CHANCE FORECASTS.
Writers of Old Who DimIy Pointed TO
Modern Inventions.

Chance phrases in the literary works
IF other days describe with, uncanny
sxactness inventions of far later times.
For instance, we find in the "Prolu-
1ions" of Strada the Roman, which
were published in the year 1917, what
might be held to embody a crude de-
scription Of wireless telegraphy.
Strada represents two friends as car
Tying on a correspondence by means of
certain loadstone which has such
virtue in it that, if it touches two nee
dies when one of the needles begins to
move, the other, although at ever so
great a distance. moves at the same
time and in the same manner"
In 1914 Robert Hooke published a
work wherein he observed that as
glasses improve the vision so ways
might be found to improve our other
senses. "It is not impossible" says he,
ito hear a whisper a distance of fur
long. and perhaps the nature OF the
thing would not make 1t impossible al
though that furlong should be ten times
multiplied" This seems to be a fair
forecast of the telephone.
In "Gulliver's Travels" Swift causes
his hero to relate in the voyage to La
puta that the astronomers there have
likewise discovered the two lesser stars
or satellites which revolve about Mars"
This has been held to constitute sa-
tire on sham science. Nevertheless
Professor Asaph Hall few years ago
discovered the two tiny satellites.
1t was more than LOO years ago
that Lucian gave an account Of the
manner wherein the inhabitants of the
moon drank "air squeezed or compress
ed into a goblet so that IL formed
kind OF dew. This clearly suggests
liquid air.
The same writer in 'Vera Historic"
humorously and at some length de-
scribes an aerial ship the sails Of which
were inflated by a whirlwind. thus i'm

BOYS AND GIRLS,
SAVE YOUR NICKELS.

There is nothing that contrib
utes more to health, happiness and
long life than thrift.
Having this in mind, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank has adopted
ideas and methods with reference
to promoting thrift in the mind
OF the Vermont boy-and the YER
mont girl as well-which are re-
garded by some bankers as con-
trary to the rules of good banking.
In other words, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank will receive depos-
its of any size, however small, be-
cause it believes that in so doing
it is encouraging the boy and girl
to become thrifty. Starting a
bank account with a nickel or
dime involves an absolute loss to
the bank accepting so small a de-
post, unless other deposits are
made later on. But banks, al
though their managers do not
always realize it, are incorporated
for the public good, and so the
Hyde Park Bank, realizing it's
duty to the general public, says
to the boy or girl who is willing
to begin saving, " Come on with
your deposits, however small, the
bank will take its chances on your
becoming a larger banker later on.
Very few boys and girls realize
the wonderful power of compound
interest. The Hyde Park Bank
pays four per cent. and compounds
emi-annually and pays all taxes
and at this rate boy commencing
at ten years of age to save a dime
a day, and continuing to save that
sum, will have

fishing, swimming, baseball games

Which is the better, to spend this
dime per day for cigarettes, beer,
or other worse than useless things
and late in life be candidate for
the poor-house, or to save it and
be independent ? The poet Burns
expresses his ideas of independence
in the following lines addressed to
young friend. They may well
be committed to memory by every
boy and girl:
"To catch dame Fortunes golden mile,
Assiduous wait upon her;
And gather gear by ev'ry vile
That's justified by honor;
Not for to hide it in hedge,
Nor for a train-attendant;
But for the glorious privilege
OF being independent"
Remember the Hyde Park Bank

safety and in its twenty-four years
of existence has been so painstaking
and conservative that it has never
lost a dollar by a poor note.
It's managers are all Vermonters

in any way.
1t is perfectly safe to send your
money to the Hyde Park Bank by

depositor sending his money to the
Hyde Park Savings Bank.

! Monte Carlo Just Smiles at Them and
Keeps on Winning.
There are only two games played at
Monte Carlo-roulette and a simple
card game called trente ct guarantee
One is assured that these games are
played quite fairly and that the per
centage in favor of the bank is 81 to
60. Whatever it may be. this certain
percentage in favor of the tables over
comes all systems that human ingenuity
can work out by any law of averages.
NJ. Blanc will permit you to play any
way you like. and to double your bet
as often as you like until it reaches
6,000 francs at roulette or 10000 francs
at trente ct quarante Then you must
begin over again. for it is quite clear
that If one were permitted to double
indefinitely 1t would only be a ques-
ton Of time and sufficient money to
put NJ. Blanc out of business.
Thus It happens that NJ. Blanc, who
takes no chance, wins against all those
who are permitted to take any sort of
chance they like. Sir Hiram Maxim
disposed OF all systems when he shat
tered a popular delusion in these words:

On the morning Of June 28th, in
the quiet of her home where she
had passed all her married life, sur
rounded by her family, Mrs. Hay
ward peacefully closed her eyes to
the scenes of time, that she might
behold the glories Of eternity.
Persis n. Kezer was born in the
town of Topsham Nov. 20, 1S48,
youngest daughter of Gorham and
Elvira Kezer. She was married
Jan. l, 1867, to Putnam Hayward
of Topsham. While wearisome
days and nights of suffering were
her appointed portion at the close
of life, she endured all with that
patient spirit which gave evidence
of the truth of the Lord s promise,
"My grace is sufficient for thee"
Mrs. Hayward was one of Christ's
trustful followers, and faithfully
served Him, whose favor is ! life
She was prominently a mother,
she was brightness in the home, it
was here that the pure gold of her
christian character shone most
brilliantly. The atmosphere of
home was sweetened by her pres
ence, charged with her love, and
exalted by her faith. Faith and
love in her home were joined with
ceaseless industry and beautiful
resignation. Her hands were new
er idle, until her last illness she
busted herself about her household
duties. The cheerful, hopeful kind
ly word was her note of harmony.
A partial reward to her kindly life
was family of children who were
as devoted to her as children could
be, and those away from home
readily responded to the call,
Come, mother is sick" The home
the church and community sustain
ed a loss in her going away,
but her life influence will go on,
though her lips are closed in death,
"she yet speaketh." Funeral ser
vices were held at her late home

tor, Rev. D. NJ. Mckinley. She
is survived by her husband, Put

Mistakes of Bible Makers :

A book compiled by Nathan Haskell
Dole recounts some Of the mistakes we
make In supposed historical facts, In
quotations, in pronunciation and the
like. 1t has many bits of out of the
way information. including the follow
ing:
In the English rendering of Ruth iv,
Z. s, 1t reads: "A man plucked off his
shoe and gave it to his neghbor: and
this was n testimony in Israel. There
fore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy
1t for thee. SO he drew off bis Shoe"
The Hebrew word nagaI is said to
mean sandal only when 1t is followed
by regi, The foot When 1t stands by
itself 1t means glove. The German
word glove illustrates this, for hand
schuh means "handshoe." Therefore
the token given in the passage cited
WAS really glove.
The passage from the New Tesla
ment "Be ye, therefore, wise as SER
pents and harmless as doves" should
read simple rs doves" as the Greek
word really means unmixed. therefore
guileless.
Evil communications corrupt good
manners" probably was cited by Paul
as an already familiar proverb, for 1t
was written by Meander, the Grecian
comic poet.
