an aggregate of only two feet eight anda.half inches in that place, which, if we may accept the authority of the Yale records Is the celdst village in the state, and has very likely the largest average fall of snow. MT. Wheeler's record shows: December 3, 1 in.; December IA, in.; January Il. 21S in. January 24, in. March 9, 256 in.; March 6, 0in.; March 15 21z in, and March 19, s11 in, Here at Hartford, in the warmer valley of the Con- necticut, 1t Is doubtful whether the snow fall equaled half that of Winsted. Probably 15 inches would be fair estimate for Hart ford, for the entire winter. During most of the winter there was no snow at all. What there was came in the winters closing days and in the first part of the calendars spring Something like this occurred in 1e15-16, and again In 1926; but 1t is doubtful if the winter of 1890 has ever been surpassed, if equaled for mildness, since Standish went a-courtinG by yproxy,-Hartford Times.

The Parisian Cafe.

There is no city in world where the cafe fourishes as 1t does in Paris, and it may be safely said that iour-6fths of the inhabitants their being in the cafes with which the city abounds. It Is their meeting place, their lounging place, and often their eating place, and many would make 1t their sleeping place if the proprietors allowed them. The first sign of winter is the disappearance of the frequenters of the chairs outside to the warmth of the inner rooms, and the ap- proach of spring is heralded by their reap pearance in the chairs that line the front of their favorite cafe.
 The reason, perhaps, of the extensive use that Is made of the cafe by the average Pari- eian is the absence of home life as it is known in England or America. Here most of the bachelors live in single apartments, often on the fifth or sixth story of huge building without an elevator, and even mar risd couples are content with one or two humble rooms, and spend the greater part of their spare time at the cafe. There they have their meals. and at other times meet their friends. It is a pleasant enough life perhaps when you get used to 1t, and to peo- ple who do not know any better it may be the acme of comfort, but to the Englishman or American, who from his earliest years has been brought up to the notion that there is DO place like home, it is the reverse of en- ioyable. One thing here that has perhaps more than anything tended to bring about this etate of living is the high rents charged for living apartments in the better and more central portions of the city and the wretched class of servants. In America we often grumble at high rents, and the Irish Biddy for the hired girl has driven many a house. keeper to the verge of suicide, but, so far as my experience goes, the worst Biddy eyer imported is an angel compared to the average French servant. They are as full of 'fads'' as an egg is of meat, and they must run things their own way or not at all. So that after all there is some excuss for the Pari- sian,s preference for cafe life versus home life.
 The French cafe must not be confoundsd with either the English public house or the American saloon. The cafe is as much a lounging place as place to eat or drink in. There Is no bar and refreshments are taken sitting at little table. A man may sit in a cafe all day or the entire evening, and all he will perhaps partake of will be coffee in a long glass known as "mazagran," an ab. sinths. book of beer, or some of the vile con- coctions known as sirups. Beer Is now a favorite drink with Parisians and is be. coming more so every day. All over Par- is, too, American bars, they are called. are springiug up. These are pure and sim. pie drinking places and are chiefly patron- ized, if not altogether so, by foreipners. Here you may obtain your favortte cock- tall or help yourself to whiskey straight ont of the black bottle showed across the counter in the old familiar style.
