BURGLAR5 MAKE A coon HAUL.
Blow Up Bank Sale and steal About
S2,OOO.
Ashburnham, Mass, Jan. 9.-The
First National Bank Of Ashburnham
was robbed early this morning.
Burglars blew open the safe with
dynamite, and secured between 800
and $1,000.
Much damage was occasioned by the
explosion.
Deputy Sheriff William II. Richard.
son, whose home is next TO the bank
building, was awakened by the shock
of a heavy explosion which made his
house tremble and made the windows
rattle. Locating the source Of the ex-
plosion he at once gave the alarm and
thorough examination of the place
was made.
The bank IS on the second floor Of
two-story brick building. The street
door of the main entrance had been
forced open with jimmy and SINH
lar process was applied to the door OF
the bank up stairs. The burglars evil
IDENTIFY charged the iron safe heavily
with dynamite for the safe had boon
found half way across the room and q
bar of iron had been blown through
window and nearly across the street.
All the windows in the place were de-
molished and the furniture was badly
splintered. A large quantity of notes
and drafts and about 500 in money
was found scattered about the floor.
Cashier Sawyer, who arrived at the
building early, at once began an ex-
animation of his books and valuables.
Owing to tho complete wreck of the
safe his task was a difficult one, but
carly today he made an estimate that
the robbers had taken at least 81, 500
and perhaps the plumber might amount
to $1,000.
The loss to the building will prob
ably amount to $1,000. 1t is not be-
lieved that any large quantity of notes
or drafts was taken.

Many people wonder how banks use all the money deposited in them and how they manage Co pay interest there on and yet come out at the end of the year with big profit on the business
 What they do is trade with the mon ey. To the depositor they pay between and per cent but the money they lend brings them in 8. 0. G. and even 5 per cent
 For instance. they give loans on an sorts of securities, such as railway debentures. government stock. public company shares. dock warrants. bills of lading etc.
 They also lend money on theIsecurity of houses and land, but not to a great extent as repayments are slow
 When a couple of substantial business men or farmers or professional men back a bill. the bank often lends with ont any security at alL but now and again they have heavy and ruinous losses on these loans
 All banks. however, have large sums of money constantly lying idle for they must keep sufficient cash at the various branches to pay checks and even Co be more or less prepared for Tanics Still the difference between Che [ Or per cent they pay and the Co x they rc- ceive on millions of dollars leaves them an immense profit on the year 's-husi- ness

There are four beasts in the world that can give long odds in the way of ugliness to anything elso that lives
 One of them is monkey, a grewsome looking beast called the bearded saki. This is SO utterly grotesque beast that it would scarcely be safe to let a child or nervous person see it. The ugliness is not of an amusing kind. but of an evil. sinister nature The beast has a sort of beard and a countenance unlike anything else in shape and lines The monkey itself is not particularly snv- age. but is so hideous that the natives of its country. South America. say that DO beast of prey, however hungry will tackle it. Even a hungry jaguar would starve in a cageful of sakis.
 Then there is a tree climbing beast that is as queer a nondescript as one could hope to see. lt has a sharp face and long. jointed fingers and is called the aye-aye. from it's cry. This looks like one of the most appallingly weird of all those strange beasts one sees in nightmares and cannot get away irom' but. like the sakis, is of gentle dispo- sition. It lives in South Africa. A full grown aye-ayc looks like blend Of jackal. pig and monkey. Then there Is the Tasmanias devil of the antipodes. which is as savage as it is ugly. and. lastly. a species of Asiatic ground rat called the bund

 Although diluted eel serum may pro- tect an animal from SO deadly poison as viper venom. the converse does not hold good; the serum of yipers is no protection against the poison of eels serum. Serum obtained from animals gradually trained up to withstand fatal doses of serpent venom differs from or- dinary serum in the astonishing rapidity of its action.

 He made his apprentices go to church as well and demanded the text when tbey camo home as n proof of attend ance. Ans. he little knew that the bows were larking an the morning, and when the congregation came out stop ped the old wom,I and got the text from them
 However, those who went elsewhere formed the majority. The fields round the town were filled with companies of men. called rural societies, who ram bled about all the morning and dined together at a tavern The high consta- bles went their rounds among the will lages pretending to prevent proclamation of the day, but they were squared by the publicans.
 lnformcrs were about threatening pubicans barbers and greengrocers for carrying on trade on the Sunday morn ing unless they paid a little blackmail A shilling was understood to meet the cuse. Barbcrs sent their apprentices on Sunday morning to shave the prisoners in the Fleet for nothing so that they might get practice
 Children were baptized after after noon service, and supper was given aftorward to celebrate the occasion At this supper the nurse it was allowed. could blamclcssly get drunk
 The beadler of churches were bribed by beggars to let them sit on the steps and ask charity of the congregation coming out. It was the best business of thc week. The rails before the houses of gentlemen were crowded with beg gars.
 When the ladies got home after church. they did not disdain Co slap their servant if dinner Was delayed. The fields between the Tottonham court road and the Foundling hospital were the resort of the sporting fraternity who were assembled Co enjoy the inno- cent diversions of duck hunting and eat hunting. with prizodghtns. quar. terstan. wrestling and other sports
 The pleasure gardens were open an day long People crowded Co them in the early morning for brcalfast and staid all day. At ? there was am orli- nary. in the afternoon and evening an organ recital there was tea in Che al- covcs, and in the evening there was supper
