Almost everyone is familiar with the
duties and the functions of the observers
of the Signal Service. But on Mount
Washington their duties arc peculiar.
Seven observations must be made daily.
The recording sheet OF the anemometw
must be changed at noon. Three of tbs
seven observations must be forwarded in
telegraphic cipher to theBoston station.
Routine Office work. etters received
and sent-must have attention between
times, and several blank forms must be
filled with statistics. The battery and
the wire of the telegraph plant must re.
ceive careful attention, and the matter
OF repairs is no inconsiderable ono The
station on Mount Washington is the
bleakest, and, with one exception, the
coldest in the service. Three to fouI
men, including cook, are usually there,
with one cat and one dog. Life would
be very hard TO bear there were it not for
the click! click! click! of the telegraph
instrument, which is the active connect
ing link with the world-thc main-stay
and hope OF these recluses. And then

necessity. A regular CONSERVATION oc.
ours In camp when a storm breaks the
wires and connection is lost. In such
cases the observers risk their lives in
storm and cold in search for the break,
rather than be without the assurance of
safety which the click seems to impart.
The men live on as good food as can be.
The larder is supplied in September, and
the ''refrigerator'' (the top story of tho
observatory, is stocked at the same time.
Meat and poultry are placed there al
/ ready frozen, and they do not thaw
"during the season." The water supply
comes from the frost feathers. Care In
taken that two or three barrels OF these
are stored in the back shed always, and
a boilerful of them in half melted condi.
ton is ever upon the cook stove. A
water famine has been known 10 occur,

views of the canon al this point given
IN Captain Dutton's report are from Point
Sublime, on the north side There seems
to have been no way of reaching the
river from that point. From the south
side the descent, though wearisomc, is
feasible. 1t reverses mountaineering to
descend 5000 feet for view, and there
is certain pleasure in standing on
mountain summit without the trouble of
climbing it. Hance, the guide, who has
charge of the well, has made path to
the bottom. The route is seven miles
long.
Half way down he has house by
spring. At the bottom, somewhere in
those depths, IS sort Of farms grass
capable Of sustaining horses and cattle,
and ground where fruit trees can grow.
Horses are actually living there,J aud
parties descend there with tents and camp
for days at time. 1t is a world of its
own.
But no camera or pen can convey an
adequate conception of what Captain
Dutton happily calls q great innovation
in the modern ideas of scenery To the
eye educated to any other it may be
shocking, grotesque, incomprehensible;
but. "thosc who have long and carefully
studied the Grand Canon of the Colorado

THE TWO MYSTERIES

We know what it is, dear this sleep so deep
and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm the cheek
SO pale and chill
The lids that will not lift again, though we
may call and call
The strange white solitude of peace that set
ties over ALL
We know what it means, dear, this desolate
heart pain.
The dread to take our daily way and walk in
it again,
We know not to what sphere the loved who
leave us 90.
Nor why we're left to wander still, nor why
we do not know.
But this we know: our loved and lost if they
should come this day,
Should come and ask US. What is lifes not
one of US could say.
Life is a mystery as deep as death can ever
be-
Yet oh, how sweet it is to us, this life we live
and see!
Then might they say, those vanished ones
and blessed is the thought
SO death is sweet to us, beloved, though we
may tell you naught.
We may not tell ito the quick, this mystery
of death,
Ye may not tell it if ye would, the mystery
of breath
The child that enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent
| SO those who enter death must 20 as little
children sent
Nothing is known, but believe that God is
overhead;
And as life is to the living, SO death is to the
dead

The Werk eff the Snow.

Snow has several curious methods Of
extending the sphere of its hostile inf1u-
ence. The comparatively light SHOWS
which fall in our latitude are of minor
Importance, since they readily yield to
the carly spring sunbeams. They are IN
some degree beneficial to the fertile sur
face and protective to its more tender
annual plants, while their only impor-
tant adverse effect is the dangerous food
ing of the rivers, due to their rapid
melting. But the deep and persistent
SHOWS of northern regions are far more
exhaustive of solar heat, ana reduce the
agricultural season of those regions to a
dangerously short period. In their
melting, also, the surface air ia chilled,
and winds from the north convey this
chilled air far to the south, thus spread
ing widely over the warmer zones the
frost-inducinc influence of the melting
SHOWS.
We have seen how the tropic heats are
carried toward the poles by winds and
waters The frigid cold is carried 10
ward the tropics by the same agencies
chilled winds and cold ocean currents.
It is carried By another agent of great
Importance, the direct creep of the snow
itself toward the lower ATTITUDES. This
agency has once-perhaps many times
produced an extraordinary effect upon
the surface OF the earth, one far surpass
ing that Of volcanic explosions and lava
outfows IN its adverse influence. A.
present this glacial action IS greatly re
duced, but Is still Of much importance

CHATTY'S ESCAPE.

