companied by q falling off In deposits and
an increase In the reserve. There appears
to be nothing at present which foreshadows
an increase In the loan item. In fact. many
of the banks report that their lines are
rather well filled. and the market has
displayed considerable ease during the
week. An advance In the current rates
therefore, will depend In a great measure
on the reduction of the balances which
country banks maintain at this center

Money in Wasps

Along the banks of the Cape Fear river
in North Carolina are lowlands, behind
which lies a higher level, or bench. The
lowlands are subject to more or less fire.
quent overflow by freshets, which are
destructive to crops planted thereon. A
number of years ago farmer, resident
lin the vicinity, made very comfortable
sum of money by insuring his neigh
bors' crops against these freshets. His
unvarying success as an insurer was for
many years profound mystery 70 the
people of the region. The years when he
declined to insure were invariably years
of destructive overflow. The years he
was willing to insure were equally GER
tain to be seasons of exemption from dis
aster.
In the earlier days in New England
this mans reading of the future would
have brought him some unpleasant ex-
perience as a dabbler If not an adept,
in black art. In the middle ages of Eu-
rope he would probably have been re-
vered as a prophet and saint. Yet his
information came from no occult source.
Observation had shown him that cer-
tain species of wasp. which built its
home in the ground, built some years on
the lowlands and other years upon the
higher level. Experience taught him that
when the wasps built on the lowlands
there were no freshets, and when they
built on the higher ground, the lower
would, some time during the season,
be submerged. The man had simply
noted an instance of that little under
stood prescience manifested by certain
insects and animals. better knowledge
of which might even be of service to our
national weather bureau. 1t was only
at his death that he revealed his secret.

Rupture Cured

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Jan. 2S, 1897.
Prof. Joseph-Fandrey, s21 South Broadway,
Los Angeles CAL:
Dear Sir-I wish to write and thank you
for your wonderful cure of my case OF
rupture which you have been treating.
Since you pronounced me cured on jan
uary 1st and discarded my truss, I must
say that I do feel that l am absolutely
cured, for since have been going without
a truss l feel as well as l over did in my
life and have no signs of any weakness.
1 think your cure all the more remarka .
BILE, for when ruptured myself two of the
best physicians said would never get over
1t without an operation. That was over
four years ago. and today / am a well man.
and wish to say to those whom 1t may con-
cern, that when I was tempted as last
resort to try your truss found 1t per-
fection discomfort.
l have tried great many kinds of store
trusses and have found them all more or
less Instruments of torture so that felt
that in your truss l really found q bless
ing.
/ earnestly request that all who wish will
call on me and l shall be only too glad
to explain the advantages Of your truss
and treatment. So again let me thank you
for your cure; also for your kind care
while taking your treatment.
Yours respectfully,
ARTHUR MDOUGALL.
