A St. John, N. B., despatch says: Some
startling fads relative to the defunct
Maritime Bank have leaked out lately in
connection with the trial of the Bank of
Nova Scotia vs.Harrison. 4' short .time
Prior to the White, Mr. A. A. Sterling, of
Fredericton, who had been, o 'director in,
the bank, sold out a large portion of his
stock in that concern to Mr. W. F. Hard -
eon, a St. John merchant, accepting the
latter's note therefor. The -note was de-
posited in the Bank of INTQVa Scotia,. and
when the time expired for payment Mr.
Harrison refused to meet it, alleging„„Mr.
Sterling was aware of the rottenness ofothe
Maritime Bank when he sold the shares.
The trial of the,ease, has ignited in a
thorough, exposure of the loose 'methods
adopted by the hank management, and some
°tithe evidence elicited gives rise tothe enepi-
°ion that MacLellan keeps two sett' of certain
books eo as. to .hide the true state of
bank Affairs from the directors. Mr.
Sterling emu= that although he • was a
director and attended a meeting at the
bank on July 29th, 1886, he did not know
that R. A. it J. Stewart, had then drawn
exchange= Stewart Bros London to the
extentef over 240,000. The -bulk of this
exchange was without an endorser.
Neither did he know that MacLellan, the
manager. of the bank, had surrendered
$75,000 worth of Guy, Bevan it Co.'s
securities and accepted instead certificates
of stook in the Trading Company to the
extent of 215,000. It has also been shown
in evidence that although 4the Trading
Company had a large amount to its credit
In the bank when . it failed, the bulk of it
ceree from the Stewed Exchange ' and was
really the bank's own money..
Mr. J.F. MoMilien, one of the liquids.-
tor's Clerks, itivoreteday that the deficiency
Of the hank, after deducting the value of
Besets, was over $1,300,000. The liituida.,
tors had realized nothing from. Stewart or
from Guy, Bevan 8t Co. From George
MoLeod,' who owed $168,000- when the
bank closed, they had got $4,000 and a
promise of a little more. •
The revelations are, not calculated t� in-
opire much hopein the breasts of notehold-
ers. MacLellan, who is largely responsible
for the crash, is said to be operating in reel
estate in Omaha.

H. Fennimore, of Farmingdale, had the
misfortune to loge the :sight of one eye, the
result of getting a hot cinder from the
locomotive in it. Abouta year afterward,

Revolving in his mind various projects

Beep Breathing.
(By William Blaikid.)
Nobody teaches American boys how to
breathe. City boys, and many from the
country, too, have finer 'chests before they
go to school than they, ever • do afterward.
Sitting in a school -room, or shop, or fac-
tory, or any other room five or six hours a
day, and then sitting most of the rest of
the day besides, does -much to weaken the
cheat, for when you sit still you do not
breathe your lungs half fall. Take one
large full breath now, and see how your
chest rises and mpanda, and hew differ-
ently from a minute ago, when breathing
only as you generally do. Many boys
actually do not breathe their lungs full
once in a whole -week.. Is 4 it any wonder
they have weak chests, and that they easily
catch.cend ? , • How are you to have strong
limp if you, do not use them? ,Which
has the strong, arms -the invalid leaving
a sick bed ,or the blacksmith? he who
upes his arms or he Who does not ? When
=Using . at the rate of lour miles an
hour, you breathe nearly fivetimea as much
air as when you are sitting still. Now the
fuller breaths you take, and the more of
there you take in a day, the stronger and
fuller cheat you are going to have. If every
boy in the United States would take a
thousand slow, very deep breathVevery day
from now on throughout his life, it woidd
almost double our vigor and effeativenese
as a nation. For deep breathing not only
enlarges the 'chest itself, and makes it
ohapelyand strong„butit. givespower and
vigor to the lungsandheart, and makes
them de their work . far better. And it
does the same to the stomach and bowels,
the liver and kidneys; indeed, to all the
vital organs., It makeethe blood richer. It
