meteorological conditions at the OPEN

those that are now familiar. During
the month of December 1900 only one
and a half inches of snow fell, and at
no time did the mercury fall to zero.
During January. 1901, the total fall of
snow amounted to seven inches, and
the mercury did not fall to zero. The
present month has brought twice as
much snow as that; ice has increased
in thickness to twelve inches, and con-
sidera BILE solid weather has been ex-

the people of that time were also

And just below is the little brook
With the laughing waterfall.

And fecked with the sun and shsde:
And all the beauties of earth and air.
Were in those cookies 50 rich and rare

So add one more to the worlds lost arts,
For the cookies you make are sad.
And they haven't the power to stir our
