JOHN De Y. SMITH. Vice Pre*.
H. J. KINDRED, Cashier,
Why? One reason, the New York
Evening Mail remarks, is that
science has done comparatively lit
tle against the noncommunicable dis-'
eases. Then medical science has
nursed along weak constitutions
which in earlier periods would have
succumbed in infancy or adolescence,
and has carried them across the
boundary of middle age. A third
reason, of course, is the increasing
complexity of life, which brings
heavier burdens and stresses and
overwhelms some persons as soon as
the impetus of their youthful vitali
ty is spent. A fourth reason is that
people do not replenish this vitality
and prepare for the problems of mid
dle life.
There is really nothing cheaper
than the attainment and preserva
tion of good health. Fresh air and
sleep are nature's free gifts, and
bodily activity a normal impulse of
the blood, while it costs less to eat
frugally than to overeat.

WORLD'S LARGEST LOOM.
At Rodewich, in Saxony, the cen
ter of the German textile industry,
there has been set up what is thought
to be the largest weaving loom in
the world. This huge crank loom is
77 feet long and 60 feet wide. It,
stands 10 feet high and weighs 35:
tons. The shuttle is of correspond
ing proportions, and travels to andj
fro at the rate of 15 times a minute
This machine is capable of turning
out seamless disks of felt, such as
are used in paper miUa, op to 233]
feet in circumference.

Rarely Found In Hla Breed.
And here is a dog story which
comes from the Journal's Skowhe
gan correspondent. The story is of
a fine young shepherd dog which
has strong religious tendencies. He
is the dog of Elmer Decker of
Hinckley. Shep is persistent in his
attempts to attend Sunday services.
A late scheme of his is to get up
very early Sunday morning, and call
upon a neighbor who takes him to
church in his carriage. On arriving
Shep makes a practice of walking
straight up the aisle to the platform,
where he takes his place in the
shodow of the pulpit. There, with
his nose protruding by the corner,
he can see what is going on at the
sane time he is listening.
The other day during the minis
ter's long prayer an automobile
came chugging and tooting along,
much to the disturbance of Shep's
Idea of the nicety of things. He
rushed through the open door witU
loud barking and scared the intruder
away, but his manner of quieting the
disturbance had a reviving effect
upon the audience, and our corre
spondent thinks the prayer must
have been shortened.—Kennebec
(Me.) Journal.

BEARERS OF NEUHlk
An elderly man arrived at the foot*
ball ground carrying two large wick*
er baskets.
"These 'ere pigeons are to tell the
people at 'ome 'ow things are goin',"
he explained. "Every goal we score
I'm goin' to let off a blue bird, and
if the other side gets a goal a white
'un's going up. Supposin' they've
scored a goal apiece at the finish,
iblue 'un and a white 'un goes off to*
jgether, and if there ain't no score,
then the birds'!! 'ave to go 'ome with
me."
Unfortunately, a youth with aq
.eye to fun took advantage of the
fancier's attention being centered oq
an exciting piece of play to liberate
the whole of the birds.
".Now you've done it, young feU
ler," said the old man, as he gazed
i at the culprit. "It'll cost me six
'pence for a telegraft 'ome to stop
'em from 'aving the band out. All
them pigeons goin' off together waa
to be a sign as 'ow our chaps had
laid out the referee."—Tit-Bits.
^CAPTURING" AN
v
-Mr
One of the incidents of the last
feeason in Dead Biver region that
escaped press notice at the time was
the fact that William Ledgyard of
'Boston and Albert Leavering of New
York, then guests at Round Moun
tain camps, attempted to capture an
eagle and were unable to carry off
the sky king alive. The furious
bird made such good use of his beak
and claws that the gentlemen were
finally obliged to hold him under
water until he was drowned, in order
to demonstrate that one of them was
not in reality a captive of the eagle.
