Senator Tillman is the latest add

He broke down and sobbed aloud as
he concluded his speech in the senate
on the case of Mrs. Morris, who was
elected from the White House. Sena-

speech on Cuban reciprocity, but the
prize "weeper" Of them all is Senator
Teller; Of Colorado. At the best his
voice is fearful, but Of late years he
has been giving away to his feelings
and when thoroughly aroused to his
subjects he sheds tears and his voice
is choked with sobs Of emotion. The

also in the weeping class Of senators.

Dreams and Their Influence.

Eight hundred persons, chiefly WON

interviewer their experience in dreams

that dreams can be prevented by sug-

after occurrence, while with grown

longer is the interval between it and

Record Of Financial Institutions FOR
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Canada, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one OF
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions OF Can
ada, and the business of the charter
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion OF
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
noted in the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as to the COM
position of the Canadian banking sys-
tenn, 1t is claimed that its flexible
currency has many commendaDle
features, and without which the last
few months Of the year must have pro-
duced a money stringency with prob
ably disastrous results, 1t Is felt that
a wider field of credit in the Dominion
is needed, and consequently the capi-
tai of many existing banking institu-
lions has been increased and several
new banks are in progress of organiza-
ton.
The chartered banks Of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence Of the gen.
eral public to greater extent than
ever before. The total deposits Of the
people In these institutions last year
were $522.317.000, which shows an In
crease of over s56. O0O,O 900 for the year.
In actual money in bank probably no
other country in the world. compare
lively speaking, can make a better
showing than Canada.
The total deposits Of the Canadian
people in the Government savings
banks, In special savings institutions.
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum Of $609. $4,000. This represents
an average credit balance of over
500 per head Of the population OF the
Dominion. and It is stated that the
only other country In the world that
approaches this record is Denmark.
where the average credit balance Ii

Aie nav of Fate.

Death from snake bite Is somewhat
rare in South Africa, but record case
is reported from the veldt. A Boer
named Johannes Smit had gone to the
mouth of the Selous river to shoot
crocodiles, when he had an exciting
encounter with leopard. Smit would
undoubtedly have met his death If
large hound, which was accompanying
him, had not sprung upon the wound
ed animal, enabling Smit to fire Sec
ond charge. Almost Immediately after
the incident, as he was passing through
thick underground, the unfortunate
man was bitten by poisonous snake
and his death occurred within an
hour or two.

still Believe in Horoscopes.

Sir George Airy, the great astron-
omer royal, once stated that it was
by no means an uncommon occurrence
for them to receive letters at Green
wich observatory from people asking
what the fees would be for horoscopes
which would show them what the fu-
ture had in store. When they were
informed that casting horoscopes was
no part of an astronomer royals
duties they seemed to lose all respect
for the office. When he informed
them, besides, that horoscopes were
nonsense they wondered how such a
simpleton had managed to obtain such
position.
