Truly a remarkable spring, and not
only here but in all sections of the land
During the present week the country
has been given a sample of what the
great American climate really is. Some
sections have sweltered under midsum-
mer hot waves; elsewhere snowdrifts
have been in order. The warm wave
was pretty general, but in the North
west it was followed by a heavy snow
storm and in Texas by a sandstone
The list of temperatures in various
sections is interesting. In New York
the record was 81 degrees, in Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg, sc degrees; even
as near to us as Springfield it scared
up to the abnormal April altitude of So
degrees. The Southern cities were
more comfortable than those at the
North. Augusta, Ga, was cooler than
Cleveland, and Jacksonville registered
several degrees below Toledo. Then
there was a drop of so degrees or more
in Nebraska and the Dakotas, and a
fierce blizzard succeeded a burning
summer heat. But through it. all, this
Fart of New England has had genial,
sunshiny April weather, not too warm
but just warm enough. Here in Maine
we do not half enough appreciate the
beautiful spring We are having but
that Is the way with all our blessings.

The title of windy city, which is
commonly applied to Chicago, is not a
misnomer. That it was wisely chosen
is shown by the annual summary of
the weather bureau which shows the
total miles of wind movement at each
of it's many stations all over the
country This total for Chicago was
1873 miles. At only two stations of
the bureau has the total wind mileage
for Chicago been eXceeded-at Block
Island. on the Rhode Island coast of
the Atlantic, and at Mount Tamalpais,
which looks not upon the Pacific from
the height of 1876 feet, some 10 or II
miles from San Francisco. No city
station in America shows a total wind
mileage so large by many thousand
miles as that reported at the Chicago
station. At Boston, for instance, where
the east wind is always blowing and
filing the air with the dust and refuse
of its VIGOROUSLY dirty streets, the
total for the year was 9S,755 miles.
However, the Chicago wind, whether
from the lake or the prairie, is as
salubrious as powerful, and saves the
city from being suffocated in the fumes
of it's smoke nuisance.

the aliensts is fulfilled and all its in
mates are mad as a March hare"
But it may all be a mistake of the
expert authorities, after all. They
have occasionally been shown to be
mistaken before now. 1t may be that
the increase in the numbers of insane
now taken care of is only apparent, and
due to the fact that these unfortunate
persons are more generally confined
and better looked after than in former
days. 1t may be that the insane of the
world are not really increasing proper
tionally faster than it's population, and
not so fast as one might reasonably
expect in view of the changing condi-
lions OF life, its more exacting work,
it's greater burdens, and its more ex-
hausting pace. We prefer to take this
more cheerful view of the situation,
and to believe that the world is not
only buster than ever before but that
it is also better; that the mind of man
was never more healthy or sane than
today, and that the race was never be-
fore working so nationally at the great
problems of life; never before so well
fitted in mind and body and spirit, in
equipment and surroundings and in
| spirations, to do it's part in fulfilling the
| mighty purpose that runs through the
ages. If there is more madness in the
world than ever before, then also there
| is more method in it.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A foolish sower Of wild oats makes a
wise reaper of tame ones.
Every woman believes the nice things
she thinks she reals about herself in her
mirror.
A woman can be happy without math-

spair without sentiment and poetry.
The woman who could sit on her hal,
when she was a girl is the same one who
had wavy curls till she was sick with a
fever.

by an American medicine, originated

That medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
It cures radically and permanently,
In that it removes the cause, cleansing

impurities. 1t overcomes all the effects

Whea the lightest fall of snow
Must have been a dream of winter
