A SAVINGS BANK FAILS
Because It Gould Not Realize Quickly
on Assets.

San Jose, Cal, Feb. 1.-The Union
Savings bank of this city suspended
payment today. The cashier, Anton
Frfant, stated that the trouble was due
to the inability of the concern to real
ize at once on assets, and further
stated that in closing the doors the
bank was following the advice of coun-
sci.
The bank was organized a number of
years ago under the state laws and has
done a general banking business The
authorized capital is 100000 and the
pafd up capital is $780, 900. The reserve
fund is placed at $4,000.
There has been no public statement
of deposits for some time, but 1t is

toner.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells how such @ slave was made free.

Alter using two bottles of Electric Bit ters she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work" This su- preme remedy for female diseases quick ly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel ancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaran- teed. Only soc. Sold by all dealers in medicines.

'speetacied' Animals.

Birds are furnished with a peculiar membrane, which in a state of repose lies in the inner angle of the eye, but is movable by two distinct muscles, which draw it over the cornea. It is, to a certain extent, transparent, for, ae- cording to Cuvier, birds can look through it, as the eagle does when looking at the sun. This membrane forms a pair of spectacles, or, at least, answers the same purpose This mem brane is called the third eyelid One Of the most comical and grotesque an- imals is the "spectacled bear" Ursus ornatus), which derives it's chief att traction from the light-colored rings around it's eyes. These-the greater part of the face being, like the body, black-have exactly the appearance of a pair Of common goggles" through which the beast seems to look with an air of mingled wisdom and imbecility. The speetaeled bear is only found in the mountainous regions of Chili, South America.

Hen and Terrier.

A. w Giehm of Sioux City, Iowa, re- gently purchased sitting of eggs and placed them under an old hen in his hen-house. In the same hen-house lives terrier. A few days ago the animal gave birth to eight white pup pies, and they were placed in a box in the corner. To the astonishment of the owner, his hen left her thirteen eggs and placed herself in full charge of the puppies. She has been cuddling the tiny pups under her wings and will allow no one to take them away with out great fight The mother of the pups is on friendly relations with the hen, it would seem, for she lies on the floor and seems to have no objection to the foster mother In the meantime the expensive sitting of eggs spoiled.

A Great Mans Brain.

The brain of Hermann von Helm holtz. who diedlin 1894, has been care fully measured, weighed and studied by Prof. Hansemann of the University of Berlin, who has recently published a report on the subject, accompanied by photographs. The brain exceeded the average in weight, but heavy brains are no longer regarded as fur
 nishing alone an index of mental ca pacity. Far more significant are the eonvolutions of the brain. and these in Helmholtz's case were remarkable, the furrows being peculiarly deep and well marked ln those parts of the brain which are concerned with mental as- sociations. The frontal convolutions were so deeply furrowed that it was difficult for the investigators to follow the ordinarily recognized Assures.

RUSSIA ABREAST OF THE TIMES Frauds in the Construction of the Si-
 berian Railway.

It Is not known that those in charge of the construction of the Siberian railway were ever under the tutelage of the members of the American Credit Mobilier, but, judging by reports that come from that region, they would ea apt pupils. They certainly L,-.e s.s1 or two that would put theil ...4erlean compatriots to the blush. It appears that the different works Lave been executed in a man. ner that shows very little conscience. Everything, or nearly everything, will have to be done over again before the authorities can think of throwing open this gigantic line to regular working. In very many places the road gives way on the passage of train little heavier than usual or travelling at a speed of more than twenty miles an hour, and accidents more or less grave are continually happening. More than usual courage is demanded of any one undertaking a journey on this rail- way. This construction Ia Russe has already swallowed up hundreds of mill lions of rubles, or, to speak more truthfully, the constructors and not the construction have absorbed the millions. People are beginning to ask how it will finish. There is still more. Several Siberian journals, which are, moreover, closely controlled by the local censors, publish the following statements: For several months the navVy contractors have not been paid in cash despite the terms of their contracts. The engineers in charge, who represent the government, de- clared that they had no more money and the contractors must be satisfied with bonds, which the Siberian and Chinese banks have for some time discounted at 81A per cent. Frequently these bonds were not paid on falling due, and in consequence the banks re- fuse to act any longer as .intermedia- ries between the government engineers and the contractors. It was. only when one of these engineers, Prince A, who had made a fortune, undertook to be personally responsible to the banks that they resumed the functions of discount brokers. But the princes guaranty is somewhat costly, seeing that he claims little fee of 15 per cent. The contractors are furious, but they find themselves helpless, owing to the clause inserted in all the con- tracts to the effect that disputes be- Sween the engineers and the contract prs Of the line have to be settled in St. Petersburg. To lodge a complaint coco miles from the spot where the circumstances have occurred is at least inconyenient and would entail years delay. The position of the unfortu= nate navyies themselves can be imag ined from the treatment of the con tractors. Their wages are paid very irregularly and always with deduc- tions Badly fed and badly lodged, it is not surprising if they give only half a heart to the work"
