There is no country or sc ction under
the sun with a climate that will suit
everyone all the time; and while we dc
not claim that the New England climate,
or more particularly the Maine climate
realizes that ideal, it certainly averages
we'll with the rest of the country. The
violent storms which sweep the middle
west and South Atlantic States, put out
to sea before they reach the Maine coast
and are experienced here not at all or in
a mild form. We are free from destruc-
tive earthquakes. tornadoes that pick
up houses and carry them into the next
county, and billiards that destroy the
farmers flocks and herds and are often at
tended with the loss of human life. Last
week we read in our exchanges of floods
in Southern California, blizzard in Col
orado, extreme cold in the Northwest,
heavy snow fall in Michigan, and the
deepest snow fall in Boston for seven
years, while we did not get snow enough
here to make good sleighing and few
days before a Belfast man had picked
full grown pansy blossoms from his
garden. Of course we sometimes have
unreasonable weather-too cold in sum-
Ter and too VAIN in winter: but those
who leave Maine for the winter resorts do
not always find the change entirely salts
factory. Last winter friends of ours
went to Florida and suffered from the
cold. Degrees of cold are relative, and
one suffers more in climate like that of
Florida with the temperature around
freezing than in Maine with the mere lry
several degrees below zero. This year
our friends went to Southern California,
which the railroad literature would lead
one to believe is land of perpetual SUM-
shine and summer They found snow which
laid on the ground for two days, and the
or ange trees just escaped freezing. Then
ca me floods which put the railroads out
of commission, cut off light and power
and in some sections caused great loss of
life and destruction of property and left
m any people homeless. While these are
abnormal conditions, reading of them
hpuld make more contented those who
cannot get away, even if they desired to,
with winter life in the Pine Tree State.

fire is declared unoficially to have been
caused by the explosion of gas bomb or

Canada for her loyalty and patriotism in

IN MEMORY OF HENRY E. GREELEY

"From the dust of the weary highway"
Away from all toll and care,
At rest with those who long ago
Passed to that country fair.
The world hath need of men like him:
The generous, trusty kind,
Whose honest acts and sincere words
Uplift the common mind.
The memory of his noble life
Will live now he is gone;
May it stand as an example
To those who follow on.
Death takes away cur dear ones,
But still We trust and know
Well meet again in that fair haven,
For God had wllled it SO.

Orders were received last week to fill
all the houses in Maine of the American
Ice Co. These include the houses on the
Kennebec, two houses at North Booth
bay and Bristol and one at Bangor. This
order is due to the ice going out of the
Hudson river and the failure of the ice
crop in other places south. We read the
other day prediction that the time was
coming when only artificial ice would be
used, but evidently that time has not ar
rived and Maine ice will probably be in
demand for many years yet.

LOVERS CRY
Germany, my Germany!
Land of magic and of song,
To all youth thou dot belong.
Often in my childhood dreams
Have l sailed thy castled streams;
Met, when lost in woodland ways,
Thy immortal elves and fays;
And have hailed thy Christmas tree,
Whence the Christ Child smiled on me,
Germany. my Germany!
How l tremble, lest the years
Bring thee legacies of tears!
Lay thy proud ear to the ground.
Hear that muffled. angry sound
From hearts bereft on distant strands,
From ravaged homes in nearer lands
fearsome MOTEL yearn to save
Thy children from that tidal wave!
Germany, my Germany!
Not for valor in fair fight
Swels the warning voice tonight;
But for deeds that brand thy name
With the burning mark of shame.
From this carnival of crime
Snatch thy noble soul in time,
Before the rising food of Hate
EDgulf, and leave thee desolate!

HE IS ERECTING A GREAT
 WALLED WAR CAMP

PEKING, March 1.-President Yuan Shi-kai, emperor-elect, is building a great military camp near Honan-fu, the capital of his native province, Honan, which is causing his enemies much apprehension. : Charges are made that he is de- velopingy this great fortified camp as means of strengthening his hold upon the monarchy and desires to have it as a place of refuge after the fashion of the medevial Chinese emporers.
 The great camp is three miles west of the city of Honan-fu, and located near theriver. It covers two square miles of land. Two thousand men are at work erect ing the walls and buildings in pre- paration for the accommodation ot soldiers. The work has continued now for five months, but is only about one-fifth completed.

