 TALKING BATH IN JAPAN.-We made our host understand that we wanted a bath, and soon all hands were busy bring ing wooden pails of water into the yard. We noticed that with each pail arrived half dozen nqulsitive-looking natives, who had evidently scented some novelty in the air.
 At last the water was ready, and we were told that we could have our bath. "But what about all these people?" we asked, pointing to the crowd of women and children assembled in the yard. "Oh, they've come to see" was the reply. Now Englishmen, as a rule, are modest beings and fancy that most men would feel 8 certain amount of bashfulness if called ence of 50 women and children, so M whispered to me: "I am going to bed dirty tonight unless those people cleal out" told him he must not think ot such base conduct, and reminded him ot the story in the "Pink Wedding" of the gentleman who refused his bath in the presence of the mOozmi attendant; how she went out and told her friends that the poor man was possessed of a caudal ap bondage; and how he had to flee the will lage to prevent maltreatment as an agent of the devil. My friend was persuaded and we stripped to the buff" As eact

 -Children's day was observed last Sabbath. The church was beautifully decorated with laurels, roses, and potted plants for the occasion. An interesting and we'll arranged program was finely rendered, the singing and speaking by the little ones being exceptionally good. The ordinance of baptism was conferred upon two beautiful children-Kirk Fetch CT, son of the pastor, and Harris John, son of John and Ida Hurlburt. An inter esting address was made by the pastor to the children. The services were heartily enjoyed by them, as well as by the "chil- dren of a larger growth"

The funeral of Mrs. Cynthia Reynolds last Friday was largely attended, and the floral display was bountiful and beautiful, contributed by friends in and out of town. The family plot was profusely adorned with flowers, tastefully arranged by friends who held her in high esteem. She was lineally descended from the pilgrims of the Mayfower, was 75 years old, and leaves husband and one daughter.
 The failure of the Natchaug Silk Go. of Willimantic, and consequent wrecking of First National and Merchants Loan and Trust banks of that city, is most of anything talked about just now, many parties in town holding stock and having deposits in the wrecked banks. That of- ficers of any bank should trust the entire capital of the banks to one company is surprising. These failures have caused heavy loss to the Dime Savings Bank, but with the surplus on hand could have borne the loss and continued business without interruption but for other bad or worth less paper held against other parties, with insufficient security. It is intimated that some notes held by the bank were taken on securities the directors had no right to take, and that they are thus personally liable for the loss. However that may be, it is foregone conclusion that the de- positors will sustain loss. The bank as reported last October, had in deposits $626, ,591, and only $7,3O2 of non-product- i've loans, but it is feared that the bank holds considerable amount of worthless paper. Probably one-haf the depositors have given notice to withdraw their de- pOsits, and the directors would scale the deposits if they could find any law to warrant them in doing it. If all the de- positors would agree to submit to scale 1t would be legal, otherwise the bank would have to go into the hands of a trus. tee or it could pass it's dividends, hoping in time to make up the banks loss.
 Our correspondent is evidently mis- taken as to the power of the directors tc scale down the deposits. If the assets have shrunken, as they probably have they would be remiss in duty to pay ou it's assets to those who came first, leav ing nothing for the last corners.

 KING PharaOh's Daughter, A Marvellous Illusion.
A Marvellous Illusion.

We are going to have on exhibition at our store, com mencing Thursday, June 2oth, and continuing for two weeks, the marvellous illusion, King Pharaoh's daughter, that has astonished and delighted so many millions of people at the Worlds Fair. It will be worth coming miles to see.
 The statue of Pharaoh's daughter stands erect and is surrounded with scenery pe- culiar to the Nile, and is draped in a classic gown of the time of Pharaoh, holding in its hands a basket in which reposes the infant Moses. Gradually color comes to the cheeks of the statue, the faint est blush which extending gives a flesh tint to the face, neck and hands; the stony hair becomes dark and dark CT, and finally the eyes, open, the lips move and the figure becomes a human entity.
 But mystery of mysteries the little Moses has gone from the basket, now a willow one filled with flowers. The stat ue is transformed in full view ofthe audience, and the change from a living woman back tc the statue is also made.
 [, We repeat again the illu. sion will be on exhibition d } our store, commencing Thurs day, June 2oth, and continuing till Wednesday, July 3d. I will be worth coming miles to see.

 The childrens day concert at the Baptist church Sunday was a very pleas ant and enjoyable entertainment, and there was an unusual large attendance. All who took part in it showed an un- usual interest in their speaking and sing ing. At the close the pastor, Geo. O.. Chappell, made some very appropriate remarks, advising the young people to be prompt and reliable always in business transactions, and also to ever be cheerful and happy, and, in conclusion, read the following original poetry:
 WHISTLE AS YOU GO. Gods world is not a grave-Ike place,
 Our life is not all woe, Why keep frown upon your face,
 And murmur as you go. By scowling you will only be
 Disheartened, don't you know? It is the worst philosophy
 To murmur as you go. But when your trials one assail,
 Don't cry, but rather crow, And to be sunny never fail, Anu WHlSGlo dS you go. In thy temptations be man,
 On storm clouds spy the bow, And ne'er forget the good old plan Of whistling as you go.
