SAVING BANKS
PROVE PROSPERITY
Deposits More Than One Dill.
lion Dollars Over Those
Of 1896

II the financial prosperity of the
workingmen Of this city is to be
guaged by the amount OF money they
have on deposit in the savings funds
.of the city, the year 1900 is their most
prosperous one. This is proved by the
books OF the Artisans Savings Bank
and the Wilmington Savings Fund So
ciety which SHOW that there is on de-
posit in those institutions to-day ST.
000,0 900 more than there was i'm 1896.
and $3,l62 more depositOrs. On OctO-
Der 81 the Artisans Savings Bank had
on deposit 1884. 4.319.25: it now has on
deposit $l,064,512.92, an increase of
S2S0,193.67. The number Of depositors
Is now 1850, an increase Of $50 since
the same time in 1896.
The Wilmington Savings Fund So
ciety, which is an older institution
than the Artisans, had on deposit this
time in 1896. S3,126.57O.72; at the pres
ent time it has on deposit $4.052 ,10S1O,
an increase OF 1925, 1888. The num-
ber OF depositors in 1896 was 16,505.
and at present the number Is 1907, an
increase Of 2,512.
The total deposits in both banks to-
day IS S5,116.6l9.O2, as against $780,
SS9.97 in 1896, and the total number Of
depositors 22,5C7, as against 1905 in
1896.
That business men also have had a
prosperous year is proved by the re-
port Of the Wilmington clearing house.
which shows an increase Of S11, 500, ,761
in clearings over those Of 1886
This is regarded as a. more convinc-
ing story of prosperity than has been
uttered by any political orator since
the present campaign opened.

NUTS AND APPLIES.

On Halloween nuts and apples are.
and have always been. favorite means
for telling fortunes. In early English
days nuts were used so much that the
3lst of October was dubbed, Nut
crack night. A tried and true" spell
for testing the cOnstancy OF ones
sweetheart. is to put two nuts on the
bars Of the CRATE or on the stove, one
being for the fair questioner, the other
for her sweetheart. If ilis jumps or
cracks, he is fickle. but II they both
burn slowly side by side, they will
marry and "be happy ever after" You
can also try two kernels of popping
corn by putting them into a skillet or
pepper without a lid. II they pop
decorously inside they remain fast
friends. If one pops outside friend
ship is broken by the person toward
whom it pops.
Who has not. half-mocking, half
tearing, eaten an apple before mir
ror on the stroke of twelve. 10 see her
lovers face in the glass? Another
charm with an apple is to peel IL care
fully, moving from stem TO the bios
som end, uttering never a word, but
thinking always of your sweetheart.
Then, in solemn silence. whirl il three
times around the head, slowly, and
mentally repeating:
Apple sweet or apple sour.
Spell his name upon the floor;
If the letters there see
Then ! know a bride I'll be,
IF you break, my heart will, too,
For III know my loves mot true.
Take the seeds of this same apple
and name two, put one on each eye
lid. and the one that stays on the
longer is the name of the lover who Is
the truest. Fair maids. however. often
know how to control this. for a slight
twitch of the eyelid makes the less
favored seed pop out. and so fate is
cheated. You can also use the apple
seeds for finding your fortune in any
of the following ways; Have some one
name It with a friends name. not tell
ing 1t. and count the seeds-1. I love;
2, 1 love; 3. I love I say; 4. 1 love
with all my heart; 5, ! cast away;

The map is made in four shades The
highest shade shows the states which
have the lowest per cent. of deaths due
TO catarrh diseases. In these states very
close to 2 4per cent of all deaths in 1890
were due to catarrhal diseases. That is

were from catarrhal affections.
In the states of next darker shade the

we have indicated the states in which
