The time of year has about arrived
when there should be a general cleaning
up about ones prem ises. This is duty
one owes 10 the community in which he
resides. Cleanliness is nextto godliness,
and the person who is not enterprising
enough to keep his premises clean has

progressing rapidly under the direction
OF Supt. John Cribbs for the Nelson *
Buchanan Bridge Co. The walk will be

james Hopper has with justice been
greeted as the Kipling of the Philippines.
The title fits better than ever now that he
has given us that quaint story 1.-THE
Struggles and Triumph of Isidro de los
Msestros' which appears in the current
McClures'. After all we know so little
of the real life of our new subjects. Hop
per knows the Philippines as KipliDg
knows India, and he tells us the things

pathos in plenty in the lives of this wild
people. The discovery, the christening,
and the education of Isidro is at the same
time pathetic, humorous, aud dramatic.
To read such story is rare privilege.
e. ". Osgood makes the following
weather report for the past month of
March 1t rained on days and showed
is days, leaving but 10 clear days during
the month. The total rainfall was but 2l
inches. aud the total snowfall 252 inches.
Mercury reached the zero point on the
9th and 25tb; the 18th and 18th were very
cold days, and on the 23d the thermome-
ter indicated 80 below zero, and on the
oath, 100 below. 1t will surprise many,
no doubt, to learn that, while there has
been a wonderful dissimilarity in the
winters of l9O4.5 and 1866, the differ
ence in the total amount of the snow fall
is less than 80 inches. In the former the
snowfall was S4 inches, and thus far in
the present winter we have had 545 inch-
es, with the balance of April yet to hear
from.
Does This Solve The Mystery!
