The savings bank managers of this state
are disposed now and always have been
to favor Maine investments whenever it
can be done without sacrificing the two
essential elements of safety and comverta-
bility. Without any stimulus whatever
they will go in that direction as far as a
proper regard for the welfare of their
depositors will justify. 1t they go
further under this bill it will be because
the mandate of the state and the pres
sure of misguided and thoughtless de-
positors for large returns compel them
to violate the dictates of their own
Judgment. Many of the disasters to
our savings banks in the past have re-
suited not from too little liberality in the
matter of Maine investments, but from too
great. All legislation in regard to saw
ings banks should be directed toward in
creasing the security of the money de-
posted in them. It should be all of it
in the interest of the lenders, that is the
depositors. 1t should encourage saw
ings bank managers to seek Investments
that are safe and can easily be converted
into money. Even so laudable purpose
is to increase and foster the enterprises
of the state should not betray the legis
lature into any action which shall tend
in the slightest degree to obscure the
importance of the essential elements
of safety and convertability. A great
and sufficient objection to the bill under
consideration is that it tends in this di-

An Indian Romance.

The dowager maharanee of Mysore,
who recently died, had a remarkable
career. While scarcely ten years of age
she insisted on sharing all her younger
brothers studies, and in five years she
mastered Sanskrit, Canares, and Ma
rathl, while not neglecting music,
drawing, and needlework. When
sixteen she was chosen as the fourth
bride of the late maharaja, but before
she could be sent her father, who
was a petty official, was summoned to
court to answer for the short revenue of
his village. Only when ordered to be
whipped was it discovered who he was.
He was forgiven, the marriage was
celebrated on the first lucky day, and
the young queens benign infiuenc ce
was at once and thenceforth felt in
the affairs of the state.-Pall Mall

COLOR AND SEASON.

fhe Result of an Interesting but Limlte d
Observation by Canadian.
A charming occupation for the minds
and eyes of all who love flowers is sug-
gested by recent investigation made
IN Canada concerning the relation of
doral colors to the time of the HOVER
ng. Mr. A. I. Drummond announces
Is the result of his observations on this
subject that April, May and June, and
to some extent July, are remarkable
for the prevalence of white flowers.
In July the yellow flowers begin to
prevail and their reign seems to culmt-
nate in August, which is the month par
excellence of golden hues. In Septem-
Der and October the ascendancy passes
to blue and purple blossoms.
One cannot help noticing that this
march of color among the flowers, car
rving them from white in the spring to
blue in the autumn, recalls the sup
posed progression of age among the
stars as indicated by their colors.
1t has been generally thought al
though the fact has not yet been finally
dem onstrated, that the white stars are
the youngest, the yellow stars rep
resent the mid-season of solar life, and
that the deeply colored stars, red, pur-
ple and blue, are those which are fast
passing into decadence. If this is true,
then in the heavens also we may say
white is the color of springtime and
purple the badge of the season of de-
cay.
But Mr.. Drummond's observations on
the flowers pertain only to those which
flourish in the provinces of Quebec and
Ontario. There is peed of additional
investigation of this interesting sub
iect, and every one who has sufficient
love for the beautiful objects of nature
should observe and report the results.

hale and hearty man of one hundred
and thirteen years of age. He had
tramped the whole distance from Luga,
some eighty-fve miles, and showed no
weariness, while many of his moro
youthful companions were much dis
tressed by the journey. His age was
properly attested by baptismal papers
he carried with him.

side street discarded hoopshirt, rusty
and old. Some years ago this would
have been familiar enough sight al

this could be one of the old ones which
had got into the street here, or whether
it was one of the newer crop already

Franklin W. Smith, the wealthy
architect of Boston, who is trying to
get congress to make an appropriation
for great national gallery of history
and art, is energetically presenting his
ideas to the San Francisco public just
at present, lecturing on the Importance
of his plan. He proposes to give large
sum himself toward the buildings, and
hopes to induce the art-loving people OF
the country to give enough more to
complete them.
Daniel Colladon, who has just died
In Switzerland, was the first man to-
apply compressed air to the transmits
sion of force. In 1S41 he first applied
the results of his observations upon the
properties of liquids, in carrying lumin-
Gus waves projected at their source,
and at the Paris exposition of 1889 the
idea was carried out on grand scale.
Colladon first lit Geneva with gas in
1912, and in 1862 he was asked to illumi-
nate Naples in the same way.

AT one time a case of very trihing
Importance, which had well nigh run

before the supreme court of Vermont.

The arrest on Monday OF August VI. Cognoos
a well-known commission merchant OF NO. -

day among merchants in this city who have done
business with Mr. Collignon for the last twenty
years. Mr.. Colgnons arrest was brought about
by an order issued by Judge Barrett OF the

forced to ask his creditors take 50 cents on the
