On T h u rs day evening large uuintiers of frogs were heard chattering their spring songs, and num erous birds have m ade their ap|>earauce for the sum mer, while lilac and m any other shrubs have buds swelled to a l most the bursting point.

W hen we read the papers and letters from friends east of the m ountains where the mercury reg isters from twenty to forty below we cannot help contrasting the dif ference. B. S. Swengel told us that he recently heard from his old home in North Dakota, and at that tim e the therm ometer had ranged from tw enty-three to forty below for a period of nincteeu days. J. K. G iddings received letters from his former home in Missouri and it was from tw enty to th irty two below and fires were necessary day and night to save their fruits, veg etables and even poultry.
