Price los and interest yielding net
return of about Al per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May list, 1893,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
OF the total authorized mortgage,
$780, 900 bonds are already outstanding,
and $220,00O will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this 1920, 900, we shall receive
for delivery $3.50, 900 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no more of the bonds until
August, 1896.

granted in 1890, and is perpetual This

It will be noticed first, that the operat-

motors, / snow plough, / mile new

gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings we're sufficient to pay the in

this new block of $220,0O0, tarice ouer.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the

present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900. which sells
in the home market at 115 to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 1000.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have costin 1892, is at least $3.50, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are a legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, S175.0OO of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning a better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

up some new sources of revenue. The
customs schedules of the Wilson bill
have not produced the revenue expect-

is eliminated, it will fall snort of sup

Secretary Carlisle's speech at Covina

Secretary Carlisle's speech at Coving-
ton shows that the secretary is in full
accord with the President in his views
as regards silver. This has not always
been the case, as the secretary practi-
cally admitted in his speech, though lie
denies that his convictions in regard
to the effect of free coinage are any
different now from what they have been
in the past. The question Inconsistency
aside-and his Kentucky free silver
friends can be trustd to make the most
of that-it must be admitted that the
secretary has presented the objections
TO the United States und king alone
to feat silver very forcibly He shows
that in all probability the free coinage
of silver means simply silver monomet-
alism, since gold would be driven out
by it, and in consequence a general
loss OF confidence followed by great
losses, especially to the classes that are
least able to bear them.

Some Everyday Mistakes.

Current natural history is sometimes
very amusing. An observant country
boy can give you more reliable informa-
ton in half an hour than many Of the
writer's who are accepted as authority.
Two examples Of the fallacies Of the
latter have been going the rounds. One
was an article on the cricket, which
was described as a very dainty insect
with a delicate appetite. There is in
reality but one that is more voracious,
and that is the cockroach. The cricket
has a robust taste for almost anything,
especially farinaceOus matter, and it is
very destructive to clothing. A house
keeper had her lace curtains eaten up,
and the writer remembers once visiting
in u house where the walls had been
ceiled and papered. The paper hung
loose here and there, due to the crickets
that gnawed through to get at the paste
that had been used by the paper hangers.
Another story was of the marvellous
self control Of a man who discovered
that a black snake had concealed itself
in the pocket Of his coat, which he had
thrown aside in the field and donned
again, very stupidity, without discover
ing the reptile. This Of itself was sur
prising, as it is generally from four to
five feet in length and and weighs sew
eral pounds. The black snake Of the
northern middle states is a. harmless as
the toad, and, moreover, is extremely
cowardly. Its greatest fault is its de-
structiveness of young birds-the broods
OF those species which nest in low shrubs
or upon the ground. But a man might
carry n in each pocket and come to
no harm. if his pockets tere large
enough and if he did not have the in
herent animosity of mankind toward
reptiles. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Sioux City, after years OF search, have
finally discovered the remains OF Ser
geant Charles Floyd, the first United
States soldier to die within the Louisi-
ana Purchase, and whose remains were
buried on FlQyd's Bluff. nea Sioux
City,. The association will deposit the
remains, as recently found, in a sealed
casket and replace them in the grave on
Floyd's Bluff and for the present erect a
marble slab to mark the grave until a
suitable monument can be erected to
his honor. August 20, 1895, is set for
this memorable occasion and a ceremony
betting this great historical event will
be held on the ground. DR.. James d.

man some questions about himself when
he shouted:

Grasping a corner Of the tablecloth
firmly in one hand, the prince rushed
around the room, pulling the crockery
of on the floor in a heap, knocking owe
the furniture and finally winding her
ladyship up in the folds Of the cloth.
He then bolted> for the door, leaving the
countess suffering and shouting and
the servants running about in a distract
ed way to liberate their mistress and
quiet her rage.
In the hubbub and confusion the
prince escaped. The next day a check
from the keeper Of the privy purse set
tied the amount of the damages and
likewise established the identity of the

Humming Birds and Flower.

1t has long been known that insects
assist plants by carrying the f~ertilizing
pollen from flower to flower, but the
fact has only recently been.prominently
brought forward that humming birds
are just as effective distributors of pol
len as insects are.
1t has been shown that these little
birds, which are as fond as bees Of the
honey OF flowers, carry the pollen grains
IN great quantity, not only ON their
feathers, but on their long bills also. In
deed. so well suited is the humming
bird to do this work Of distribution,
without any intention of its own. that
the question has been raised whether it
may not be the most beneficent Of all

have in the animal world. Youth 3

THE NEBuLAR THEORY.
How, According to 1t, tho Sum and the
Planets Were Formed.

How, According to 1t, tho Sun and the
Planets Were Formed.
The finite mind can hardly conceive
of a time when there was neither sun
nor planets, yet both the Bible and sci-
ence teach US that such a state of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account Of creation, and not
q few Of us have spent valuable time
reading learned essays on the condition
Of things in the time Of 1.-THE begin
ming" 1t is not the object of this
"note'' to discuss the origin Of the sun
and the planets from a Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean to give a resume
Of scientific opinions on the subject. On
the contrary, we shall confine u r re-
marks to what is known as the 'nebu-
lar hypothesis or nebular theory Of
the origin of worlds and suns.
According to the opinion of the most
learned astronomers, the "beginning''i is
ushered in with the existence through
out all space Of an undefinable matter
of substance called ''nebula." This neb-
ula was of such wonderful thinness that
it is believed that millions of miles Of
1t could have easily been compressed in
to a common thimble. The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
common centers after the lapse Of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat of the two latter be-
ing due to the clashing of their compo-
lent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center Of the mass.
The nebula origin Of the sun and in
cidentally of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in a recent article by a
we'll known British writer: The matter,
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the farthest
orbit of the outermost planets Of our
system-thct is, to the planet Neptune.
From the orbit Of Neptune this incon-
ceivably thin mass began to converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached

To-day is fraught with great conse-

ex- Treasurer Taylor, the defaulter,

it gets that far into business on the
opening day. Judge Gaffey, a fearless,
upright and conscientious Judge in all
things thus far in his court, feels the
importance OF this case and has called to
his aid Judge Campbell Of Aberdeen.
Ordinarily the restitution, penitence and
subsequent conduct OF a criminal weighs

Washing Dirty Linen.

Washing dirty linen in public" is
probably an old proverbial saying. 1t
was made famous by Napoleon, who
used it in a speech to the chamber of
deputies in 1914 to intimate that differ
ences between the parties in France
should not become a matter Of public
scandal.
