Discovering Ones Best.

There are times in our education
when it is well for us to cultivate our
own gifts, stand apart to discover
what 1t is that We can best do, find
our own best way of contributing to
the great family to which we belong
There may be years when we have to
do that But then at last we must
begin to long to carry back our gift
and employ it with and for the rest.
Unless we can get our drop of in
fuence or truth or ability into some
bucket or other it will hardly be felt
and may disappear altogether.-The
Sunday School Times.

He Saw Pompeli DESTROYED,

Perhaps the most famous descrip-
lions of the destruction of Pompeii by
Vesuvius in the year 70 are the let
tiers of Pliny the Younger Both he
and his uncle, Pliny the Elder, were
near Pompeii at the time the city
was destroyed, but Pliny the Elder,
venturing too close to the scene, was
killed. It is only in recent years that
this city, which had been buried for
centuries, was uncovered by the Ital-
ian government. Now the traveller can

American Airs.

"A woman recently back from for
eign parts has a grievance against the
way in which military bands there
play American airs, states the New
York Press. To begin with, says this
woman, two-thirds Of the bands and
orchestras Of Europe think "Dixie" is
the national air, and this mistake is
not difficult to comprehend, as ap-
plause generally greets this tune
Next in popularity comes Columbia,
Gem Of the Ocean," and, strange to
say, then comes 'Old Dan Tucker"
No amount Of expostulation avails
to change this notion. "The Star
Spangled Banner" is reserved for SOL
emn occasions, and it must be con-
fessed Americans are not wildly en-
thusiastic over it. Not one in thou
sand remembers three lines Of the
verses, not even the school children
who shout them every day. Mary

During its more than twenty-three
years of existence, the Hyde Park Saw

note, a poor stock or poor bond.
This can only mean that its managers
possess great conservatism, excellent
Judgment and painstaking care.
1t means a close adherance to the
motto of the bank from its start, namely:
"Safety first, last and always" "high
rates of interest-never."
Deposits in this bank receive 4 per
cent interest, compounded semi.annually,
with all the taxes paid by the Bank.

COSTLY FIRE
EARLY THIS
MORNING

Fire broke out this morning in the
Transformer House of the Electric
Light Co., and before the fireman ar
rived the place was practically gutted,
destroying much valuable electrical ma
chinery.
The fire was discovered about $50 a.
M, but owing to the inability to reach
Central, the alarm was not turned in
until 8. Fortunately there was no nigh
wind blowing or most disastrous fire
would have been the result, as the build
ing, which is in the rear of Skillins
stable, is surrounded by several wooden
frame structures, which if once started,
there would have been no stopping.
The illumination caused by the confa-
grafton caused many people to think the
Essex House was afire.
The building contained valuable trans
formers, which were filled with oil,
which probably was the reason that the
fire burned so fiercely.
Mr.. j. s. Sweeney, when interviewed
this morning regarding the lights, said,
"That it would be impossible to tell
how long the town would be without
electricity until All expert, which has
been sent for, arrived.
The loss is roughly estimated between
five and ten thousand dollars. The
cause is unknown, although it is sup
posed to have started from crossed wires.
