! Do you know there are GIL banks in

of this year these banks have on deposit
o., AGO. 16O, 2629 Of this great amount
the banks of the State of New York hold
more than one-third. The bank with
the largest deposit in this country is the
Bowery Savings Bank, of New York,
which reports $47, 914,7 There are
thirty banks in New York City with de.
posits exceeding ten millions dollars.
The total amount of wealth deposited in
the banks:of New York State is over a
billion and q half of dollars. L or about
twenty five dollars per capitk for all the
people of the United States. These
figures are from the FFndncier, and are
perhaps correct, but it does seem if they
are that we ought to have more money

! Remarks the San. Francisco Chronicle :
Gorglng on watermelons by day and
dancing half the night is not a good
method of getting rid of malariaI fever,
yet this was the system employed by the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes of Oklahoma.
The result has been the gathering of q
large number of the braves to the happy
hunting grounds. The incident is note.
worthy as showing the level of intelli-
gence among the best Indians of the
plains, and their dense ignorance Of the
simplest laws of health.

E Lawyers will be interested in knowing
that Judge Walton, of Corsicana, Texas,
has just decided that they cannot be
taxed for pursuing their calling. Judge
Walton said that a lawyers occupation
was an. Office, with its privileges and re-
probabilities, and lasted during good
behavior. It was unlike all other occu.
pations, because an officer of the court
and part of the court, and his occupa.
ton was no more taxable than that of
judge, justice of the peace, sheriff or
any one else holding judicial Office.
