In view of the prevailing distrust in savings
banks the Trustees of the West Waterville Savings
Bank have laid before their depositors the result Of
thorough examination of its affairs recently made
by the Bank Examiner, Hon. VIM. w. Bolster.
The bank has sustained no material loss since its
organization save the depreciation in value Of rail-
road bonds, in which it invested some 81 900, 1t
has a reserve fund of $l,954 80, which will more
than cover the losses. During the past six
months the bank has earned more than the three
per rcent. semi-annual dividend, taxes and expens-
es. Its afirs are efficiently and faithfully man
aged in the interests Of depositors. The same
prosperity for the future which has followed the
bank in the past, will soon give it large surplus.

A Curious Craft.
From the Portland (Me.D Press.


More than six Years since Il New
Brunswick farmer living on the Upper
st. John took il into his head to build Il
vessel i'll which to take his family to
Australia. He went to st. John and
there visited Il Shipyard for the first
time III his life, and examined the build
of Il schooner. Returning home with IL
few tools and il book on navigation. he
worked all the time he could ret DAYS,
and studied with the aid of his wife his
''navigation book" evenings. AT the
end of SIX Years his vessel was com
plcted. During the spring fIeshets he
ttoated the craft down to st. John. AT
that time he had expended every dol
lar he could Iaise, including the pro
cceds of the sale of his farm. Mr. Pom
eroy. an American shipper, saw the
craft, and finding that it was an object
of curiosity. advanced the money for an
outfit and chartered her To take to Phil
adelphla. The craft is said not only to
he il great curiosity in point of constrIlc-
tIon. but has numerous inventions neV-
cr before seen on Il vessel of any kind.

Feeding Wild Animals.

I'VE feed all of our carniverous ami
mails" said the superintendent of the
gardens, about six times Il week. We
try To follow nature. None of these
animals in their wild state succeed in
finding food every day. The Bengal
tiger is the heaviest eater. We are
giving the tiger more than the lion
His allowance is sixteen pounds of meat
per day. The hyenaS eat very little
meat. We give them plenty of bones.
which they MUNICH and crunch and
grow fat ON. See how sleek they look.
All the animals require more or less
bone food for the lime therein con-
tanned. Now the birds we feed regular
~ every day. All the seed eating birds
have enough set before them each daN
to last twenty-tour hours. The monkeys
We feed twice day. For breakfast
they get bread and milk. and for din
ner they get vegetables, bread and milk
Then. Nou know, the visitors are con-
tinually feeding them. They are special
~ fond of sweet POTATOES. As tor the
snakes. we hardly know when they do
eat. We have to keep offering the food.
and when it suits them they take it,
And when it does not they leave it
alone. Sometimes they'll teed once in
tw" or three months. and they have
been known to do without for six
months. We generally give them rats,
rabbits. guinea pigs. pigeons. frogs.
mice, and small birds. The pigs and
rabbits we give to the hoa>. All are
given to them alive. They wouldn't
think of touching ANYTHING dead. The

Ancient Pottery in Missouri.

The MiS>ouranS are searching tin,
pockets of Mother Earth for treasures
to he eNpn>cd at the Centennial Our
state is known To possess vast mineral
wealth, but it proves also L" bc rich in
antiquities. For the purpose of exam
lining some lately disclosed, visited
my friend Mr. Whitley. who is engag
ed III cNhuming these relics. They are
mainly found III the mounds which
abound in this region. can give Won
but au imperfect idea of them. ;lS they
are peculiar in material and manut;ic
turc.
They consist of vessels of various de
signs and sizes. many of them having
evidently been Intended foI drinking
vessels. Some have the general form
of Il bowl extended up into Il bottled
neck: Others open at the top like Il
bowl. One has III one side of the upper
rim the form of Il tiShS mouth. which
seemed intended as Il sort of spout.
while on the opposite side of the rim is
the tiSlI'> tail. which serves is IL handle
the tins are placed in thriI proper posi-
ton on either side, So that. to one look
ing down on the dish, the Representa-
ton is complete. Frogs and other rep
tiles are represented i'll these vessels
One has four legs, Il head and Il tail
the rude image of some quadruped
rising from the centre of the back is Il
tall spout.
Other pieces, which probably served
as plates, are ornamcmtcd with tiligrce-
work, much like our cake-plateS. The
material of which this ware is composed
is unknown it is neither clay n"r
metal its color is very like that OF
iron, though there are some pieces of Il
light yellow tint.
The history of the momlders of this
pottery is among the mysteries of the
past. Some of the mounds of the West
have been found to contain bones. ar
row heads and wampum of the North
American Indians. some specimens oi
which ! have had given me. But the
vessels | have described are not til,
work of savages ; it is plain that they
were moulded 10y some prehistoric race
and it is not Improbable that they be-

The Mountains.

A collection of poems which is good
and is not hacknrycd, is as rare us it is
difficult to make. The omnivorous
manufacturers of .'Readers" seize upon
everything which can he made effective
tor elocutionary purposes. and many IL
noble passage is spoiled for teachers
and scholars. because they can only
think of ii as they have heard it in the
inevitable school-roOm tone. Young
woment who keep albums. copy every
sentimental verse that is printed, and
read them aloud to despairing friends
until they fairly wish that prosody was
Il lost art. Nevertheless, the real merit
of the poems. the spark of genius that
WHITES them, is unquenched 10y amy
rough treatment. and when one finds
the very oldest of the school-room and
album taVorites bound in Il dainty little
book with IL score of other noble verses.
one reads it with delight. Such Il little
book is Mountains, recently published
bv Roberts Brothers. 1t is volume
which one should put in ones pocket

effects of mist and cloud of shadow and
