remarkable one. Boiling up ont of the
ground, with little if any variation the
year round, quantity of water equal
to a stream from hose two inches in
diameter with fair pressure, cold and
clear as a crystal, passes down over the
hill, forming a brook, which after cover
ing the distance of half a mile, divides,

other in another The water from one
of these brooks finally empties into the
Penobscot and that from the other,
reaches the kennebec.

Leutellis Baldwin, in an historical
article in the School Visitor for Janu-
ary says that the ''school marms of the
'70's were much handsomer and smart
er than those of to-day" Whewi they
must have been paragons of intellect
and beauty. We shudder to think of
the fate in store for Mr.. Baldwin should
he visit the normal this year, as is his
custom. But never mind, girls; the
old man has to wear specks now.