1t was showery summer afternoon at
Cedar Hall.
Cedar Hall was we'll named. It was a
square stone building, utterly devoid of
architectural attraction, and completely
hidden in funereal pine and cedar wood.
In the ravine below brawled a noisy
river, upon whose steep banks stood the
suinous walls of an old snuff mill, VIII ose
totting wheel had in its time piled up the
slittering tower of Miss Bagg's fortunes.
For Miss Bagg was very rich. She
lad long ago sold out the business, and
lived here in the cedar woods like an old
'airy with a golden wand, and her niece,
Coraline Culver, lived with her.
Coralinc Culver was very quiet per-
ion. Miss Bagg herself was not great
alker, and sometimes old Dorcas,
The housekeepel, said-it did seem as If
spell of silence brooded over the whole
place.
"And I shall be awful glad,' said
Dorcas, ''when that other young lady
comes. Shan't you be glad, Miss Cora
inc, dear, for a bit of fresh life about
he place2"
II don't know said Coraline. 'Tm
,sed to aunty, you see
That "other young lady was quite a
iifferent person from soft:voiced Cora
inc. Her name was Charlotte Bagg-
called "Chatty" for short-and she was
the daughter of Miss Bagg' only brother,
and she was sent here to the green gloom
Of Cedar Hall to get her out Of the way
,f a penniless lover who had had the
.udacity to make eyes at her.
To soft-voiccd Coraline, it seemed as
if the coming of this new element into
4 he monotony Of her daily life would
:, create new existence.
/ When : Chatty arrivcd-a brown
.,aired, hazeleyed girl with very rosy
/ ,heeks, and 4 sort of exuberant vitality
In everv look and motion-she eyed the
old hall with surprise apd disfavor.
"a perfect old dun geon," said she.
''Why don't Aunt Bagg cut down some
Of the trces9 Why don't she pull down
/ that ghost haunted old ruin by the
rivcr2"
Sim sorry you don't like it," said
Miss Bagg, COMPRISING her lips.
"Oh, beg your pardon - said Chatty,
coloring, Il didn't know you heard.
Gut the rooms do smell musty, yol
know"
In vain Coraline motioned the i'm
pudent new conner 10 silence. Chatty
either did not or would not understand
the signals.
"Aud the place could be made to lool
SO pretty, you know said she, with I

Of light and sunshine opened to the river

Il was sixty last week said Mis-
Bagg, stiffening herself up, 'ana l al
4 perhaps capable of managing my ow'
affairs without the advice and counsel c
others"
"Now I've done it," said Chatty t
herself. "Tm always doing it! Isoms

Peter, the man Of all work, rushed in

to the room.
81 believe in my soul, ma am" said
Peter, ''the old mill is struck"
Aunt Bagg and Coraline stood looking
at each other, then they both hurried
out into the storm
"Chatty-my Cousin Chatty!" walled
Coraline.
''The poor, pretty creature" cried
Miss Bagg. ''And to think that spoke
so cross to her.'
Peters prediction proved true. The
walls of the old mill still stood, but the
chimney had collapsed into heap of
ruins, from which the skirt of poor
Chatty's waterproof still, ,futtered.
$50 young cried Miss Bagg, wiring
ing her hands-"so pretty! Oh, if l
could undo the past, she should have her
lover and everything she wanted! Get
spade, Peter! Call the men. Let us re.
cover the-the body at once!'
''Bless us and save US, ma'am," said
Peter, ''if once we began to dig there,
we'd soon have the whole place topping
around us! But I'll SO for the coroner,
maam, if you please"
"That isn't at ali necessary, Peter"
said sweet young voice, and Chatty,
herself sprang down from one of the
hollow window castings, and running up
to Miss Bagg, nearly suffocated her by
the warmth of her embrace. ''I'm not
dead at ALL" cried she, "and there's no
use digging for me. When it began to
tighten so, threw off my hat and cloak
and climbed up here to see how lovely
the river looked in the blue CLEANS, and
when the crash came, 1 was half-fright-

After all, what could one refuse to a
girl who, to all intents and purposes,
was just risen from the dead2 Aunt
Bagg felt the difficulties of her position
and surrendered.
Mr.. Eric Townsend arrived the next
day, and luckily Glanced to find favor in
Miss Bagg's eyes. She interested herself
at once in getting a good position for
him, as impecuniosity proved to be his
worst failing, and Chatty declared that
she was guardian angel.
"And Few, my DEAR said Aunt Bagg
to Coraline, "since your cousin is settled,
it's high time for me to be looking out
fo- you. l don't see why you shouldn':
, be married, too"
"I'm sure, aunt, | never thought O
such a thing" said Caroline, blushing.
"Then it's high time you should be
thinking" said Miss Bagg. cone old
maid is enough in the family"

ample that within the year pretty Cora
