Who ever saw a whittier Sunday than
the one on the 18th Of this month";
Everything. forests, fences, and in fact
every object on which snow could fall
was "white, as no fuller on earth could
white it," But that six inch snow
storm made good sleighing and also
shedding, except in rough places where
two OF three times as much is wanted.
Aud if the deer had as much sense as
the hunters who killed each other when
chasing them, how thankful they must
have been that the closed season had
arrived.
But the streams are still open and the
ponds must have more cold weather to
bridge them over for the teams.
Deer meat is supposed to be used up
before now, but remained here until a
day or two ago, and yet IL was not at all
dear since il was given by a neighbor.
But the fellow who hunted deer better
than he knew was Lester, youngest son
of John o. Swan. He went out back of
Long Mountain, and seeing An animal in
a tree which he mistook at first for q
bear, and taking good aim brought the
animal down iifeless to the ground. Ii
proved to belong to the feline or cat
species, perhaps lynx of a IS 10. weight,
and five feet in length. He sold the skin
for SIP, good days work even If he
failed TO get deer.
Several visitors aud callers during the
week, also letters and cards from friends
abroad. All were welcome, especially

The chances are that the civil engi-
ueeripg students OF the University Of
Maine will have practice in real railroad
building. The trustees are considering
the proposition of arranging with the
Maine Central Railroad for q spur track
to the University, which is now nearly
mile from the Orono station, making q
long haul for coal and freight. The
growth of the institution, which now
numbers more than 1000 students, in
structors and attaches, and the great
interest in the base ball and football
games, makes il impossible for the local
trolley system to handle the traffic. So
it is proposed to build spur track from
the main line of the Maine Central at or
near Webster station across the college
farm to point near the athletic field.
The juniors in the civil engineering
course are making preliminary surveys
to determine the cost, and II tho spur
track is built, practically all of the engi-
nsering work will be done by the
etudents

STOVES OF IRON.

They Superseded the Roman stuba In
the Eighteenth Century.
A heating apparatus called "stuba''
tstuve, was widely used among the
higher class of Romans before the be-
ginning Of the Christian era. This
class Of heaters was fixed and immova'
bile. besides being in several other re-
.Spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove In Germany and Scandina'
via they were used in bathrooms and
hotbouses during the middle ages
They were usually constructed Of brick,
stone or tile and were Of immense size
They sometimes covered the whole
side of Il twenty or thirty foot room
and often extended out into the room
as much as ten feet. in which case the
smooth. fat top was used for bed
stead. the heated surface imparting an
agreeable feeling Of warmth during
those cold nights Of long ago when
such things as covers were quite rare.
Cardinal Polignac of France was per
haps the first to attempt the construc
ton Of stove wholly Of iron. this at
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century The first real Improvement
over the old Roman "stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
l745. One Of his efforts produced q
typical base burner. almost perfect and
a model Of workmanship. Stoves were
not used In private houses to any great
extent prior to the year 1S30.-LOndon
