New Zealand has set an example
which might advantageously be follow
ed in certain parts of this country. In
the same way as we have cathedral
cars" it has "traveling banks" A clerk
representing the bank travels up and
down a railway line for the transaction
of the ordinary business Of the bank
with those who have not sufficient facil-
tiles for coming into the city. Laden
with sachel containing his supply Of
cash, and provided with teller's usual
precautions against robbery, the clerk
makes the carriage his headquarters,
and there receives visits from customers
at the way stations, changing checks OF
taking deposits as occasion may require
This plan is said to prove profitable te
the bank and great convenience to the
settlers, who are saved all the trouble Of
journeying to town to relieve themselves
of surplus money or to procure change.
It is not difficult, however, to see tina,
the New Zealanders are not properly ed
ucated in the matter of train robbery

Ist Maine Cavalry Association

Immediately after the anniversary ex'
ercises OF Russell Post, Tuesday evening,
several veterans of the First Maine Cav.
airy met at Hotel Heselton for the pur.
pose Of efiecting local organization OF
those members of that regiment who live
In Skowhegan and vicinity. Many of the
survivors of that famous regiment live in
Somerset County and while there are 9TH
er local organ zations of the regiment,
1t was thought wise on account of the
number living in this neighborhood to
form branch association here. By In
yitation of the veterans several citizens
of the town were present, all of whom
after the organization was perfected,
we're made honorary members of the
same. Geo. b. Stafford was elected tenn
porary chairman and the following off,
GERS were elected for the ensuing year;
President DIR. S. A. Patten; Vice Presi-
dent, Llewellyn Goodwin; Secretary. Sc
we'll W. Smith; Treasurer, Zenas
Vaughan.
1t was voted to hold an annual reunion
of the local veterans of the First Maine
and that the time and place OF such meet
ing be left to the officers; and 1t was fur
Their decided that at the next reunion such
steps should be taken to strengthen the
organization as the officers should recon-
mend. The meeting then adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the officers.
Meanwhile Landlord Heselton had pre-
pared an elegant banquet and for two
hours the old veterans and new made ca :
alrymen fought over the battles, of the
war. Such bravery was displayed by
some of the new members that they we're
rapidly promoted with due form and care
mony through all the grades of office, and
one of the honorary members was so
rapidly elevated that, starting in as a
Corporal, he came out a General and
when the feast was over he commanded
the whole army.

the banquet

An interesting incident in the life Of
the late Mr.. Bradlaugh, M. p, has es-
capped notice in the many biographical
sketches. At time when Mr.. Brad
laugh was most In need Of money he
narrowly escaped coming in for wind
fall Of over e20, 900. A Barnstaple gentle
man named TubeSville-a brother Of
Mr.. r. D. Blackmore, the famous author
Of "Lorpa Doone"-had such an admira-
ton for the Junior member for North
adfHton that, after very short acquaint-
S6fe, he executed . viii in his favor.
Mr.. Tuberville died shortly afterward
at Yeovil under circumstances which
necessiteted IN inquest, and II then
transpired that another will in favor Of

Divorced All Around.

The true story is told of a one
time Lewiston man who several
years ago was divorced in the West.
He came East and married woman
who also had been divorced. They
travelled South few years later and
there, as they sat on the hotel We
randa, the Lewiston man bowed
coldly to lady who passed them
hanging on the arm of gentleman.
Curiously enough his wife also
bowed to the couple.
She said: "To whom did you
bow?"
"To the lady," said the Lewiston
man with a sort of flushed look on
his face. "She was once my wife.
To whom did you boy? Did you
know her2"
"No," said she, ~ bowed to the
gentleman. I once had the fortune
to know him intimately. He was
my husband"

A Restaurant Mans Plan.

One of the newest of the swell
restaurants in town has hit upon
novel way for securing high-class
customers. His plan is to ask the
rich men and gourmets who dine at
his place what dishes they are es-
pecially fond of and in what way
they have been prepared at home.
He then has his chef make the
dishes, and he calls them after the
customers who recommend them,
as if, for sake of example, he ehould
stew crabs in cream and call the
dish "crabs la Chauncey Depew, :
or as if he should put crusting OF
baked powdered cheese on stewed
cauliflower and name it, "Caulitower
a la Colonel Fellows"
It takes in nine cases out OF ten.
Men who like good living nearly all
have . knowledge Of cooking and
are proud to have it recognized

An Immigrants Impressions.

/ have a very lively remembrance
of the impressions / received on
the occasion of my arrival in the
United States, about forty years ago.

American institutions from what I
had learned of them in my college
studies. The ship that brought mo
over was scarcely fastened at the
dock before l ran up the nearest
street, and, standing in Broadway
near the Astor House, observed the
passers-by. From their appearance
they were mostly men who worked
for living, but nearly every one of
them bore himself as if he was a
sovereign. The expression of their
eyes seemed to say, 81 am second
to none; there is nothing so great
and so high that I cannot accom-
plish it. and l intend to fight my
way" Not speaking English, l saw
that it would be impossible for me
to obtain situation where l could

ing no means to speak of l took =

ual work in my life before. After
few hours my fingers were full Of
blisters, and in a few hours more
the blood was running down my
hands, but had been inspired with
the energy that l saw in the eyes of
those men on my arrival, and l con-
tinued, not disheartened by pains
or difficulties in my work. l had
received the baptism of the real
American spirit, and l was never
in my life 30 proud of anything as

sequence of my labors. The Forum.

A great deal of nonsense has been
talked about the question of whose
place it is to bow first when a lady
and gentleman meet upon the street
or in any public assembly.
It is very absurd to say that a
man should always wait until lady
has recognized him. In this, as in
most other matters, common sense
and mutual convenience are the
only guides. Many ladies are near
sighted; many others find great
difficulty in remembering faces.
Are they, because of these draw
backs, to be always debarred of the
pleasure of chance meeting with
some agreeable man7
The important thing, of course,
is that a man should not presume !;
that, for instance, he should not
speak to lady to whom he has
been merely introduced, unless she
shows some sign of willingness to
continue the acquaintance. Not to
lift his hat to her with Difference
would be rudeness, but he should
not stop to speak unless she makes
the first movement in that direction.
When two people meet who are
really acquainted, it is not the man
who should necessarily bow first, or
the lady-it is whichever Of them
is the first to perceive and recognize
the other.
If a lady is walking and meets q
man whom she knows well, and
who desires to speak with her, he
will, of course, not commit the
awkwardness of keeping her stand.
| ing in the street, but if he has time
will beg permission to join her for
| few moments and walk beside her
long enough for brief chat;
The lady, on her part, will make
| it easy for him to leave her when
they have exchanged the few pleas
ant sentences that belong to such
meeting.-Louise Chandler Moul'
ton. in American Cultivator.
