The question of fuel nowadays is such an
important one, owing to the price of coal,
wood, coke, or, in fact, any fuel that will
produce heat, that the heating of the aver
age house in this climate is quite serious
problem and one that can't be too carefully
Investigated. In every city there are, of
course, many different methods of home
heating and, to certain extent, the cost of
fuel in that vicinity still determines the Sc
lections of the heating apparatus for the
homes.
1t is a curious fact that nothing has yet
been discovered in economy of fuel or
healthful heat to equal a really first-claSs
furnace, but it is also to be regretted that
many of the furnaces now on the market
are furnaces in name only and are not con-
structed with that thoroughness and care
that should make them fuel savers as well
as heaters.
The manufacturers of the Round Oak
stove-which is the most popular stove in
the wOrld-are making furnace now that
is ack nowledged the best furnace that has
ever been put on the market. Unquestion-
ably, there would be no furnace of any
other make sold today were this furnace
sold as cheaply as any of those on the mar
a very old and reliable concern; they have
splendid business in stoves and if they
cannot sell furnace of good quality at a
fair price they don't want to sell any fur
naces at all. This is rather unusual
stand for furnace manufacturer to take
as there is so much competition in the fur
mace business, but it perhaps accounts for
the wonderful success Of this Round Oak
Furnace which is certainly the best fur
mace that has ever been built in this ooun-
try.
c. L. Wright, the local agent here, reports
that every Found Oak Furnace that he put
in this vicinity has led to more sales and
that he has yet to hear of dissatisfied GUS
toner who has purchased Round Oak
Furnace.

how they all can find a fair patronage
and support; and the church doors open
for the minister to occupy, unless he
has some other occupation for self-sup-
port to say nothing of the benevolences
that find an outlet through the church
channels. This naturally leads us to
think of the religious status OF the
town. Well, what of that? The town of
Brooks has never been noted for the
piety of its people. There has been
plenty of religion, but not so very much
piety. except here and there, since away
back. Since good Parson WisWell was
a prominent factor in the religious life
of the place, and since the days Of
''U ncle Isaac Roberts," and good dea-
con Chase: deacon Page, and Glass
Leader" Joel Collier and few others
to the great beyond-few, if any seem
to arise to take their places, and the
soil of Brooks does not seem quite of
the right kind for producing Saints.
The Rev. Humphry Small "a native of
the soiD and the good David Bracket
lately gone from there, have held on
their way with fortitude and a good
degree of success in the ministry of the
Gospel, while other ministers have
seasons of the year The church has
recently been reftted and put into very
fine condition, and wide-awake minis
ter Congregational has been called to
serve the people as their minister; and
we are sure that no effort will be spared
on his or his wife's part to make their
passionate success. 1t is to be hoped
that they will not labor in vain and
that the religious temperature may be
kept. not only above the freezing point
by those there living and adjacent, but
that those who are in active service
may see ere long the kindling fire of a
G od-given, Holy Ghost-endowing revi-
val of religion such as the town OF
Brooks has never seen; and this doubt
less, is the sentiment of the people of
the whole town. l am tempted to, but
will not, prescribe the way it may be
brought about.
On the line of temperance, it may be
said that Brooks has for very many
years been ''tetotaP' town. The first
Prohibition Law ever enacted, and
cd TO horn, n
the town of Brooks. Certain young
men, born of temperance blood, being
disguised with the results from the sale
of the stuff decided to be Flaw unto
Themselves so when darkness mad
covered the land and the people were
quietly sleeping in their beds they got
to work and before morning many bar
rels and kegs had lost their heads and
decanters had left their quiet resting
places on the shelves of the old Squire's
| bar-room and taken an outing on the
streets. 1t was the best thing in the
way of reform ever enacted in that
town; and until to-day we think that
Brooks has stood in the line at the
front and we shall ever look to see that
the native good sense of the great ma
! jority OF the people will cause them to
keep sharp eye out for any infringe
ment of the good laws of the Prohibition
State of Maine, or violation of the spirit
| of the law for prohibition enacted more
than sixty years ago; and that the
"bottle pedler," worse than ''sneak-
thief" may be instantly warned out
of town" IP.R