FRENCH GUNS BRING
 DOWN ZEPPELIN
TWENTY-TWO OF THE CREW MEET DEATH BY
 EXPLOSION

PARIS, Feb. 2S.-F'rench guns near Brabant Le Roi brought down Zeppelin yesterday, and the en- tire crew, numbering 22, perished. The Zeppelin was brought to earth by shot from an automibile noun ted cannon at Rovigny.
 The Zeppelin was one of the latest model, being of the marine type and numbered L-Z 77. An other Zeppelin was following it Is kilometers behind when the French gunners began to fire.
 The crew of the second Zeppelin, witnessing the destruction of the L-Z TT, turned their airship sharply and proceeded in. another direction.
 The presence of the Zeppelin was announced between 8:30 and 8:45. It fought against the wind and ad- vanced slowly. As soon as it was within range the cannonade began.
 Two shells burst in the rear of the dirigible, while an incendiary projectile seemed to tear across the Zeppelin, igniting the right side of the craft. The fire was soon sweeping along the entire length of the ariship. It burned steadily, no report from an explosion being heard.
 Little by little it came down, lighted up by flaming pieces of envelope which became detached.
 In touching the earth, the bombs which the Zeppelin carried exploded
 There was nothing left but the debris of the aircraft, among which lay the 22 bodies.

and the saints days were symboli- zed in various styles and devices, such as harp, gridiron, a lovers knot and so on. The Saxon alma macs are numerous and contain his- torical as well as ecclesiastical en- tries.
 It is possible to trace in these curious records all the chages of popular belief and taste. They were prepaored to meet the current demand and to constitute a syste- matic story of what took place in successive periods and how know ledge increased with the revolving years. We owe to them most that we know of the people for whom they were made and by whom they were endorsed.

HOW WE LEARNED TO USE
 ALMANAC

The first almanacs were of Ara bian origin, and reflected the local genious of the people in very striking way. They served as models in other countries for hun dreds of years.
 The oldest known copy of such work is preserved by the British Museumand dates back to the time of Rameses the Great of Egypt, who lived 1900 years before the birth of Christ. It was written on papyrus, in red ink, and covers period of six years. The entries relate to religious ceremonies, to the fates of children born on given days, and to the regulation of busi- ness enterprises in accordance with planetary influences.
 "Do nothing at all this day." is one of the warnings. If thou seest anything at all this day it will be fortunate" is another entry. Look not at a rat this day." Wash not with water this day." "Go out not before daylight this day." are some of the additional cautions.
 This almanac was found in an old tomb, and is supposed to have been buried with it's Egyptian own- CT when he was converted into mummy for future explorers to dig up and dissect in the interest of science and Literature.
 Next after this in point of age among the existing specimens of ancient almanacs are some com posed in the fourth century. They are Roman Church calendars, giv- ing the names of the saints and other religious information.
 The Baltic nations, who were not versed in papyrus-making, had ca lendars engraved on axe-helves walking sticks and other articles of personal use. The days were not ched with a broad mark for Sunday

MACAULEY ON PULLMAN

A nimble fingered thief relieved M.
]. Macauley of every thing that he had
in the way of money, papers and the
like in the Pullman, while he was
snowbound between Glendive and Bill
ings, Mont, on his return journey
from Crookston, Mimi, this week,
where he went to attend the funeral
of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Barrette.
The train was snowbound for l
hours at the point named and Mr.. Mac
auley, who wrapped his purse in his
underclothes on retiring, was surpris-
ed at missing it when he awoke af-
ter a good nights sleep. The thief
got $50 in cash and an unendorsed
note, besides some keys and trunk
checks Mr. Macauley had to borrow
from time to time on his way home,
being delayed by snow for 48 hours
near Spencer. He arrived in this city
Monday afternoon with his wife, de-
claring that she was the only valuable
possession with which he returned.
