A Novel Scheme in Managing Savings
Banks.

This is what the Wilmington Times
calls the policy of the Hyde Park Saw
ings Banks practice of investing all
its funds In Vermont. 1t says:
A novel scheme in banking is that
of the Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company of Hyde Park, Yer
mont, in devoting its entire assets to
the fostering of Vermont enterprises
and developing Vermont industries.
That the scheme is safe as well as nov
ell, is proved by the fact that In the Is
years since its organization the bank
has never lost dollar on poor note
nor has 1t now, so far as Is known, a
single piece Of poor or doubtful paper.
This bank pays per cent compound
ed semi-annually on deposits of 500
or more.

The fact is brought home to them every

The Prudent Piper.

smoke room of the Deutschland.
Il like all music he said, except
such native and special sorts as the

hufaa give of.
Speaking of bagpipes, did you ever
notice how a piper Frances up and
down as he pipes? He never sits, he
never stands still, but up and down,
round and round, to and fro he struts
continually.
"a little boy, listening to the weird
skirl of the bagpipes of a street per
former, once said to his father:
Father, why does the piper keep
on the move all the time he plays?'
q can't say. my boy the father
answered, unless it is to prevent any
one getting the range with a cobble-

His client had been indicted for MUIR

A CHICAGO WoMAN's oesERvA
TON WHILE VISITING IN
BALTIMORE.
(From Chicago Tribune.)


While visiting recently in Baltimore,
Maryland, discovered something
which I know will be appreciated by
western women. Baltimore women,
you know, have a national reputation
for beautiful compilations and soon
after my arrival there 1 was eager to
learn what they used in treatment of
the skin, and I went to considerable
pains to ascertain.
The society women whom met had
no trace of powder or rouge upon their
faces, but at the same time had most
beautiful, soft, velvety compilations.
Well, they use no powder or rouge,
but a wash which is always prepared
at home in the following manner, and
is used universally by the most beau
tiful women there. 1t certainly works
wonders with even the poorest skin:
Obtain at a drug store, Rose water,
2 ounces; Cologne Spirits, L ounce;
Eppotone (skin food, 4 ounces.
Take these ingredients home. Dis
solve the Eppotone in pint of hot
water, and after dissolved strain
through a fine cloth and let cool.
Then add the Rose Water and Cologne
Spirits. You now have the finest
thing for the complexion that money
can buy, at very small cost.
