BIG SNOW IN MAINE.

The Old Residenter Remembers Fall
That Beat This Winters Big One.
There was full bench of crossroads
philosophers gathered in the store and
postoffice at the Corners the other even
ing. The "pestiferous snow" was the
first subject to which they gave atten-
ton. Solomon Growles, who had just
come in from days chase of fox,
with snowshoes and gun, declared with
more solemnity than usual to him:
"Snow's more'n 40 foot deep over on
the back side Of Smiths hill. can
swear to that, fer I've measured it."
That's purity deep for hereabouts. I"
put in old Elijah Scammon in his soft
est tones, but it can't hold a candle to
what I saw in 1s43 up north of Brassua
lake. That winter our tote road for
more'n quarter Of mile ran through
notch tween two purity good hills that
come up close together. Mebbe the sides
of that notch was about 200 feet higher
n the road. Well, on the 23d day of
February there came storm that lasted
three days. Yer never saw it snow so
in yer life, an the wind blew jest orful.
When it was over, we dug out Of camp
an went ter break out the tote road, an
I'm blamed + the snow wasn't so deep
down whar the notch was that we
couldn't find the place or them hills at
all. 1t was all smooth snow, level all
over 'em, an when we came out in the
spring they hadn't come in eight yet.
That was bout the deepest snow ever
saw"
"Yaas, l shouldn't wonder f twas, "
said Solomon meekly, while the laugh
went round. Journal.

ASTRONOMY IN ARIZONA.
A Station Established Through the Efforts
of Harvard College Observatory.


of Harvard College Observatory.
An expedition to establish an astIo-
nomical observation station in Arizona
left Harvard college observatory March
Pefei++a}l LEVEL having Ss furnished
the means therefor. The head of the
work is William II. Pickering, brother
of Professor Edward c. Pickering Of
Harvard. He has been for years en-
gagged III similar work in Europe and
has recently returned from the Arequi-
pa expedition. 1t has long been desired
to have station in the dry air Of Ari-
7ona, but funds have been lacking, and
Mr.. Lowell's gift is most grateful. He
is well known as a traveller in the far
east, writer on Korea, Japan and the
PHILOSOPHERS and religions of those re-
gions, but he is also an enthusiast in
astronomy, has written several books
on the science and is himself one of the
Arizona party.
The founding of the station will not
change the work at Arequipa, which is
to be almost wholly used for photo
graphic work, while that in Arizona will
be visual. But much of the investiga-
ton Of the problems of the skies which
has been carried on at the Harvard OBJ
servatory will be transferred to the new
station. Professor Pickering says that
everything is tending to drive observa-
tories away from cities. The vapors,
the smoke and now the powerful cleo
trio currents used for lights and street
cars-all are injurious to the objects Of
the astronomer. The special reason for
hurrying the expedition is the apposi-
ton of Mars next summer, when that
planet will be near the earth and far
Their north than when it was observed
two years ago at Arequipa.-Spring-
field (Mass.) Republican.

SENATOR AND MRS. PETER.
They Arc Always Together, aud the Good

They Arc Always Together. aud the Good
Lady IL Her Husband's Counsellor.
The relations between Senator PETER
and his wife are quite touching. They
are always together, and wherever Mr..
PETER is Mrs. PETER can usually be
found near by. They walk together in
the morning from their boarding house
to the capitol, and when he has nothing
else to do they work in his committee
room, she acting as his private secretary.
When he has engagements elsewhere,
she remains there, answering his letters
and sending out his documents. When
the senate is called to order, she goes
into the gallery and remains until ad-
journment, when she walks home with
him. When lunchtime comes, they go
down to the restaurant together and eat
baked apples and cream.
When he has to visit the pension Of
fee or the postoffice department or other
offices in the city, she is always with
him and usually waits outside Of the
door until he comes. He Is tall and I'M
calmly, with high cheek bones, and dark
goggles, and long whiskers, and an ulster
on which the nap in places has been
worn of. She is bright looking little
woman. nimble and observing, but
plainly dressed in a bonnet and gar
ments which she evidently made herself
Mrs. PETER is woman Of considerable
intellectual force. She understands po-
litical affairs quite as thoroughly as her
husband and is safe counselor. Wash

WANTS A COMFORTABLE COFFIN.

The Father Of Congressman Brookshire Il
Having One Made to Order.
a Charlottesville Qnd. correspondent
says: There is man living nine miles
south OF this city who, though in the
best of health, has given his orders for
his coffin. His name is Drake Brook
shire. He is the father of Hon. E. v.
Brookshire, the Democratic congress-
man from this, the Eighth, district. Mr..
Brookshire weighs $50 pounds, has al
ways lived upon farm, enjoyed the
best Of health, having never been sick o
day in his life, and il now 81 years Of
age. The other day he came to town
and went to an undertaking establish
ment and informed the proprietor that
he wanted to purchase a coffin. The
proprietor, after asking who was dead,
was greatly astonished on being told
that 1t was for the live man standing
before him.
"Mr. Brookshire, however, Quoted
him by saying that he did not intend to
die until he had to, but that he wanted
to die with the knowledge that there
was coffin already made for him in
which he would have plenty of room.
The undertaken did not seem to know
just what to do, and Mr.. Brookshire,
seeing his mbarrassment, laid down
upon the floor and ordered his measure
ment taken. The coffin will be made Of
two inch oak, firmly bolted together,
and will be 6 feet 8 inches long, feet
wide and 2 x feet deep. After the coffin
is made Mr.. BrooHhire will try it and
see If it fits him. He also says that he
desires to be taken to the graveyard in
his farm wagon, drawn by his team Of
favorite mules"

but the hotel manager arrived in time
to avert hostilities and said to me:
81 am sorry. Mr. Patton hut this kind
of thing i, against the rules. -
What do you mean"
Why, this girl business. Both draw
ing rooms are full Of them; even the
stairs are blocked, so that not a guest
can pass. What are you going to do

But it can't be fixed here, sir, said
the manager, who was getting angry.
All this time cards were being show
cred upon the table. And was endeav-
oring to think Of some plan to pacify
the manager and at the same time carry
out my scheme-I forgot that hadn't
formulated scheme-when suddenly
waiter and hambermaid approached
us. Both seemed to be excited, and the
former, addressing his employer, said:

And what?"--

was internally miserable. And I could
have kissed that chambermaid when
she said:
"Oh, sir. they're not a-fghting with
their hands; only scolding, sir-all

well. what are You going to do?"
asked the manager.
Waiter, please bring me brandy
and Soda
When said this, in most humiliat-
ing tone Of voice, think must have
looked confoundedly queer, for the man
ager burst out laughing and said:
Look here, Mr.. Patton, l can see
that you're in fix. Will you allow me
to help you out:"

were known to the lawyers. l don't
think he believed me, but nevertheless,
in my affection of spirit, I felt as if
would like to have embraced him when
he said:
1.-The only plan is this: I shall an
nounce that you are ill, but that il the
young ladies will kindly leave their
names and addresses you will call on
them."
This seemed to be the only channel
open to me, so I readily agreed and had

was alone with Hosea Dustie.
"Well!" he inquired, what are you
going to do now?"
II don't know. How the deuce am

there must be hundreds of girls owning
these initials in Boston alone"

Suddenly Mr.. Dustie said:
IT'S strange case, but I have an
idea. Now, Miss Cullom was as cum

"Why not open that sealed letter?' I
inquired. And he replied:
