We learn that the two savings banks OF
this city have each determined to make the
coming April dividends at the rate Of three
and one-half per cent. per annum. For
some time past the dividends have been at
the rate of four per cent, but it is the policy
of these banks to make absolute safety ratl-
er than a high rate of interest their control
ling motive of action in making investments.
For some time past the best securities have
been placed at very low rates. This fact
and the fear of adverse legislation have con-
strained our savings banks to slightly reduce
their dividend. Wing & Courier.

A Maine man is to cook for people all

when the Columbian Exposition is on in

A salutary Object Lesson.

In many ways the United States have
educated the world in politics, and l,
for one, do not hesitate to say that
their scheme of government is the best
that has ever been established by ma
;tion. But in nothing do we owe more
TO the Americans than for their having
afforded us the great object lesson of a
state pursuing the even current of it's
way without that meddling in the af-
fairs of other states which has been
the bane of European powers. Here
we have country, rich, powerful, in
dustrial and commercial, yet never
troubling itself with what happens out
side its frontiers, or annexing foreign
lands on the plea of philanthropy, or
on the ground that in some centuries
its area will be too small for its popu-
1ation, or in order to create markets
for its goods And what is the result?
No one dreams of attacking the United
States or of picking a quarrel with
them.-London Truth.

A Country Where Strangers Are Always
Welcome.

A Country Where Strangers Are Always
Welcome.
The Piedmontese are to a great ex-
tent the untraveled inhabitants of an
untraveled country. Curiosity mingles
with kindness in their eagerness to see
strangers within their doors, and any
wayfarer who chooses to make him
self agreeable, and can break the mo-
notony of their sequestered existence,
repays them amply for his entertain
ment. The author of Country Life i'll
Piedmont" says:
Unbounded hospitality is character
istic of all thriving agricultural dis
tricts. Those who gather from a plen-
tiful land the fruits which most imme-
diately contribute to mans sustenance,
are always glad to share with friends
and guests the bounties which might
otherwise be wasted.
Every one has heard of the peasant
girl who pressed king to partake OF
some apples, assuring him that what
he did not take would be given to the
pigs"
once threw a word across the hedge
to group of rustics who were gather
ing their walnuts, to congratulate them
on the bountiful harvest.
YES" they cried out, joyously, hold
ing up their baskets and aprons. Have
some! have some! There's enough for
cats and dogs this year"

Fresh Suggestions Regarding the Arrange.
ment of Feminine Costumes.
Low-necked Innings, under hig'
wasted corsages of diaphanous fabrics,
are seen at all fashionable summer re-
sorts. The sleeves as a rule, are I'M
lined, but made excessively full.
Plain Chambray and French zephyr
dresses for morning wear have seam
less, shirred princess backs. with fronts
pointed and finished either as corse-
let with guimpe or in surplice form
with folds coming from the shoulders.
Nearly all the pretty zephyrs, lawns
and French batistes are finished on the
slirt-hem with tiny ruches or small
tapping frills made of the dress goods.
Some of the ruffles have a tiny edge Of
'Valenciennes or torchon lace, and the
entire width of the three frills does not
exceed three inches A similar set is
placed half way up the length of the
skirt. Handsome toilets of silk, mus
lin, French organdy, etc, are trimmed
on the bottom of the skirt with fam
PLATED lace ruches, or Tapped lace
edged frills of the goods, with lightly
twisted ribbon and standing Empire
lbows as heading.
Tea gowns for the summer are made
Iof beautiful crepons of light ground,
lstrewn with flowers, also of lowered
dotted Swiss muslin, tambOured or
gandy and soft undressed India mulls.,
Most of the new gowns have blouse
vests lightly girdled, Elton fronts be-
Iyond, and rather narrowly plated
Vatican back. The popular Queen
Anne sleeve, with fullness dropping to
ia lace frill at the elbow, is used for
these dresses. On other gowns, pictur-,
esque bretelles of wide, beautiful lace
extend over the shoulders from belt to
belt, with a falling ruille of the same
around the slightly open neck.
English serge dresses for the beach
ARE in colors of tan, brown, marine
blue, and Neapolitan red, and a num-
Eber of the red gowns are made up with
a yoke of tan crepon gathered quite
full above the corselet. The bishop
sleeves are of red serge with very deep
forearm portion of tan color. Seaside
land mountain suits are made of alpaca
combined with striped wash-silk in
cream and pink, ecru and green, violet
land reseda, etc. Plain brown and
'dove-colored alpacas for travelling and
morning dresses have Elton jackets
open over cherry-red silk bloc,ses, with
capes en- suite lined with red surah.-

A DUCKS SENSE OF DIRECTION.
The Fowl Is Not as Dull as Is Commonly
Supposed.

According to James Payne, who
writes in the Illustrated London News,
the duck has been supposed to be the
dullest of all birds, so much so as to
reply in the affirmative to the invita-
ton: "Dilly, dilly, come and be killed"
A correspondent in New Zealand sup
plies me, however, with an anecdote
to the contrary:
81 live on the shore of the harbor,
and have friend who dwells on the
opposite shore eleven miles from me in
q straight line. He lives up narrow
creek, and in coming to my place he
has to pass number of other creeks
on either side, then several islands and
finally to cross stretch of open water
about four miles across, where q swift
tide runs and where there is often
heavy sea. A few weeks ago this
friend came to see me and brought
with him as present common drake
which had been bred on his place and
had never been hundred yards from
the house. 1t came over in the bottom
of the boat, where it could see nothing
but the sky, with its legs tied. When
he gave it to me turned it adrift with
my own ducks and thought no more
about it, and, in fact, never saw it
again. When saw my friend, how
ever, some time after, he told me that
on the morning after his visit to me he
was awakened by a great commotion
and quaclSing in his duckyard, and on
going out to see what was the matter
he saw the drake which he had brought
over to me waddling up to the in
closure in rather n travel-worn condi-
tion, while his brethren were welcom-
Ing him as one restored to them from
the dead"
Considering what this drake accom-
plished, my correspondent justly con-
Siders his achievement entitled to be
coupled with that of the other circum-
navigator, his namesake.

A TRUSTY GUARDIAN.
The Remarkable Intelligence OF an Eng
UEh MastiR.

J The Remarkable Intelligence of an Eng
ush MastiR.
More than forty years ago, in 1851,
visited a party of friends in the Ben
digo gold fields in Australia, where l
was cordially welcomed. Among the
valued possessions of my friends, says
writer in st. Nicholas, was an Eng
lish mastiff, which belonged to one Of
the gentlemen.
The good understanding between
myself and the mastiff appeared to
have become SO well established dur
ing the evening, that on the next day
left the claim where my friends were
at work to fetch kettle of tea from
the tent, without the least misgivings
as to my reception by him.
"Rex," who was always allowed to
run loose, came forward to meet me.
He allowed me to stroke his head, and,
SO far as could see, showed no inter
est in my movements as | entered the
tent and took drink of the tea. But,
when started to leave the tent with
the kettle in my hand, imagine my as
constituent when ] saw the supposed
friend Rex facing me, and showing his
teeth in very threatening way. 1
put down the kettle, seated myself on
the edge of the campbell and spoke to
him. He wagged his tail and looked
so friendly that thought | must have
made mistake about his intentions.
Not at all. The moment / attempted
to leave the tent with the kettle, had
reason to know that Rex's broad
grin was no mere notion, but, on the
contrary, real sign that he was true
to his trust as he understood it.
talked to him again, set down the
kettle, and attempted to leave without
it. Still Rex objected. He had his
doubts, and determined to give his
masters the benefit of them. There was
no help for it; was held prisoner, and
could do nothing but sit down and
wait patiently for one of the party to
come to my relief. No one came until
nearly an hour later, by which time
my long absence had caused my
friends to suspect that I was being
held prisoner by Rex. l bore the dog
no grudge for his faithful zeal, and in
a few days found he would let me come
and go, and take whatever wished.