GOVERNOR BuRLE1GHs PORTRAIT.

tunda of the Capitol recently. The
new picture has been placed over the
door leading to the office of the Secre-

who ranks with the best living, and it is

one of the largest pictures in the col

Burl.igh standing. The overcoat is
thrown over his right arm and his
gloves are clasped in his right hand. In
his left hand which hangs by his side,
is his hat. The attitude and expression
are wonderfully true to life, and the
artist has caught perfectly the strength
and energy which are so characteristic
of the man. Vinton has also been COM

DECISION IN A PAUPER CASE.

The following rescript from the Law
Court is of general as we'll as local in
tereSt:
Knox county, City of Rockland VS..
Inhabitants of Union. Rescript, Pow
ers, J.
Neither the act nor the omission of
assessors in the assessment or non-as-
sessmeut Of a tax on an individual, can
be evidence for or against town on
the question of the residence of such
individual. Y
The assessment of tax against a
person is no admission on his part un-
less coupled with its payment or his
recognition of it in some manner as an
existing liability.
At most the assessment Or nOn-as-
seSsment of tax but represents the
opinion of the assessors upon the ques
ton of residence or nOn-reSldence of
the person at the time and cannot be
evidence of the fact itself before an
other tribunal.
In 1888 the pauper joined a Masonic
lodge at IslesbOrO. Defendant town
offered deposition 10 prove that the
rules governing the residential jurisdic-
ton of Masonic lodges in Maine at that
time required that an applicant must
have been a resident of that town for
six months prior to his joining the
lodge. This regulation was not shown
to have been brought to the pauper' 8
notice or acted upon by him.
Held: That the evidence was proper
ly excluded. All that it tended to prove
as to the pauper's residence was the
opinion of the persons who invited him
to Join the lodge and admitted him to
membership, matter irrelevant to the
/ issue.
Motion and exceptions overruled.

an oID-rAsmorED WINTER.

The real record of the winter is al
most made and it has furnished some
interesting data for the students of
meteorological phenomena. 1t has been
a dry and cold winter. The ponds
and streams were low to begin with
and the depth to which the frost has
penetrated has accentuated that con-
dition. From some portions of Yer
mont much suffering is reported. A
water famine is serious enough at any
time, but when the mercury is playing
hide and-seek with the zero point it is
much more distressing. Last winter
was regarded as a phenOmenally severe
one and there were few record break
ing temperatures, but there was not
such steady clutch of frigid con-
ditiOns as has been experienced the
present season.
The sweep of the cold waves has been
continual and we might almost say uni
versal and unprecedented. There have
been snOwfalls in the City of Mexico
and in the streets of Rome. States on
the Pacific coast, unaccustOmed to
snowfalls, have seen the ground
whitened more than once, while in the
Northwest, the home of the billiards.,
the cold has been unusually overp0wer-
lug AL 1tC luCClSlCy. Mduy Cottl0 nave
been frozen to death and fatalities
among human beings have made
large aggregate The people of northern
ATTITUDES have not been the exclusive
victims of the weather. Anticipating
possible extremes, they have, as usual,
been prepared; but in the Southwest
and even in the extreme Southern pOr-
ton of the country, the frost line has
had to be drawn far below the ordinary
limit, doing great damage TO fruits and
vegetables. A couple of months ago we
we were eating Florida oranges. Now
we must content ourselves with the in
ferior California varieties.
Whatever the impressions our own
sensations may convey to us, inanimate
nature furnishes the most dependable
test of the seasons severity. Not for
years have the harbors along our coast
been so ice-bound and coastwise vessels
have rarely found their progress so im-
peded by ice-t1Oes as they have been for
the last two months. 1t has been a
hard winter for the sailor and the life
savers. 1t has been hard winter for
everybody whose duties have kept them
in the open, whether by land or sea.
Yet there are compensations. These
are the conditions that confronted our
sturdy ancestors at even closer range
than now and helped to make race of
strong men and women, such a one as
