Successful National Banks.

The Boston Daily advertiser gives the follow
ing interesting account of the Maverick National
Bank, of Boston, a bank which is as well known
in business and financial circles as any bank in
the United States:
The Maverick Bank was incorporated in S54,
and was one of the last if not the very last, in
corporated under what was known as the old
banking law of Massachusetts. 1t had local
lnterest-that is, it was intended to advance
the interests of East Boston, which, since 1880,
had grown to be one of the most important out
lying wards of Boston. 1t had established ship
yards and other large manufacturing industries;
1T was the Boston terminus of the Cunard line of
steamships, and 1t had arranged for series of
warehouses and dock privileges which have
since become famous in the commercial history
of Boston.
In 1875 the bank moved to its present quar-
tiers in the city proper at the corn er OF Congress
and Water streets, in Postoffice square.
But the Maverick Bank of 1854 was but q
mere shadow of what the Maverick Bans of to-
day is-that is in the great volume of its busi
ness The capital remains today the same as it
was in 1854, $4OO, 900, but it's transactions now
are immense. When we say that its present
surplus is over 100000, the story of its great
success is told.
In many respects its management at the pres
ent time is very much like that which has char
acterized the Chemical Bank of New York for
three-quarters of century, Asa p. Potter, its
present able president, is born financier. He
took to financiering naturally, and his early
education with Way, Warren & Co., strength
ened his instinct. As an agency bank the
Maverick stands at the head of the Boston
banks The term agency is susceptible of sew
eral interpretations, but we use it merely in the
sense OF fiduciary factor; and we do not hesi-

How to Treat a Shying Horse.

Do not strike a horse when he ''shies."
You only make matters worse. He SHES
because he's afraid of being hurt. Now, if
you strike him he is hurt; he associates the
harmless brush heap with pain. It is bet
ter not to change the tension of the rein at
all; that is, if you were driving with a loose
line when the animal SHE'D do not nervous
ly clutch the rein, as if you were frightened
also. It will do you no good, for you can
not gather up a loose line quick enough.
If the horse SHES very badly speak to him,
and gather the lines easily and firmly. If
you were driving with a taut line, which is
always best in my judgment, do not Jerk
as he SHES, but press steadily and keep
cool.-New York Weekly,

Heat or Cold Has No Effect Oh Snails' Eggs.
The snails' eggs are not so numerous nor
yet so microscopic as those of the eel. Their
claim to notoriety rests solely upon their
reputation for extraordinary vitality, which
claim, were it not for the testimony of
some eminent n%aturalists, would be beyond
belief. 1t is claimed for them that they
may be dcssicated in n red not furnace I'M
til reduced to minuteness barely visible,
and that they will again regain their origi
nal bulk and dimensions upon being damp
ened; that then the young may be brought
forth successfully, as though the eggs had
never been molested. When it was found
that heat had no appreciable effect upon
them extreme cold was tried.
Dauber, of Stockholm, kept them frozen
in ice for eighteen months, yet they Matched
when removed as readily as if they had al
ways been in their native element. Next
artificial cold was tried. A phial of the
eggs was submitted to a temperature of
what would be equal to 100 dogs. below
the zero mark of Fahrenheit, still their vi
tality did not seem to be injured in the
least.-St. Louis Republic.
