 She was about four years old. Her garments were white-the airiest, fiuftiest. daintiest white. The skirts stood out at the knees over stockings of pink silk. which ended in little golden slippers. Her long, carefully curled. fair hair fell in a shining shower to her pink sash. Her lit- tie face was cherubic-all roses and dim ples, and the bluest eyes that ever wese destined to make slaves of men

 Maine.

Caribou. Maine March a.--Woodsmen who have just returned here bring news that Bald Mountain. a small steep hill in the Tiboque valley.fa few miles from the North Brunswick line, has dlsappear- ed. In it's place a small laee now exists.
 It is believed the mountain dropped out of sight during the earthquake of March 24, and that the trenior which then shook New England really had it's birth in the Maine woods. IT
 Bald Mountain was an odd-shaped cone with extremely steep sides and was sell dom explored. The general belief is that it was the crater of an extinct volcano. Around the base of the mountain small hot springs once existed, and the rock formation in the neighhorhood bears evil dence of volcanic origin. >s
