A Scientific TOy.

Glue around the inside of the rim of
circular dish of white porcelain number
of little cardboard figures of men or ami
mails. Place this dish in an ordinary dish
of larger size and having its center slightly
elevated. You will have to give only a
slight impulse with the hand to the small
er plate to set it spinning within tho larger
dish usually of tircproof French china).
Should the larger dish not be raised in the
center, you have only to pour into it lit
tie water, enough to just float the inner
dish. A statuette or other small object to
serve as winning post should be placed
just outside the larger dish.
Thus arranged the apparatus may af-
ford much amusement to number of per-
sons, each one backing any figure he
pleases, the person whose figure stops

Tho Opera house was crowded, last
evening, to witness the performance OF
the Naturalization of Du Maurier's famous
novel. Many people from Waterville,
ence.
The cast was strong one, and the per
formance was in all respects artistic.
Tho work of George Fawcett, in the
character of Svengali, was very realistic.
All of the characters were well made up to
represent the conceptions shown in Du
Maurers original sketches.
Boyd Putnam made strong Taffy, and
Chas Garfield took the part OF the Laird
very accepUably.
Miss Sybil tombstone as Trilby, was
strong in some respects and passable in
others-strong in those portions of the
play that brought out the bon homie OF
her comradeship with her artist friends
passable in the parts that exhibited her as
the creature of Svengali. On the whole,
though, her work possessed much merit,
ana in point of makeup, she admirably
embodied the Trilby of Du Maurier S
original sketches. Her acting called forth
considerable applause.
The minor parts of the play were well
taken, and the company was, on the whole,
a ell-balanced one The performance
held the closest attention of the audience
from start to finish, and will rank as one
of the dramatic successes of the year.

A canvass of Augusta shows total Q

A canvass Of Augusta shows total of
some 1000 homes, and the members of
only about 900 of these homes attend
church. So that more than so per cent.
of the people of Augusta are non-church-
goers. These are somewhat startling
figures, but they are absolutely correct.
While we would not suggest the suspen-
sion of help to foreign or home missions,
we would respectfully urge upon Christian
people the propriety of a little more work
at their very doors. The welfare of your
next door neighbor ought to weigh as
heavily upon your soul as that of some
dark skinned Hottentot, thousands of
miles away, or some pappoose in the icy
region of Alaska But to great many
people, in religious matters, os in all
others, s'distance lends enchantment to
the view. Maine Farmer.

For the Banks.
With SO many bank robberies all
around us it is not surprising that there
should be some measineSs among deposi-
tors. In general, however, the New
Yorker has clear head He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quito understand the
mystery of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin because he
has seen the banks of tho city stand to-
gether i'll support of weakened institu-
ton. am reminded Of what happened
to Green Morris, tho turfman, who lived
Ill Brooklyn and raced horses on all the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit. He
had big year of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end of the sea-
son check from tho association for
SGT 900. Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
Worn.
"Why, Green" said reproachfully,
"this check is IS months old. What do
you mean by keeping it so long? 1t is
nearly worn out Don't you know that
check should be deposited at once or
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail?"
Green chucliled knowingly and wink
ed as he folded it up and put it back in
his pocketbook.
81 amt been racin bosses for nothin
these goin on nigh 20 year. I amt got
no faith III no banks. They's too much
failin to suit me. That's Whit I've allus
been afraid of, an that's why I'm holdin
OH to my check. [ amt a-goin to have
no bank failin with my money in tho
