~ can, however, be confidently asserted that
prospects were were never good tor nth

stricken other parts of the world that come in
10 competition with us, and unless all natural
laWs are upset, We must reap golden reward.
our banks have an abundance of money for
legl innate enterprises, and though no tier
ment OF conditions is app rent in the East,
southern California has great promise OF p
perity during 1895. Every day we learn of
men OF means looking over the fled for bust

OF the promising condition OF business than
the TACT that for the first II days OF the month
there have been but four tailuIes in our dis

A Savings Bank Decision

man deposited at various times sums of
money in the Bristol County (Mass.) Savings
Bank to the credit of his son. He also with
drew sums at various times. The son brought
suit for the amounts deposited in the bank
but the father testified that he always kept
the bank book himself and never gave any OF
the Withdrawals to his son. and thatit was own
money which he deposit ed. The Supreme
Court rnled that "a deposit in savings bank
in the name of another is not alone sufficient
to prove gift, nor is the fact that the savings
bank books designates the depositor a
trustee for another conclusive evidence of The
existence of a trust."-Investor.

said he would drown himself in the

No Blood to Be Released.

The human puzzle struck Washington
the other day. His name is NiXbeno, OF
Harry Beno of Port of Spain, Trinidad,
and he Is enroute to New York, where,
he declares, he has been offered S25,'
600 and a ticket back to Cuba for let
ting the doctors amputate his left arm
in the interest of science. The human
puzzle is a short, stocky looking knight
of the road, and his great specially Is
self-torture and mutilatSon. He sticks
pins and needles into any part or him
he can reach, and he Is decorated all
over with scars inflicted by oDl1g1ng
individuals who at his request have eX'
perimented on him. The puzzle says
he has no physical sensibiIities and no
blood in his body. This last Is very
thoroughly disproved by a"strong. heal
thy pulse at the wrist, but the former
one might believe from the fact that
he sticks darning needles through his
tongue and hatpiDs through both sides
of his Jaws, while he invites anyone
who is interested and skeptical to run
Il long bonnet pin through his biceps
or his leg or any part of his body they
choose.
He has a hypodermic syringe needle
that he has fixed up for cigarette
holder and this he thrusts through his
windpipe and smokes a cigarette with
his mouth shut. He declares that he
does not mind being burned and shows
q number of scars which he says are
from recent electrical experiments. The
puzzle is shy third finger on his left
hand. This, he says, was amputated
in New Orleans just to show that he
would not bleed. and the proposed am
putation which he says Is to take place
ut Bellevue Hospital in New York will
be the consumation of a long and in
teresting public career After that the
puzzle says he will walk back to New

hold where the bird holds forth, with
some relatives and guests, partook Of a
late breakfast, and afterward went into
the parlors, where gifts were distrib-
uted, with the usual merriment and
chatter. This started the parrot, and
all day long, it made more noise than
a sewing society This was amusing al
first, but became monotomous, as the
hours passed, and at last, after vain eff
forts to quiet the bird by expostulation
its master took it from the cage, and
cuffed It's head severely. This had
often proved sufficient as q means OF
discipline, but the master of the house
